KitSound Ribbons Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Black
Great sound quality
Purchased these to use with my fitbit versa. Have all the functions I wanted, volume control, skip forward/back/answering calls. Great battery life. I was also swayed by the colour. Like the magnetic earbuds so they stay securely round your neck when not in use. Only downside is the smallest earbud adaptors were too big for my ears so changed them. And the in-line volume control weighs them down on one side so tends to fall out often. But most of them are designed like this anyway.

Great for the money
Very happy with these. I was worried from the price that they'd be terrible, but I have been pleasantly surprised! First of all they connect to bluetooth easily, and the controls are simple. I like the magnetic earbuds so that you can secure it around your neck. The only downside I've had is that that don't stay super well in my ears, so one side tends to fall out on occasion while at the gym if I'm doing something with a lot of movement. But generally they stay in ok. Would recommend.

Good sound but poor design
Pretty good sound and features for the price. The control unit is quite bulky though, which weighs down one side so I have to adjust the cable quite often. Also has a constantly flashing light when turned on which is way brighter than it needs to be. The charging port cover has a small lip on that lifts up so you can plug them in, but is quite fragile and is close to breaking off on mine after about 2 weeks of use, which will make it hard to get to the charging port once that's gone.

Little heavy but great sound and connection.
My first pair of wireless headphones, wanted something relatively cheap with good battery level and decent sound. Better than I expected not only can I leave my phone in bag/pockets without any impact on the connection but I can also walk away from my phone to anywhere in my apartment and they still sound great. Only issue is the control bar is quite heavy and can cause drag but otherwise look cute and sound great. The battery life lasts 5+ hrs when I've used them for music only.

Good basic set of wireless headphones
Great set of headphones for a decent price, Easy to set up on my phone, just turn them on and pair with the device you are using, no unnecessary or confusing app. The sound is about what you would expect for a pair of wireless headphones in this price range, mids are clear, bass is a bit weak, but a decent if not spectacular sound. Battery life good, I get 6 hours continuous play time before needing to charge Overall a good set of headphones either as mains or backups

Brilliant set of earphones!
I bought these to use in the gym and it they are were so good I bought a second set for general use. The battery lasts for about 5 hours but they charge up extremely fast. It's really easy to pair to your Bluetooth device. The sound quality is really good and I have had no problems making and receiving calls on them. With the added feature of the magneticism, there is little chance that you will lose them when they are hanging on your neck. I would recommend these to anyone.

don;t buy these
battery pack is too heavy. ribbon wires don't bend. These 2 issues mean the battery pack pulls round and as soon as you turn your head the ear bud is pulled out. The bluetooth connection kept being dropped across a many devices (including Android phone, iPad, PC). also, when changing the ear bud to see if a different size kept them in, they ripped - poor quality only 1 star for sound quality as I couldn't use them enough to form an opinion. Returned them within 4 days

OMG! I am deaf in 1 ear
Wow! Lush product, or so I thought. This will help me out at the gym as the music is soo loud I can't hear my beeps for my HIIT workouts. All good, all connected and ready to go. Oopps what this? I can only hear the beeps in one ear! That is because with all the jumping around, burpees aarrgg, the stupid weighted on off switch/volume box is too heavy and constantly falls out of your ear and smacks you in the face. So I tried one ear. Balance gone! Use whilst stationary.

Just Awful so returned to Argos
Bought this item to use with my iPhone...charged it up and paired it with my device. Now I’m quite tech-savvy but from the first use, the Bluetooth connection kept dropping during calls so one minute i’m talking using the earphones and the next minute i am scrambling to get the phone out to continue the discussion! i had carried out the charging/pairing process several times just to check i had not done anything wrong and tried it on different devices. Unhappy!

Don't fit purpose
Designed for sports/gym use, But after a few trips to the gym they don't stay in my ears. The volume control unit is too heavy/clunky and is far too close to the bud, so as soon as you start running etc, the weight and momentum pulls them out. There is also no fastening clip for collar etc, so they fall either into machinery below or on floor and you end up stepping on them. Lost my receipt and binned box, otherwise they wouldve gone back. Avoid like the plague!!

Great for the price
Very easy to set up, use and operate. I bought these as a gift for my better half and set them up for her etc and will Iikely be buying some for myself. I had been recommended kitsound before & these did not disappoint! Very well designed, the magnetic earpieces are a real positive here! As a non-premium product you don’t always expect premium sound quality but that is not the case here, very impressed considered these are a very affordable option.

