Smart; unique looks Good for pop; hip hop and electronic music Made of quality materials Sweat-proof

Only two ear-tip sizes Case doesn't provide much protection

In an age where the headphone jack is increasingly endangered, a number of headphone manufacturers are releasing wireless options for those who find themselves lacking the 3.5mm port.

Balanced sound is great for the price; Good build quality

Poor battery life; Not for fans of big bass

Comfortable; Durable; Included ear tips mold the ear well; Great sound quality; Very affordable

No Volume Buttons; Cord could be thicker; Only two sets of ear tips

These headphone are well constructed. In the short time I have owned them they have worked well. Given the good construction, I think the price is excellent too.

We've had the opportunity to review House of Marley headphones and speakers in the past, and have always come away impressed. Their commitment to providing not only excellent sound, but responsibly and sustainably sourced materials make for a great set of products.

One good thing about these earbuds? When you buy them, you feel no pain

House of Marley is a relatively new entrant in the world of headphones, arriving at the end of 2011 and one of a crop of headphones using a celebrity musician -- in this case Bob Marley.

The bass can unduly dominate rock music or pop music; Other headphones have greater sparkle or detail; The cable can be microphonic

The price of this group of in earheadphones seems to vary according to their colour. With Midnight being nearly 50% more expensive than curry, here I am listening to a mid-range unit called Fire at least I think I am as the box has no part number.
