    Thanks for restoring my sanity! After I posted earlier in #37 about that very dodgy looking Gearbest image there was a bit of a tumbleweed moment and I thought "maybe it is just me then"?! Glad (and relieved) it's not! :-)

    Well - they arrived. I honestly cannot believe the quality for the money.

    The UiiSii set is amazing - like a pair of monitors - not bassy just a very pure sound.

    The VJJBs are, if anything, better - good bass, amazing soundstage and crystal clear. Plus - they come with 6 additional sets of tips and 2 cases - £11.99 - not possible!

    Cheers,

    Mark C

    KZ-ATE arrived yesterday. Very impressed for the money. I find the Apple ones just fall out constantly and these are a much better fit for a start. Bargain for £6.90

    After reading this thread i bought the KZ-ATE's from Ebay £7.69 took a couple of wks from China. I have to say i'm very impressed and frankly don't know how they do it for the money. Good sharp refined sound, decent build quality and fit well in ear. Thanks for the tip guys.

    My urban fun headphones arrived today. So far very impressed for the price.

    It took about a week via aliexpress

    These aren't the cheapest but the reviewer likes them. A tad more than some suggested above.

    I received a pair of KZ-ATRs this week and they are very agreeable for the money. I have always been reluctant to spend a lot of money on headphones as I've lost count of the number of pairs that have been chewed up in airline seats (I even managed to render a flat-bed seat inoperable on a Swiss Air flight once) so these are just the ticket. I think I'm going to order a couple of spares now that I've tried them.

    Bought a pair of these for running and general gym type stuff:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Excellent fit, comfortable, stay in place despite my sweaty ears (No idea how an ear can be so sweaty...). For £12.89 i'm very impressed. The sound is more than passable and if I trash them, so what, for that price they're replaceable.

    The Rock Zircon are down to £11 on Amazon Prime

    Just bought a spare set.

    Prefer them to the ATE and ATR.

    Smaller, better built and sound better to my ears

    Gearbest delivery ??

    So I bought a pair of KZ-ATEs on gear best a month ago.

    I know there's a long delivery on items from China but is a month typical for Gearbest ?

    On their website the seem to show a photo of the package that they sent and there's a tracking number that does nothing.

    Anyone else waiting ?

    Bought a few pairs recently, and the best sounding to me are the

    Soundmagic E10s.

    I went for the E10C version with the mic - Richer Sounds came up cheapest, at £34.99 incl delivery (pretty quick too )

    I (nearly) always leave reviews on Amazon - I think it's only fair as some of the reviews are artificially biased (I do leave bad reviews as well if the stuff is rubbish).

    At least mine isn't one of those "I received this item at a greatly discounted price in exchange for an unbiased review" ones (that I hate - I never believe them).

    You've got to admit though - £5.99 is ridiculous value.

    Cheers,

    Mark C

    I go through earphones at a terrible rate so have ordered a couple a cheap pairs from China after the recomendations here. But last week I trashed my last 2 pairs so needed something quick as the ones from China may take a couple of weeks. Ordered a pair of Rock Zircon on Sunday from Amazon and they were here Monday morning, they feel like a real quality pair of earphones and after having them in all day today can confirm they sound every bit as good as they look - astounding for the money
    So cheers for all the recommendations , they should save me a small fortune

    Had a pair of wireless headphones stolen recently so think it's time to invest, can anyone recommend a cheap pair of wireless headphones that actually have a bit of loud noise coming out of them

  24. #74
    ^I'd go for Soundmagic E10BT (£60) or the Brainwavz BLU-100 (£30)

    Got my 2 pairs . Obviously not quite as good as my Soundmagic E10Cs, but as you say they are very good indeed. Factor in the bargain price, and they are indeed excellent value and quality.
    Thanks for the heads up.
