Betron B750 Earphones Review

Last Updated: on October 1, 2024 by Jack

We decided to purchase and review an older pair of Betron budget wired earphones that were released around 2014 but have probably undergone a few minor changes and are still floating around today. They are in the budget category, which is where most of Betron’s headphones, earphones and earbuds fall.

They’re still purchased regularly on Amazon, but not as much as Betron’s other more popular models that we’ve reviewed, such as the BS10’s or the AX5’s.

So, are the older Betron’s B750 budget wired earphones still worth purchasing in today’s age, when earbuds are the norm and can be purchased as cheaply as your older wired models?

Quick Verdict

A simple, lightweight set of clean-looking earphones that are fine for easy listening in the house.

The sound quality is better than you would usually get from similarly priced budget-style earphones, but it doesn’t excel at different ranges. The bass is ok but isn’t as strong as we were expecting.

They aren’t going to fit the bill if you’re looking for something for gaming, sports, phone calls or on-the-go use. However, there is a version of the B750s that has a built-in microphone that you can check out here.

Still worth considering a decade on from their release if they’re on sale as a budget set of earphones. If you’re looking for a dedicated set of earphones for listening to music, we would probably invest in something with a better overall sound quality.

Design and Build

-Body

There are 2 colours available in the non-microphone model. We purchased the black version, as the white looks like it’s been unavailable for a while now.

The black aluminium earphone housing has a nice, clean, and shiny look to it and does look fairly premium in terms of aesthetics.

They are quite low-profile and light in weight to hold. It doesn’t feel premium but merely what you’d expect from a budget model. We gave it a few bumps and drops just to see if anything broke or unexpected happened, but it still looked and sounded fine.

Overall: The sleek and minimalist design of the body is what you notice first when handling the B750s. The smaller housing matches the overall smaller driver size of 9.2mm well.

-Fit and Comfort

The fit and comfort are where the issues started for us when testing the B750s.

Although we liked the aesthetics and feel of the smaller body design, it does seem to create issues when it comes to their overall fit.

Being so small, they just didn’t seem to fit my ears at all and kept falling out easily. It didn’t take much movement for them to fall out, so I tried the different-sized rubber ear tips provided for a better fit.

Unfortunately, even after trying the different-sized tips, I still couldn’t get them to sit securely in my ear. Granted, I have larger-than-average lugs, but I couldn’t get them to feel even remotely secure in the ears. A poor fit seems to be quite common for most with this model, reading other reviews online.

In terms of comfort, it’s hard to judge because they didn’t feel uncomfortable for the short time they did stay in my ears.

Overall: The biggest negative we have with these is their poor fit. They just kept falling out regardless of what I tried with the rubber tips and angling them as best as I could. We wouldn’t recommend them for outdoor or sports use at all.

-Jack

It sports a gold L-shaped 3.5mm jack design, which, if we’re honest, we’re not a fan of. L-shaped jacks have their place, but in this case, we don’t like it.

The rubber jack housing feels fairly thin and flimsy at the connection, which is due to the cable design being so flat. With the cable being so flat and the L-shaped angle jack, it feels like it’ll snap easily if there’s any tugging or pulling of the cable.

Of course, we haven’t tested the robustness of the jack long-term, but can only give our initial impressions inspecting the jack.

Overall: It feels like if there’s any pressure applied to the cable, there’s a good chance it could snap at the connection to the jack. A straight jack design would have been better here in our opinion, especially considering the cable design.

-Cable

Leading on from our complaints about the jack, the cable design is a bit of a hit-and-miss for us overall also.

Advertised as an anti-tangle cable and being quite flat, it does do a decent job of not getting all tangled up like similar wired models. They do still tangle a little if you stuff them away in a pocket or such, but they can be unravelled fairly easily and quickly.

The flatter cable definitely helps with the anti-tangling aspect, but as mentioned above, we find it a bit of a drawback for the overall durability of the earphones.

We found because of the thin cable and the rubber material coating used, it felt a bit elastic band-ish and was getting caught on clothing frequently. This ties in with our complaints about the almost delicate feeling jack and that this, combined with the cable getting caught on clothes easily, feels like a bit of a recipe for breakage at the connector.

