KLIMFusion - In Ear Headphones with Mic + Excellent Audio + Long-lasting Ear Buds + 5 years Assurance + Wired Headphones with Memory Foam Tips + 3.5 mm Jack + New Version - Black

I hesitate to give 5 stars, but then again, I am a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to music. Granted these were purchased at sale price, so I can't complain for less than £17, but here's the story.The unboxing experience was excellent, a small metal tin, which is a keeper by the way, opens like a sweet tin to reveal a little card with the brand name on. Underneath the card is your product, nicely curled and held in said curl with premium matt plastic, sat on top of the neoprene bag, which was the same colour as the lime green cable and memory foam earbuds of the product. The green is of a similar colour to a highlighter pen. Underneath these, is the spare earbuds, some in black, some rubber, different sizes. Please bear in mind that if you need really small earbuds, you have to use the rubber, there is no small memory foam, just medium and large. Also, alongside the bag with these, is the input/output splitter (4 pole female to 3 pole male mic and out), also with he same cable colour as your new headphones. Once removed from the tin, the product feels solid and well made. The housing for the earphones is metal, and the paint finish is well done. The cable is rubber, but feels like it can take a lot of wear, but of course, we shall see in this regard, having been through quite a few in my time. The headphone jack feels premium too, made of the same metal as the earphones, and the connection from this to the cable is shrouded by approx 2mm of rubber as discussed in the advertising. Unfortunately, the in line remote is plastic. It would have been nice to see this in the same metal as the rest of the hardware. The magnetic ear buds are a nice touch though.Now, on to audio quality. As mentioned above, I can be a stickler for what I see as perfect audio. I like my bass to be punchy, but not overpowering, mids to come through clean, and trebles to ring clear. I listen to a variety of music, from metal to classical, and can be very discerning.It took me a long time to find a good balance with the equaliser and other audio settings for these whilst on my phone (Sony Xperia XA). I had to dial the bass right down, and increase the treble and midrange to fill, and put on a virtual surround effect. Bear in mind that without said adjustments, the audio had an effect of being muted in most ranges. Also, I found that the effect seem to come back depending on the track, so again, adjustment was required to get a happy medium between different genres. Your factory presets will not work here, user defined is the way. Once all adjustments were made, however, I was noticing small nuances and details in the tracks were more pronounced, and the individual instruments and harmony parts were clear and defined. Overall, a quality experience.Call quality is great, I could hear my fiancées voice loud and clear and all of the background noise as well when she called from her office. She also reports that the quality on her end was fantastic, far better than even my phone microphone.Wearing the earphones is great, they don't come out of my ears nearly as much as others. The memory foam earbuds really do hold up in this regard, but you do have to really shove them in there, thought I was going to hit eardrum at this point!!Now, I understand that this a set designed by gamers. Being a gamer too (just made MGE in CS:GO xD) I understand the need for heavy bass, for sound queues, and to feel the reverberations of real life within the game (I also want a go with this company's new mechanical keyboard, looks good!!) However, I feel there is a bit too much concentration on said bass, and would have liked to see a bit more of a balanced sound. This is, however, a criticism for most gaming designed Headsets that don't carry hardware surround.Overall, though, I have to say that the entirety of the product is a great experience, and, though I am reluctant due to my audiophile tendencies, they are granted 5 stars.

I was doing a round of retail therapy on amazon's 'deals' list recently, when this set of earbuds turned up. You've probably never heard of KLIM - I certainly hadn't a year ago when I needed a new keyboard. I was looking for it primarily for gaming, but wasn't prepared to pay silly money for a mechanical one, and took a chance on KLIM's 'Lightning' hybrid. Turns out to be an amazingly solid, high quality piece of equipment, and as a bonus, the documentation that came with it was an absolutely hilarious read (deliberately - not in that 'engrish' way of so much tech produce). I laughed so hard that when I decided I needed one, I had no hesitation buying a wrist-wrest from them too, and as I'd hoped, it proved to be another bargain priced, quality item (therapeutically squishy!).Anyway, sorry for the digression, back to the earbuds. Turns out their audio equipment is just as good quality and value as their other merchandise. I usually object to paying more than £10 for a set, as they don't last more than 2 / 3 months of my (mis)use, regardless how much they've cost, but I believe that I'll be using these for considerably longer. They look great and feel robust, and while I'm no audio snob, I find they produce a good clear sound, neither too tinny nor overly bassy, the way that bargain 'phones can be, and with no distortion, even when playing louder than I find comfortable. I've been wearing them extensively while making calls, and the mic is splendidly clear too.They came packed in a dinky presentation tin that contains a soft carrying pouch, a cable clip, 3 sets of memory foam and 3 of the usual 'floppy' style tips, and a useful cable splitter, for equipment needing seperate lines for input / output.All this for under £15 - honestly, I'd be extremely surprised if you could find a better set of 'phones for less than twice this amount, or probably much more.I'm not a big fan of 'branded' products, I dislike paying over the odds just to end up advertising some multi-national conglomerate whose success is as much to do with clever advertising as the quality of their merchandise - if you've ever doubted Dr Dre's gangster credentials, look at the price of his tat, and ask yourself who else could possibly charge those prices? That being said, I would (and do) recommend KLIM to anyone hoping to find themselves tech essentials of a superior standard at a reasonable price. Buy it - you won't regret it.

Everything about these earphones is great.They came at a cheap price; £17, and when it arrived I expected the earphones to be bad quality as the packaging was poor as it was a tin sealed close but there was no box or plastic wrapping - nothing else. However I was astounded by the amount of accessories it came with : a case, an earphone holder clip, a 3.5mm to x2 3.5mm(for listening on planes for example), and 5 extra pairs of earbuds- 3 black different sized rubber buds, a large pair of green memory foam buds and a pair of standard black memory foam buds. On the other hand not everything was perfect, the earphone holder clip was flimsy and the case barley fit the earphones and clip and I couldn't even close it properly. Furthermore I would prefer if it was a hard case as it wasn't protected that well.The sound quality was great for music. The bass was high but not extreme and the music was in depth and I could hear backround sounds that I couldn't hear with a speaker. But the largest negative is that when listening to films for example, the earphones focused on backround noise so it was difficult to hear the conversation in the foreground. In addition the memory earbuds were very comfortable and they barely slipped out.In conclusion if you're looking for good, portable and cheap earphones and you like listening to music in depth, I would recommend these earphones. But if you want to watch his many documentaries, videos, or films then don't buy these.
