Features:
Memory Wire: The last 3" of each lead is reinforced with memory wire, which allows you to form custom-fit ear clips, so you can keep the earphones in your ears where they belong.
Sweatproof: The IPx4 ingress protection rating means that they earphones are save from damage caused by limited moisture exposure, such as that of splashing water, sweat, or light rain.
In-Line Mic/Controller: No need to fumble for your smartphone when you want to change tracks, volume level, or answer the phone. Just reach for the convenient in-line controller, which also contains the microphone for hands-free phone calls.
Superior Hi-Fidelity Sound: The 20Hz ~ 20kHz frequency response is enhanced by the use of the Qualcomm® aptX™ Audio codec, which provides for superior, noise-free sonic clarity when streaming audio over a Bluetooth® connection.
I have not tried these and I'm not an audiophile, so I'm not dissing them, and you should take my comments with a grain of salt.
The similarly-prices Monoprice buds I bought a few years ago got amazing reviews but were just okay, in my opinion - they sounded good, for the price. Not impressed, I upgraded with a pair of KZ ZSN Pro's, which are pretty amazing for under $20. There are other shockingly good "Chi-fi" options for around $20 or less, too, from KZ, CCA and a couple other names. My $40 KZ ZSN's sound better than the $150 Sennheisers I had until they got stolen. Just a heads up to anyone who wants quality sound but doesn't want to pay for Shure, Westone, or whatever.
Lots of earbuds sales lately but wondering best bang for buck like $20-$40 more in range of $20 my likeing. Where did you buy your KZ's , thanks in advance.

I've bought KZs from Amazon. Just watch out, because there can be multiple listings for the same thing at different price points. The ZSN is pretty good for around $20. I like the ZS10 a little better but not sure if they're worth twice the price, although $35-$45 still isn't bad at all. Ebay and aliexpress are also options, and possibly cheaper.
KZ makes bluetooth adaptors/cables, too. Not sure if you need that, but I'd definitely recommend upgrading to Comply-style foam tips. Personal preference, but I think they are more comfortable, fit better, and sound better. Generic brands are like $7.
I bought a set of these JBL Tune 115BT ones a couple years ago. They lasted a little less than a year of moderate use and then wouldn't power on. The manufacturer replaced them under warranty with refurbished ones, and now they've also failed in just under a year. Even when new, these JBL headphones had crackly audio. I doubt I'll ever buy another JBL or Harman product after this experience.
These Monoprice ones are practically disposable at $6 each, and I'll have a spare pair!
