Ludos Clamor Wired Earbuds in-Ear Headphones, 5 Years Warranty, Earphones with Microphone, Noise Isolating Ear Buds for School, Kids, Women, Small Ear

While I do have wireless earbuds, I usually only use them for exercising just because always worrying about a charge is a task and I tend to overlook that. That said, I just wanted something that was wired that I could use at a moment's notice and have great sound with a very good price. These 100% do the trick. I'm not some kind of cork-sniffing obsessive compulsive audiophile, but I like to have great sound with a good balance of lows, highs, and mids when I'm using the audio player on my phone without having to EQ anything drastic. With these, I can run the EQ flat and still get reliably superior sound. If the audio is not good, it's more than likely coming from the sound file and not these (garbage in, garbage out). These earbuds are extremely sturdy and well built, and the wiring is a bit more heavy duty than most wiring that you'd see on any other earbuds. The controls work well and I have had zero issues or complaints. I really like the mesh bag and tin (like an Altoids can) that they came in. I keep them in this, as I tend to baby the stuff that I have to keep up their lifespans, so this is very handy. I did change out the cushion earbuds themselves and put on triple flange ones that I had ordered for another pair a while back for other (now deceased) ear buds. I just favor those. I'm leaving this review as my son came to me and said he needs new wired earbuds as he destroyed his last (crappy) pair. If he ruins these, there are not other earbuds on earth that might be suitable for him. If that's not enough of an endorsement that I'm buying a second pair with the success of my first, then I don't know what would be. UPDATE (MAY 12, 2021) I've bought 4 sets of these so far. The first pair for myself well over a year ago that I use every single day for meetings (yay, telework!) and education stuff and leisure phone time. They get plugged in and unplugged multiple times a day. They are still 100% good (I baby them, clean them, and keep them in the tin). My son has ruined 2 pairs (he ruins EVERYTHING, this is no surprise). My daughter has a pair one month old and uses them every day. She loves them!! UPDATE (JULY 29, 2022) I still have mine, and they still work as good as the day that I bough them. My kids have gone through theirs, as well as a few other pairs, but they don't take care of them, so........ The replacement ear buds that I use are here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R8RMY2C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I still use them pretty much every day while at work for meetings and listening to streaming music and taking classes (and communicating through various webinar/teleworking platforms). Zero issues. I do take the ear buds pieces off daily to clean them under water and wipe down the wired earbuds. I also wrap them up and put them back in the little case the same way I found them. My son ended up getting Bluetooth earbuds, which suits him as there is less to destroy overall. My things last a VERY long time, due to how I treat them. If you are careless or a big slob, then it won't matter what you buy. Definitely got my money out of these!

I purchased these earbuds primarily for use with my laptop, and they have worked very well. The sound quality is clear, voices are easy to hear during video calls, and music sounds great. They fit comfortably in my ears and can be worn for extended periods without discomfort. I also appreciate that they are wired, so I don’t have to worry about charging them or dealing with Bluetooth connection issues. The cord feels durable, and the earbuds provide good value for the price. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable wired earbuds.

