Intone Ms200 Stereo Low Bass Folding and Adjustable Headphone Earbuds - Black / Red

I like to wait a bit before posting a review for an item. It has been a few months since I've purchased these headphones and they are still holding up great. For the price range, these are definitely the best headphones you could purchase in the $20 range.Pros:-Great Price-Quality look and feel (People have mistaken them for expensive headphones many times)-Very comfortable to wear long-term-Thick cord-extremely important if you are rough on headphones and they frequently get caught in doors, bags, etc. These withstand the abuse.Cons:-For the price I will not complain, but for a thorough review I will list the sound quality. The sound is great most of the time, but often you may need to adjust your equalizer settings for songs to get it just right. These are great for working-out or transit, but if you're just focusing on the music it can be distracting fiddling with each track to sound good.Overall, these are fantastic headphones and so far have lasted longer than some of the more expensive headphones I've purchased.

These are the Chinese clones of the Jabra REVO, a well-reviewed audiophile headset that sells for around 100 bucks. Whether these are produced by the same manufacturer, or are just a pre-fab that share the same mold as those aforementioned cans, either way you'd probably think the set internals are most likely identical between these two, especially after listening to the Intone 200's.What I'm saying is that these Sound Intone 200's are some of the nicest headpieces I've worn for under 20 bucks. And between you and me - I'm thinking that the REVO and these Intones might very well share the same internal HW. It sure sounds like they do, so color me impressed.The main differences that I can tell between the Jabra Revos and these Sound Intones is that the braided cable on the Revos is detachable and orange, where the braided cable on the Intones is black and non-detachable. The extender mechanism for both sets seems identical, though the Revos are aluminum metal where the Intones are plastic sprayed with chrome paint.These headphones are light weight with AMAZING sound! You hear so much presence in these things. I compared these phones to Beat Solo HD's at a big-box store; no comparison really. The Sound Intones are so much better, to my surprise. Clearer sound, and the base wasn't all muddied up.Next to a pair of Beats Studio Wireless, these hold up shockingly well. Of course the Beats are more comfortable to wear. And the bass is on another level, obviously. But the shocking part - not by much! These Intones are also capable of some thumping bass and are very comfortable as well. The highs are nearly identical between the Beats and Intones. This is more a problem with Beats; they lose sharpness in favor of more bass.The Intone 200's are on-ear designed, when compared next to the Beat Studio over-ear design, but you'd barely notice that fact when wearing them; they feel THAT good on you. Great faux-leather cup rims, with minimal clamp-down, as well.I still stand by my assumption; these are 100 dollar audiophile cans slightly toned down with the high-end branding removed. If that gets the price down to under twenty bucks, then so be it. Would be a perfect 5 stars, if not for the slightly flimsy, all plastic build. Still, you take care of these sets, and they will last you for awhile, I'd bet.

We bought this for our 5 year-old preschooler, who is using an iPad in his class. The ear covers are a soft plastic material, which makes it easy to wipe with sanitizer. The jack fits both an iPad mini and a regular iPad. It folds and is adjustable, which is very cool, especially for storing in a desk or schoolbag. What surprised us was the sound quality, though--as good as the brand names we all know and love, but for way less cost. The cord is covered with a braided cloth, which is nice for kids--less chance of nicks. We were able to write his name in silver Sharpie marker on the wide, padded headband. A very light headset, which is good for kids also. We found that heavier earphones make his neck hurt after a while. But with this sound quality, adjustable sizing, and long cord, we've been using it too. Will probably pick up a few more in the future. Nice set.
