As far as the design goes these earphones have an edge over the others ones on this list thanks to its minimalistic contemporary design which gives you a feeling of premium quality at first glance. The cable is not branded but has a flat style to it, which is better than the regular one in our opinion.
The speaker drivers are not up to par, at least not to earphone on this list, which is mostly 10mm and the last ones being 15mm speaker drivers. These earphones have 8mm drivers which give out pretty clear audio and decent bass. So people who love bass in their earphone might want to skip these ones.
