UliX Rider Wired Earbuds in-Ear Headphones, Earphones with Microphone, 5 Years Warranty, with Anti-Tangle Cable, Ear Buds for iPhone, iPad, Samsung, School Students, Kids, Women, Small Ears

Coming from $350.00 earbuds (multiple i.e. pairs at that cost (warranty replacements), and definitely nothing made by beats or dre) I was worried about the quality being a steep decline. I've also done a little of over 20 years in professional mixing and mastering, so I've seen and worked with quite a few different types of earbuds/headphones (in ear and over) at various price points/ranges over the years. But this review will not be comparing these ULIX headphones, to in-ear headphones ten times their sell price; to me that sounds like comparing a Toyota to a Porsche. Critically speaking, the mid/low end is a bit muddy, but at the "value for money" I was pleasantly surprised by several things. My experience at this price point was (realistically) expecting a hollow, tin-can, thin sounding set of earbuds, but these headphones have a respectable balance between the low, mid (a little low/thin), and high ranges (with a predisposition towards the low end, but definitely not flat frequency). Not only is the sound quality very respectable (again at the price point) (which could be argued as $5.00, but more on that later); I have bought $10.00 to $35.00 earbuds that can't hold a candle to these. The cord seems quite durable (fiber woven) and the tips of the in-ear inserts are magnetized. Obviously, these aren't noise canceling/cancellation headphones (nor do I remember the seller even making those claims). In my opinion, expecting a $10.00 set of earbuds to come with "noise cancellation," is like expecting a $1.00 Big Mac to come with bacon. 100.00 is more realistic if you're looking for noise cancellation (I don't even think $10.00 noise canceling headphones exist). I would argue that I received something better than noise cancellation though, as these ship with an additional spare set of the exact same headphones! In my opinion, these have set a new standard/expectation for budget headphones, and certainly the best $10.00 ($20.00, or $30.00) I have ever bought. I would classify these as a good set of in-ear "listening" or gym headphones and a great value for the money.

I use earbuds at work daily, and I am pretty rough on them. I go through 4-6 pairs a year because they eventually get shorts in them and have to be replaced. I had never heard of UliX before purchasing these. I wasn't expecting much considering they have a standard sized cord that is wrapped in a fabric material. So far this is the longest lasting pair of earbuds I have used in the past 4 years. Incredible. I've had them for a little over 4 months and haven't noticed any signs of wear. The braided nature of the cord seems to make them less likely to kink up. The plug connector, which is where most of mine have failed over the years, is low profile and strong. I think its small footprint also has played a part in their longevity. The sound quality is great for my purposes. They even cancel out some of the outside noise when you wear them. I haven't personally used the call and volume controls, but I would suspect they are on point as well. What I really enjoy is that they back their products with a 5 year warranty. That says a lot about their faith in their products. They also include a nice little (seemingly?) handwritten note thanking me for my support of their business. It is little things like that that really set this pair of earbuds apart from the pack. I'm a fan of UliX, and as long as these hold up or their warranty holds true, I will be a long term customer of their brand.

Ordered two pairs at the end of August, 2021. TL;DR: It seems good if you're just sitting or working at your computer. Cord noise is too much for anything approaching active use (e.g., exercise). Not as robust as I had hoped for, but my standards for that may be excessive. Still have to start testing the second pair. I mostly used the first pair at my desktop, although I sometimes went to bed with them in. I frequently toss and turn in my sleep, so I'm not particularly surprised that the left earbud has ceased functioning at the end of February 2022. So...about six months. I wouldn't be surprised if this usage were considered abuse not covered under warranty. I could be wrong, but oh well. I don't intend to use the warranty, since I still have the spare set. I just wanted to share my experience a little. While they functioned, I found these earbuds reasonably comfortable. Cord length is all right, about 24 inches before the divide? I once owned an old pair of Audio-Technica headphones in the past, so I have some frame of reference for what "excessive" cord length might be like, even if I liked having that extra length. Each set comes with interchangeable ear pieces for different sized ear holes, and the mid-sized one works best for me. I'll abstain from commenting overly much on the sound quality, since I'm not an audiophile, but I did find the bass rather nice, and I enjoyed a range of different instrumental music genres (much of it from, or otherwise inspired by, video games). Mostly rock, metal, synth, orchestral, and symphonic stuff. It also worked pretty well for watching videos and playing video games. I didn't bother trying to use the mic, though, so I can't comment on that. While most users would find the effective sound isolation a plus, and I've occasionally benefited from being able to insulate myself from the outside world on occasion, it's more of a mixed bag for me. Generally, I prefer to retain my situational awareness. Sometimes, I can hear the cord moving, and on occasion, I've also heard air blown by a fan moving over the cord, somehow. If I had to guess, this is just the nature of earbuds with such an effective seal, as sound waves are vibrations anyway. I'll be breaking out the second pair, as of March 2022, and abstain from sleeping with them in. Theoretically, this should help the second pair will last longer. If possible, I will try to revisit and update this review in the future. Hopefully, not anytime soon.

