What owners think
The Word on the Street
How owner sentiment changed over time
ExclusiveBased on when customers actually wrote their reviews - so you can see whether early praise held up.
- Q1 202650/100
Buyers have mixed experiences: one praises clear sound, one calls it a counterfeit headache, and one says comfort and sound are okay for the price.
- Clear music listening and working well reported
- Counterfeit product and false advertising complaint
- Decent sound for price but not very comfortable
- Controls and microphone comfortable to use
- Q2 202433/100
Reviews are mixed. One buyer praises bass and authenticity, another warns of defective buttons and volume issues, and a third finds them adequate but lacking bass.
- Defective buttons cause random volume changes and app openings. Not recommended for music.
- Genuine product with strong bass, matching original AKG quality for some users.
- Good value with clear sound and long cable, but weak bass and poor noise isolation.
- Earbuds snag easily and fall out; common design flaw.

The proof
Performance
The 3.5mm dynamic drivers pump out a sound profile that sits right around average for this category, but the bass is where these things actually shine. Multiple owners rave about the low end, which is rare at this price. The 16Ω impedance means they're easy to drive from any phone. But the mic quality is a real letdown, and the volume controls have a nasty habit of dying when exposed to sweat. So if you're a gym person, these are a gamble.

vs Competition
Stacked against the Soundcore P31i or Anker Space A40, the Bhvrtls SL002 loses on every front except price and the fact that it's wired. The Anker Space A40 has actual ANC and wireless convenience, while the EarFun Air Pro TW230B gives you better build quality and a usable mic. But none of those are $17. If you need a cheap wired backup for a Samsung phone, the Bhvrtls makes sense. If you want something that'll last and sound good on calls, skip it.

Price
Value & Pricing
At around $17 USD, these are a no-brainer if you just want decent wired sound and don't care about the mic. But the European pricing is wild, 55-57 EUR for these is a straight-up bad deal. If you're paying that much, get something better.

Overview
The Bhvrtls SL002 is basically a budget clone of the AKG earbuds Samsung used to toss in the box. And honestly, for the price, it nails the sound part. Bass is punchy, audio is clear, and if you just want wired earbuds that don't sound like tin cans, these do the job. But the mic is rough, and the build feels like it's one sweaty workout away from giving up.
Common Questions
Q: Will these work with my Samsung Galaxy phone?
Yes, they're designed for Galaxy devices with a 3.5mm jack. If your phone doesn't have a headphone jack, you'll need a dongle.
Q: Are these good for working out?
No. The volume controls are known to malfunction when exposed to sweat, and the earbuds can pop out during movement. Get something with an IP rating instead.
Q: How's the microphone for phone calls?
Honestly, it's bad. Multiple users report poor mic quality. If you take a lot of calls, these aren't the right pick.
Who Should Skip This
If you need a reliable mic for calls or plan to sweat in these, this isn't it. Go grab a pair of Soundcore P31i or EarFun Air Pro TW230B instead. And if you're in Europe paying 55+ EUR, just walk away, that's highway robbery for what you're getting.
Verdict
Buy these if you lost your Samsung earbuds and just want something cheap with good bass. Don't buy them if you care about microphone quality, sweat resistance, or build durability. They're a one-trick pony, but that trick is decent sound for pocket change.
