Anker SoundBuds Digital IE10 in-Ear Lightning Headphones with Sound Mode Adjustment - Earbuds with High Resolution Sound, MFi Certified, IPX5 Water Resistant and Built-in Mic for iPhone 7, iPad, iPod

I'm one of the few remaining people who still prefer wired headphones over wireless. While wireless headphones are great, I hate that I have to charge them and I also have had a poor experience on calls with wireless headphones. Not satisfied with Apple's free headphones as they fall out too easily and don't block out sound, I wanted to get Lightning headphones that don't cost a lot of money. After browsing Amazon, I came across Anker's digital IE10 earbuds and had to give them a try based on Anker's solid reputation as one of the best third-party accessory makers. Sound Since the Anker IE10 earbuds use the Lightning port they transmit sound over a digital connection versus analogue (also known as the 3.5mm audio jack which no longer exists in iPhones). This allows the iPhone to transfer music with power which provides a very clear sound signature. It enables the IE10 earbuds to offer 3 equalizer settings with a push of a button the side of the in-line remote (in one of the pics I took). There's a small LED light that shows which eq setting you're using: White is balanced sound, Light Blue is Clear Voice, and Navy Blue is Super Bass. Having those three settings in the in-line remote is crazy for headphones that cost only $20. Crazy in a good way since it enables users to listen to music the way they want. For people who love bass, you will love the Navy Blue settings because it is truly bass heavy. I'm a fan of the Light Blue setting most as it dials back the bass a bit, balances out the sound and brings vocals forward. I listen to a lot of top hits, country (can't get enough of Darius Rucker), and alternative these days. Overall each sound setting is unique in their own way and I think one of the three will satisfy almost everyone. Build and Value I can't believe these earbuds from Anker only cost $20. Anker includes a nice zipper case to protect them, as well as S, M, and L silicone ear tips, standard memory foam tips and S, M, and L ear flanges. It's important to include all of these accessories since getting the right fit is key to eliminating background noise and maximizing sound performance from the earbuds. The earbuds, in line remote, Lightning connector, and Y-Split (where the wires split into left and right) are all made of metal. This creates a great looking product, but one that can also withstand some abuse too. The wire doesn't transfer too much microphonics (where you hear noise if the cable bounces or touches things), although you might hear some if you drag your fingers across the wires. The remote is large enough to use without fiddling around with the controls and it's not so big that it feels heavy. Overall I don't know how Anker made such great earbuds for $20, but it did. If you're looking for great sound on a little budget, look no further and just get the IE10 earbuds. They're really freaking good. I hope my review and images helped your decision process.

Disappointed with these. Fit very nice. Built very nice. Then I plugged them in ... terrible. I should clarify that I want these primarily for calling. Yes, they sound pretty good for music, when you want your ears blown out and can sound pretty good in a phone call but ... this set had to be turned completely up. At that level they almost popped my ears. Turn it down one level, no difference. Turn it down 2 levels ... almost drops completely off and you will barely be able to hear a muffled sound coming through. Turn it back to max and everything jumps alive again and a painfully high volume. Absolutely no range of volume. You either can hear at maximum output or you can't hear anything, that's it. My phone is an iPhone 7 Plus. Tried them on an iPhone 6 Plus with the same results. Returning them immediately.

For $23.99, it is a good value for phone calls and podcasts. It simply works. The item comes with an unnecessarily large box and package. The ear hook is interesting but not very useful. The inline controller is heavy and large. The microphone is on the left channel which is a bit unconventional. The sound quality is .... you get what you paid for. The background noise is obvious. The bass is not very responsive and overwhelming. I don't use my iPhone for music anyways so I will give that a pass. Overall, I am satisfied with this product for what I need. Update 08/06/2017: There is a bug with this headphone. When you are using it to listen to music etc and it is interrupted by a incoming call, after you decline the call or return from the call to your misc, the headphone will jump to the loudest level regardless your volume setting. This sudden change of volume can be scary and hurts your ears. Update 11/16/2017: Taking another star off as the random volume issue when calling is getting annoying. I frequently have issue when I plug it in to make/take calls. Sometimes the volume of people from the other end is very low despite the phone is at full volume. Sometimes, people can't hear me. Occasionally, unplug and replug several times can fix it. But this is not how this thing should work. Update 11/20/17: Anker contact me saying the issue I experienced may due to the unit is faulty. Anker provided a refund since this item is currently out of order. I appreciate the gesture.

