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.

Update: Anker contacted me, completely unsolicited, and offered me a replacement pair. The new pair are different, but work great. Unbeatable customer service! Plugs into lightning cable instead of headphone jack. Probably said that somewhere, I just didn’t catch. So be aware of that. Speakers are good. Fits in ear well, blocks outside noise. My biggest gripes: microphone is on left ear instead of right. Microphone doesn’t work outside. Too noisy. Every call I’ve had complained about sound quality. BUT, it does work fine in a quiet room.

First off, to all who bought these. Please oh please realize these are digital headphones. They have a chip in them capable of receiving firmware updates. Please download the anker play app in the app store to update them. I was hesitant at first to get these since I've had mixed results buying anker but they won me back with their cables. I don't buy any less now. So I took a look at these based solely on the price. The others I looked at in that range didn't suit my tastes or needs. Oh boy am I glad I didn't go with any of the others though. First off, to the guy designing the package this thing comes in, save some trees for the rest of us. But seriously, aside from the over sized box which is presented like you've bought some $100 ear buds for just $20 I have no problems. Taking them out was simple enough and packed with such care that I felt like my purchase was not only justified but weird that I paid so little. But you're not here for the box. But seriously, buy it and you'll know. You wanna know how they sound? How they feel with these weird hook things? And most importantly are they comfortable? Yes, yes and absofrickloutly. The hooks which are made of rubber make these the most comfortable ear buds I've ever worn. I almost forget they're even there sometimes. I do recommend playing around with the sizes to especially what buds and hooks suit your ears best. Now onto a couple cons. The buds that do fit my ears are the smallest ones. Dear God are they hard to get on. All the others fit like a glove but the smallest took forever and I still had to adjust them. This other complaint is minor but valid. Be it by design or firmware troubles, the dack or media controls have a problem with the sound quality controller. Pressing the button to switch modes doesn't always register the first click. Sometimes you have to press it a couple times to get it to work. The light could also be bigger so we could more easily tell the difference in the hue cause white and light blue look very close. Easily worked around when I just cycle till I pass the navy blue. So after all is said and done, I love these things. They are comfortable, sound fantastic, have great noise cancelation and are enough to make me throw out my Amazon ones that are my backup and just buy another set of anker ones as my offical back ups. Thank you for the great ear buds anker. You've won me over again. Keep up the great work. Did I mention these things are really hard to get tangled? Maybe? I haven't noticed given the awsome hard shell case it comes with that has a pocket for extra buds and hooks :)

Good earphones but just randomly stopped working on me yesterday after 2 months of use. Won't connect to my iPhone, but the led light still comes on.

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。
