SoundLABWhite 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.

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 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!

Cheap and nasty.

I like to listen to the radio in bed, helps me get to sleep. Using a mono single earpiece makes sense. I can lay on my side comfortably and can also listen to stereo broadcasts. Often with stereo earpieces I find that if I just use , say the left side, then I lose a lot of narrative volume from the right.The earpiece is comfortable, the item seems well made although only time will tell how long they might last. At the price I think they are better than I expected and I am hopeful that I will be using them for a long time.

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.

I don't want to sound over critical with this item, but I have to say I was disappointed with them, (I ordered two together to save time in future). Its true to say they were quite cheap and you often get what you pay for, but I've used these earpieces in years gone by quite happily and didn't realise how good the sound of the newer twin earpiece sets are now in comparison. The sound of this single earpiece is extremely tinny and thin, and I bought it so I could listen to the early morning news in bed on a small transistor radio without disturbing my wife. For this purpose only they suffice, but it is definitely not recommended to hear music through. The package was delivered to my home within seven days and the ear piece is a comfortable fit and the thin cable isn't long enough to get tangled, and I suppose for the price I shouldn't expect too much, but I wouldn't recommend it. I have a twin bud earphone set I bought from Poundland in the local high street, which are great soundwise, pity the cable is far too long and gets into knots easily.
