Avantree C171 - USB-C Wired Earbuds with Microphone & Volume Controls, Compatible with New iPhone 15 & 16, Samsung, Google & Android Type C Phones Headphones with Ear Hook for Running & Sports

UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am updating this review that I had initially submitted. Approximately 8 months after I bought these (Sep. 2023), the right earbud stopped working all the sudden. I could jiggle and hold the volume control and the sound would come back, but that was not an option. Therefore, I contacted Avantree Support and let them know what happened. They responded by email within 24 hours (other responses for the Support Incident were even quicker than that), and indicated they would send me a new set at no charge as they were still under warranty and provided clear instructions on how to order the new ones. The new ones arrived yesterday, 05/28/24 and they work like a charm. I am still very satisfied with the earbuds, and the professional customer service provided by Avantree. I still feel these are a very good value for the price, given the way they handled replacing the original defective set. ORIGINAL: I have had these Avantree E171 - Sports Earbuds Wired with Microphone for about 3 weeks now and I mainly use these on the treadmill when I run. I have found these to be more than adequate for that purpose. I previously bought Koss $6 headphones for the same purpose but I found those didn't last long enough before one of the earpieces would just go dead. With the Avantree, I can see that for the price, they are a little better made and the wiring is a little stronger. They don't seem flimsy at all, and the earbuds themselves and the portion that fits on your ears seem to be sturdy. They fit on my ears nicely enough with the loops and they do not bother me with or without glasses. They come with the middle size eartips attached, but I did find that when I run on the treadmill, they seemed to jump around a little, so I put on the larger ones. (The earbuds come with 3 sizes of eartips). The eartips are a little hard to get off and get the new ones on but you just need to grab the main part of the earbud and grab the base of the eartip and twist and pull a little to take it off, then work the new one on to the stem by working the opening of the eartip on the stem and pushing down and twisting a little. I have dexterity issues with my hands and I still got them on and off in about a minute. As far as the sound, these are not bass heavy at all, but that is fine (especially for the price) as the music I listen to doesn't have much bass (such as with rap and some rock), but I found there is enough bass where needed, and they provide a nice rich, melodic sound without being "tinny" at all. In addition, although they do not have built-in noise cancelling functionality, I find that with the larger eartips when I am on the treadmill in our community fitness room, I do not hear the lady that babbles on loudly and continuously :). Thank You Avantree! I have not tried these with a cell phone, so I can't speak to using with that. But, I have tried these on an iPod shuffle, an iPod touch and an iPad. The product listing here under "Before You Buy, Please Note That..." notes: "The built-in volume control does not work on PC, laptop, or iOS MP3 players, and the volume up button does not work on the Pixel 3A and Galaxy A9, S10, and Note 9 (it'll activate Google Assistant instead)." I will verify the in-cord volume control and the pause button does not work on the iPod shuffle, but I found they DO work on the iPod Touch and my iPad. Seems to be a bit of a bonus. Overall, I think they are worth the price and provide a set of nice sounding wired earbuds.

I put together a video sharing why I genuinely love these earbuds because they have quickly become my go to. I personally do not like wireless headphones. I prefer wired and these check every box for me. They feel very secure in my ears and I love the wrap around ear design. They stay in place and never feel like they are going to fall out, even when I am moving around. Comfort is a big deal for me and these are comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time. The built in buttons make it easy to adjust the volume or answer and end calls without having to touch my phone. That is something I really appreciate. There is also a small clip that helps keep the cords together which is such a simple but thoughtful feature. The sound quality is great. Clear audio, no issues with calls, and no problems so far at all. Honestly, this has been the best wired headphone set I have used in a very long time and I am so glad I found them. Highly recommend if you prefer wired earbuds and want something secure, comfortable, and reliable.

These are nice usbc around/over ear earbuds. I purchased them about a year ago and they have been great. They sound good and have good bass, treble, and highs. This is coming from someone with lots of sound equipment. I wanted a cheap pair for cutting the grass and going on walks, as other earbuds always fall out of my ears, so I need the ones with the hooks over the ear. These fit me perfectly Had an issue after about a year and the right bud stopped working. I reached out to Avantree and the representative, Riza, was super nice and easy to work with. They sent out a new one right away and then had me ship them the one that stopped working. New pair works perfectly and I still have a warranty. I appreciate the good customer service and hope the new pair last a while. I used them a lot and plan to use these a lot too.

I was ready to leave a negative review until I realized I was wearing it wrong. I never owned a pair of earbuds like this so I was wearing it completely wrong and complaining the entire time trying to figure out how people were giving this thing five star reviews, when it was clearly garbage.. Man, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Once I learn to wear it properly, I can now report they’re comfortable for all day where, even with my glasses on. They weigh next to nothing so all day comfort is not an issue. I actually forgot I was wearing it. There is nothing spectacular about the sound quality. It sounds good and I can listen some music but nothing special to report. It’s a decent balance of highs, mids and lows.

what a lovely earbuds! I wear it around my house and go biking. it is just so easy to use with great voice.

I bought these corded earbuds specifically to wear when calling my elderly mom while I'm doing cardio at the gym. With my wireless earbuds she always says she can't hear me well. These inexpensive corded earbuds work great! I talked for an hour with these yesterday and Mom said the volume and clarity were perfect. As for comfort, they weren't super comfortable inside my ear but they do come with some extra rubber ear gels so I will try a different pair next time. I like the secure hook that goes around the ear so they don't fall off while I'm working out. The cord is quite long, maybe longer than I would ideally prefer, but then again, that's maybe because I'm only 5'4". If you're super tall, you won't have to worry about the cord being too short. It's plenty long. So far, for the price, these are more than satisfactory. I would recommend.

fit over my ears nicely, I do have small ears though. Comfortable, great sound, so happy to have these for sports.

For the money, I'm very impressed with the quality, fit and comfort of these earphones. I was fed of using the typical in-ear buds that would fall out the moment you even thought about them. These sports headphones hold in place during activities (I'm a hiker, not a runner) and the sound quality is very good. You don't need to push them deep in to your ear to keep them in position. The in-line volume and play/pause controls are compatible with both my iPod and my Android phone. There is an optional clip that can be used to secure any part of the wiring to your clothing and a selection of earbuds are included in the set, so that you can find the correct fitting for your ear holes. My only slight gripe (and it's not specific to this brand) is that when you don't wish to wear them but want them to remain plugged in then, hanging from your neck, they are more weighty than earbuds without clips. So far, so good!

Good quality item. Very reasonably priced. Easy to use and comfortable. Definitely recommend! You will not find something similar in this price range! Though, I would prefer a red colour, black is also stylish! Good item!

Excelente sonido, buen agarre
