1, Introduction

Thank you for your interest in this article.
I am kina, the author of this article.
In this post, I would like to introduce the "FUNLOGY Wired Earbuds," the first low-priced wired earphone from "FUNLOGY," a brand that has become famous for its audio products.
To give you the conclusion first, these are recommended for those who say, "I want earphones that are cheap and have a great design and sound quality!" or "I want to have a cheap pair of earphones as a backup!"
*"FUNLOGY" is a Japanese manufacturer.

2, Price

First, let me introduce the price of these earphones. The price of these earphones is "980 yen". Just to clarify, this is not a sale price, but the list price. Hearing just the price, you might think, "Even if it's from a famous manufacturer, are these earphones okay?" However, after actually purchasing them and using them for a few days, I thought they were perfectly fine.
When you actually hold them, it's easy to see why they won the VGP2025 Best Value Award.

3, Unboxing

In this chapter, I will introduce the appearance and accessories of the "FUNLOGY Wired Earbuds."

・Outer Box

The outer box is orange and has a minimalist quality. It feels like the finish of the box is appropriate for the price.

・Accessories

The only accessories included are "silicone ear tips in S/M/L sizes (3 pairs)." This also feels appropriate for the price, but I was surprised that replacement ear tips were included. With these three sizes, I don't think you will have any basic issues.

・Main Unit

The earphones themselves are a long, thin canal type. The texture has a matte finish, which is nice. At the very least, they do not look like 980-yen quality at all. Also, since they are a standard canal type, I don't think you will be confused about how to wear them.

・Nozzle

The nozzle has a relatively thin shape with a tapered tip, which is often seen in recent wireless earphones.

・Cable

The cable is a flat, noodle-like cable often used in low-priced earphones, where two cables are joined together. Considering the price, it's unavoidable, but the cable feels cheap. However, I didn't get the impression that it was fragile or lacked durability.
Also, it is designed to prevent tangling and reduce noise when the cable comes into contact with things, so I don't think you will have any trouble.

・Plug

The plug is an L-shaped type. Therefore, I think there is little risk of it breaking while in use.

・Color variations

The color variations are available in two colors: "Black" and "White". Personally, I recommend "Black".

4, Specs

The plug shape is 3.5mm 3-pole. Also, the warranty period is 1 year, so you can rest assured.

5, Actual usage review

From here on, I will introduce my impressions and usability & sound quality after actually using them. Also, this actual usage review is just my personal opinion. Therefore, please read it as a reference.

・Fit

Regarding the fit, I had no particular complaints. As mentioned in the nozzle section, the housing is small and has a long, thin shape, so I think it is easy to use even for those with small ears. In fact, I have small ear canals myself, so larger canal-type earphones sometimes don't fit or cause pain when used for a long time, but I didn't feel any pain at all with these earphones.
Also, I think the sound insulation is no different from regular canal-type earphones.

・Sound quality

First, I would like to briefly introduce the environment in which I conducted the listening test for this review. Also, please note that sound quality is subjective and varies by environment and individual, so please take this as a reference.

・Overall sound quality

Regarding sound quality, as it is marketed for ASMR and high-frequency ranges, I felt it excelled in the mid and high ranges. However, the low range felt understated by default. Therefore, I tried to emphasize the low range with an equalizer, but it felt muffled, perhaps because it is not its strong suit. As such, it might not be suitable for those who are particular about deep bass.

・Sound tendency

The sound tendency felt like a balanced type that brings out the characteristics of each of the "high," "mid," and "low" ranges. This tuning might be tailored to recent songs. Also, the high range produced a solid, crisp sound. Regarding this aspect, it could be said that this model has a good response.

・Sound stage

Regarding the sound stage, there is a sense of it spreading out overall. As for spatial expression, since it is introduced as an ASMR earphone, it was able to express things in a quite natural way.

・Low range

The low range feels like it is present at a minimum level. I felt that the impact itself might be slightly noticeable, but that's about it.
Also, the low range does not sink deep and feels muffled and unclear overall.
Considering the price of 980 yen, I think this is unavoidable, but it might bother some people.

・Mid range

The mid range is finished with a clear feel overall. Therefore, it was able to capture vocal sounds well without being drowned out by the low or high ranges. However, depending on the song, there were times when I felt the chorus or some vocals were buried and hard to hear. Still, considering the price of 980 yen, I think the expressive power is more than enough.
Also, because the mid range is clear, I personally thought it was suitable for listening to ASMR.
※I will introduce ASMR listening at a later date.

・High range

Regarding the high range, the expressive power was at a level that makes you forget it is a 980 yen earphone. Specifically, the extension of the high range was comparable to earphones in the 6000 yen class. Therefore, the tones of instruments like guitars and synths were extended in a natural way, resulting in a relatively crisp sound.
Indeed, this earphone feels like it puts effort into the "mid range" and "high range".

6, Summary

In this chapter, I would like to summarize the overall review of the "FUNLOGY Wired Earbuds" introduced this time as pros & cons.

・General Review

This was my first time trying a "FUNLOGY" product, and I feel like I understand why their speakers have become a hot topic.
Perhaps because these earphones were just released, they aren't being talked about much yet, but I have a feeling they will be soon. If I had to ask for more, I would want a "microphone-equipped model" and a "Type-C model"... but I will look forward to those in the future.
Also, to reiterate, considering that these earphones are something you can "easily buy on Amazon and similar sites," I felt that they are the most cost-effective earphones among the low-price range.
Therefore, if you are looking for wired earphones that you can buy cheaply on Amazon, please try purchasing the "FUNLOGY Wired Earbuds" once.
If you do, I am sure you will understand the quality of these earphones.

Lastly, thank you very much for reading.
