Design and features:These earphones have an integrated microphone and volume, music player function, and call connect/disconnect controls for use with paired Bluetooth devices. Additional features include flexible collar can be rolled up so that the earphone can be stuck in a pocket. This model comes with two pairs of ear pieces of various sizes and a USB charging cable.
Sound quality: We found the Ink'd Wireless delivers sound quality that falls in the good range - it reproduces music and voice reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. The overall sound can best be summarized as bassy and somewhat hazy and grainy. Bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep, but is prominent and boomy. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is fairly even but somewhat hazy and grainy, and is somewhat overwhelmed by the bass. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is fairly extended, but somewhat subdued and slightly smeared (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer sound blurred). While the sound has a good sense of liveliness it is somewhat closed-in -- sound-wise it is somewhat obvious that you have something plugging up your ears.
Comfort: We found that these earphones fit and stay in place with no problems, and the collar is not generally noticeable and is very convenient unless it interferes with clothing. As typical of in-ear models these earphones do produce a sense of pressure in the ear opening might be uncomfortable for some. When the earphones are not in the ears they dangle from the collar and rest on the chest where they will swing out away from the body when leaning over; this can be bothersome, lead to the earphones getting tangled, or expose them to damage.
