Flares® JET

Brilliant! Solid sound and build. Excellent value and product. Highly recommended.

Bought for the intention of using on flights (work great at low volume, blocks out background noise and no buzz like active noise cancelling earphones/pids) but I find I use them for most audio listening in a public environment. So they’ve exceeded my expectations and I have nothing but positives on the sound quality. They come with three silicone cups to provide a range of fit to meet your ear shape/size. My one quibble is with the fit on one ear. I wouldn’t attempt a run for sure and walking even causes the bud to slip out of the ear. It may be down to the wrong size silicone cup or simply my ear anatomy. Time will tell. I didn’t notice any noise effect from the rubbing of the cable on clothes like other reviews have mentioned. The quality of materials used and the build quality seems to be very high. Delivery lead time was ok and tracked all the way. But 4 stars down to fit issue.

Since being such a big fan of the Flare Calmer Earplugs for the past year, I decided to give these earphones a go after my own ones stopped working, and I'm so glad I did! The sound is incredible through them - I'm a classical double bassist and realised that with these I could hear so much detail when listening back to recordings of concerts I've played in and am so impressed with the bass sound especially. They were work on my phone as well as my laptop, and I'm hearing music in more detail then I've ever heard before. When listening back to voice recordings they're so clear you can hear the person breathe! They are also very good at blocking out external sound when you've got them in - not completely noise-cancelling but very close. I also use them for phone calls and Zoom meetings and the microphone seems to work very well too, and I can hear everything so clearly. I got the small Flare Hard Case as well originally for my earplugs but found that it's the perfect size for keeping my earphones safe in my bag. I'd definitely recommend the Jets, I bought them when they were on sale but I would say they're worth the price either way - I don't think I'll be able to go back to anything else!
