I accidentally ran these through the laundry machines and they still work! Very impressed.

Like other reviews, I agree that there is a constant static when sound is playing through the earbuds. In addition, the microphone does not pick up sounds well.

Constant static when connected to laptop makes these headphones unusable. I was buying a pair with a lightning connector to use with my phone when I saw these. Belkin used to make great stuff but I'm not sure I will be giving them another chance in the future.

Nice to sign but they don't always work. They work about 25% of the time for the amount of money I paid. I'd really like it if they worked 100% of the time

Let me preface this review by saying that I ONLY buy Belkin accessories and products for my needs. I trust Belkin's quality and reliability. However, these earbuds are not up to par. There is a constant static/hissing noise in the background that's very very noticeable without any audio playing but also noticeable when there IS audio playing. Additionally, even on max volume the audio being played sounds distant and not very loud and the static/hissing noise gets even more noticeable in the background. I tested these in multiple phones with the exact same results. I honestly thought I had gotten a defective unit so I exchanged it for another pair but I had the exact same experience, again testing in multiple phones. I then got the OEM-branded earbuds of a major Android manufacturer (not sure if I'm allowed to name them so I will leave it at that) and the sound quality was significantly better. So overall this is just not a usable product in any way and I'm surprised that Belkin would release a product like this.

Picked these up to have a more reliable alternative to wireless earbuds for my phone. When anything is playing they sound fine, but during quiet sections of songs/podcasts or when the volume is turned very low, there's a distinct constant hissing sound. It's distracting enough that I would return the product if I were able to, and will probably refrain from using them if I have any other alternative. Otherwise they seem to perform fine - the in-ear fit isn't great, but that's significantly less of a concern with wired headphones.

I received a demo pair and they seemed adequate with a decent fit and sound. The USB VID/PID were not a known value so perhaps they were preproduction.

It plugs right into the USB C connector and works great. Very simple very direct

These earbuds are good, not perfect, but they're good. In terms of the build quality, these earbuds are durable. The cable is rubber and the connector part to the USB-C won't wear down for a while. The only concern I would have for the build quality is the metal cover on the inside of the earbud itself. It looks like a cheap cover and after it gets dirty it could cause issues when trying to clean it. Another potential issue that you may come across is the fitting in your ears. If you have very ears that require a very specific fit, such as mine, they may not stay in your ears very well regardless of which fitting you choose. After about 15 minutes I have to adjust them and put them back in. The sound quality of these earbuds are good. The have good volume and has a good balance of treble and bass and has a good midrange. Basically, you get what you pay for with these earbuds for the sound. They're not going to blow you away but I don't see a need to complain about the quality, overall good sound.

While Bluetooth headphones get better and better, I still find wired headphones to be the best, reliable option for business communications. This pair is a great solution for my increasing array of devices that support USB-C. This pair has become my go to particularly for my Chromebook.

There are several nice features that make the Rockstar headphones a great choice for current phones without headphone jacks. They connected easily to the usb c port on both my Galaxy S8 and my 2019 version of the Galaxy TabA. The simple inline control buttons managed volume on both devices. The pause/start button also worked on both to pause music as well as video if using a video service. I have not used the Rockstars much to utilize the built in phone controls and microphone. My limited trial of these features did prove to work fine as far as I can tell both answering/disconnecting the call. In call quality seems fine. There is a holder where the wires split to secure one of the ear pieces if you only want to listen on one side. Sound quality is better than expected at this price range. I did tweak my audio settings to achieve a little richer sound. While these are not noise canceling the snug fitting ear pieces block a lot of ambient sound. There are three sets of tips included so everyone should be able to find a size that fits them well. After using these for awhile, I'm confident that the Rockstar headphones should take the abuse of everyday use and provide a good listening experience for quite awhile.

I'm always on the hunt for good earbuds. These are good for longer than most. Audio quality is great, however comfort is average for earbuds.

Nice USB-C headphones. Feel comfortable. Although it's a quality product, I think it's trending toward wireless earbuds.

I got them a week ago and I usually do like the way earbuds fit in my ear. I was very surprised how comfortable they are. sound is great as well.

I've used these headphones for about a month, including using them while traveling for work. Plugging the Rockstar Headphones into my phone's USB-C port worked the first time without messing with settings on the phone. And the inclusion of three sizes of ear buds was a nice touch. I'd definitely recommend these headphones for anyone who wants a quick and easy way to listen to their device.

Product constructions and feel are good. Nice set of headphones to have around when I'm not using a wireless pair.

needed a replacement for the headphones that came with my cell phone. The Belkin Rockstar USB-C was a great choice. It has a long tangle free cord with in line volume control and upgraded sound quality that did not break my budget. The sound is clean and voices reproduce accurately. I enjoy listening to these headphones during my my long daily train ride to block out the train noise and listen to both music and my audiobooks during my commute. The Rockstar's isolate exterior sound very well and have a snug but comfortable fit. They are very water resistant and easy to store. I just wind up the cord and put in my pocket.

These have been great headphones. They come with three different earbud tips, so you can find the right fit. Once the right size is selected they stay put and are comfortable. Audio quality is great. The highs could have been a little better. But the bass was awesome, especially for their size. Volume, track and voice/phone control is available on the right headphone wire. A few drawbacks include the shape of the cable. I can see how the flat wires might be better but I dislike them. They seemed to catch on things more easily than the round wires I've had in the past. They also didn't get loud enough. I don't listen to them at "ear bleeding" volumes but I like to have the option. Overall very well constructed, excellent quality headphones.

I couldn't wait to receive these! When I did I instantly took them out of the box to try. I like how they plug right into the charging port, it saves from having multiple wires in. I definitely recommend this product. The sound quality for music and calls is pretty good.

I got these and instantly hated them because they were corded and who wants that now. So I through them in my work bag and moved on. Until of course I needed them because my wireless ones died. Great set of headphones, the sound is actually noticeably better than my bluetooth. They are well designed.

I really liked the lightweight aspect of the headphones. Also the fact that these do not tangle is a pretty nice addition as well. I would say the only negative to the headphones is that there is not really a way to adjust the different sound aspects, such as treble, bass, or mid-ranges either... But overall for the price, I would say these are okay.

Convenient if your phone doesn't have a headphone jack but sound quality is nothing spectacular. Not spacious at all. They sound decent but you could find a good pair at a gas station (with a headphone Jack instead of USB-C connection) that sound just as good. I used a couple different streaming services to do my evaluation.

These earphones make a loud sound if you walk with them in. It seems to be a reverberation from the cable. I had to turn up my music louder to drown it out,

I really like using these headphones. They are very comfortable to wear. I like how the ear part is curved for extra comfort. The sound quality is excellent. The volume is easy to access and use on the cord as well. These are small and easy to store. They're my favorite pair of headphones to date!

I have to be honest, I had gotten used to my wireless buds and was skeptical of going back to wired. But I love them. They are comfortable. They have great sound. No fade in certain positions, or environments. I was very frustrated with buds that are not "loud" enough. While my S10+ still has a conventional jack, the USB-C connector worked perfectly. It clicks and locks with No Slop. I am very impressed with the quality. I have used this product for a couple weeks on both walks and cycle rides with great results. The different sized bud adapters work great too. I love these!