Update March 28 2023: the foam eartips have apparently sucked up my earwax, deformed, and are now rock hard. The foam started off super squishy and comfy and now its just a mess. They need to find another foam material to use that wont deform or harden from absorbing ear wax. Reduced by 1 star for this. So I have been going through earbuds like crazy. I mean a lot of them. USUALLY when I am not trying out new buds, I will opt for the cheap sony earbuds knowing that I can have them in while sleeping and not hurt my left ear (laying my head on a pillow with buds in). Opening the box, small, compact, nothing crazy. Had a had written note inside thanking me for supporting a "small business" which okay. Glad I could help? lmao. Anyway. I bought the black with orange accents. Feeling the cable, I like the rubberized coating. It feels good in your hands. I would assume if you were someone into sports, this rubber coating will be great considering if you get it sweaty you will probably still have grip thanks to it being rubber and not cloth. I wont be testing that because I am not capable (handicapped). Anyway. The sound quality isn't BAD per say, but its obviously not perfect neither. When I sleep I use Binaural/Isochronic frequencies. Which generally means one frequency in one ear and another frequency in the other for Binaural, and both frequencies in both ears for Isochronic. SO FAR, I have been focused mainly on Isochronic lately. AT LOW VOLUMES like when studying, the headphones don't like it. The tones used at 70hz and 72hz which gives you a 2hz Isochronic effect. Or I will do 63hz and 70hz for 7hz Iso which is great for imagination and visualization. Anyway, at low volumes these headphones don't like having pure frequencies playing. You can hear something inside clapping like how a speaker cone will flap. Otherwise for music/tv/anime you don't have any issues at any volume. Now I just so happened to buy the Logitech G333 at the same time. Similar pricing. I will say you can tell the difference in sound profile. The G333 has more bass as it has a dual driver design. So the low end sounds WAY better in everything compared to these. However, the LUDOS here have way better upper end in terms of treble. So its sharper and thus slightly more clear sounding. The LUDOS have this weird special effect. Generally for typical "over the ear" headphones, you would have closed back and open back. Open back give you more special sound while closed back generally feel more enclosed making the sound feel closer to you. Most people don't care about this but figured I would mention it. The LUDOS somehow make you feel like it has special sound even though they are ear buds, but at the same time they are feel close. So you get this weird close but far sound from them. Its not bad, its just, unique. This is generally personal preference anyway. I don't mind it, some "audio snob" might care. Granted I don't think audio snobs are buying cheap headphones! LOL. So far, I am happy with these. I ESPECIALLY love the colored foamy tips they come with. I haven't even tried to crack open the extra pack of tips because I just LOVE how comfy the foamy tips are. I personally think all brand should go with the foam like tips as LUDOS have. Honestly the BEST feature in my opinion.... Again I am happy with these, mainly because I can wear them when I sleep. Which is the main reason for my buying earbuds in the first place. When I am up and about, i generally where my snobby Sony MDR-Z7M2 cans which are just, next level..... Sadly the G333 cannot be worn when sleeping, they hurt my ears.... So LUDOS won my nighttime. NOW the question is, how long do they last. My sony earbuds generally last 6 months which isn't great. Granted sleeping with headphones is considered "abuse" at least in my mind. My last pair of earbuds were JVC memory foam earbuds which sadly only lasted from DEC 2022 when I bought them until January 2023 when I got these LUDOS to replace them. So yeah the JVC couldn't handle the stress of my nighttime routine (mainly the drivers failing due to pure frequency being played all night long and not actual content like music/etc). I hope LUDOS get some frequency reading gear for output, so they can test their earbuds and find the frequency curve. Everything used to make a headphone will effect its sound in some way. Sometimes minor, sometimes major. The housing material (plastic, metal, composite, etc) to the shape of said housing and even the shape inside where the sound bounces around before it gets to your ear, to the driver being used, the cable thickness and length, can all effect the sound. Going off my own ears and knowing what neutral headphones should sound like, these are definitely not a flat response. However, I will mention again the upper end, the treble range, sounds extremely good. Very clear and sharp. For those that prefer that kind of sound profile. If you want more bass and less top end, the Logitech G333 would be a better alternative (1:1 comparisons without using an equalizer, obviously you could in theory use an equalizer to add bass to the LUDOS and make them sound more full on the bottom end). OTHERWISE, these have been great SO FAR for me.

The reviews I read really nailed this one. These earbuds are super nice quality--the sound is excellent. I've only had them a day, but they seem well-made and durable. For twenty bucks these would be difficult to surpass.

They sound great and are comfortable when I use them for long periods.

