Avantree Resolve (Large) – Wired Open-Ear Earbuds w/Mic & Over-Ear Hook, for Seniors & Men w/Large Ears, Great for Office, Outdoor & Home, 3.5mm AUX

I have been wanting some of these open ear earphones for sometime, but I do not like to use Bluetooth headsets in general, as I remain convinced that they're giving me headaches and things which is probably not correct, but there you go. first of all, there are quite a few reviews for this product already. So I'm hoping to add some extra details. For anybody needing to know about the cable length, it's very generous. You're looking at about 30 cm between the ears and the point where they join together on the cable and about 85 cm between the end of the cable where the they connect to your device and the joining of the left and right ear cable; so we're looking about 115 cm in total which is quite generous these days, and it means that a phone or some other device would be able to be kept in a trouser pocket without causing too much strain on the cable or for the earphones to be pulled. A clip is provided (attached) so that the microphone and volume adjustment buttons can be kept relatively stationary by clipping the wire to your shirt or coat or something like that. The microphone and buttons feed from the right earphone wire and not the left as is common. I don't know if this is important information for anybody, but it doesn't seem to get mentioned in any of the other reviews. As for the quality of the earphones they are very very lightweight. The other reviewers are correct. You would forget you were wearing them. You can hear as well as you would normally be able to hear the surrounding environment when there is no noise coming through the headphones. They absolutely do not impede your ears in anyway whatsoever. As a result of this, the sound quality is not the same as you would expect from a normal pair of headphones, but if you are looking for the sound quality from a normal pair of headphones, I would suggest you buy a normal pair of headphones. The sound quality from these earphones far surpasses the quality I was getting from bone conduction headphones and they do not have the annoying vibration effect, which almost tickles the side of my face when listening to any music which has any degree of bass to it. The sound quality from these earphones lacks deep bass altogether. You can correct the sound to some degree by using a graphic equaliser on your device, which may boost the bass very slightly, but do not expect it to replace the missing bass as these earphones are incapable of delivering those frequencies. This is not a fault of the product, but the nature of how the product is designed to interact with your ears. The lack of a seal between the drivers of the earphones, and your ears means that inevitably the lower frequencies are harder to hear. Anyway, sound quality is very subjective to the person who is used to varying degrees of quality headphones to begin with, and also to the context in which they are being used. You would not wear these headphones to listen to music for pleasure at home in your front room or treating yourself to a cheeky drink. You would listen to these headphones when you were doing something where being aware of your surroundings environment is priority. It is difficult to precisely describe the sound quality of their earphones, but I think the best way to describe them would be to imagine you have two very small portable speakers that have been put near your ears as opposed to headphones. If you have ever used those small passive speakers that did not require any power and used to be powered from things like a Walkman you will know what I am talking about. And for similar reasons to there being a lack of bass, there is also a lack of very high frequency response too as you can see from how I have adjusted my graphic a equaliser in the picture attached. so, in a nutshell, if sound quality is really important to you, more important than the ability to hear your environment around you when wearing earphones. Do not buy this product. It is absolutely not for you. If you are not expecting high-quality audio but want something that is more comfortable to use and better sound quality than bone conducting headphones that this is for you. I can imagine the target audience here are runners, joggers, cyclists, and people who need to be able to frequently talk to other people or just simply want to be able to go into shops and not have to keep taking the earphones out etc. Saying this, I found the sound quality to be good enough to enjoy listening to music in such situations. Not only that, but the volume level is high enough that I do not have to run the audio device on full volume. This may change depending on the environment you are using them in. For example, if you are using them on the bicycle on a busy main road, you may want to have them on full volume in order to be able to hear your music or podcast. If you are listening to spoken word podcasts out and about it would be a good idea to find some application back to some kind of dynamic range compression anyway to keep the voices are so loud volume at all times as it is podcasts and spoken word recordings that are most likely to be drowned out by environmental noise. I have included a picture of one of these earphones on my ear. I did read some of the reviews when somebody said that they couldn't understand why anyone would need the medium to large size as the small size would fit anybody without humongous "dobby ears". This is absolutely not true. These ear phones are big enough for my ears as a big person (, 6' 5") but anything much smaller definitely would not work for me. I have also included the graphic equaliser settings that I use on my music player in order to make these earphones sound optimal. I give the product five stars here, because it meets all the criteria that they set out to achieve and the quality of the item appears to be good and the price of the item appears to be very competitive. I haven't tried it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was comfortable to sleep in these earphones as has been suggested by other people who have reviewed them. Obviously, if you have small ears you may want to look for the other version of this product which is for people with small ears. This one is the one to get if you have the head and ears of a generally medium to big person. The other advantage of this kind of earphone is that they do not intrude into the ears in anyway whatsoever, and as there is no ear pad across the ear lobes, they do not heat up the ears. If you have problems like I do with using earbud type earphones, i.e. the ones that get shoved right into the ear canal, causing irritation and a blockage and things like that then these will also be very useful for you. for me, it is either earphones like these or ginormous full over-ear earphones which are not always practical to be taken out and about. also keep in mind if you are thinking of using this product in an environment such as an office or a bus or train then the level of leakage from these earphones is higher than you would expect from earbuds or even on ear headphones. You would need to keep the volume quite low if you did not want to disturb fellow workers. Obviously if you are going to use these to take phone calls then other people may be able to hear both sides of the conversation. This might not be a problem to you, but it is something to consider.

