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. (Only the black headphones are discounted.)
Why is it a good deal? 💰
Some fans say they prefer these headphones to other, 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 come close in terms of sound. And when it comes to spending $17 or $400, it’s a clear choice.
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 👍
“They hold their charge for several hours and the sound is very clear,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “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). The headphones do hurt my ears a bit after a couple hours, but maybe my ears are on the bigger side.”
Another reviewer put it best: “These headphones really deliver!! I wanted headphones to use in bed because my husband goes to bed really early and I wanted to be able to watch a movie or something in bed without waking him up. 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 👎
“I love these headphones!” wrote another reviewer. “I love the sound quality, and they seem to do a great job at canceling the outside noise (at least for me). I tend to have them on for about 4-5 hours a day. 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, but that’s not a deal breaker. I just take it as a sign to either take them off or switch to my AirPods. Overall though, they’re worth it!”
“Probably the best headphones I have gotten,” another shopper shared. “They’re nice and comfortable and pretty loud too. The only con I have [is] people can hear your music when it’s too loud but overall I would buy them again.”
With a six-month warranty and a built-in radio receiver, these headphones can go the distance.
