Flamingo Music Earbuds Review
The Flamingo Music earbuds feature EarClick technology which promises to provide a customizable secure fit for your ear that is also “weightless”. The product comes packaged with 6 EarClick ear-pads. I had to try on a few until I was able to find the one that fit my ear right. Once I found the appropriate one, the Flamingo did feel quite comfortable, however the non-appropriate sized ear clicks were just the opposite - they were uncomfortable. So you have to be sure to find the one that is best for you. True to their claim, the headphones did feel quite weightless as well, and the nature of the design does feel very secure - the earphones don’t fall out or get loose the way my iPod earbuds so easily do.
The Flamingo Music also came with a carrying pouch, which is appreciated because I hate carrying around headphones in my bag only to discover later that they’ve gotten all tangled up. Keeping them in a little bag keeps things neat in tidy. A clip is also included as well to keep things neat or to use to attach the earbud’s cable to your clothing or bag strap.
The design of the Flamingo Music is pretty slick and stylish, nothing spectacular but overall nice. Our review pair was colored in chrome and black. Although the Flamingo Music earbuds are a little bigger than your typical earbuds, wearing it in my ear was still pretty unobtrusive. The cable is shielded with a “sports-grade finish”. In other words, the cable isn’t your typical plastic cable that is more likely to snap or suffer from wear and tear.
Unfortunately when it came to sound quality the Flamingo Music suffered from significant tinniness and a lack of bass, even after playing around with the EQ settings. For $49.99 we’re not expecting Bose like quality, but even the standard iPod/iPhone earbuds provide a better audio experience. Is it the worst pair of headphones we’ve ever used? No. But still, for $49.99 we expected more punch.
The Flamingo Music retails for $49.99 and comes in a choice of 4 colors - chrome, black, blistered red or white. iPhone users will be happy to hear that the Flamingo Music is compatible with their favorite phone. Overall, if a high quality audio experience isn’t your priority but rather you are looking for something comfortable and lightweight, than the Flamingo Music might be for you.
Conclusion:
The Good: Available in 4 colors, Comfortable and Weightless
The Bad: Suffers from Tinny Sound and lack of bass
