How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want maximum bass depth, broad device compatibility and a full accessories package, choose MINDBEAST Bass Amazing Sound; if you need earbuds that stay locked on your ears through sweat, long runs and marathon listening sessions, choose Joysico Over Ear Earbuds.
• MINDBEAST Bass Amazing Sound — biggest strength: an extra-bass 10mm dynamic driver with a stated 4Hz–40KHz frequency range, aimed squarely at deep, low-end-heavy sound.
• MINDBEAST Bass Amazing Sound — biggest trade-off: it's an in-ear design held in place by angled ear hooks and silicone tips, not a true over-ear loop, so fit security depends entirely on getting the right tip size.
• Joysico Over Ear Earbuds — biggest strength: over-ear hooks plus a shirt clip and six eartip options (including foam) that keep the buds planted during sweaty, high-motion workouts.
• Joysico Over Ear Earbuds — biggest trade-off: its 20Hz–20,000Hz range is narrower, so it won't reach the sub-bass depths the MINDBEAST set advertises.
• Pick MINDBEAST if you want bass-first sound, a travel-ready leather case and maximum device compatibility for gaming, laptops and mobile.
• Pick Joysico if you want a stability-first sports pair with inline volume control and a hard case for running, gym and long calls.
The MINDBEAST set is built around one idea: bass. Its 10mm high-fidelity dynamic driver is tuned to push low frequencies hard, and the stated frequency range runs from 4Hz all the way to 40,000Hz — a spec that matters most if you listen to bass-heavy music, podcasts with deep voice tracks, or you game on consoles and want that rumble. The brand also claims in-ear noise isolation that cuts at least 90% of ambient noise, which is a big deal on a plane or a noisy commute.
Where it stands out is flexibility. It's a wired 3.5mm set with a 120-degree angled jack, and MINDBEAST says it fits iOS, Android, Apple, Sony, Samsung, Google, Xbox One and PS4 devices — so it works as a phone headset, a gaming headset and a laptop pair without adapters. The angled ear hooks and three sizes of silicone tips are meant to hold it in place during indoor workouts, outdoor runs and travel. The package also includes a 5.9 x 3.1 x 2-inch leather zipper case that's waterproof and dirt-proof, plus a mesh pocket and a 5ft extension cord.
Joysico Over Ear Earbuds: Who It's For
The Joysico pair is a sports-first design, and its whole build reflects that. The over-ear hook wraps around the ear rather than sitting inside it, so the bud doesn't need to be jammed deep to stay put. That's the core difference: instead of relying on a tight in-ear seal to hold position, the hook anchors the earbud. Joysico also includes a shirt clip to stop the cable swinging around mid-run, which is a small detail that makes a real difference on a treadmill.
Comfort is clearly the other priority. The soft over-ear hook and lightweight body are described as comfortable for long stretches, and the brand notes you can barely feel them even while wearing glasses — a genuine problem with many over-ear hooks. You get six eartip options: small, medium, large, dual-layer, triple-layer and memory foam. More tip shapes means a better chance of a proper seal and better passive noise blocking. The 52-inch cord (130cm) is long enough to reach a treadmill or a desk setup without tugging.
On sound, Joysico uses 13mm dynamic drivers with a stated 20Hz–20,000Hz range. The brand describes loud, clear audio with strong bass, crisp treble and no distortion at high volume. It's a narrower range than the MINDBEAST set, but for music, audiobooks, podcasts and radio during a workout, that's a sensible tuning. The inline mic sits below the jaw for calls, and the remote handles volume, play/pause, track skip and voice assistant.
Who should buy it: runners, gym-goers, hikers and anyone who wears glasses and needs a stable, comfortable fit. Who should skip it: listeners chasing the deepest possible sub-bass, and iPhone 7-or-later users who'd need a separate lightning adapter.
• Best for bass depth → MINDBEAST Bass Amazing Sound. Its 4Hz–40KHz range and extra-bass 10mm driver are aimed at low-end output the Joysico's 20Hz–20,000Hz range doesn't claim.
• Best for workout stability → Joysico Over Ear Earbuds. Over-ear hooks, a shirt clip and six eartip sizes are purpose-built to survive sweat and motion.
• Best for glasses wearers → Joysico Over Ear Earbuds. The brand specifically calls out comfort with glasses, a real pain point for hook-style buds.
• Best for device compatibility → MINDBEAST Bass Amazing Sound. It lists iOS, Android, Xbox One, PS4 and major phone brands, with no adapter caveat.
• Best for calls and track control → Joysico Over Ear Earbuds. Inline mic plus physical volume, play/pause, skip and voice-assistant buttons beat voice-only control.
• Best for travel and storage → MINDBEAST Bass Amazing Sound. A waterproof, dirt-proof leather zipper case with mesh organisation is more protective than a basic hard case.
• Best for long listening sessions → Joysico Over Ear Earbuds. Lightweight hooks and memory-foam tips are designed for prolonged, pain-free wear.
• Best for iPhone 7+ users → MINDBEAST Bass Amazing Sound. Joysico notes you need a lightning adapter for newer iPhones; MINDBEAST makes no such caveat.
If I had to pick one, I'd take the MINDBEAST Bass Amazing Sound set, because bass-first tuning, a 4Hz–40KHz range and adapter-free compatibility across phones, consoles and computers cover more of my everyday listening. The leather travel case seals it for me. That said, if your priority is staying put through sweat, long runs and gym sessions — especially if you wear glasses — the Joysico Over Ear Earbuds are the smarter buy, thanks to the over-ear hooks, shirt clip and six eartip options. In my opinion, bass and versatility go to MINDBEAST; stability and comfort go to Joysico.
FAQ
Joysico. Its over-ear hooks, shirt clip and six eartip options (including memory foam) are designed to keep the buds secure through sweat and movement. MINDBEAST uses angled hooks and silicone tips, which is secure but less locked-in.
They use a standard 3.5mm jack and are listed as compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod, but Joysico notes you'll need a lightning adapter for iPhone 7 and later, which dropped the headphone jack. MINDBEAST lists no such requirement.
Match the design to your routine: bass and multi-device use point to MINDBEAST, sweat and stability point to Joysico. For cost, check the current price on Amazon before deciding — both are wired 3.5mm sets, so the fit and tuning matter more than anything else.
