Audiofly AF33 In-Ear Headphones Review + Contest [Win One of Three Pairs!]

How I came to know about Audiofly was more than just a bit serendipitous. Walking around the massive halls of the MGM Grand during this year’s CES opening night, I stumbled upon a small table behind which a couple excited Australians were showing off their wares.

Audiofly is a relatively new company, releasing their first product in 2011 and expanding slowly throughout the world. They’ve inked deals with retailers Best Buy Canada and EB Games (who currently have it on sale for $29.99), and cater to both the entry-level and high-end market. While I’ve tried the company’s amazing $199 AF78 in-ear headphones, it was after trying their entry-level fare, the $39.99 AF33, that I knew we had to get a contest going.

These are easily the best in-ear headphones I’ve tried in the under-$50 price range, with accurate mids, subtle and uniform treble and pounding base. Moreover, the headphones don’t fall out of your ears, and the kit comes with a bag of silicon replacements for different ear canal sizes. While the default size fit perfectly in my ears, I had success with a number of them.

The AF33’s lack in-line controls for your iPhone or Android, but select models do come with a microphone, making it easy to take phone calls while listening to music. They also strike the right balance between noise isolation and external awareness: unlike flange-tipped headphones that attempt to close your ear canal completely to block all external noise, the AF33’s mask external noise without endangering you and the ones around you.

In short, the Audiofly AF33’s are much better than the equivalently-priced Apple EarPods, and are worth seeking out if you’re looking to get an inexpensive pair of in-ear headphones. The company’s more expensive range, particular the excellent AF78’s, are worth considering as well.

The AF33’s come in multiple colours, including white, black, blue, red and pink.

Like I said earlier, the second I heard these headphones I wanted to run a contest to give away a few pairs. Audiofly was generous enough to provide three pairs of AF33’s for a contest, so that’s what we’re going to do.

All you have to do to win one of these awesome accessories is to follow us on Twitter and retweet this contest, and leave a comment below with your favourite song of the moment.

Contest is only open to Canadians (except those in Quebec, sorry!) and it closes on Friday, May 31st.

Good luck to all who enter!
