Interfering device searches when cables rub against clothes.
Bought 3 years ago, now already loose contact. Sometimes I hear only on one side what until I turn the plug a little.
But what has bothered me since the beginning is the choice of material for the cable. The rough surface of the cable creates an annoying noise when it comes in contact with clothes or other surfaces, as the stiffness of the cable conducts the vibration all the way to the ear cups. Since I often listen to music while cooking or eating, the noise that occurs every time the cable moves is distracting.

Good value for money
I'm completely satisfied with the headphones so far, the sound quality can keep up with comparable products from other manufacturers, but the materials look and feel better. I would like an even simpler version without the microphone and buttons, but so far these haven't bothered me either (I've had bad experiences with other brands). I hope my headphones last a long time, I can't judge that yet.
House of Marley has sensible, sustainable packaging, that's for sure.Pro
- Sounds good
- Beautiful and high-quality looking
- Well thought-out packaging without plastic
- Good value for money
Simply my favourite, despite one flaw
Pro
- Sound
- Fabric cord
- Angled jack plug
Contra
- The wire at the base of the earphones tears the rubber tip
Great at the beginning - unattractive later
The headphones look great and I used them every day on the annex. Unfortunately, the sleeves have shifted and damaged the cable. The only solution: cut open the sleeves.
Pro
- Beautiful design
- Great sleeves (optical)
- Audi quality
Contra
- Sleeves tear / break
Ok for under 25, too expensive above that
Pro
- Good price
- Voices are reproduced clearly
Contra
- Microphone leaves a lot to be desired
- has too little bass for me
Super cool, very inexpensive, stable and well made. Sound and microphone mediocre but ok.
Good in the past, quality declines today
Aesthetic headphones, which are okay in terms of sound quality. Unfortunately, the cable protection no longer serves its purpose. This has never happened with previous models. In general, cable headphones are quite susceptible to breaking quickly. I find them more practical than Blutooth because they don't get lost so quickly thanks to the cable. But it might make sense to change them slowly.
Pro
- Aesthetic
- Sound quality good
Contra
- Cable protection no longer fulfils purpose (see picture)
- Unfortunately, cable headphones have always been somewhat fragile and break down (too) quickly.
Price/Performance Top
Pro
- Price
- Very loud
- good quality
Contra
- does not have so much depth
Yum on the outside, yum on the inside
The presentation of the headphones is sustainably designed. The wood gives a nice effect, the colorful cable is also nice.
In terms of sound, however, the earphones are quite poor for their price. The rough cable transmits noise from rubbing against clothes. Sometimes the speakers even crackle. The bass is also less pronounced than comparable products. If you want better sound for less money, you should go for the JBL T110.Pro

fully ok
The color is not the same as it is displayed. It is a lot uglier. The quality is ok.

Good wired in-ear headset for devices with OMTP contact assignment at the 3.5mm TRRS jack.
I already had the same model in a different color ("Copper" with the white-grey cable jacket), which I enjoyed using for several years. Unfortunately, I misplaced or lost this one, which is why I repurchased it and now decided to go with the "Rasta" color scheme in black + Jamaica flag colors. I like this dark cable sheathing much better, and I'm hoping it's less likely to look muddy from handling. (The white and gray cable sheathing, after a few years, had brownish shadows on the parts of the cable that you touch with your fingers more often during use. Whether this could be cleaned somehow, I do not know).
The earplug parts seem with their material and color combination a bit too motley.
The headphone sound is good, the microphone surprisingly passable.
The contact assignment is my guess according to "OMTP" convention, ie in TRRS order left-right microphone ground, not as with iPhones & co. according to "CTIA" convention (left-right ground microphone, cf. https://de.wikipedia.org/w...) ) Thus, they work with my Fairphone 2 and my Lenovo X1 Carbon 6th generation.Pro
- m.M.n. good sound
- works (unlike many other wired headphones with microphone) with Fairphone2
- nice cable colors (black with green-yellow-red accents)
- sturdy
- little to no cable tangle (tangles infrequently and little, can be unknotted very easily)
Contra
- somewhat fancy colors of the earbuds (lemon yellow brand logo on dark brown wooden case)
- a little bit chequered colours of the ear tips (bronze-metallic-red case finish with green rubber part)
- Assignment of the 3.5mm jack plug TRRS contacts neither on the package nor on the web apparent