I have an old iPod 4th generation and this works a treat with it. I’m able to listen to my music on the move and whilst gardening. I like the fact that they sit comfortably on your ears and you are still able to hear what is going on around you. The control does pause my music and I can adjust the volume without having to touch my iPod (it doesn’t have the skip or rewind function but I knew that) I have small ears and can’t get on with the ear bud type as they hurt my ears, so all in all I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I searched and searched for many different types of headsets to use with my Xbox series X, and eventually found these. I bought them to use with my Xbox as they are super lightweight, and aren't worn over your head. I enjoy gaming, but I have a condition that causes me to have a lot of pressure headaches, which are worsened by typical gaming type headsets as they are bulky and apply additional pressure. With these, as they are so light, comfortable and unintrusive on your ears, that you forget you're wearing them. The sound is crystal clear and it's really good that you can still hear everything going on around you. They don't have a mute button unfortunately, however this can be worked around within your Xbox settings/party chat/game settings. I realise these are intended for use with a phone, but I'm pleased they work well with an Xbox.

Well, they're certainly comfortable. It's hard to imagine how they wouldn't "fit" over your ears unless you have lugholes like Dobby the House Elf. I think those who have problems with fitting are most likely (and quite reasonably) expecting a sealed connection with the ears. Allowing free air passage around the headphone seems to be a key design feature. On the one hand I can hear the outside world and it provides a sense of "openness" that is absolutely lovely. On the other, bass frequencies coming from the two vents in the headphone pod disperse instantly and also cancel each other out, giving basically no bass. Like none. Stuffing the pod into your ear hole so that one vent is pointing along your ear canal (and the other vents externally) yields the missing bass, but the moment the air seal is broken the lower two octaves of your music disappear. This isn't down to the quality of the headphone design: I reckon it's a fundamental and deliberate compromise to provide *most of* your music whilst allowing you to hear everything about you. Fair play to the manufacturer, but I think they should set expectation a little more firmly to avoid the kind of disappointment I haven't felt since being given an electric toothbrush by my parents for my 11th birthday. 🦷 In all, probably great for speech or if you think music played on your phone is "perfectly good"... but shocking for your favourite hard house album, because it makes a 808 bass drum sound like someone throwing an empty bean can at a caravan.

I needed an open-ear type wired earphone set for a musician so they could hear more of themselves on stage without blocking everything else out. Very low latency needed so wired is the only option. In conjunction with a cheap IEM transmitter/receiver set these have worked absolutely perfectly - I just feed the instrument amplifier preamp output back to the headphones. There's no noticeable bleed, they don't interfere with hearing the other musicians and the fidelity and volume are fine for me for this application. I couldn't have wished for more and for the price, or indeed any price, these are ideal.

The speakers are fine, but the microphone is located quite low on the cable. So if you're wearing this together with a jacked or a hoodie, the mic will end up being low around your neck, stuck under layers of clothes, making you barely audible to people who you're talking to. Wearing it fully outside of your clothing will create more inconvenient wires around you and will create more noise to your conversation partners if it's windy (ideal mic would stay inside your jacket's or hoodie's hood, protecting it from the wind).

Estos auriculares Resolve On Ear son geniales, No encontré ninguna opción "On Ear" con cable en ninguna tienda del sector, a ningún precio, y buscando en Amazon encontré 2 opciones, los Putahao que compré anteriores a estos y ya me gustaron mucho, y esta opción "Resolve" que me parece Excelente, muy buen sonido, adaptación a la oreja perfecta, sin peso, sin presión, un cable grueso que no se lía, micro muy claro sin sonidos extraños. No te enteras de que los llevas puestos, no molestan para nada. con jack de 3.5. Llegaron enseguida! EXCELENTE COMPRA!!

Design confortable, son correct, micro qui capte bien… Rien à redire pour ce prix ! Parfaits pour un usage quotidien sans prise de tête.

