The sound quality of the Apple EarPods were average. That is not the case with the Apple EarPods, which is odd. In short, if you like music and hate phone calls, get the UGreen.Īpple accessories are usually priced out of contention in our reviews because they generally offer less functionality than the competitors but cost more. Also, good luck trying to find the L and R symbols on the headphones. They look cool but removing the earbuds requires you to tug on the cable and not the body of the earbuds which isn’t great. The UGreen In-Ear Headphones is also incredibly small which makes insertion a little tricky. If you take a lot of calls or need mics for your TikToks, don’t get this pair of headphones. The mic is terrible as everything sound extremely tinny.

The only thing suppressing the ranking of these Lightning In-Ear Headphones is the mic. If there was a pair of headphones that made us forget we were testing wired headphones, it would be the UGreen’s. Products like the Belkin Rockstar Lightning headphones have thicker, less flexible cables that cause a lot of cable noise to travel to your ears. The bass doesn’t drown everything out and the higher registers sounds crisp and full.Ĭable noise is kept to a minimum because the cable diameter on the headphones is small (smallest in our test group) and flexible. The standout feature of UGreen In-Ear Headphones is the sound quality. There would be no other reason to spend an extra $15-20 on these headphones. The only reason we’d get these headphones would be for the fast delivery through Amazon Prime. The earbuds themselves were easy to put in and other than the extra tip at the top of the stem, looked like the Apple Earpods. The cable on these earphones was the shortest of the group by 3 inches. There weren’t any big pitfalls to the mic, it just didn’t sound as good. The mic on the Amazon Lightning Headphones didn’t sound as good as Apple EarPod’s but better than the UGreen and Belkin products. We did notice that pop tracks sounded better than Apple’s headphones but not rock and acoustic/voice tracks. The bass was heavier than Apple’s own Earpods and the mid/high ranges weren’t as bright. The Amazon Basics Lightning headphones are the complete opposite of that expectation.Īmazon Basics Lightning headphones sounded average in terms of sound quality. Our expectation of Amazon Basic products is that they are as good as name brands but at a better price. We’re quite certain Amazon messed up these lightning earphones.