First and foremost, this review is gonna focus on the initial impressions of the fit and finish of the sound buds, I'm no audiophile by any means so disregard this review if that's the feedback you're looking for (pros and cons are all the way at the bottom of this so if that's what you want, just scroll down) So first impressions is great, the packaging was very well done and high quality, but then some disappointment, the quality of the build of the sound buds themselves was sub par when taking into account the company behind this product. Anker has made great high quality products that I've bought before, like an Anker AUX cable for example, which was braided and had fully metal end connector bases, but these sound buds were a bit disappointing. The body of the buds are a light weight (almost cheap feeling) plastic, great for a light earbud that stays put in your ear and feels great for extended use, but the cheap feeling of the buds as well as the cheap feeling and cheap looking cord was a turn off for me. would prefer the quality braiding that anker has used before in other products that they themselves make, but I also see why lightweight earbuds are great for everyday use and extended use (I service pools so I'm outside, walking and moving around for 8+ hours a day) the earbuds fit great and don't move around, and the extra ear hooks and buds of various sizes is a nice touch so A+ there, I will say this A GREAT TIP IF YOU'RE GONNA BUY THIS! figure out which ear hooks fit you best, and just use the memory foam buds, they feel great, and with foam instead of rubber/silicon (or whatever those things are made of) you won't experience sweaty/moist ear holes like me, especially if you work outside in the sun/move around a lot/ use these as workout earphones. Also a good tip is to squeeze the memory foam buds with your thumb, index and middle fingers before placing the ear buds in and letting the buds expand into your ear hole, I sometimes forget I have the earbuds on when I use this method, that's how comfortable they are, overall a great headset, I've used them for a couple of days so far, so I'll update this if anything happens that's worth mentioning. All in all these are at the very least, a perfect replacement for the pack in headphones that come with all iPhones, and great daily drivers if you workout a lot or spend a lot of time outdoors, ohh yeah! And they're water resistant so plus there too! Pros: • looks nice • very comfortable (I only use the memory foam buds) • good quality sound • EQ button on online controls is nice feature • customizable to fit all types of ears • water resistant • app updates the sound buds so any bugs can be ironed out Cons: • feel slightly cheap and flimsy • inline control is pretty big • an app has to be installed for updates • the lightning connector is pretty big

These are the most affordable lighting cable headphones available, and they don’t leak noise, that’s about all that is going for these, the sound quality was subpar, I had to have my music up to almost full for these to sound good. And to top it all of they broke only a few months after I bought them, and I didn’t even treat them badly, I used them to listen to music at work, now my phone says that they are unsupported. I love most of my Anker products and will continue buying from Anker, but I don’t recommend these earbuds.

Great earphones! The cord is slightly longer than a standard pair of Apple earpods, but they have a premium look and feel, even the box it comes in looks premium. The buds fit nicely in my ears (they come with the medium-sized hooks and cups already on), and the sound is nice and clear. It's not perfectionist-audiophile quality sound, even with the different EQ settings, but it is still really good, and the noise isolation is great too.

Okay, not really $200, but if I didn't know the price, I would guess somewhere between $80-100. Now, I know that many are not fans of the Apple EarPods, but I am. I really like the fit and feel of those earbuds, though not the best, sonically. These, though are really amazing, especially for $20. They're probably the most comfortable earbuds I've worn in the ear-canal-insert category. This is mainly where I prefer the Apple Earpods — that they sit in your ear concha, and hug around your antitragus, versus pushing against the walls of your ear canal, and sitting on top of your antitragus. Regardless, here are some great features: - 3 different sizes of ear canal inserts + foam inserts - 2 pairs of ear hook replacements - plug, mic, control, and buds are all metal-bodied - 3 EQ presets - works with all lightning jack iOS devices (Apple adaptor only works with headphone-jackless devices) The ear-hook is a nice feature, and very comfortable. I tried the buds without the ear-hook, but the length of the buds makes them drop out to easily. The metal construction only add about 0.9 grams to each bud over the EarPods (3.6g & 2.7g), which is almost unnoticeable. With the EQ, I prefer the "Balance" preset the most and will probably always leave it there. I may try "Clear Voice" when I have time to listen to some audio books and podcasts, but I generally don't prefer the sound of a vocal-boosted EQ even for spoken word. "Super bass" preset boosts the entire low-end, not just under 80Hz, so music sounds really muddy. The Apple EarPods will be my daily go-to for making calls and listening to music. The Anker SoundBuds IE10 will be for when I need a bit more external sound isolation and clarity, and long trips, like airports, car rides, and airplanes. I like them, and I'll keep them, though maybe in my computer bag.

Just had a chance to play with these earphones and I gotta say they are far inferior to the standard Apple earbuds. The pictures and descriptions made this look really good and Anker normally builds decent quality products but these earphones are a disaster. Also, the cheap thin wires that feel like they are going to break at any moment and the flat metallic sound makes these sound like cheap Chinese knockoffs. trash product. can’t believe it’s being sold for this much.

