Review:
Good earbuds with exceptionally strong bass
I was sent these Voix earphones for review and I think they are very good - and at the current price of under thirteen quid they are excellent value.
The earphones are very neatly (and unusually) packaged in a small, stylish tin, which makes a good, portable carry case. They have a choice of three sizes of silicone tips so you can position them comfortably in your ears. They seem well made in shiny black plastic, with a flat ribbon cable which gives almost no friction noise and doesn't tangle. They also have a proper gold-plated plug and decent strain relief so I'd expect them to last well.
Functionally they work well, with a microphone and a basic control button for the phone on the lead for accept/reject calls and pause/play. They are comfortable once you have selected the correct silicone tip and stay in place well. They also give a pretty good sound seal, keeping the world's noise out well and not leaking excessively.
The sound is very good for earphones at this price, with exceptionally strong bass. The middles are rich, but I do find the treble a little flat and indistinct. This may not bother you if you're looking for a real bass kick because these deliver amazing bass for the size and price, but I found classical music in particular did suffer a bit. I have a Test Playlist which I use for audio products beginning with 15th Century choral music, ending up with The Rolling Stones, Leonard Cohen and London Grammar and going through most things in between; these performed very well in rock and the like, and the deep, rolling bass in London Grammar's Hey Now sounded great, so my reservations about the sound in classical music may not affect you.
In summary, these are very good earphones at this price, giving good sound with a strong, slightly dominant bass. If that's a sound profile which suits you, these will serve very well as an everyday set of earbuds and I can recommend them.