Again, no long-term testing has been done, but we will report back here somewhere down the line after using it more. These are just our initial thoughts on the cabling design.

Overall: The cable still tangles but less than your average wired models. We don’t like the flat design combined with the rubber used as it got caught easily on fabrics, creating more potential for breakage at the already weak feeling jack.

Sound Quality

We were pleasantly surprised by the sound output from the Betron B750s.

They were surprisingly good and clear from our testing, especially considering the price. However, it wasn’t too much of a shock as Betron generally has good-sounding budget headphones, earphones, and earbuds.

We tested them with some music, light gaming, podcasts, films and some generic videos.

The bass wasn’t as strong as we expected, but it still put out enough of a kick and didn’t dilute the other sounds from our testing. The Betron BS10s may be worth considering if you’re after something with a bit more bass.

The mids were decent and didn’t suffer, with vocals sounding fairly clear and better than many higher-end earphones we’ve tried.

Did they excel when listening to music or gaming? No. But they certainly still had enough about them to be used as a casual set of earphones, provided you can get them to stay in.

Obviously, they’re not designed with gaming in mind and don’t have an in-built microphone. The biggest drawback here is the fit of the earphones; they just weren’t snug enough in the ear for me.

Although we read quite a few negative reviews regarding the volume output, the volume felt really good for us straight out of the box when plugged into the computer we tested them on. They still weren’t as powerful as the other Betron models we’ve tried, but remember, these do have smaller drivers at 9.2 mm and don’t sit that well in the ear.

Overall: The Betron B750s had a balanced sound that didn’t excel anywhere but certainly had a clear sound. They’re ok for general browsing, watching films, listening to music in the background or some podcasts. We would recommend spending another few bucks to get something with a slightly better sound quality overall.

Features

No real notable features to the Betron B750s, though they are an older set of earphones. They do have passive noise isolation, are water-resistant and have an anti-tangle cable design.

If you’re looking for the older model with a microphone, they’re still knocking about on Amazon.

How Do They Compare With Other Betron Models We Tested?

VS The BS10s

The BS10s have a better sound overall to them. There’s not a lot in it in terms of clarity, but the BS10s definitely edge them. The one noticeable difference is that the BS10s pack more of a punch in terms of bass and volume than the B750s.

Sound Winner: BS10

There is a noticeable size difference between the 2 models. The B750s certainly have a smaller profile than the BS10s, but we prefer the larger drivers that the BS10s sport at 12mm and feel it adds an extra punch. If you’re looking for compactness, then the B750s are the better option.

We still found the BS10s to have an awkward fit to them, but they did sit in the ear better than the B750s. The BS10s fit had more to do with the shape of the earphones being quite awkward, whereas the B750s just felt too small overall to stay in.

Overall: The BS10 is the better option with slightly superior sound, though we wouldn’t recommend both for gaming, sports or on the go due to their poor fit. The B750s are slightly cheaper and only worth it over the BS10s if you’re after a cheap, low-profile pair that you can stuff away easily.

FAQs

Are There Other Versions of This Model?

Yes. There is a microphone version that’s still kicking around.

Who Should Buy Them?

Recommended For: If you want a cheap, low-profile set for knocking about the house casually or lying in bed listening to a podcast or some easy YouTube listening. Even though they are quite cheap, you get them on sale quite often online, making them worth considering if you’re very budget-conscious.

Not Recommended For: If you’re looking for an outdoors, sports or on the go set of earphones, go for something else. The fit is the worst aspect of this model and does bring it down considerably. Even though the sound is relatively clear, If music or gaming is a priority, look for alternatives with a better punch to the sound and a better fit.

Overall: If you’re on a budget and looking for something reliable, clear-sounding, small and lightweight that’s designed for casual listening, then the Betron B750s are worth picking up if they’re on sale. If they’re not on sale, we probably wouldn’t recommend them, as there are better alternatives in today’s budget earphones range with better sound and designs. The fit is the biggest negative overall and lets the model down quite a bit for us, though the experience and fit might be different for others.
