What we can tell you
About as cheap as a headphone gets, and it carries a retailer rating from thousands of reviews, which almost nothing else here does. Wired, 3.5 mm, with an inline microphone and no cancellation. The specification is nearly empty because the retailer’s table did not render on the page we fetched and the manufacturer’s site refuses every request.
What the specifications favour
- A retailer rating from thousands of reviews
- An extremely low price, with an inline microphone
- Nothing to charge or pair
What to check before you buy
- No active noise cancellation
- Almost nothing is published for it, so nearly every specification row is empty