カナル型はいつも外れ、また長時間のweb会議などは耳が痛くなり、ずっとヘッドセットを使っていましたが、パッドが擦れてしまいました。 年数も経つので、こちらを選びました。 カナル型とは違い、耳に圧迫感がなく、痛さもなく、しかも音質も良いので、買って良かったです。

Update (June 22, 2025): I contacted Avantree to see if the problem I was having (scroll down to see my original review) was covered under the warranty, and if I still had warranty time left. I received a reply from Avantree customer support; yes, and yes, and they said they would be sending out a replacement. I got the replacement a couple of days ago, and trialed it yesterday at my hot, dirty, physically demanding outside job. It worked perfectly; I was able to answer calls with the inline clicker/speaker, and callers said my voice was clear and that there were no annoying sounds, no drop outs. Occasionally, especially while indoors (with a second floor overhead) I got a little echo of my own voice, but that might be more due to signal interference from the second floor or metal roof, or perhaps even the heavy cloud cover we've had lately (thunder storm season). (?). Today it was clearer outside, and I heard no echo even while under roof or second floor inside. The warranty replacement headset I received looks nearly identical to the one it replaces, except the ear pieces are slightly smaller and perhaps a bit lighter weight (see my review photos comparing new to old earpieces). I can't handle the other type of earbuds (the typical kind that one has to stick into one's ear), so Avantree's Open Ear design "Resolve L" with inline microphone / answer clicker suits me best. I tend to only wear one ear piece while I'm working - the side that has the wired in-line speaker / answer clicker (the right ear in this case). I only put the other (left) side in if it's noisy outside when I get a call. The left earpiece usually gets tucked under a bra strap under my shirt so it doesn't drop down when I go to pick up a cinder block, or bend over a wheel barrow moving sand or sifting mulch. I wish this set came with more wire management clips. Wire management of any wired headset is always a bit of a hassle. This set comes with one very nice wire management clip, but I wish it came with more - a total of 3 clips would be perfect for my use (one clip for each wire going to an ear piece, one clip to secure and direct the remaining wire length that returns back to one's phone.) Lately I've been using a Saxsion phone lanyard (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3H22T6K?th=1) in a modified butterfly backpack arrangement (see photo) to help keep my phone behind me and safely out of harm's way while I'm working, and with that rig I usually put the headset line under the straps as I put the phone behind my back. On days when I have to use a tool belt, the wire length on the Avantree Resolve L headset is long enough to allow me to thread the line through the belt loops on its way to the rear pocket of the tool belt where I keep my phone. The Avantree Resolve L, with its exceptional Warranty and Customer Support remains the best solution I've found for my ear-piece sensitivities and my need to have a durable, quality phone connection that allows me to be hands free while working my physically demanding job. It checks all my boxes: it's affordable, has a comfortable open ear design, delivers quality sound, already comes with lightning connection, and has an awesome product warranty and a responsive customer support staff. I would not hesitate to buy the Avantree Resolve L open ear with inline speaker again, not only for myself, but for a family member or friend who likewise can't handle the "other" type of earbud and is seeking a more comfortable, affordable, quality solution for a wired headset with inline speaker. I've tried many, many headsets, and this one remains the best quality sound, design, comfort, function, and value for price point that I've found. The Avantree warranty and responsive customer support when things go wrong are really rare and exceptional these days, and deeply appreciated! Thank you Avantree for sending out my replacement so quickly so I would not be without a safety phone at work for very long. Old Review (before I received the Warranty Replacement) follows below: Good while it lasted...Purchased January 29, 2025 for my iPhone 13, started having problems by 6/2/2025. While it worked, the sound quality was good (on both ends - I could hear incoming, they could hear me). I bought an "L" size, and it was comfortable and stayed in place throughout my strenuous outdoor work day. The cord arrangement could have been better. Only one soft clip is provided, and that was insufficient to manage all three cords (the cord to each ear, and the long cord to my cell phone). I used small clamp type binder clips for a while to pin the cords to my shirt, but getting them set up "just right" EVERY time was such a hassle. I finally ended up storing my phone in a light weight (nearly gossamer) string-strap type backpack so the longest main cord stayed safely behind me and largely within the backpack while I worked. This was the best solution for me (it also eased the "strain" of having a heavy iphone dragging my pants down, or putting weight on my bladder if I had put the phone into a "fanny pack" or tool belt. Sadly, when the cord's built-in speaker's answer button stopped working (my phone would ring, I would hit the answer button on the cord and NOTHING would happen), the "useful life" of this Avantree Resolve-L ended for me. It's hard to find an external earbud with lightning for iphone that also has comfortable over-ear loop and good sound quality. I wish this one had lasted longer. It was honestly the best one I had found to date....until the inline answer button stopped working. (This review has been updated above after I received the warranty replacement they shipped out to me).
