Thinksound ts03+mic 8mm Noise Isolating Wooden Headphone with Universal 1 Button Microphone (Gunmetal/Walnut)

Over the past year, I have found myself spending lots of time in my car with my phone as I commute to and from work. To pass the time, I like to listen to music and my standard Android earbuds weren't cutting it anymore. I wanted something convenient that I could use on-the-go without sacrificing fidelity.After reading glowing reviews of the OneMore Triple Drivers, I decided to give them a chance. Result? UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT. Everything sounded "muffled". I tried all the ear tips that came with the buds, I meddled with EQ settings, and I tried them on a variety of different devices. No dice. No matter what I listened to, it felt like someone was holding my head down into a vat of cotton. I came to the unfortunate conclusion that most of OneMore's budget goes into their pristine packaging (and judging from the other negative reviews, I'm not alone in that sentiment). The actual sound quality was pitiful.One of the OneMore Triple Drivers' negative reviewers mentioned that he'd be giving ThinkSound a go. I'd never heard of ThinkSound so I did a bit of research. Turns out Aaron Fournier is an audio engineer and founded the company in 2009. He decided to use wood on the buds because of wood's superior resonance and acoustics.After trying these out all day, all I can conclude is that Aaron stuffed demons into these buds -- demons that are summoned from their wooden housings whenever I press the Play button on my phone.In all seriousness, these buds rock. It's unbelievable to me that such tight, present, punchy bass can come out of these things without sacrificing the clarity and separation of the other elements.Everything is crystal clear, and it's probably a review cliché by now, but I could honestly hear new musical elements in songs I've been listening to all my life. Subtle, complimentary melodies running parallel to the main track for instance.These absolutely put the OneMore Triple Drivers to shame. You can tell that these buds are a passion project because of how high-quality they are, both in design and performance. Aaron won't give you a 20-page pamphlet, a gift card, and a stuffed animal with your purchase, but he will give you a metal tin with what I believe are some of the best-sounding buds on the market.So if you are looking for a higher-end in-ear headphone, definitely give these a try.

These are easily the best sound ear buds I've owned and I've owned quite a few. Unfortunately within 3 months the right channel ultimately went out. I cleaned them per the instructions on their website, it helped a little but the right channel ultimately went completely silent again. Their customer service was GREAT they sent me a knew set under warranty. Sadly it wasn't long before again the right channel began to fade. Once again I followed their cleaning instructions. Again it helped a little. I cleaned them again-no change. Let them soak a little longer than the instructions said and there was some improvement. However the right channel continues to be noticeably softer than the left. Maybe I produce more earwax than normal in my right ear, though it's not noticeable when I clean my ears each day. I have never had to devote much maintenance to any earbuds. Clean up the tips and stick them back in. The problems I have experienced with Thinksound must not be completely uncommon or they wouldn't feel the need to post on their website such an elaborate cleaning process. I have several ear buds currently and find the closest approximation in sound to the Thinksound ts03+mic 8mm Noise Isolating Wooden Headphones is the Symphonized NRG 3.0 Earbuds in-Ear Headphones, Wood Noise-isolating Earphones with Microphone & Volume Control. They are very close in sound quality and incredibly cost less than $25. For $120 Thinksound were expensive, but I listen to a lot of music. But the maintenance (ineffective no less) required of the Thinksound ear buds make them a poor choice in my mind.

I purchased ts01s way back when they first came out and fell in love. Later I picked up some Thinksound On1s as well, so I've been a big fan of Thinksound products for awhile. I had been wanting to upgrade from the ts01s for a bit when they accidentally became the victim of the washing machine. Amazingly they still worked, but hey, it was the perfect excuse to upgrade.So far the ts03s have exceeded my already high expectations. They provide the perfect amount of bass, for a rich, full sound. I absolutely love the wide range of sound and warmth (even on standard MP3s) the ts03s achieve. I alternate between these and Apple Airpods at work (the Airpods allow me to still hear things around me) and it's no surprise that the ts03s blow the Airpods out of the water. I know it's a cliché but I've heard things in songs I've listened to dozens of times with the ts03 that I've never heard by simply listening in the car or in Airpods or other earpods.Simply put, I can't recommend the Thinksound ts03s enough. They look great and are quality built, they don't feel cheap at all. Above all else they sound excellent.

Just bought the ts03+ and they are outstanding and are true reference monitors. Have done business with Thinksound since they first started and have never been disappointed. I currently 3 sets of earbuds and the ts03+ is the best of the lot. That is not to say that the other headphones they sell are not also excellent. Not only great sound for the $ but well designed and durable. Thinksound’s customer support is second to none and they will even recommend the best set for your needs even if it is not the most expensive. I love going to the Apple Store and having the young folks try them out. They are easily sold with the best sound for the dollar. I recommend them completely over much much more expensive earbuds.Dr Brad Lafferty (moor-laffs)

This is a great pair of earbuds, but I still prefer the previous model (ts02). The ts03 has a little too much trebe in my opinion. Also, the mic part feels cheaper and the wood housing color are not my type.