Great chic travel companion
Pro
- Good quality
- Valuable , comfortable cable
- Nice and small
- Good sound
Please pack and ship in a padded envelope!
Dear Galaxus logistics team, pack these headphones with a bubble envelope and not in a normal paper envelope! The headphones were promptly crushed in the first shipment and just barely not in the second. The product is sustainable when it only has to be sent once. The environment thanks you. Sincerely, D
Light and very pleasant sound, well balanced. A touch of naturalness to finish
Pro
- Excellent sound
- good soundproofing against external noise
- natural design
- Lightweight
Quality great, other not so
The headphones are built great and also look chic. The sound is rather below average, have already found better in the price range. The supplied earplugs are a bit hard and sit with me not so good in the ear, they have then replaced with others and it went better,
Pro
- Build quality
- Feels high quality
Contra
- Uncomfortable
- Sounqualität is rather below the Durchschnit
Simply the best!
Looking for quality, long-lasting headphones? You've found them! I've had them for over 2 years. They still work perfectly!
Pro
- reliability
OK design, insufficient sound
I bought the Smile Jamaica headphones as a successor to the defective Sony MDR-EX110AP because I wanted to test them. For work (film/sound) I use high-end hi-fi headphones, for travelling I use inexpensive in-ears.
While the sound quality of the Sony MDR-EX110AP is just about okay, I find the Smile Jamaica insufficient. The sound image is muddy, lacking clarity in all pitches. The microphone was rarely used for phone calls, where it was not convincing. The design, on the other hand, is appealing and they are basically comfortable too.
If you are looking for cheap headphones, I can therefore rather recommend the Sony MDR-EX110AP. In principle, however, it is worthwhile to buy more expensive, higher quality in-ears. See models from Sennheiser & Beyerdynamic, for example.Pro
- Cheap
- Design
- Comfortable
Contra
- Unbalanced sound
- Insufficient sound quality
- Micro insufficient
Good headphones for a reasonable price
Top headset for this price. The cables make noise when touched. This is not annoying when listening to music, but it is annoying when talking on the phone.

- tepid cable noise
Pleasant
Soilde headphones for the price range!
My 1st choice
Super acoustic insulation, noises from outside hardly audible. Very good quality, last 1.5-2 years with daily use.
Top price-performance ratio!
Nothing to complain about for this price.
Good headphones Can't complain for the price.
Be sure to take out insurance, as the headphones regularly break after about a year.

Quite pretty, but unusable for me
Wanted:
In-ear headphones for listening to music and making phone calls on the go
Workmanship:
Wood and textile cables basically feel good, but there is some fringing with the drill holes in the wood pieces and the textile cables tend to tangle/knot even more than their rubber cousins.
Sound quality:
Sound is pretty thin and virtually bass-less by default. After some fine-tuning on the equalizer, however, it is quite pleasant with passable highs and lows.
Micro:
The microphones of the usual in-ear headphones are never of particularly good quality, but with this pair I get the feedback from practically everyone I talk to that all the ambient noise is significantly louder than my voice (and I am by no means speaking softly or unclearly).
-> Unfortunately, this makes these headphones completely unusable for me.Pro
- Haptics
- Sound quality ok
Contra
- Processing moderate
- Micro unusable
Would buy again
Good price/performance ratio
Recommended purchase.
Robust cable, nice design, angle helps, silicon diameter could be bigger. Powerful bass, pleasant treble. In one sentence: why buy expensive ones when it can be a lot cheaper but not necessarily cheaper?
Pro
- Cable quite robust
- Bass
Contra
- They like to slide