Appena acquistato il mio IPhone 7 mi sono messa subito alla ricerca di un auricolare che sostituisse quello originale in dotazione, che, come qualità audio niente da dire, purtroppo però non si adatta alla forma dei miei padiglioni auricolari, e, soprattutto quando li uso durante la corsa, mi escono spesso dalle orecchie. Cercavo quindi un valido sostituto soprattutto come qualità audio, ma anche un modello che aderisse bene alle mie orecchie. Con questo auricolare ho esaudito entrambe le cose, l'audio è decisamente buono, paragonabile a quello degli auricolari originali Apple, in più, essendo presente un equalizzatore sul telecomando, gestibile con una semplice pressione del dito, devo riconoscere che questo auricolare ha una marcia in più! Impostando l'equalizzatore sulla modalità "bassi" il suono avvolgente che ne scaturisce è veramente stupendo, perlomeno per me che preferisco i toni bassi a prescindere. Io sono una amante dei brani di Leonard Cohen, con questo auricolare sono semplicemente meravigliosi! Gli auricolari, per la conformazione che hanno, aderiscono perfettamente e anche correndo non si schiodano dalle orecchie. Comperato in offerta, ottima direi, e pertanto anche il rapporto qualità/prezzo è eccellente! Per finire, nulla da invidiare agli auricolari più blasonati.

Just amazing! The transition from normal acoustic mode to bass mode is just INSANE! The sound is sooo refined.❤️ The best part is that you get an app for this with which you can calibrate/tweak the sound settings of the earphones.

... et présentation soignée. Je recommande vivement. Le produit est telle que décrit et fonctionne très bien. On sent que le fournisseur est sérieux. Vous pouvez acheter les yeux fermés. Peut être plus cher que certain produit présenté mais au moins il fonctionne :)

Was für den Preis an Verarbeitungsqualität geliefert wird, ist sehr gut, keine Frage. Die Verarbeitung ist gut, das Kabel so gemacht, dass es wohl keine Probleme mit dem Verheddern geben kann. Die Fernbedienung ist ebenfalls erstklassig. Das Gehäuse ist aus Aluminium und so großzügig dimensioniert, dass die Tasten erstens recht groß ausfallen und dazu noch gut weit auseinander liegen. An der Seite befindet sich ein kleiner Taster, mit dem man die drei verschiedenen Klangcharaktere durchschalten kann: Neutral, Vocal und Bass. Und genau da sind wir schon beim Grund für "nur" drei Sterne. Wenn man schon einen eigenen Modus für den Bass anbietet, dann sollte das auch Bass sein. Und nicht nur eine leichte Absenkung von Mitten und Höhen. Denn so leid es mir tut - auch mit dem gewählten "Bass" Modus tut sich nicht viel. Man muss hier nur sehr vorsichtig sein, denn oftmals werden schlecht abdichtende Ohreinsätze mit dünnem Sound gleichgesetzt. Und wenn die Ohraufsätze nicht richtig abdichten, nützt der schönste Bass rein gar nichts. Aber hier ist das Bassfundament trotz passender Aufsätze leider sehr blass. Wenn jemand auf eine neutrale Wiedergabe Wert legt, sind die Anker SoundBuds Digital IE10 genau das Richtige. Aber wer Wert auf gepflegten Tiefbass legt, wird hier wohl nicht glücklich werden. ________________________________________________________________________________ Nachtrag am 03. Juli 2017 Wie ich schon geschrieben hatte, bin ich von der Bassleistung nicht unbedingt begeistert. Aber - was den Kundenservice von Anker angeht, bin ich restlos begeistert und überzeugt. Nachdem ich meine ursprüngliche 3 Sterne Bewertung abgegeben hatte, wurde ich vom Kundendienst von Anker kontaktiert. In einer Email wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass es Anker leid tue, dass ich nicht zufrieden sei und mir wurde eine sofortige Erledigung und Vergütung angeboten. Mir ist schon klar, dass ich das Teil innerhalb von 30 Tagen zurückschicken kann. Aber dass sich - über's Wochenende! - der Verkäufer sofort meldet, ist nicht nur selten, sondern ausgesprochen unüblich. Von daher ein ganz, ganz großes "Fetter Respect!" an Anker und den Mitarbeiter des Kundendienstes, der mich kontaktiert hat. Und da für mich die Qualität des Kundendienstes - das Interesse an der Zufriedenheit der Kunden - absolut zum "Gesamtpaket" gehört, habe ich meine Rezension jetzt auf 5 Sterne erhöht. Wenn sich eine Firma derart schnell und freundlich (!) um die Interessen ihrer Kunden bemüht, dann hat sie schon alleine dafür 5 Sterne verdient. Von daher kann ich jedem Interessenten sagen, dass er oder sie nie einen Fehler machen wird, wenn man bei Anker einkauft. Noch mal - mein großes Kompliment und Dankeschön für diesen vorbildlichen Service! Robert Amper, München

数年前からBT Earphone使ってますが、電池切れ用として購入しました。（Iphone7＋、Jaybird X2） 使っていたLightning Earphoneはすごくこもった音をしてましたが、これは結構きれいな音が出ます。 サウンドモードの切り替えも可能です。 長所 コスパーがいい、鮮明な音がでる（Balance mode）、耳のフィット感がいい 短所 White Noise発生 White Noiseは外では気になるほどではありませんが、静かな場所だと少し気になります。