Simple to set up but doesn't stay in ears
Wanted Bluetooth earphones to wear whilst travelling to work. Easy set up, comes with spare ear covers and simple controls. Only drawback, it doesn't stay in my ears. It could be the plastic type ear covers supplied, so will try and buy foam ones and see if it works. A shame really, the design is good and the outside of the earplugs are magnetic to keep them together especially when they are in the bottom of a bag. Maybe for people with bigger ear canals.

Brilliant sound for cheap earphones
Bought these for my daughter I was thinking these will do her because there cheap and she doesn't look after much anyway. But when we got these home I was surprised by the sound quality it's really good and really loud. She is made up with them. It took her a while to get used to putting them in her ears but she persevered and now she loves them. She likes the little magnets on them too so they stay around her neck when she's not using them.

Is it worth it?
In my opinion the earphones are very good looking and have a decent sound for the money. However the wire could be a little more well built . The comfort on these earphones are amazing they have three earbud that come with it a small medium and large so any ear size will fit. I would recommend this to someone but they wI'll have to be a backup for your main headphones or earphones as they will not last very long due to the build quality.

Good but this is my third pair in a year & a half
These headphones are brilliant but the first ones broke when they didn’t properly connect to my phone. The second ones kept turning on and off. I am on my third ones with insurance. They are really good. I have a lot of speakers from the ks brand and their Bluetooth connection works really quickly. I also like that they are connected in the minimalist style as I cycle with these. Overall, these headphones are really good.

Look good and sound terrible
The lows are ok but the highs are very tinnie. My music sounds distorted and any podcast I listen to need to be down low because highs are quite painful. With the control on one side that ear always falls out if you are walking fast or running. I would avoid these and would not recommend these. Which is a shame as they’re the best looking ear buds I saw in that price range. Top tip... pay more and buy better

Do not waste your money
Please don't waste your money on these headphones. They may look nice but are not for use. They do not stay in your ears. I have tried all ear cushions but none stay in. I have had to tie it in my ponytail to balance out the control side of the headphones which with the slightest knock again still falls out your ears! My dog is even fed up with them as I have to keep stopping on her walk to put them back in!! Avoid!

Bluetooth dropping out after a week of use.
Initially the earphones worked well and the sound quality was reasonable. Unfortunately after a week of use, the Bluetooth signal was lost meaning whatever was being listened to began playing from the phone instead. After this happened the earphones wouldn't connect properly with any device and after unpairing and starting over, the issue persisted. Returned them and opted for a set of sony wired earphones instead.

Simple, discreet and great quality
These earphones were bought as an Xmas present for my brother. He usually uses headphones on the bus on his way to/from school. These are great! So discreet, no more wires hanging down. Great quality, comfortable in the ear, sound quality is great and they’re magnetic so we don’t worry about him losing them either. Great present that he loved, and I’m also purchasing myself a pink pair- happy holidays!

Excellent value for the price
I was looking to replace a more expensive wired set of earphones, when I saw these wireless ones far cheaper. I thought it was worth trying them and I was surprised once I got them as they have a good sound quality, seem pretty robust, and the multifunction buttons all work perfectly with my iPhone. I charge them up every few days after getting 4 hours plus use. All in all, happy I bought these.

Awful
Not very good at all. Very uncomfortable to wear. They fall out of your ears constantly as they are far to heavey. This is also not helped by the rubberized loop which seems to stick/pull on hair and clothing to aid the pulling out of your ears. If your phone falls to the bottom of your hand bag then you lose connection, very annoying. The sound quality is ok and the range is just about ok.

Good with easy interface
Very good quality for the price brought these for a plane journey as a pose to earplugs got some forest sounds playing and I was well on the way to sleep.Easy to connect to a device but be aware it doesn’t have a great range but if you can get over that there are no better wireless budget headphones as cheap as this on the market that even scratch the surface of the quality of these.

Disappointing
Very disappointed with this set. Sound is very bass heavy, so heavy in fact that at higher levels it becomes distorted and woolly. Mid and high frequencies are fine. Comfort in the ears are great. Advise to listen at low levels or choose a different set of headphones.Design is slightly weird too: which piece is left or right?? Assumed side with controls was left side!!

Lovely colour to match my phone and watch
The sound on these headphones are great.Recieving phone calls too, great sound...They are very lightweight...Unfortunately,the only thing I do find is that when I’m running they tend to come out my ears.Now,this could be just down to me being a bit older and never wearing anything like this before whilst running.I will persevere trying the different sizes of buds.
