For $10, they're "ok". To be honest, they remind me of the "AKG" buds that Samsung packs with their Galaxy phone line starting with the S8; except they sound thinner, a bit harsh, and tinnier in the treble frequencies. More or less, they have the same tuning concept as those buds do, but they're not as sweet or musical and much more strident and a little hollow. These aren't anything crazy, but what in the world would you expect from $10 ear buds...you know? I've heard better, and I've heard worse. They'll be good for the gym and work as a decent pair of low budget IEMs. Build quality is...well it's there and it isn't falling apart yet. The cable is cheap, the tips are ok, and the machining is nice enough considering the price.
But in short...they almost sound like a bad version of the Samsung/AKG pack-ins for Galaxy phones. Buy if you want a cheap IEM that you can toss around and won't be sad about losing. Otherwise, save up for something better if you truly want more than just a useable $10 cheapo IEM...spend more and you'll do better.
