Avantree E171 - AUX 3.5mm Wired Earbuds with Microphone & Volume Control

Great earbuds for workouts and everyday use! I’m really happy with these Avantree E171 sports earbuds. They fit comfortably and stay securely in my ears, which makes them great for walking, running, or working out. The sound is clear and enjoyable, and I like the ear-hook design because I don’t have to keep adjusting them. The wired connection is also convenient—no worrying about charging or losing a Bluetooth connection. Overall, they’re comfortable, practical, and a great value. I would definitely recommend them!

UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am updating this review that I had initially submitted. Approximately 8 months after I bought these (Sep. 2023), the right earbud stopped working all the sudden. I could jiggle and hold the volume control and the sound would come back, but that was not an option. Therefore, I contacted Avantree Support and let them know what happened. They responded by email within 24 hours (other responses for the Support Incident were even quicker than that), and indicated they would send me a new set at no charge as they were still under warranty and provided clear instructions on how to order the new ones. The new ones arrived yesterday, 05/28/24 and they work like a charm. I am still very satisfied with the earbuds, and the professional customer service provided by Avantree. I still feel these are a very good value for the price, given the way they handled replacing the original defective set. ORIGINAL: I have had these Avantree E171 - Sports Earbuds Wired with Microphone for about 3 weeks now and I mainly use these on the treadmill when I run. I have found these to be more than adequate for that purpose. I previously bought Koss $6 headphones for the same purpose but I found those didn't last long enough before one of the earpieces would just go dead. With the Avantree, I can see that for the price, they are a little better made and the wiring is a little stronger. They don't seem flimsy at all, and the earbuds themselves and the portion that fits on your ears seem to be sturdy. They fit on my ears nicely enough with the loops and they do not bother me with or without glasses. They come with the middle size eartips attached, but I did find that when I run on the treadmill, they seemed to jump around a little, so I put on the larger ones. (The earbuds come with 3 sizes of eartips). The eartips are a little hard to get off and get the new ones on but you just need to grab the main part of the earbud and grab the base of the eartip and twist and pull a little to take it off, then work the new one on to the stem by working the opening of the eartip on the stem and pushing down and twisting a little. I have dexterity issues with my hands and I still got them on and off in about a minute. As far as the sound, these are not bass heavy at all, but that is fine (especially for the price) as the music I listen to doesn't have much bass (such as with rap and some rock), but I found there is enough bass where needed, and they provide a nice rich, melodic sound without being "tinny" at all. In addition, although they do not have built-in noise cancelling functionality, I find that with the larger eartips when I am on the treadmill in our community fitness room, I do not hear the lady that babbles on loudly and continuously :). Thank You Avantree! I have not tried these with a cell phone, so I can't speak to using with that. But, I have tried these on an iPod shuffle, an iPod touch and an iPad. The product listing here under "Before You Buy, Please Note That..." notes: "The built-in volume control does not work on PC, laptop, or iOS MP3 players, and the volume up button does not work on the Pixel 3A and Galaxy A9, S10, and Note 9 (it'll activate Google Assistant instead)." I will verify the in-cord volume control and the pause button does not work on the iPod shuffle, but I found they DO work on the iPod Touch and my iPad. Seems to be a bit of a bonus. Overall, I think they are worth the price and provide a set of nice sounding wired earbuds.

Good sound, for the price. I don't think they're as comfortable as the phones without the horizontal strap thing holding the earpieces. You get used to it after a bit, though. They stay in place when you're out walking, running, mowing the lawn or whatever. So, perfectly acceptable. And the cord does seem a little heavier gauge than most, so maybe more durable. That's what kills every set of wired earbuds, one side or the other gets a break in the tiny wiring. I don't know if the actual wire is any thicker gauge, but the plastic coating seems to be.

High schooler replacement headphones for the Chromebook as they have to be wired. The ear cup ones weren’t so comfy anymore. Kid says they’re super comfortable, have great quality sound and mic input! He’s very happy with these and used them every day so far for about 2 weeks since school started. No damage yet either! That speaks volumes considering how teens, especially teen boy athletes can be rough with pretty much everything. These were a good buy.

These work well for me as the corded back-up to my bluetooth ear buds (if they run out of juice). BUT, if you do carry them, they need to go into a HARD case carrier, else the ear bud segment will split from the body if crushed by the other stuff you're carrying.

It hasn't been long so if this should change I will update this review but so far these are fantastic. Especially for the price I paid for them. The sound isn't amazing but it is still very good. They are surprisingly good at noise canceling which I wasn't expecting and they stay in just fine when I run with them. They aren't incredibly snug but I don't find myself constantly adjusting them like I have with many other head phones. I was really just looking for cheap headphones I could run and be active with and these fit the bill. Definitely recommend. Edit: I’ve had these headphones for about 10 months now. I’ve used them weekly for workouts so I’d say the use was pretty rigorous but not crazy. The headphones have begun to malfunction in a bunch of different ways. First, the microphone for phone calls and whatnot stopped working within probably a month or two of purchase. Not a big deal because I don’t use these to make calls or anything so that was fine. But recently, the headphones only work if the cord is in a very specific position. It is very finnicky and frustrating. The headphones also have a very weird issue where the volume will turn down randomly on my phone over and over. It’s not the physical volume control on the headphones either, it’s somehow changing the volume on my phone’s OS. This only happens when these specific headphones are plugged it. It also randomly touches certain spots on the screen whenever the headphones are plugged in which is strange but an issue I’ve (strangely enough) come across before and not a huge issue as the screen is off 99% of the time I use the headphones anyway but still a bit annoying. Between all of these issues, these headphones are sadly just about useless now. While I would still probably recommend these headphones as the price is right and they worked great for a while. I’m still disappointed that they didn’t last at least a year. So I would say that these are a pretty decent pair of headphones with a great price but maybe look elsewhere for a more durable solution to your audio needs.

they sound great and stay in place

Love em i use them for racing

Ben çok beğendim yüzüme oturdu

Super Klang, trotzdem hört man die Umgebung, genau was ich brauche, das wichtigste, die drücken nicht und sind angenehm zu tragen.

Excelente sonido, buen agarre

auricolari stanno ben fissi all'orecchio e l'audio è buono e sufficientemente alto. Sono soddisfatto.

Poor quality
