Vibes 202 HiFi Wired Earbuds, IEM in-Ear Monitor Headphones

I’ve been an earbud guy for many, many years. Over time I’ve transitioned from Jabra, to JBL, to Bose, to AirPods Pro, and eventually landed with Beats. I’m not giving up my Beats, but I needed a solid pair of wired earbuds for a specific task. After looking at several options across different brands and price points, I decided to give the Vibes 202 a try. I’ve never worn this style of in-ear monitor before, but the claims of deep bass definitely caught my attention. Once the package arrived, I was immediately impressed with the presentation. The solid box wrapped in plastic was a great start. After peeling off the plastic and opening the box, I was again impressed with how the carrying case and earbuds were displayed. Everything was set neatly in foam and well protected from any movement inside the box. I grabbed the earbuds and tried them on right away, even before using them for their intended purpose. Slipping them into my ears, I was surprised by how comfortable they were considering how tightly they fit. The over-ear wire design is a great touch as well, since it keeps the cable weight from pulling the earbuds out of your ears. Lastly, I have to say these are some of the best-sounding headphones I’ve ever used. The Vibes 202 perform exactly as advertised. The sound is loud and aggressive, with deep bass that really hits. With many expensive wireless earbuds, even at max volume, the sound can still feel underwhelming. That is not the case here. The Vibes 202 deliver without disappointment. In fact, I would strongly recommend listening at around 80% volume, because pushing them to max could easily lead to hearing fatigue or loss. At this price point, the Vibes 202 are a clear winner if you’re in the market for wired earbuds. The combination of clear sound and deep bass makes them an excellent value.

I bought these for the gym to use with my digital audio player. They're extremely comfortable and sound great. The cord is plenty long enough for me to work out in comfort without worrying about pulling it out of the player. The included case and additional ear pieces are a nice inclusion. So far, they seem durable. I have had zero issues with them. Easily worth what I paid. As far as sound, I feel like I hear notes and nuances in my music like never before. While they're not noise cancelling per se, they fit so well they even drown out the loud music they pump in my gym.

I picked these earbuds up to connect to my Sena 20S Bluetooth motorcycle helmet headset. The helmet speakers that came with the Sena were good, but at highway speeds, I had to run the volume too high and was concerned about hearing loss. These are perfect! I have large ear canals and the largest inserts work very well, sealing nice and tight, which is not always the case with this type of ear-bud. There are lots of options included so they should meet anyone's requirements for fit. I probably could have used the next size down, but want that very tight seal to shut out wind and road noise. Note that a key thing that led me to purchase these is that they lay flat in the ear with no 'pokey bits' sticking out that could hit the inside of the helmet. I also like that they route over the top of the ear. The weight of the cord doesn't dislodge them from my ears inside the helmet, which is a common problem with some ear-buds. This means that they are very comfortable to wear over long periods of time. If I have any complaint, it would be that there's no option for a shorter cord. The cord that comes with the buds is nice and long for normal use by a tall person, but sitting on the bike at speed it can tend to be way too long. I don't fault the manufacturer for this - most people would probably want it longer than I need. However, offering multiple lengths (since they are detachable from the buds), would be nice and provide some customization per user. The sound quality is very good with nicely defined highs and lows without sounding boomy. I would say that I tend to prefer sound that's closer to flat than having exaggerated lows. The highs are nice and crisp and the lows are smooth and comfortable reproducing music and audiobooks nicely and with excellent fidelity. These ear-buds fit the bill nicely and are exactly what I was looking for. If you are not looking for a high-end price on a high-end true noise canceling set, I consider this to be an excellent product for the price!

I'm a professional videographer and sound engineer. I bought these to have a lower cost backup alongside my much more expensive Shure SE215 set. They use the same connector, so I can swap earphones and cables as needed in case something gets lost or damaged. Great build quality! I wasn't sure the twisted cable would be comfortable to handle, but it's extremely flexible and coils nearly. Sound quality is very acceptable. My only complaint is that highs are very noticeably reduced compared to all of my professional headphones. The very first thought in my head when I put them in was "these sound very dark." They're advertised as having strong bass, so I suppose I got what I ordered, it was just surprising how they went about doing that. The mids and highs that are there seem quite flat and accurate, and the bass boost sounds like a peak around 50hz or so. The case is good, comes with a carabinier and it's nice and rigid. It might just be a nicer case than what the Shures come with. Overall they seem to be a great value for the price. Fit and finish are on par with a professional set 3x the price, with my only complaint being the pretty extreme bass boost. For my uses, this is totally acceptable and worth the price.

Really good sound quality and I really enjoyed the quality of the cord and length. The red color is also really nice.

I was very amazed by these headphones. I got them for my on-stage performing, and they have worked amazingly. They feel great and fit really nicely. They have high-quality sound and noise isolation. The cord is on the longer side, which for me worked really well, but just be aware.

This is my 1st pair of in-ear wired headphones less than $50, and while I don?t usually write reviews, I just had to share how much I love the Vibes 202. These earbuds are seriously a game-changer, especially with their amazing sound quality and stylish design. Killer Sound with a Premium Feel The Vibes 202 come with a detachable silver-plated audio cable?a cool feature that you usually only find in really high-end gear. I tried this cable with my Shure SE425 IEMs, and wow, it actually sounded clearer and punchier than the original cable. The sound was crisp, with no annoying "white noise" when the music is off. You still get that deep bass and rich mids, but the highs are even sharper, making the whole experience more balanced and spacious. I have tried these earbuds on most devices available with 3.5mm plug like CD player, laptop PC, Xbox gamer, I was blown away that these earbuds, which are under $50, sound just as good as some of the $200 pairs out there! Perfect for Any Place and Time I?ve been using these everywhere?whether I?m at work, hitting the gym, or just doing some yard work. They?re perfect for music, podcasts, and audiobooks. They?re also great on flights; way better than those cheap airline earbuds, plus they block out noise really well, making movies and music super immersive. And the other important? No messing around with Bluetooth or worrying about charging them. Cool Design and Super Comfy The Vibes 202 come in a bunch of cool colors, and the semi-transparent design is pretty sleek. I?m thinking about grabbing the light blue ones next. The new case is also a nice touch?it?s stylish and feels durable. The cable doesn?t tangle easily, and the ear hooks fit perfectly, staying put even during a workout. They?re so lightweight, I sometimes forget I?m even wearing them. If you?re looking for great wired earbuds that deliver on quality without breaking the bank, you gotta check out the Vibes 202. You?ll love them!

Amazing sound. Very comfortable and external noise cancellation is great.

Very good for the money, I was surprised by their loudness and clarity in a positive way. Used in a live band IEM setting, I bought these as a backup and they’re absolutely fine for a guitar heavy mix.

Super fast delivery, thanx Amazon....my old headset died and I needed fast replacement. I'm very happy with these ear buds....best I've ever had for sensitivity, clarity, separation, high, low and mid response. Played a few of my favorite classic jazz pieces and these phones are so accurate I could hear the bad edits made in the recording. If there is one fault, I found the stiff over ear hooks to be annoying and cumbersome....but the sound quality more than makes up for this superficial design flaw.

Where is the Bass?? these sound like dollar store headphones. I dont even know what i bought, the crappy headphones i bought in 1992 sounded better. I will be returning these