I am writing this product review based solely on my observations and use interactions with the LUDOS Clamor Earbuds - I haven't been offered, given, or promised anything in return from anyone for my review. I purchased the earbuds for a total price of $12.44 on August 12, 2021, and they arrived August 21st, the same day I began using them. PRODUCT USE SPECIFICATIONS: - Samsung Galaxy S10+ MEMORY FOAM TIPS: What first attracted to me to these buds were the memory foam tips, which I hoped would finally provide me with a stable earbud - I don't use these for any activities which require an abundance of movement and sweating, mostly listening to music while on flights, or while on toilets, or while on toilets while on flights. - The foam tip requires such a high amount of force to situate itself within the ear canal well enough so I'm confident it will not fall out, that I fear I'll begin creating fancy earwax diamond-like minerals from the intense energy being produced, however once in, they do fit rather decently for sedentary use - sadly, to date I have produced no earwax diamonds. - I tried swapping the foam tips out for the provided rubber tip replacements to see how they might compare, but none of the four sizes would allow the earbud to fit comfortably enough in my ears. - *UPDATE 10/23/2021* I should mention that the replacement rubber tips are quite difficult to put on the earbuds, but turning the rubber tip inside-out makes it much easier. I added a short video showing how I put the rubber tips on. SOUND QUALITY: For reference purposes, I mostly listen to metal, rap/hip-hop, & jazz. - Although the base level of the buds out-of-the-box seemed poor, I navigated to my phone's equalizer controls and after some tweaking, I was able to customize/improve the sound based on the genre I was listening to. At such a low cost, and after adjusting the equalizer, the sound quality with the memory foam tips was pretty good to me. - *UPDATE 10/23/2021* I tested the microphone on the replacement earbuds, making an audio recording of just my voice outdoors using my phone, and although I could hear everything fine during playback, there is a noticeable muffling of the sound when compared to a recording I also made without the headphones plugged in. I didn't buy these for the microphone, so it doesn't matter to me, but I thought I should add this to the review nonetheless. DURABILITY: I first began experiencing trouble with the earbuds beginning of October 2021, approximately 7 weeks after first use - While listening to music, it will randomly prompt the virtual assistant on my phone (Bixby) to popup, waiting for an audio command from me as it simultaneously pauses the music. To bypass this, I simply hit play again on the music player and all goes back to normal, until it prompts again, and again.... - As of October 14, 2021, the right earbud no longer produces sound, unless I happen to move or nudge the headphone cable, when sometimes the sound reappears momentarily before I hear a crackling sound in the bud as the sound stops again. I try my best to remove the buds only using the black tip near the male end, however I am humble enough to admit there have been times I removed it using part of the yellow cable, which probably doesn't help maintain the integrity of the wires within. *ADDED 10/23/2021* CUSTOMER SERVICE: I have had only one interaction with the Ludos customer service team - they accepted that the product I purchased was faulty, they replaced it with a new pair at no additional costs to me, both of which were appreciated. - Inside each earbud case is a handwritten note that thanks the buyer and reminds to complete a review online, I like that personal touch. CONCLUSION: For the price, the sound quality was great. I would expect to receive more than two months of use though, even when considering the low cost. ----UPDATES---- *10/16/2021* I requested support through Amazon and after troubleshooting, they directed me to open a warranty claim with Ludos. I have messaged them, and I will update this review as I receive updates myself. **10/16/2021** Ludos contacted me within a few hours - they determined the earbuds were faulty and agreed to send me a replacement pair. They didn't ask me to return the defective buds, but I was prepared to do so, if asked. ***10/22/2021*** I received the new earbuds today and have delicately started using them. - The sound quality is just as good as the original pair, after adjusting the equalizer.

