Maxell EB-CB Jelleez 190521 Stereo EarBuds, Caribbean Blue

 (23 customer reviews)

These are called "Jelleez" which, along with the fact that the label says "soft rubber" might lead you to believe, like I did, that these will be soft and fit comfortably in your ear. Don't believe it. If there is any soft rubber, then there's only a tiny layer of it over hard plastic. They're not really squishy or soft. These would not stay in your ears that well, unless you pushed them in and that's just not comfortable.
And, as another reviewer mentions, the cord is rather short. The sound is Ok, about as good as I'd expect from $10 headphones.

I paid $9.99, which isn't a lot, but when you can buy Sony MDR-J10 h.ear Headphones with Non-Slip Design (Black) that are super-comfortable, sound great and stay put - for about the same price - why bother with these?

I expected better quality from Maxell.

The transaction was great. The product itself was not what I expected. The cord is short and the buds themselves are big and uncomfortable. In an emergency they will work fine.

It is a decent pair of earbuds for the price. It is comfortable to my ears but may easily not for others. Buds are made of hard rubber and not really soft enough (not "jellylike" or "jeleez" as the package seems to convey) to conform with the shape of your inner ears.

Pros:
- Inexpensive
- Good audio at both low and high volume (What would you ask for a 5-10$ earbuds? I am not expecting it to sound like a 99$ Bose or 300$ Shure)
- No detachable foam or silicon buds to lose

Cons:
- The size of the earbuds will not fit everybody.
- The cord is too wiry and rubbery. The surface is a dust magnet.
