Shoppers say these headphones rival Beats — and they're down to $20 at Amazon
With soft ear cups, a foldable design and a matte finish, they're both practical and stylish.
Big-brand headphones can be super expensive — like, more than $200 type of expensive. But that's in large part because of high-end features you might not necessarily ever use. If what you want is reliable, comfortable and wireless cans, then iJoy Wireless Headphones — on sale at Amazon for $20 — could be the solution for you.
According to over 57,000 (!) Amazon reviewers, these headphones deliver excellent audio and then some. The jaw-dropping low price makes this purchase a no-brainer.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
Some fans say they prefer these headphones to big-name brands like Sony and Beats — headphones that'll likely set you back $200 to $400. Sure, you'll miss out on some features, but fans say the iJoy headphones are more comfortable and are close in terms of sound. And when it comes to spending $20 or $400, it's a clear choice. They're also available in six other colors with prices varying, but no more than a few dollars.
Why do I need this? 🧐
With soft ear cups, a foldable design and a matte finish, these headphones are a great mix of practicality and style. The built-in microphone allows you to answer calls from your phone. Charging is fast and strong. And there are physical controls for the usual functions: play, pause, track and volume. How's this for an awesome bonus? These iJoy rechargeable headphones also have a built-in radio receiver! A mode switch takes them from Bluetooth to FM radio.
What reviewers say 💬
Of course, the most important aspect of any pair of headphones is sound quality, and the iJoy really delivers — more than 57,000 shoppers give these a five-star rating.
Pros 👍
"I love these, the sound is about as good as my Beats and for the fantastic price they are better," said an enthusiastic shopper. "I'm a music therapist so I've had years of ear training in University and performances. I can tell a little difference from my Beats but the average person probably won't. I use these for watching tv late at night so I don't disturb my husband who isn't a night owl like me."
“They hold their charge for several hours and the sound is very clear,” wrote one five-star fan. "I didn’t realize that they also had the ability to receive and play FM radio on their own (with static) so was kind of strange experience when I hit the pause button on my audiobook and started hearing music and talking (I reconnected my phone and the Bluetooth took over again fine)."
This shopper put it best: "These headphones have an amazing sound! Seriously reminds me of surround sound in a movie theater. Amazing sound!! Very comfortable on my head and ears too!! Earpieces are very cushiony!"
Cons 👎
"The only con I have experienced is that if I wear them for a longer period of time, at some point my ears (on the outside) will start to hurt a bit," revealed one reviewer. "But that’s not a deal breaker. I just take it as a sign to either take them off or switch to my AirPods."
Another reviewer agreed: "The headphones do hurt my ears a bit after a couple hours, but maybe my ears are on the bigger side."
These over-ear headphones are also available in eye-popping colors like pink, lime and orange.
