Buyers say these headphones could compete with Beats – and Amazon has them on sale for

Big brand headphones can be super expensive – around $200. But that’s largely due to high-end features that you may never use. If you’re looking for reliable, comfortable, wireless headphones, then the iJoy wireless headphones – on sale for $20 on Amazon – could be the solution for you.

According to over 57,000 (!) Amazon reviewers, these headphones deliver excellent sound and then some. The jaw-droppingly low price makes this purchase a no-brainer.

Some fans say they prefer these headphones to the big brands like Sony and Beats – headphones that probably cost $200 to $400. Sure, you’ll have to sacrifice some features, but fans say the iJoy headphones are more comfortable and come close in terms of sound. And when it comes to spending $20 or $400, it’s a no-brainer. They also come in six other colors with different price points, but none that cost more than a few dollars.

With soft earcups, a foldable design, and a matte finish, these headphones are a great mix of functionality and style. The built-in microphone lets you take calls from your phone. Charging is fast and powerful. And there are physical controls for the usual functions: play, pause, track, and volume. How about a great bonus? These iJoy rechargeable headphones also have a built-in radio receiver! A mode switch changes from Bluetooth to FM radio.

The most important aspect of any headphone is of course the sound quality, and the iJoy really delivers – more than 57,000 buyers give it a five-star rating.

“I love these, the sound is about as good as my Beats and for the fantastic price they are better,” said one delighted shopper. “I’m a music therapist so I’ve had years of ear training at university and gigs. I can tell a slight difference with my Beats but the average person probably won’t. I use these to watch TV late at night so I don’t disturb my husband who isn’t a night owl like me.”

“They hold their charge for several hours and the sound is very clear,” wrote one five-star fan. “I didn’t realise they could also pick up and play FM radio on their own (with noise), so it was quite a strange experience when I pressed the pause button on my audiobook and started listening to music and conversations (I plugged my phone back in and Bluetooth took over again without a problem).”

This buyer said it best: “These headphones have incredible sound! Really reminds me of surround sound in a movie theater. Incredible sound!! Very comfortable on the head and ears!! The earbuds are very padded!”

“The only downside I’ve found is that my ears (outside) start to hurt a little bit if I wear them for a long period of time,” revealed one reviewer. “But that’s not a deal breaker. I just see it as a sign to either take them off or switch to my AirPods.”

Another reviewer agreed: “The headphones hurt my ears a little after a few hours, but maybe my ears are just too big.”
