SoundLAB White Mono Magnetic Earphones with 3.5 mm Jack A013

I cannot fault this product. To compare it with the latest hi-fi ear-fitting from MicroMac or wherever is pointless. I am judging it for what it is, a cheap and cheerful retro-earpiece that works perfectly in conveying sound from my little transistor into my ear. For what it costs, it's just the job. The sound is as good as one could possibly expect from something like this (hence my rating of 'excellent' - this is arbitrary, after all); comfort is fine, it just pops into your ear and you can't feel it; value for money is beyond question - if this is what you're looking for, that is. I was, so I bought more than one and will be buying more as the need arises.

These were never that wonderful or of a high quality back in the 70s using similar ones to listen to Radio Luxembourg deep into the night. But what they were then and are now is cheap, dependable and disposable to a degree. They are the very useful in function but also don't provoke tears due to cost if you break one. Went through loads as kid when they were only 49p and will probably go through loads as a adult too. Meanwhile my expensive whatever brand at the time headphones are preserved from the abuse these get.

This little ear piece actually stays in your ear all night if you want it to or if your spouse/partner wants quietness and peace and no radio noise. If you are used to putting the ear piece in your right ear, insert it with the cable facing forwards and then turn the cable downwards which turns the earpiece clockwise in your ear (as viewed from the right). so it (the earpiece) is trapped behind your ear lobe - where it comfortably stays all night if that's what you want it to do.Vice versa I suppose, if you put the earpiece in your left ear but I couldn't vouch for that! Try it if you are a left-ear person!

Love this little earpiece. But have had to order 3. The connection keeps going. So cheap so not too big an issue, but annoying that it keeps happening.

This is a photo of this product's jack (on the right) and my old dual ear pods (left) which fits my Galaxy mobile correctly. Because the jack on this new product is slightly shorter it's not connecting properly so annoyingly no sound! Very odd as they are both described as the same size! Confused.

Hey, these are cheaper than chips. If you want Bose quality, pay zillions and you'll get that. Buy these, they are just the job for listening in privacy. I use mine for R4 at night, clear crisp reproduction. What more do you want for the price? You don't get a Roller for the price of a Mini! I bought 4, as all earphones break eventually. Excellent value.This is my second purchase of these ear buds. I use them to listen to radio in bed. I can only repeat the above from last purchase. They last for ages, ideal for what I want. They were supposed to arrive on the 19th August, but arrived on 16th! All round excellent product and service.I’ll probably add to this in about 12 months time when I may need replacements. A bargain, that’s about 50p a month, well worth it.

I wanted this for my bedside radio. As with all these earpieces the wire to the connection eventually wears and they no longer work. I have got through quite a few of them. This one is so far doing fine, no problems, and I would recommend.

Very poor sound quality and really uncomfortable, but Hey, it was worth a punt
