rather than removing the headphone jack which seems to be a trend lately they actually threw in a pair of premium earbuds in with every phone so instead of getting a crappy pair of gas-station gummies you actually get these opinion by AKG which is a pretty well known and trusted audio manufacturer they meet somewhere in between cheap and premium which considering that they cost $99 alone makes sense the earbuds and control module are made of a glossy hard plastic and the earbuds have an angled tip to them that shoots sound down into your ears just a little bit better they don't offer the best noise isolation so you're still going to hear the people next to you and your commute unless you swap out the ear tips of something a little better than the plastic ones that they come with but they do have a solid feeling mic and remote it's thin and does a good job of staying out of the way without weighing down the ear buds and the buttons are super clicky I was never left wondering if I actually click the button or not the growing trend in smartphones seems to be removing the headphone jack for some reason but as you mentioned earlier Samsung kept a standard on the Galaxy S 8 thank God you can plug into anything that has a 3.5 millimeter input be it your phone gaming console or musical instrument with a name like AKG attached to these headphones I was expecting the sound quality to really impress me but they were kind of a mixed bag they said to be warned these might not be for you so there is a pretty good low-end there isn't too much detail and they're also not overpowering they stay nicely beneath the mids but gritty basses like the one in vanish in our sleep by Rob Roy sounds more like your average bass guitar it just loses a bit of death
