RHA S500u In-Ear Headphones review

 

A David vs Goliath story in audio

Excellent build quality ; Balanced, rich audio ; Tons of tips included

Sibilant at times ; Narrow soundstage ; Cable noise

The RHA S500u are an incredible value, offering stunning sound and build quality for the price. These headphones easily stand toe-to-toe against competitors costing twice as much. They may not be the last word in resolution, dynamic range or...

Great sound, very poor construction

 

Now on my third pair of these and considering giving up. They sound great, but two pairs have now given up the ghost. The first stopped working (sound interference, play/pause button and mic malfunctioning) within a few months as did the second (the...

Fantastic

 

I've had these for a while and I am thoroughly impressed, they give off great sound with a good base and come with a wide selection of ear buds so you can get the right fit. The craftsmanship of these earphones are superb and are very durable. Would...

Good sound, good features

 

I bought these as I am doing more zoom/video call and was looking for some comfortable headphones with a mic built in. They have various size buds and are comfortable to wear. I find for calls if you pull out the buds slightly from your ear it sounds a...

Average

 

No bass and a very tinny sound. Pretty disappointed. Obviously you can't test earphones before you buy, so you're buying blind.

Does what is needed

 

Only had them a few weeks, recommended by Edinburgh shop over the phone for better build quality. I've not broken them yet so that's a good sign. Sound quality is as good as I'm used to.

Poor

 

I was unimpressed by the earphones that came with my phone, so I traded up to these RHAS500U. It wasn't worth it. I cranked up the bass on the equaliser, but it was still far too bright and with no real body to listen to any quality music. I suddenly...

Great service

 

I came in with limited knowledge of the products available. The staff helped me by offering help by explaining the benefits of each product to meet my needs.

Excellent value for money

 

A really solid pair of headphones for general use/running. Some cable noise, but this is a minor fault on an otherwise excellent product, particularly for £30

13yr old Daughter loves these

 

Brought this some weeks ago. Handed it to my daughter and she's used it every days for hours at a time. She's always plugged into music so although only 13 is a connoisseur and she loves these earphones. A great thing for us as parents is that they...