Wow, low pice earbuds that sound great. Replaced my others and these sound way better. 90 degree plug and heavy cables should keep these going for a long time

I had actually purchased one of these from this company a good while ago. The manufacturers were kind enough to send me two pairs. I had a bad history with wired earbuds, as someone in a house full of cats. They usually had a lifespan of a few weeks, maybe a few months if I was lucky. These pairs lasted me MULTIPLE years. They were comfortable, sturdy, and easy to transport when I needed to move my stuff around. They delivered high quality audio, none of the grainy stuff you’ll hear from dollar store earbuds. And when they finally did reach the end of their rope, one of the earbuds and microphone still worked! I decided it was time to retire them and buy a new pair. If I could recommend any brand of wired headphones, it would be these. I don’t normally write reviews for things I buy, but I felt I had to share how great of an experience I’ve had with this brand. I got everything and more you could ask for in a product.

OK. The microphone is not durable as just in one month, they broke after constant use. However, they do sound good as they have an adjustable earbud fit. I have found that the cord is long and flexible. Making them able to fit in compact places such as the box they come in. The cost of these is a little overpriced. The compatibility for these is good as it is a aux cord, that can be used for pratically everything. Overall an okay product.

These ear buds are STURDY, yes had to shout it out. Because of ear problems I sleep with ear buds to block out internal noise, meaning I can damage or destroy a set of ear buds in a matter of weeks due to twisting and/or turning in my sleep. The coil of the ear buds becomes tangled, broken, or disconnected from the ear inserts. Due to the design of these ear buds, my first set lasted about 8 months even through entanglements, twisting and knots. I ordered a second set back in April, 2 pairs at the price of a little over $17 is a great value for your money. Although the company offers a 5-year warranty on their product I chose not to use the warranty, my use is outside normal wear and tear. Also, the sound quality is excellent, the cord length is just right.

I loved these earbuds and only used them occasionally. Out of the blue after storing them safely in their pouch for several months, the right side stopped working. They have a 5-year warranty so I contacted the company who put me through a bunch of hoops and loops to honor the warranty, they finally shipped out a replacement, however I still haven't received it. The package was shipped by Amazon 12 days ago and still hasn't been delivered, and there's been no tracking update except for May 16 when it was shipped from Las Vegas. I contacted the company about this and they keep stalling saying there's a delay with my package. I believe the package is lost and they're just delaying sending a new headset. I'm getting very frustrated about this hence the negative review. UPDATE 1: I contacted the seller again expressing my frustration and it was explained to me that they couldn't do anything until the package was either declared lost or returned to Amazon. UPDATE #2: AUDIO FORMULA USA sent a replacement shipment, so I can vouch for the company honoring their 5-year warranty. The new earbuds no longer have a braided cord which I liked because from my experience, they hold up better in the heat where I live. The new cord is a heavier gauge so maybe it will hold up. The sound quality is fantastic! I don't understand the reviewers who say there's no base. I subtracted one star for the hassle I went through trying to get the warrantied item replaced. I will update again should it fail but for now, I recommend these earbuds because of the sound quality and the L-shaped jack which is hard to find nowadays. I was just told that the cable is made of silicone which is more durable. I can attest to the fact that it's tangle free.

Son buenos, me gustaría que duraran más

I was pleasantly surprised to see a hand written note of appreciation for buying from a family business (thanks Alice), and the product is built better than expected. Looks durable for the price, comfortable, and the buds are magnetic?! Say less, and the sound quality for $20, impressive. Great separation, great mid tones, bass is there but doesn't muffle the treble. All with a carry pouch too. Best $20 earbuds I've bought, period. I'm a big sound guy (moms account), dad won 31 world championships in car stereo, so sound is important to me. Very impressed, and they haven't been broken in yet. I just wanna listen to music but I have stuff to do sadly xD

These are brilliant and well worth the money, sound quality is excellent also you can't hear outside noises plus the cable is robust, good quality. These are the best ones I've ever bought, excellent, tip top.

The tangle free cord is great, and I like the magnetic ear pieces so they can snap together around my neck. Sound quality is very good. This also kindly included a free second set - fantastic price for two headsets. The included handwritten letter was a nice, personal, cute addition.

Viene con todo lo descrito en el anuncio y una notita de agradecimiento. Son comodos de usar con iman en los auriculares para q no se enreden. El sonido es bastante nítido, está configurado para q las voces se escuchen un poquito mas altas q el resto de sonidos, por eso a veces no se me hace tan envolvente ciertos videos con musica por ejemplo, aunq no es gran problema porq se oye todo genial y en las llamas de movil funciona muy bien. Lo recomiendo,😄 muy buena calidad precio, ( ya que he pagado mas dinero por cascos q me han durado 2 dias literalmente )estoy muy contenta.
