Introduction

 

Earpollution Plugz reduce ambient noise, have good sound quality at low levels and are comfortable to wear.  The plugz come with various earfit pieces but they are thin and fragile, so you’ll have to be careful switching them out.  The cord feels fragile and I wouldn’t suggest running them through your sleeve for jogging, it could tear and you’ll be without tunes for your jog.  All in all they are good for the price and with the ultra hip logo and color choices the Earpollution Plugz are a decent gift for those who are casual listeners of melodic and smooth music.

What I Learned

 

I like the Earpollution Plugz, the colors are stylish and they didn’t hurt my ear canal.  They fit well and since I don’t turn up the music, the sound quality was decent.  After sampling some Rap I was sourly disappointed and do not advise listening to anything with thumping bass.

 

Conclusion

 

Overall for the low price your going to get what you pay for, typical ear bud type sound, but with this product they’ll fit.
