Not quite a Rockstar yet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sound Quality: I have used the headphones to listen to music and during calls. The sound quality is clear, and when on calls, the other party could hear me with ease. Do not touch the cable too much. You will hear an echo. Also, the noise isolation does not work well. I can hear my surroundings.
Connection: When I plug in the connector into my iPhone, the sound does not automatically change from my iPhone to the headphones. I have to unplug and plug back in, for the sound to go through the headset.
Material Quality: The ear tips are comfortable and fit snug into my ears. The volume buttons worked every time. The wire is flexible, which allowed for the headphones to be wound up tight and compact. The material of the cable, however, does feel cheap.
Overall: The headphones are decent to use when you're sitting and not moving around too much. I will not use it while exercising due to the echo issue.

Hi, Wartof,
We highly appreciate your direct feedback about the Belkin G3H0001. We'd like our Product Experts to check the unit further and provide better assistance. For isolation, try using the unit to a different handheld device and see if the same thing happens.

A very good non-battery dependent headset
on September 3, 2019
Posted by: davestein
from NYC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer wired headsets over Bluetooth. I don't always remember to charge my headsets, pairing can be a hassle, worrying about battery life is silly (do I listen to music on the subway and risk not having battery left for a call later in the day), keeping charging cables everywhere and carrying one with me, etc.
The standard Apple headphones aren't very good, and I've gone through a few dongles, including the expensive Apple ones and cheap knockoffs. It seems that somewhere, next to my missing single socks, is a small pile of my lost lightning to 3.5 mm adapters.
It's nice to have a good sounding replacement to the standard Apple headset that is both compact and not white. The remote (buttons on the flat cable) works fine for shuffling and pausing music and answering calls.
Sound is good, but not great. These are a bit weak on the bass, while the mids and trebles are fine. Calls are very good (clear and loud) as I don't speak with James Earl Jones.
Although there is no active noise cancelling (that would require a power source and the headset would not be compact), the noise isolation is very good PROVIDED that you insert the correct size ear tips (there are three sizes) and really put them in.
Overall, these are an upgrade from the provided Apple headphones and it is great to be both wired and dongle free. The sound is great for voice calls and good for music - very good if you don't listen to bass heavy music.

Excellent wired headphones

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great headphones, sound is very clean, headphones are comfortable in ear. Inline switch works great. I like the modern look of the headphones. Connection is easy to plug in. I also like the different size earpieces included. I also like how the headphones are angled and easy to put in your ear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great alternative to Apple's headphones. They stay in the ear and great sound for the price. Easy to use controls.

Good sound poor volume controls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed wearing these headphones. With the proper earpiece on they were comfortable to wear and they provided excellent noise cancellation. My neighbor is doing heavy construction and it’s quite loud. I wanted to sit outside and listen to my music and these headphones did a great job of sealing out all that construction noise.
The sound is pretty good. Music is clear, the highs are crisp and the bass was adequate. Spoken podcasts were clear and the noise cancellation allowed me to pickup the full conversation no matter the background noise.
The mic was good, picking up my voice at a whisper with light noise in the background. Phone calls, I was told that my voice was clear. I could hear the other person well. The only thing I find weird, and this is me, talking to someone with noise canceling headphones is strange. I can hear myself breathing and swallowing as I am talking on the phone. I find it distracting. Like I said, just my idiosyncrasy.
I especially love the flat wire design. Every pair of round wire headphones I own tie themselves into annoying little bows just by looking at them, not these. The flat wire seems immune to that. I put them in my bag, my pocket, desk drawer and when I pulled them out each time to use, no knots. I didn’t have to spend 5 minutes trying to untangle wires and earpieces.
The one issue I had with these headphones was the volume control. When I first plugged them in, out of the box, I pressed the volume up and up it went but I could not get volume down to work. Every 5th or 6th press the volume down would actually do something. I used these headphones 6 hours a day, everyday for a little over a week. The volume up started doing the same thing. It was a little annoying to always have to pull out my phone to adjust the volume every time. The play, pause, skip forward and voice control button worked fine, just not the volume controls. I think that my pair is defective and this is not typical to every pair. I would’ve given these headphones 4 1/2 stars if not for the volume control issues.

Comfortable headphones with Good Standard Sound
on September 3, 2019
Posted by: wcadams8625
from Wells, ME
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good pair of headphones that are very comfortable in the ears with 3 different sizes to adjust to. The playback controls are just at the right length of the cord and are very convenient when you want to change your song or adjust volume level while keeping your iPhone tucked away in your pocket. The cord is tangle resistent which is very helpful when stored in the pocket. The sound quality is good but the sound is not the greatest considering it's a wired headphone. I would rate the quality very similar to the standard wired headphones that Apple has provided with their past iPhones.
