In my quest to review budget in-ear earphones, I've managed to dig up some very good products for kynghidongduong.vn less than $10, including the Panasonic ErgoFit RP-HJE120 and the JVC Gumy Plus. Next up on the list: iLuv's iEP322BLK City Lights earphones, which have received very favorable reviews on Amazon.



The City Lights have a similar design to both the Panasonic and the JVC, Tour Quế Lâm but this is a more bass-heavy earphone that's got some thump to it. I didn't like it as much as its more natural and balanced-sounding competitors, but if bigger bass is what you're after, Tour Quế Lâm you'll certainly get a lot of it for your money with this earphone.





Design and features

Like the ErgoFit RP-HJE120 and Gumy Plus, these are sort of hybrid earphones; part hard earbud like your basic Apple earbud and part soft bud. For all I know, they're all made in the same factory in China.



This model is available in several different color options and comes with three different-size pairs of silicone eartips. At this price, you're more apt to see hard-bud earphones, but being able to jam the soft tips into your ears helps with sound isolation and maximizes the bass output.

The City Lights are equipped with 13.5mm "Mega Bass" drivers, which would explain why its housing is a bit larger than the ErgoFit RP-HJE120, which has 9mm drivers.



While the iLuvs are comfortable and stayed in my ears well, I liked the fit of the Panasonics and JVCs a touch better.

As you might expect for a $7 pair of headphones, you don't get anything in the way of extras: no inline remote/microphone for making cell phone calls, nor any sort of carrying case.
