Betron ELR50 Wired Earphones with Mic and Volume Control, 3.5mm Jack, Gold | Deep Bass Sound, Noise Isolation, Tangle-Free Cable, Aluminium Housing, S/M/L Ear Buds

Due to my work I have unfortunately grown to be technically experienced and very picky when it comes to my audio. All I wanted was a cheap pair of ear plugs to keep the world out of my head whilst I do my daily commute (there is no way I am leaving the house with £400+ worth of gear with my usual pair) so I wasn't expecting much. They arrived in a very nice box with a clip, extra sizes of rubber bits, and a neat little pocket carry pouch. They look as though they were 4 times the price of what I paid for them, very pleased initially. 5/5. In terms of the sound, they are a little bassy compared to other pairs on the market, and the highs are a bit tinny. Anything below 100Hz and above 10KHz can be tweaked if you use an equalizer of some sort and that did make a huge difference. I have been told by people I speak to over VOIP and cellular that the microphone sucks, and I should get a better one :(. For the price however, 4/5. I don't think the folks who are complaining realise that anything else priced as well as these sound the same if not worse! I had to use the smaller size of rubber in-ear bits and they are quite comfortable. I am able to wear them for an hour or two without realising they're there. Only issue is that they create a vacuum in the ear canal that can be a bit uncomfortable when removing them and they do isolate you from outside sound. Besides that, no issues 4/5. They're strong, durable and look like they won't break as easily as other brands such as Philips and Senheiser. 5/5 for that! So overall in terms of value for money and overall quality these are probably the best pair you can buy in the £25 and under market. I am very happy and hope they last! I'll give these a 5.

I had not bothered reviewing anything before but feel compelled to make an exception with these ELR50’s. I bought them on a whim and have now bought 5 more sets as Christmas presents. I got them for £10 and been blown away with just how good they are, and just how much can be got out of them. Compared to my Chord Hugo/Grado RS1 and Shure 846 reference (I know, what am I even thinking discussing about £3,000 of world class headphone equipment in this review?, but bare with me...) the ELR50’s are a bit boomy, lack detail and have no high frequency to speak of. They were better than I expected, and a steal at £10, but not audiophile quality. The surprising thing for me, however, was just how much I enjoyed listening to them. The bass was lumpy but tuneful with a really full and natural bottom end. I found myself simply wanting to listen to them over my others, despite their limitations. With that in mind, I wondered just how good I could get them to sound, even straight out of the iPhone. I took the plunge and downloaded an EQ app, (it’s called SuperLoud, I think, but there are others available) and simply dialed in a response that got closest to the 846’s. (for anyone that's interested, I have ended up with a relatively straight EQ curve angling from a reduction in the low frequencies to an increase in the high ones. It clears out the boom in the bass but the musicality remains and the midrange detail is effortless to listen to). What astounded me was just how close I could get. I’m maybe 95% of the way to the brilliant (£900!!!) in ear headphones. They maybe don’t sparkle in the same way as the 846's but the ELR50’s have a quality like a really good electrostatic speaker. I find myself “falling” into a lively, balanced, detailed, and above all, musical experience. They sound like the fabulously neutral Etymotic ER4XR's (a snip at £300) but with the Shure 846's bottom end. No, really, they are that good!! That old audiophile cliche has happened to me for the first time. I’ve gone through my music collection as if hearing it anew. All genres, any volume, it all sounds wonderful. There is an improvement when I use the Chord Hugo to power them (I’d certainly hope so!!!) but only in giving a little taughtness and grip, not in the enjoyment of the overall sound that I get direct from my iPhone. I simply cannot believe it. You don’t have to either but why on earth would I make statements this preposterous up?! :) Straight out of the box these ELR50's are the best audio value you can get but I can only suggest that people give the EQing a go and trust their own ears. I have gone and snapped up 5 more sets and plan on giving the ELR50/EQ setup as presents to anyone I think will value a beautiful musical experience. This might appear just too biased to be anything but Betron marketing but there are another 2,000 people who have given this five stars, too. They might not be as obsessive about sound quality as I am :) , but they just know what they like. I am really happy to be grouped in with their reviews on this exceptional product.

Choose these after losing a pair of v-moda earphones that are now discontinued. I thought I'd just get a cheap pair of earphones to see me through until I sorted out a proper replacement. However, these are unbelievable considering the price and I'll stick with these until they break (more likely I'll lose them knowing me). Build quality is decent - not top end but certainly not budget. The wires are a little skinny for my liking but surpringly don't get tangled too badly. The sound quality is what makes these stand out to me, comparable to earphones 5 times the price I would say. Comes with the standard 3 sets if rubber tips and also 1 foam set. I managed to get a good fit and they are sufficient light that they stay in my ears no trouble. I've had them a few weeks and I'm very tempted to buy another pair for when these one give up / disappear. UPDATE April 2019: I'm now on my third pair of these. The last two pair are different from the first pair - The wire is longer and has a different coating. The Sound quality straight out of the box is still fantastic for the price. Unfortunately the latest 2 pairs have both developed the same problem where the left earbud has gone very quiet. I will buy one more pair, but if they develop the same problem I will start looking elsewhere.

