I did my testing of the Jobsite model they sent me for review using my Amazon Kindle Fire HDX table as I don't own a smartphone. They are definitely heavy duty with very nice braided cables and extra soft padding around the ears. This is where most around the ear ones fail. I have tried many others with this feature and they hurt your ears after a short time of wearing. Listening quality was excellent. Liked the EQ/Voice control switch on this model. Nice soft tips, I especially liked the cone shaped ones. The case they come in was definitely very rugged too. I give these earbuds 5 out of 5 with a prices ranging from $39.99 - $79.99 on Mizco Store. They also carry a excellent line of braided audio and USB cables, device cases, car / wall / solar chargers, handsfree bluetooth, USB power extenders besides these audio devices available on Amazon Store or Mizco links.
