The earphones are amazing! They are comfortable to wear, the memory foam is still going strong after two months, and the sound is great (the bass absolutely rocks for these being simple earphones), especially with the noise cancellation. The volume control is good, especially when I want to pause my music when my phone is in a pocket - there is about a 1 second lag before the pause/unpause button is effective, however the volume changes are nearly instantaneous. On top of receiving just the earphones with memory phone, you get either a small case or a little bag and 3 pairs of classic silicone earphone buds of different sizes so you can choose whatever is most comfortable for you - this is a very nice bonus.The only downside I have so far spotted for this product is the sturdiness of the volume control - I very clumsily stepped on one earphone (which survived unscathed thanks to its rugged alloy chassis) while carrying my laptop with the earphones plugged into its audio port. Unfortunately the bottom part of the volume control couldn't withstand the pulling and the two wires soldered onto the motherboard inside the chassis of the volume control were ripped off by the sheer force I generated. So one tip I would have for you (useful advice, I know) - despite being extremely rugged and durable, these earphones will eventually give away if you pull too hard on them, just like practically any other brand.

TLDR:+ Comfortable, Sturdy, Great sound. Includes handy tin for storage.- Volume control doesn't work with HTC. Maybe include a second pair of foam tips instead of 3 pairs of rubber ones.These are by far the most comfortable earphones I've ever owned. I have quite sensitive ears so cannot wear most earphones for longer than an hour without my ears beginning to hurt, which is a problem when you're playing video games or binge watching your favorite show. This isn't a problem with these as the memory foam tips mould to your ears without added pressure. They are also still light weight despite the metal housing, which is fantastic.The metal housing is also a massive benefit if you are clumsy (like me) or live in a household with lots of people (aka feet), I can't count the amount of earphones I've broken by me or someone else stepping on them. That's not a problem anymore.The metal tin included is also really handy for storing the earphones in a packed bag so they don't get wrapped around other items.The only negative I have is the the volume control doesn't work with HTC phones. Although most earphones that have a volume control option don't work with them either, this is more of a phone issue than a problem with the earphones.Finally the last thing is more of a suggestion than an issue. Instead of including three pairs of rubber tips, maybe Ludos should consider adding a second pair of memory foam ones. I'm quite prone to losing the tips from earphones just with normal daily use so having that second pair would allow you to have spares in case you're as clumsy as me.

Good value for money, I like the fact they came in a tin and came with the extra ear pieces so you can make them the right fit for your ears. I also like the fact they are cord rather than rubber coated as it tends to last a lot longer and I like the pouch they come with which will stop them tangling.They work of course but I would say the sound quality is a little poor. Not bad for the cost but I guess I'm too used to the ones that came with my Samsung phone which have fantastic sound quality.Would still purchase again.

Very pleased with these! Comfortable, great sound quality, love the wee tin they come in. Superb quality. Thank you.

TL;DR+ Good purchase if you only listen to audio books and podcasts, or only listen in the gym.+ The in-line volume control is honestly one of the best I've seen on a <£30 set of headphones.- Don't buy if you have small ear canals.- Don't buy if you like bass.+/- I think that the foam is just a gimmick.So to get this out of the way, I have very small ear canals, especially on my right side. I have to switch to the small buds on almost every pair of earphones that I buy, which is honestly fine. With these though, even the small buds were too big, and put a lot of pressure on the inside of my ears. After about a week they started to ache, and I have now bought a different pair of earphones from a different manufacturer because these were too uncomfortable. If you have larger ear canals, they'll probably be fine.Next up, the most important feature of earphones, audio quality. They're fine. Absolutely nothing to write home about. If you like bass, sorry, these are wimpy as hell. The volume range seems fine though. Honestly, they have almost identical audio quality to the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ that I used to use, which I don't consider to be a good thing, but other people might. If you're not too picky and just want some background noise in the gym, or you only listen to podcasts and audiobooks these are fine. If you really want to get the most out of your music though, you can do much better, even within the same price range.The big gimmick to these earphones are the memory foam buds, And unfortunately I think that it really is just a gimmick. It appears that Ludos do too, since only the medium sized buds are foam, the small and large buds are rubber. I said above that I switched to the smaller rubber buds, but I actually left the left foam bud on for a while, just to test them out because I was interested. I found absolutely no noticeable difference, other than the fact that they got up to body temperature slightly quicker, and more ear wax stuck to them.Noise cancellation is exactly what you'd expect. It sounds like you put ear plugs in. From what I can tell, there is no actual noise cancellation effect at all, apart from just having a physical barrier.I wouldn't normally mention this, but the in-line volume controls are actually really good, some of the best I've ever come across in budget earphones. The buttons are really easy to feel, have a satisfying click, aren't springy or spongy at all and are honestly just excellent. I can actually change the volume with my mouth when I'm washing the dishes, so I don't have to dry my hands first. Since the earbuds are also identical in shape, you can have the volume controls on the left or the right, whichever you prefer. These are the volume controls that other companies should aspire to have. They're slightly higher than you might be used to, but that's not really a pro or a con, just an observation.Finally, overall build quality. They cost £16, what do you expect. They feel light and plasticky. The cables are also not braided like it looks in the pictures, it's just a textured rubber. When I buy a pair of earphones, I consider good value to be £2.50 per month of daily use, so for these, I'd expect them to last a little over 6 months, and that seems reasonable based on their build quality. Since I'm not using them any more though, go check out some other reviews to see how long they lasted for other people.
