    Great Sound, Poor Packaging

    Reviewed by - July 2, 2019

    I just got these in the mail yesterday. They have a great sound, and are very aesthetically pleasing. I love the cord length and the braided cord. Sound on phone calls is great on both ends. My one complaint is that the packaging it came in appeared "green" but then had a bunch of plastic on the inside. I feel like the types of consumers who are buying these products are doing so because of the sustainability boasted by this brand. That all falls out the window when you package in plastic like this. Please revisit your packaging. You have great goals!

    Owned 2014-2019 R.I.P. my Smile Jamaica Earphones

    Reviewed by - October 11, 2019

    I bought a pair of these headphones in 2014. I have used them for around 3-4 hours minimum each day at least 6 days a week every week since I bought them. They have just broken and that's only really because I dropped them in front of my house and my dad managed to reverse over the head. They're not completely tangle free but they are so easy to untangle I got apple earphones for the first time in 5 years and now I understand why they invented Airpods because they couldn't steal Marley's cord idea. I'm pretty clumsy and reckless and the past week without them has made me feel genuinely lost. Love them, Love them. Love them. Just ordered a new pair.

    Still alive....... years later

    Reviewed by - December 4, 2018

    I used to have to buy a new pair of headphones every month, basically. They always seemed to break on me even if I invested (insert sum of money here). I bought these headphones about five years ago now, back in high school. I’ve slept with them in, exercised in them, tossed them in my bag, in the washer.... I’ve completely tortured these headphones. They still work as good as the day that I bought them. It dawned on me truly how long I’ve had them and I went online to see if they still sell them. I’m relieved. I will be buying more, whenever these decide to pass away. Sadly, they don’t sell the color I have anymore. Hopefully, they get more variants.

    Durable, resilient, and low-key waterproof buds!

    Reviewed by - March 5, 2019

    I bought these headphones three years ago and am blown away by the quality and comfort of these headphones.The tangle-free cord is high quality and has lasted longer than any other pair i have owned. They are functional and sustainable, while keeping it classy and hip. ALSO, not five minutes ago, I accidentally dropped one of the headphones in my mug of hot water, as I left my desk to grab something from storage. Much to my sleep-deprived horror, I only noticed when I returned. After quickly drying and separating the components, I tried them out and they STILL WORKED! 10/10 would recommend to anyone like me with a bad track record with headphones.

    they're good but not great

    Reviewed by - September 7, 2018

    I brought these about a month or two ago and only recently I started to notice something wrong with the earbuds. every so often there will be some kind of buzz that pops during a song. this is strange as I haven't had these for very long and still are relatively new. also, the so-called tangle-free earbud cable does get tangled quite a bit, but what cable doesn't. the one thing I LOVE about these earbuds is that they really do block out all noise and they are very stylish and trendy. I wouldn't know for sure if my pair is just faulty or its a problem everywhere. either they are good earbuds. KEEP IT UP HOUSE OF MARLEY!

    Durable with great sound.

    Reviewed by - March 6, 2019

    These are my headphone of choice and they have great sound quality. I am very rough on my headphones I use them most of the day everyday and they are constantly get crammed into my pockets, caught on things, stepped on, driven over by golf carts, lost, left outside overnight, thrown through the wash, etc.(at no fault to the headphones obviously). These headphones are just as comfortable as they are stylish, people love the unique look of the braided chord and wood. These usually last me about a year where as most headphones only last a month. Will continue to purchase and recommend these fro the foreseeable future.

    Some pros and small cons

    Reviewed by - February 10, 2021

    The sound quality is pretty good, I like it and it's great for the price but the buds won't stay in my ears. The product only comes with one earbud size but luckily i have some rubber things that came with my old earphones that were the right size to fit on these because they help them stay in my ears. They are not tangle resistant as advertised and the 'copper' ones came with a pink string not white and grey like the picture. Overall I like them for the sound and the fact that they're eco-friendly but there is some misrepresentation in the photos and description and they fall out of my ears very easily.

    Super Durable/Long Lasting

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - July 17, 2020

    I bought one pair of these last year and they've been great. Ive washed them in the laundry by mistake TWICE now and they still work just the same. I also wear these to work every day where they get snagged and tugged constantly but there's still no fraying or wire issues. Bought a new pair recently just to have as a backup and they also work great. The one complaint is that the new ones I bought were the rasta color, which in the picture online look blue/teal and orange but in reality are green and red. Disappointed but not a deal breaker because they quality and sustainabilty factor is worth it.

    Needs improvement

    Reviewed by - July 10, 2022

    I deliberately chose the headphones because I like your company idea. But after a few months, the cable knotted in a few places and holes appeared on the fabric sheathing, which led to kinks on the cable. And now about a year later I can only listen to music on one side! I had hoped for more. Despite wearing comfort and rendering quality I would not buy them again