Really pleased with this product, it comes in high quality packaging with a magnetic clip which has a really nice feel as the magnet is not too strong or too weak. The earphones are very well presented along with the carry case which are both neatly packed inside the spongey foam packaging. They come with spear ear buds that are inside the case which are really useful and have a really nice feel inside the ear. The case also has a nice feel to it and a very nice clip which is fun to use and looks very modern. The earphones have a very high quality wire which goes great with the dark accents on the mic and volume buttons. The earphones themselves are a good size as they don't stick out of the ear too much and have a nice tight fit in the ear. They are discrete as they are not make to be very flashy, but they also look very nice as well if you do wish to show them off. They have a really good quality sound with amazing bass which I love about these earphones the most. However The volume rockers aren't as clicky as the pause/mute button which I think would be the only thing I would change about these earphones, but that is only a minor thing that I would change, other than that I wouldn't change anything about these and I think they are a great product. Overall I would recommend these as they are the best quality for money I have ever bought and I will definitely be buying some of these in the future for friends and family.

I've known about Betron for a while and have bought a fair few things from them in the past. When a friend was asking about a pair of headphones from Betron I told him that they're generally good value for money with decent sound quality and true to form Betron didn't disappoint! However with these earphones the story changes a bit. It should be noted that they come in a nice magnetic closed box that contains a carry pouch, multiple sizes of ear cushion and a clip to attach the earphones to clothes - so you get a lot in the box. The earphones seem to be built well with the main housing for the drivers made from metal. But now the not so good part... While all these extras are great, sound and mic quality are probably the most important parts of this product and on both counts these earphones were disappointing. When j listened to music the audio lacked depth and I had to turn up the volume really high to start to hear the bass coming through. The mic as well is overly sensitive to vibrations and rattles through the wire (probably why they come with a clip). It means when talking to people you have to overly cautious of whether the wire is moving or not. Summed up Betron are normally good but I think they missed the mark on this one..

Incredible design and colour 👍 amazing sound quality and people are unable to hear your music. I like to use the clip that comes with to stable them onto my clothes which really helps with tangling. Comes with replacements for lost ear buds.

I don't know what it is, but these earphones make me come back again and again. I still have the other 2 pairs that I bought, so let me tell you why I'm on my 3rd. The first pair lasted me a while and the first thing that I really noticed was the cable was very sturdy and did not catch onto clothes' fabric like some other cheap(er) or even more premium brands. I used it for a good few months to a year before I dropped one of the earphones in water while I was doing the washing up. Not ideal, but I changed the earbuds with some of the spares the earphones came with and kept using them. After a while, I started noticing a poor quality in sound in the left one which was previously dropped in the water. That's when I decided to purchase my 2nd pair. The 2nd pair arrived and I was once again hooked to the deep bass and crisp sound. 2 weeks into my purchase and a freak accident happens: I used to keep my earphones on the passenger seat of my car and one time, after arriving at work I noticed something hanging out of the passenger door: the earphones were safe inside the car while the jack plug had been dragged on the road and nearly smooth on one side. A normal person would have rightly binned the 2nd pair, however I plugged it into my phone (bad idea) and they still worked. I continued to still use them for a while till they kept coming off and disconnecting from my phone and laptop. I finally decided to invest in my 3rd pair whilst still keeping the other 2 as souvenirs/reminders. This is a great pair of earphones and after years of looking for the perfect product, I think I might have finally found it.

I got a pair of these Betron ELR50 earphones a while ago and was very impressed with the build, looks and sound quality. Upon getting my new jack-less iPhone, I bought a snazzy lightning dongle, to keep using them, and all was good. Recently, the right ear connection started to fail so, being quite inexpensive, I bought another pair, and was pleased to see they'd changed the cord, as one issue with the previous pair was that the cord stayed wavy and kept brushing against my face annoyingly, which the new ones don't do. However, I did notice that the inline controls on the earphones were behaving erratically with the dongle, so I contacted Betron to tell them of this and ask about returning them for a replacement. They replied straight away, on a Saturday, very apologetic and promising to send me out a new pair, and that I didn't even need to return the faulty ones, which was very much appreciated. I received the new pair yesterday but unfortunately they have the same issue, so it must be a change that's been made with how the inline controller works, as various other sets of earphones I've tried with this dongle work fine, as did my old pair of Betrons. Aside from this, if you're not using that dongle, then I would completely recommend these earphones as they sound great with really good bass (so good in fact, that I don't really use the bass-boost button on the dongle, otherwise my eyeballs vibrate too much!). Betron seem to be a great company with excellent customer service, eager to resolve any problem as soon as poss, so I am very grateful to them for that.

These headphones have been excellent so far. I wanted earbuds that are bass-heavy, and these certainly provide this at a very reasonable price, and still deliver crisp treble and quite reasonable mid-range.

These headphones are remarkably well built. Very sturdy feeling and the cable does not tangle which is very important to me. Sound quality is pretty good better than a Sony set. These are replacing they are a bit biased on the treble side but still nice sounding. Also, the NE or fit is very good. I have small ear canals and have no problem with the staying in place unlike the last pair I had. Very happy with the purchase

Utilisation pour sortie sportive, cyclisme, course à pied et loisir bien sur. Une bonne écoute avec de bonne basse et une sensation d'être "dans sa bulle" tant l'isolation aux bruits extérieur est efficace. Que du bon et vraiment pas cher vu le rendu !!!

I bought this for my fire. I like to watch videos on it but didn’t want to disturb my husband who watches TV in the living room sometimes. I had order another set of earphones previously on Amazon where the packaging was filthy. I did not bother even opening it up, threw it away. These Betron headphones arrived and the earphones and presentation Box is beautiful!! Also included was a little pouch with different size ear buds. The sound is great! This is something you could give as a gift to someone!!!

These devices serve my purpose completely. I can’t speak to the quality of the sound balance from ear to ear since I can only hear out of My left ear. The sound I do hear is clear and good quality. I assume if and when the one earbud wears out., I can use the other earbud in the same ear. I am very happy with my Betron purchase. Thank you. The accessories that came with them are very useful too.
