I got these earbuds because I used to have this exact pair when I first got my Samsung phone years ago, and I remembered the quality being decent. Having them again, I can say with confidence that these earbuds are definitely worth it and I recommend buying these instead of the lower quality cheaper versions. The sound quality is really good, and as a person who gets annoyed when my earbuds suck at picking up the low ends of songs, I think these are really nice. Not only am I able to lay down without it hurting my ears, but the little plastic piece that let's you control the volume is pretty convenient.Now, for the story you're probably waiting for (and what made me want to write this review). The other day after placing some clothes in the washing machine, I realized that I forgot my earbuds in one of my pockets to my sweatpants - which were being soaked with water. Luckily the washing machine was still filling up with water and wasn't doing else that could add to the damage, but when I fished them out they were wet. Panicked, I quickly tried my best to dry them using a towel and a few q-tips and let them sit for an hour. Internally I was ready to just buy another pair since I thought they were done for, but when I plugged them back in for a test, they worked perfectly fine! The quality remained the same, the buttons still worked, and even the mic still sounded good. I think the reason they were able to survive is because the cord for these earbuds is actually really durable (plus they weren’t under water for too long) but this proved that there's room for mistakes with these things. All in all I'm relieved I didn't have to buy another pair and I highly recommend these earbuds. :)
