My Reason for Buying

I've been using these earbuds at home for over a year now, and I'm really happy with them. Most of my work is done from home, but sometimes I head to the office, and that's when I have to use the earbuds provided by my employer - let's just say they're not the most comfortable.

Sades SA-721 Spirits White 2024Overall, they do get the job done, but they're super uncomfortable on my head. They don't fit well, and if I wear them for an extended period, my ears and even my neck start to ache. And considering my job involves long calls, it's not uncommon for me to wear them for over an hour. After that, it's hard to focus because everything feels like it's throbbing.

Sades SA-721 Spirits White 2024So, I decided to look for some affordable, simple, and soft earbuds that would allow me to work comfortably without any discomfort. And, as it turned out, I found not only comfortable and soft earbuds but also super cute ones!

Sades SA-721 Spirits White 2024Packaging

The packaging is pretty standard - a box, albeit a cute one, in the same colors as the earbuds. There was no additional protection inside, just the earbuds lying in a transparent pouch. My advice would be to open the earbuds and check if they're intact before buying. There's a risk of damage during transportation, especially since these earbuds aren't exactly built to last.

Sades SA-721 Spirits White 2024Features

Now let's talk about the features. These are wired headphones, no wireless option here, and to be honest, I wasn't even considering that. The diameter of the membrane is pretty big, so my ear is fully covered and nothing's pressing on it. Since these are computer headphones, they've got a microphone, and it's pretty easy to adjust – you can just lift it up when you don't need it.

Sades SA-721 Spirits white 2024I've got to say, the microphone button is a bit of a weird design choice for me – I prefer sliders, but it's not the end of the world. The volume control is the usual wheel, and the length of the headphones is 1.2 meters, which is perfect for plugging them into the back of my PC. I've got a bit of extra length left over, so I can move around and grab something from the nearby shelf.

Sades SA-721 Spirits white 2024Price

I paid 1550 rubles for these headphones, which is basically a steal. I mean, sure, there's a big difference between these and the 7,000-ruble options, but these ones seem pretty solid. If you're not a hardcore audiophile, you won't notice a huge difference in sound quality. And they're pretty comfortable to wear.

Sades SA-721 Spirits white 2024Control

I've got to say, the control layout is a bit weird for me – I'm used to having the controls on the cable, so I can adjust the volume or turn on the mic at any time. Here, all the buttons are on the back of the left headphone, which takes some getting used to. But after a while, you get used to it, and it's not a huge deal.

Sades SA-721 Spirits white 2024 headphonesI've got a bunch of headphones, and I'm always fumbling for the right pair. When I'm using these, my hand automatically reaches for them, and when I'm using the others, I'm like, 'Wait, where's the other one?' It's a habit thing, really. But for me, the little button on the cord for the mic is a lifesaver. It's so much easier to see if it's on or off without any confusion during calls. Other than that, it's all about getting used to the controls.

Sades SA-721 Spirits white 2024 headphonesBuild quality

I'd give the build quality a 6 out of 10. For the price, it's decent. The headphones are put together okay, with normal clips and a decent mic mechanism. There aren't any loose ends or uneven edges. The issue is more with the material – the plastic is pretty thin, and if you're not careful, these headphones won't last long.

Sades SA-721 Spirits white 2024 headphonesThey're pretty fragile, to be honest. If you stretch them too far, they'll snap in two. And if you sit on them, it's not going to end well. But I guess that's the trade-off for the super-lightweight design. My other headphones with metal accents are way heavier. And let's be real, these are only 1500 rubles – you can't expect too much for that price.

Sades SA-721 Spirits white 2024 headphonesAudio quality

I'd give the audio quality a solid 4 out of 5. The headphones don't hiss or crackle, and the sound is clean and clear. But don't expect any mind-blowing bass or incredible sound quality. It's just... sound. Perfect for listening to music in the background or participating in calls with colleagues – my voice comes through loud and clear, and I can hear everyone else just fine. But if you're looking for immersive sound from movies, you're out of luck. In short, the sound is just... there.

Sades SA-721 Spirits white 2024 headphonesHow comfortable are they to wear?

Yeah, the headphones sit really well on my head. They're not too heavy, so they don't cause any discomfort, and the soft padding on top is just right – not too tight, but not too loose either. It's super comfortable.

Sades SA-721 Spirits White 2024Another thing I really like is that my ears are fully enclosed in the headphones, and the padding doesn't press on my ear canal or the area around my temples. That's a total plus for me, especially for long video calls – I don't get any discomfort. Nothing's pressing on my head, and the headphones don't look too bulky either.

Sades SA-721 Spirits White 2024How dirty do they get?

Now, here's one of the downsides of the light color – they show stains really easily. They look great, but any small smudges are super noticeable. The pink insert that rests on my head is particularly prone to getting dirty, as are the blue parts of the headphones – that's because I'm always touching those areas when I adjust the headphones, and that's where the dirt and oil from my face or hair tend to accumulate.

Sades SA-721 Spirits White 2024Even with regular cleaning, some dirt will inevitably accumulate over time. So, I just wipe them down with a damp cloth every week or so, and sometimes I'll use a wet wipe and then dry them off with a soft cloth. The key is to catch any major stains ASAP, or they'll leave behind ugly marks.

Sades SA-721 Spirits White 2024My takeaways

Personally, I'm really happy with these headphones. They're lightweight, comfy, and look pretty cute. I even thought about gifting them to a friend for Christmas – they're a great option for kids, too, since they're foldable and don't require any earbuds.

Sades SA-721 Spirits White 2024 HeadphonesI've gotta say, these things are a bit too big to sleep with, so you'll probably end up taking them off before bed. But don't worry, they're not too heavy, and you can adjust them to fit a kid's head - there's some extra room for tweaking. Plus, the sound quality is great, the design is cute, and the price is pretty reasonable. It's a solid gift idea, if you ask me.

Sades SA-721 Spirits White 2024 HeadphonesThe Verdict

These headphones are a great value for the price - they're not too flashy, but they get the job done. Sure, they can get a bit dirty, but that's an easy fix. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking them out, and I'm giving them a solid 5 stars.
