A pair of in-ear headphones for 40 euros is my insider tip for people who don’t want to spend much

With a Bluetooth adapter, the headphones can also be used without any problems on a desktop PC or laptop for gaming. However, there is no app or settings to be made. On the PC, the sound is decent, but it cannot be compared to my normal gaming headset.

What I don’t like: The build quality cannot keep up with high-end headphones as expected. In-ear headphones from Sony, Sennheiser, and Co often use premium materials like aluminum for the case. Here, the thin plastic of the HolyHigh feels low-value.

The charging case is made of plastic and feels cheap. Fingerprints and fine scratches can also be easily seen. The lid is attached to the case with a plastic clasp.

The touch controls of the headphones can also only convince me to a limited extent. If I press the headphones more firmly into my ears, I accidentally turn the volume up or down, although I didn’t want that at the time. With some combination, I also accidentally start the annoying Bixby from Samsung.

Scratches are clearly visible on the charging case.

Who are the headphones recommended for? With the HolyHigh in-ear headphones, you get decent headphones with good sound and especially pleasant ergonomics for the ears. Additionally, you get some low-quality build, which you should also expect at this price.

By the way, you will not get gaming functions or app settings with these headphones, but rather decent sound and good comfort.

MeinMMO author Benedikt Schlotmann has now bought in-ear headphones and finds that good sound does not necessarily have to be expensive.

Here’s how I proceeded: At work and in my free time, I like to listen to music. However, I am also one of those people who do not always need to wear a heavy gaming headset when they want to listen to music.

For this reason, I am always on the lookout for in-ear headphones. Wired in-ear headphones only lasted a few months for me, as they either disappeared in the washing machine, got caught somewhere, or my girlfriend’s cat misplaced them. Wireless in-ear headphones seemed to be the solution to the problems.

By now, I had already had nearly a dozen of these headphones personally and professionally on my desk. The range varies from very cheap discount headphones to gaming devices and high-end models. However, I’m a curious person who likes to try out new devices.

Which headphones did I choose? I opted for the in-ear headphones from HolyHigh. On the one hand, they cost just under 40 euros (35.99), and on the other hand, the ratings for the headphones on Amazon were 4.4 stars with over 1600 customer reviews, which also spoke for the purchase.

40 euros and good customer reviews immediately piqued my curiosity, and I wanted to try them out. After all, one couldn’t go too wrong at such a price.

Surprisingly good sound for just 40 euros 

What I like: Overall, the sound can convince me. It is not comparable to high-quality devices such as the EPOS GTW 270, which MeinMMO was able to test, but it is sufficient for everyday use. Whether while quickly shopping or on the streetcar to drown out the screaming schoolchildren, the headphones do their job:

  • Pleasant bass and clearly distinguishable sounds (Handel’s Deborah, Sanctus from the Requiem by Johannes Ockeghem).
  • Instruments and voices can clearly be assigned to one ear, key presses on the piano or the plucking of a violin (Brahms: The Three Violin Sonatas).
  • A soundstage is almost non-existent. Music always sounds distanced, without much depth. But that is also due to the construction of in-ear headphones.

Another positive aspect is the ergonomics of the small headphones. They sit really comfortably.  I rank the pair from HolyHigh in terms of “comfort” at position 2, just behind the EPOS GTW 270. I can quickly pop the HolyHigh headphones in my ears and comfortably listen to music for several hours without them bothering me.

In comparison, I was unable to listen to music for a full hour with the “Razer Hammerhead True Wireless” headphones because the pressure on my ears drove me crazy.

The battery life is also a positive aspect. According to the manufacturer, the headphones last for about six and a half hours, and with the case, you get a total of 24 hours. My headphones manage more than 6 hours of battery life without issues.

With a Bluetooth adapter, the headphones can also be used without any problems on a desktop PC or laptop for gaming. However, there is no app or settings to be made. On the PC, the sound is decent, but it cannot be compared to my normal gaming headset.
