Decent low-priced replacement headphones, with caveats

When I bought this item, I'm pretty sure there were 50+ reviews and it was 4.5 stars. Now most of those "fake news" reviews have been removed, and as I write this it's a 3* item. GOOD: inexpensive, and you get two of them. I like the earpod shape (same as Apple original). NEUTRAL: audio quality. It's actually quite good in a quiet room, but when I was at the gym I noticed that there wasn't as much treble and it became harder to hear. Overall, better than I expect at this price range. Materials feels a little cheaper than the original. BAD: Microphone is OK for making calls but I think I have to speak louder. When I plug it into my apple laptop, it doesn't work. Also, the volume adjustment buttons seem to get stuck (if you press it once, it holds it down for a few seconds). VERY BAD: I'm still annoyed that someone paid for 50 fake reviews for this product. I'm taking a star off for this. Overall, if you lose your headphones regularly and want a cheap replacement, these aren't a bad choice. Not nearly as good as the original, though.
