Sephia SP3060 Wired Headphones, HD Bass Driven Audio, Lightweight Aluminum Wired in Ear Earbud Headphones, S/M/L Ear Bud Tips, Earphone Case, 3.5mm Tangle-Free Cord, No Mic

Id like to thank the Sephia customer service team. I did have issues with my original set. Before I decided what coarse of action to take, Sephia reached out to me. I didn't even reply before they sent me a replacement set - wow! They offered to replace them if I was still having issues. They also noted there is a warranty (if needed) to replace them in the future.After a few days passed, I received a replacement set. I greatly appreciate it. I was still having intermittent issues with the original set, so everything is now working out perfectly. The set works wonderfully. As I noted before, I really loved these Sephia earbuds from the get go.They have great sound quality. Powerful bass, yet also clear mids and highs without suppression. Usually I have to adjust earbuds and headphones thru an EQ - not these. Just right for me. They sound great in every device I plug them into. Right now, I have them connected to an external DAC that's hooked up to my desktop PC. No problems with power handling either. No distortion at high volumes.I listen to mostly Alt Rock and respective off shoots. Electronica, Trip Hop, Punk - all sound awesome on these Sephia earbuds. Dubstep & EDM - no worries. Sounds great! I was listening to the live recording of The Distillers @ Reading in 2004 - sounds way to good for $15 earbuds!!! (it also makes me miss those days and wish I had the money and time back then to fly from the US to England to see it in person)....Bottom line is - u feel the music with these Sephia earbuds. Enough to actually feel an emotional connection to what you're listening to.I'm so glad I ran across them on Amazon. No regrets.Also - customer service is exceptional if u have any issues.If anything occurs that would alter my review, I'll give an update.Advice to readers- buy these right now. No need to read anymore reviews.Previous update:I added one star (2 stars total) because I can get these Sephia earbuds to work properly intermittently. I'm being nicer than (probably) anyone else in this case. I really do like...no wait -love these Sephia earbuds. I had to keep trying bc it's not worth it (multiple reasons) for me to physically return them...(health issues, printer issues, inconvenience, etc)After playing around with them a bit (very gently - moving around the wires, carefully plugging and unplugging them) -still no response from the right side driver that went out. <<<Again- this is only the 2nd / 3rd day now using them>>>. Also, I can assure u, I am very gentle with all my electronic devices and accessories. Matter of fact, I embarrassingly admit I'm literally (for real) OCD about my earbuds, headphones, etc. I have 3 listening stations in my house. I have a total of 4 headphone stands and also a couple of wall hook/racks that house my assorted headphones and earbuds. I'm extremely careful with everything - to the point someone watching me handle them would think im a little over the top OCD. So - point is, I didn't hurt these earbuds.It occurred to me that maybe there's an impedance or resistance issue with these earbuds. Or maybe (for some reason) the right side driver isn't getting enough power to it...so I decided to plug them into one of my headphone amps to see what happens.They worked! Came to life like nothing happened. I tried another source (a Bluetooth transmitter/ receiver) that runs a little bit of extra power - and BOOM....still works.I once again tried several other headphones and earbuds plugged directly into my phone. No issues with all other listening devices plugged into my phone. So, these Sephia earbuds are working intermittently depending on what you plug them into. So I gave them a second star.****Obviously there's still a major problem with this particular set of earbuds.I really wish they worked properly all the time. Later, depending on if they still work, I may give more details on what I do like (pretty much everything).I've read a bunch of low ranking reviews and many of them are completely mistaken or even wrong. I say very confidently, that people who think they sound tinny, have no bass, or sound way off -;they aren't getting a good seal. Even folks that "know what their doing" can have a bad fit with their earbuds and not realize it. I've had it happen to me. I kept getting differing sound results (unfavorable) with a particular pair of earbuds that I was 100% certain I had fit properly. However, after spending a lot of time changing out ear tips (that both came with the set and other extra ear tips i had layn around). In that case (again - not these Sephia's but a different pair) I ended up using an extra pair of Spinfit 360 ear tips I had. It was a world of difference and those earbuds sounded as great as the reviews in that particular case.So a lot of these bad reviews here are likely unwarranted. Of coarse, the ones that have drivers going out (like this one ) are valid.I did see a ridiculous one star review where the person absolutely loved earbuds (like me) but gave it one star bc they only lasted a year and a half. Yes - a product such as this should last longer (even being very inexpensive) - but only one star when the person loved them...a year and a half isn't great, but it's not the next day like mine ....or several months like others. I would (maybe) take off one star <max> in that case, but my gosh - for a price that's usually around $15 for these, I certainly wouldnt complain much if they did a great job for that long. Especially if I really liked them. I would say with certainty that $15 is worth it ever year and a half if they did a great job and I really liked them.Anyway, even with my not-so-good situation with these, I want to be at least fair when reviewing this product.If anything changes, I will come back to add comments. I am still very disappointed btw :(Original comments:Up until the 2nd day of listening to these Sephia earbuds, I truly loved them. Great audio. Nice balance with deep hardcore bass. Mids and treble are nicely done with detail and no harshness. Matter of fact, this is one of the very few listening devices that I didn't need to change my EQ settings (or at least very little tweeks in some instances...very little). Plenty of ear tips to choose from. Comfortable to wear. The fit and finish is superb. Super nice in every possible way. I was actually thinking about much I love listening to music with these earbuds when the right driver went out for no reason. I didn't everything to make sure it wasn't a connection issue. I also plugged in other headphones into my phone to see if it was a phone issue. It wasn't. Just these Sephia 3060 earbuds don't work. Huge shame. Massively disappointed. Because of the trouble and inconvenience of returning them, it's not really worth it for me. My printer isn't working right right either, so printing off a label would be a hassle. Driving all the way to a UPS store isn't convenient either...not for something this inexpensive. I got them for $13. I would be a steal if they stayed working for more than a day. Now it's just a waste of money. I had these on my shopping list in Amazon for a long time - but since I have several other earbuds and headphones, I never bought these. I was a little nervous getting them because they are cheap and a name I've never heard of of. Sometimes I'm lucky with random brands and other times I've gotten burned...I guess I'll chalk this up as a burn. I will contact the seller, but I'm not confident that anything will be resolved. :(