EDIT 2 [OCT. 8, 2020] After getting in contact with customer service, they were very amicable and understanding, offering to send a replacement for the defective product. The replacement pair was back on par with the standard I came to expect from Ludos, and works properly! I can go back to recommending them in good faith knowing that customer service is reasonable when it comes to these kinds of issues. ___________________________ EDIT: So this brand had pretty much become my go to. Bought the headphones a couple times, and they were great! Lasted a decent time, good sound, the whole shebang. However, my most recent order was a total dud. The volume controls didn't work properly as they should. The sound would sometimes fade out in one ear if you moved the cord a certain way. Just a big let down. Which sucks, because I really liked this brand. Can't really keep recommending them with a glowing review if they send out duds, though. EDIT 2: It's even worse than I thought. Just tried to take a class with these bad boys...the mic isn't even functional. I'm gonna have to drop it another star. I sincerely hope this isn't indicative of a drop in quality. I really used to see this as a reliable brand...but a pair of headphones with this many problems on day one? I'm just...so disappointed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are definitely a solid pair of earbuds! It's always a struggle finding a good pair based on reviews, and the old brand that I used to buy from has steadily declined in quality. However, these are absolutely amazing! Nice clear sound, no tinny sound--they get nice and loud and even do a good job at noise cancellation. I definitely haven't found anything that can best these at this price. Nice to have found a new go to.

This is the 2nd round with these headphones and I love it (not really) when people have super expensive ear pods in that have TERRIBLE audio quality and these just deliver. Very happy with these

👍

Gran sonido, buenos materiales. Los amo.

Good sound, not uncomfortable in the ears. Bought them when they are on sale at a super low price, excellent deal.

Je suis impressionné par la qualité globale de ces écouteurs filaires. La rendu sonore est clairement sans faille pour les mélomanes qui ne s'attarderont pas sur des détails trop techniques. Nous avons ici des écouteurs particulièrement agréables à porter puisqu'on ne ressent aucune gêne grace à la texture mémoire de forme de ceux-ci. On a beau avoir le meilleur son qui soit, le confort est un critère aussi décisif que le premier. Autre point positif, c'est la possibilité de régler le volume sonore depuis la télécommande intégrée, un atout à souligner qui est plutôt rare dans cette gamme de prix. La qualité de fabrication n'est pas en reste. La forme des écouteurs est plutôt réussie. Le fil, souple, résistant et esthétique, est conçu en caoutchouc à l'aspect tissu tressé. Enfin, bien que ce ne soit pas indispensable, les écouteurs sont accompagnés de 3 paires de coussinets supplémentaires qui permettront de s'adapter à toutes les oreilles. Livrés dans une jolie petite boîte métallique, vous pourrez aussi en assurer le stockage dans un petit sachet souple fourni à la couleur des écouteurs. Vous l'aurez deviné, vous ne regretterez pas votre achat en choisissant ces écouteurs LUDOS Clamor.

Al principio dudé bastante, no sabía si pedirlos, pero la verdad que me ha resultado una muy buena compra y desde que los recibí estoy muy encantada. -Las almohadillas viscoelásticas que vienen por defecto son MUY MUY CÓMODAS, se adaptan muy bien, no molestan para nada, y puedes estar horas porque al menos en mi caso, no me duelen los oídos. -El cable parece muy resistente y lo mejor de todo es que no se enreda para nada, yo los suelo enrollar pero nunca he tenido problemas de que se me hayan hecho nudos como con otros auriculares con la consiguiente perdida de tiempo. -El ajuste de volumen es muy cómodo sobre todo cuando estás por la calle, ya que puedes pasar de canción con doble pulsación, o volver a escuchar la anterior, pausar y bajar y subir volumen. Me parece genial! -Para mi la calidad de sonido es muy buena, (a pesar de ser una persona exigente jaja) además de que como las almohadillas se adaptan tan bien, se produce como una cancelación de ruido muy buena también haciendo que no te distraigas con lo de fuera, sino que te centres en lo que estés escuchando en ese momento. -Vino muy bien envuelto y la iniciativa de una cajita metálica (para evitar usar plásticos) con su bolsa de tela para poder transportarlo me parece muy acertada. Además dentro vienen unos recambios de almohadillas de silicona con diferente tamaño en función de la necesidad. -Sin duda recomiendo su compra :D y si tuviera que volver a comprarlos ya sea para mi o para regalo, lo haría encantada!!
