Sol Republic JAX In-Ear Headphones with 1-Button Mic & Music Control - Electric Blue | Noise Isolating Earbuds for Running, Gym & Commuting

I first bought these headphones while at Best Buy. I was tired of using cheaper headphones and wanted to see what life was like when using slightly better ones. I wanted to primarily use these alongside my phone. Unfortunately, my phone was outdated enough that the headphones didn't work with it. I still used them with my computer, and was very pleased with the sound quality.When I finally did get a new phone, I tried them out on it and it works fine. I don't use the mute button that much and find it often snags on things and ends up ripping the headphones from my ears. They're much easier to untangle than your standard headphones.I used these headphones all the time, I liked them... but I didn't love them. I just saw them as headphones. I usually buy a pair and then once I'm done with them, I just purchase some other brand I find on the shelf.What really made me love these headphones? Late one night, I was getting frustrated because I could not find my headphones anywhere. Did I leave them at work or school? Well, no. I had them earlier that day. Did I leave them in the car? Nope. I was getting furious. I suddenly remembered. I left them in my sweatshirt. And my sweatshirt was... in the washer. I was bummed, these headphones were great and I probably completely ruined them. I pulled the soggy sweatshirt from the washer with shaking hands. I reached into the pockets. The headphones looked fine. I left them alone for the night to dry out. I woke up the next morning, dreading to see what happened to the sound quality. I held my breath while I plugged them into my phone and hit play. They sounded just like they did a week before. They were just fine. I've washed other headphones before, and they were ruined. Nope, not these. That's when I knew I loved these headphones. They went through the wash again (by accident) and still, they work just fine.I sadly lost them to some abyss later on and bought another pair from Amazon shortly after. They too went through the wash and worked just fine. I'm not saying everyone should wash these headphones, but it's good to know if they accidentally go through that they'll be fine.
