FiiO FF1 Beryllium-plated Driver Earbud with Detachable Cable (Black)

Exactly what I needed from a pair of earbuds. They don't isolate so I can hear everything around me, including my own voice. This saves me from shouting when in a call at work and without having to remove them in order to speak to someone in the same room.The sounds is not harsh, nor trying to overcompensate with base. I use them for calls, podcasts and music without any issues at all, very clear and concise.What I didn't expect was all the accessories that came with the earbuds. There are a number of different covers for different use cases. The soft rubber bits that assist in keeping the buds in place were a nice touch and worked well at keeping them in but ended up being a little too harsh for my ears.I was pleasantly surprised with foam covers. They feel almost useless in the hand but when fitted, they add the comfort required and don't really add any size to the buds, making them feel less intrusive.Due to the actual design style there are limitations in what to expect, but overall they do exactly what I want from them. That mixed in with the ability to replace the wire if needed, amazing.You really do get your monies worth here.

good for their price if you're not an audiophile.

Nor bad, but something is wrong with the cable. Most likely just a faulty piece.

I use them mostly for sleeping, and they are very comfortable. Sound quality is pretty good for the price. They don't feel as well made as ff5, but this was expected. My only gripe is the usb dongle. Plug is a bit too short compared to other usb c plugs, which causes it to loose connection often and stop playback. I guess that's why it said "gift" on the little bag it came in.
