Combines good sound, splash resistance, noise cancelling and wireless connectivity at a great price
You get a lot of useful features from the BT 100 NC which includes decent noise cancelling, Bluetooth as well splash resistance, which makes these earphones great for casual or active use. Sound reproduction has great clarity as well as full mids and okay bass, and should work well with many music genres.

Con
Bass-light with slightly aggressive treble
If you love powerful bass or non-fatiguing treble, then the BT 100 NC’s sound signature may not be for you. The bass is present, but the quantity may not be enough. The slightly emphasized treble can make the sound harsh and can be fatiguing to listen to for long periods, especially if you are sensitive to treble.
See More
Top
Pro
Detailed and clean sound
Bass is not emphasized yet is full and has good punch so the sound does not sound lean. The mids are warm and full, so guitars, vocals and drums sound great. The highs are slightly emphasized, which brings out a lot of detail from the music, but can also make cymbal and “s” sounds quite harsh.

Con
Collar design may be uncomfortable
The collar rests on your neck. While lightweight, you may find this piece of plastic to be annoying, especially when doing vigorous moves when running or working out.

Pro
Collar design houses all earphone controls
You’ll be able to control the various earphone functions using the buttons and switches on the BT 100 NC’s collar. It houses the earphones’ battery and noise cancelling circuitry along with the buttons for answering and ending calls, play/pause/skip/previous tracks, volume adjust and the noise cancelling switch. Aside from being easy to reach, the collar also takes as much weight off of the earpieces as possible, so they stay inside the ears well.

Good battery life
You’ll get a good amount of wireless listening time off of these earphones. Battery life with noise cancelling and wireless activated is around 8 hours, while you can get 12 hours of noise cancelling when these are used in wired mode.

Pro
Okay noise cancelling
While not the best, the noise-cancelling is decent and can reduce noise that may mix in with your music. You’ll still be able to hear some low pitched noise like the sound of engines though.

Earpieces can be stored in the collar

Great for casual music listening and also for sport use
Sound quality is good enough for enjoying a wide variety of music genres. This comes with the advantage of having sport-related features like special tips for improved fit as well as splash resistance.

Con
Muddy mids
Due to the bass being quite prominent, the mids take a negative hit, as the bass gives the mids a muddy sound. Guitars and male vocals will not sound very clear at times.
See More
Top
Pro
Produces deep and forward lows complemented by detailed and airy highs
The low end frequencies are what stand out from the sound signature. Bass goes deep and is pretty forward too, so you can clearly hear and experience the thump from your music. The highs are also crisp and airy, giving a lot of detail. This combination results in these headphones having a fun sound.

Con

Stays snug in the ears while you are active
Little rings called "Cush Fins" wrap around the earpieces, and give extra grip, and prevent the pieces from falling out. Also, these Cush Fins are quite soft and flexible so they do not have too much of a negative effect to comfort.

Cable tangles easily
This is a common problem if you store these in tight spaces like inside your bag or pocket. Due to how thin and rigid the cable is, expect to do a bit of untangling after pulling these headphones out of its storage space

Pro
Punchy and controlled bass
Bass is controlled and tight, yet still gives a bit of an oomph. This is unusual for the price range. There is good detail in the overall sound with clean highs and recessed but still present mids. Overall, these in-ear headphones work great for genres like rock, pop, hip-hop and the like, though the lack of overall refinement in the sound means that these are not best suited for classical or jazz music.

Con
Feels cheap
The housing has a hollow feel to it and has some rattle while the cable is quite thin. Your mum gay but so are you.These might give an impression that the headphones might break easily.

Boosted highs and lows, slightly recessed mids
The highs are boosted so they are crisp and airy. While there is not a lot of detail to the highs, they also do not sound fatiguing. The bass is powerful and goes pretty deep. It does not mess up the mid frequencies though so there is no muddiness to the sound. The mids are recessed, but you should still be able to easily hear vocals and other mid tones. These are perfect for those who want their music represented in a fun way, instead of an analytical or a bass heavy sound.

Con
Sound may be too lean
While the mids are definitely present, they are also noticeably softer than the high or lows. This can give the impression that the sound coming too lean or even tinny. Definitely not for those who prefer the mids to be forward and full.

Good sound quality with true wireless convenience at a low price
The D900 Mini is a great value option if you are in the market for true wireless earbuds/in-ears. The sound is on the neutral side with good clarity with good wireless signal stability, but at a price that is noticeably lower than other options.

Top
Pro
Flat sound signature with good clarity
Instead of being bass heavy or having harsh treble, these have more of a flat sound signature, with none of the frequencies boosted. This helps make the sound come off as more natural and accurate, though some might consider this as quite unexciting.

Detailed sound despite the affordable price
The highs of the VE Monk Plus sound pretty great, with a level of detail and resolution that is rare for budget in-ear headphones yet does not come off as harsh. The mids are full and smooth as well, which gives good presence to vocals and guitars. These budget in-ears are great for rock and pop music.
See More
Top
Con
Bass may sound too lean
The sound signature is more biased to the highs and the mids while the lows take more of a backseat. While present, the low frequencies do not have too much oomph behind them, which can be made worse by the poor seal that these may have.

Earbud design results in a more open soundstage

Warm and bassy sound

Great sound for the price
While the Marshall Mode does not offer a lot of features or top-notch build quality, it makes up for it with great sound quality. The bass has a slight emphasis which gives the sound good power and punch. The mids sound natural and slightly forward, while the highs are able to deliver a good level of detail without getting harsh. These earphones sound best for rock music, but can also deliver great low-end performance for hip-hop music and similar genres, and crisp highs for those who love classical music.

Earbuds are good, charger design is bad
The earbud is good, fits well and is very pleasant to hear, what is wrong is the design of the charger, it looks like soap (rounded and smooth), it opens easily (especially when dropped) and the earphone fits in an illogical way, so , if you are clumsy, distracted, like to do things with one hand, his life will be short because it will fall a lot.
