House of Marley is a relatively new player on the audio scene, having been founded by Bob Marley's son Rohan in 2008. The company focuses on consumer audio and most of their output is portable and designed with the distinct House of Marley look. Today we'll look at the [...]

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

Smile

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

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

holding off a final egg until at least six months goes by without them breaking... at which point i'll update and raise or lower the score... i've had a hard time finding phones that last even one year.

good bass; right angle connector; nice cord; button works with android; mic works; comrfortable; decent build quality; decent price

the whole "eco" thing feels a little cheap; the phones are made in china like everything else, and i figure they're made in the same slave labor/ slash/ burn methods as all other elctronics junk; the whole bob-marley, hippie thing feels a bit disingenuous

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

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.

This is a very decent set of headphones, good yet not too lively sound. However, the size adjustments are limited, a bit on the small side for an adult male head. My girlfriend uses them now more then me.

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 House of Marley Smile Jamaica headphones feature amazing build quality for a very small price; The bass response is full without becoming "one note" or bloated; The features are well-thought-out with a one-button mic remote, which works for iOS and Android and a fabric wrapped cord

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

If you're looking for a bit less bass and a bit more balance for under $50, good luck; intense, boosted bass seems to be the name of the game. However, you can find pairs with more gym-friendly designs, like the Skullcandy Method, the Scosche SportClip 3 , and the JVC HA-ETR40 .

Powerful, clean audio performance geared toward bass lovers; Green materials including FSC-certified wood and recyclable aluminum

Massive bass presence overpowers high-mids and highs; Light on accessories

Great sound and good battery life, however disconnects frequently, connection drops out at least once per song. Disappointing coming from the Skull Candy Method Wireless
