Distributed by D.LAB Dezign Laboratories

Choosing the right earbuds for your needs and your budget can be a challenge. After all, there are so many different types vying for your attention, including wired models, neckbud-style wireless earphones, and true wireless earbuds. How do you know which one you should choose?

The CT856 earphones are the latest addition to a range that represents one of the more surprising success stories of recent years.

The CT856 deliver a snug fit and a well-balanced, fun and energetic sound. With an updated 10mm dynamic driver and a silver-plated copper cable, they’re great value for money too. Sound is warm and there’s decent depth to the bass, which is topped with a clear and crisp midrange. It’s also worth noting that their moderately high sensitivity (85dB) means that the CT856 can still deliver plenty of volume.

Functionality is kept simple with a remote and mic on the cable for the left earphone. It’s a easy to use 3 button job, so it should work with Apple and Android smartphones, giving you (1) Answer/Hang or Play/Pause and (2) Volume Increase/ Decrease. Given the price, it’s hard to find fault with these excellent budget buds.

More importantly, these earphones sound as good as they look. Timing and organisation are excellent, creating a great sense of refinement. Lows are accurate and balanced, while highs sound sharp and precise. Put simply, these amazing in-ears deliver on all fronts.
