Final Thoughts

I have been using the Kworld S25 Elite Mobile Gaming Earphones for over a week now, taking them wherever I go. Listening to music on my ZTE Warp Elite while on the go or at the gym. Or, just when I want to sit and watch a show or play a game on my PC.

I like the bullet aesthetic, but for comfort the JVC Gumy’s win out. The ergonomic design doesn’t look as pretty, but is less painful on the ears after extended periods of time.

Kworld S25 Conclusion

Kworld has done a nice job with the S25 Elite Mobile Gaming Earphones. They are sleek and sound great. I wasn’t expecting them to sound as good as they did with at this price point.

Performance of the S25 Elite Mobile Gaming Earphones was above my expectations. Products in this category with labels stating ‘bass boost’ or ‘ultra bass’ usually do have good bass, but at the cost of clarity in the mid and high range frequencies. That did not happen with the S25 earphones.

Appearance of the S25 earphones is awesome. I really liked the 9mm theme and making  them look like a bullet. As gimmicky as it is, I think it turned out nicely. I think this will be a love them or hate them decision for most people out there.

Construction is as solid as they come for earphones. The S25 feels really solid compared to others. The braided cord, while nothing new, was nice at this price point. And it makes for a tougher cord adding to that bullet-proof feel. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself on that one!

The Functionality of the S25 earphones could be better. This is where I have to hit the S25 a bit. As mentioned before, the volume slider, bass switch, and call button could all use some improvement. None of it works as intuitively as it should.

Value of the Kworld S25 Elite Mobile Gaming Earphones is quite high. At the time of writing this article the S25 is selling online for $26.99 (Amazon | NewEgg).

With the quality build and sound of the S25 Elite Mobile Gaming Earphones I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for low cost earphones that perform well.

Pros:

+ Good overall sound quality
+ Sturdy construction
+ Optional earbuds included
+ Braided cord

Cons:

– Sticky volume slider
– Bass switch is best left on
– Call button easily depressed when using volume slider

Ratings:

• Performance: 9.25
• Appearance: 9.50
• Construction: 9.00
• Functionality: 7.00
• Value: 9.25

Final Score: 8.8 out of 10.