Excellent headphones, especially for the price! Durable and great for every-day, general use. Plenty of ear bud tip options for choosing the best fit and sound quality preference. Such good value, I'm likely to buy a second set just to have as a backup or to keep at work or packed for travel. A+++

I can’t believe these inexpensive earphones are SO GOOD. I have moderate midrange hearing loss in my left ear. My airpods are great fir most of my needs: the headphone accommodations use my audiogram to customize the audio output. However, they are terrible for listening to audiobooks or music as I fall asleep. Pods get lost in the bed! Wired headphones need a lightning adapter which means no battery charging for my phone.I wanted wired earphones to use with my Fire tablet instead, but the ones I had, including Apple wired earphones, weren’t loud enough for my bad ear. I tried several other brands.These are exactly what I wanted. Snug fit, passive noise canceling, LOUD, tangle-free cord, rich midrange and bass sound that helps make up for the ranges in my left ear hearing loss. I adjust the balance to send more sound to my bad ear and it works great for my nighttime listening needs.And did I mention these earphones are super affordable? I’m buying spare sets!

My 14 year old earbuds finally died (and I held a sad earbud funeral) and I had to move on and find new ones. I went looking around with my very limited budget and landed on three models to try, as I'm very picky:$9.50 Panasonic ErgoFit No Mic RP-HJE120-KB$12 Sony MDR-EX15LP$15 Sephia SP3060I wanted something with no microphone, inexpensive and at least "listenable" quality. While I have audiophile headphones for when I need clarity, I do have standards for even cheap earbuds.This is how these shook out for me, cheapest to most expensive:Panasonics:I actually rather like these. They basically "barely qualify" for me when it comes to sound quality, but the balance at least is to my taste (a bit bass-heavy, quieter treble) and it's mostly that it struggles a bit with clarity. It's fine for listening to youtube or casually listening to music if you aren't very picky. I don't really need an EQ for these. The cord is adequate length. I actually like the weirdly shaped earbuds, the oval makes it obnoxious to replace the buds but once you do, it sits very well in the ear and helps with noise isolation. Like, these aren't going to erase outside noise, but they work alright in dampening. They're also very comfortable.These have become my daily drivers for just doing stuff on the computer and gaming with friends.Sony...s:I hate these. They were the worst of the bunch for me. The audio quality was well below what I find tolerable, staticky and irritating with a very harsh balance. That kind of "edged" treble sound that hurts my ears, heavy sibiliance. I had to use a heavy EQ to make these listenable, and I still wasn't that impressed. The earbuds aren't even pure silicone for some reason, I shouldn't have even ordered these. I'm still deciding if I try to return them or if I take the L for the twelve dollars and just donate them. They weren't comfortable because whatever they mixed the silicone with triggers my allergies. I also kind of hated the cord because it's that stiff but weirdly pointy... type. I dunno, I just find it unappealing and it makes me feel bad. All in all, these really did not work for me.Sephias:I actually liked these the most, however... They interfere with my computer somehow. I have this longstanding issue with, I think, my motherboard, that certain sound equipment makes this constant crackling and it is Very Annoying. While I may eventually try to fix that problem, in the meantime, I can't use these for my computer, as not only do they have the crackling issue, but they... amplify it. Unfortunate. It kinda sucks because these were extremely comfortable and easily had the best sound quality of the lot. They are even what I would call "fairly decent" on that front. Very good clarity for their price. They are listenable for me without an EQ, but I think do benefit nicely from a slight curve. Probably the most "neutrally" balanced earbuds. The cord is way too short for me though. Also it coming with 6 friggin sets of earbuds sure is a thing. (They came in useful.) They're also a bit heavier than I'm used to between the aluminum and the fairly heavy cord, though they stay in place fine if I'm not swinging my head around wildly or something. Probably not going to wear them to a gym if I ever visit a gym in my lifetime.I've ended up just keeping these by my bed for things like mp3 player or steam deck or similar. Don't have to cart one set of earbuds around that way, I guess.So, overall, the cheapest panasonics kind of wiggle out to be the most utilitarian for me, and I really can't recommend the sony earbuds. If you don't have a weird crackly computer the sephias are good. I figure a review of three of the cheaper (with half-decent reviews) put together as a comparison might help someone, but earbuds and music is always going to be a bit subjective!
