Coosh Earphones Review

To make a long story short, the Coosh earphones are a worthy buy at $20.
For starters, our first impressions regarding the comfort-level lasted. Again, since there’s padding on the actual earphones themselves, covering the usually sharp seam between the metal grill and the earphone plastic, these earphones can spend the whole day in your ears.
On top of that, the soft plastic “arms” that wrap around your outer ears, so again the earphones can spend the whole day in your ears, because they’re securely fastened. Another feature we like was the bent earphone jack. Aside from being another opportunity for brand showcasing, this construction means you won’t have earphone jacks sticking out the side of your gadget.
The earphones are nowhere close to the audio quality of full-fledged headphones, especially in the bass department. But Coosh’s offering do a decent job. At the very least, you aren’t stuck with tin cans in your ears!
The only issue we have with the Coosh earphones is how those arms make you more visible than usual, especially in public. People will probably notice the white supports around your ears and do a double-take. This unfortunately may include thieves scoping out for a mark. Perhaps Coosh could make future versions have transparent arms?
