Wired In-Ear Earphones With Mic Matte Black (ZBW4354TY) Review
For weeks, I’ve been putting the Piston Fresh Bloom (Model Number: ZBW4354TY) wired in-ear earphones through their paces. These matte black earbuds promise crisp sound and powerful bass, ideal for an active lifestyle. But do they deliver on that promise? Let’s dive in.
The ZBW4354TY boasts several features designed for convenience and durability. The tangle-free cord is a welcome addition, preventing the frustration of untangling before each use. Their compact size makes them easy to slip into a pocket or bag, perfect for on-the-go listening. The in-ear design provides a decent seal, minimizing outside noise, although not to the extent of noise-cancelling headphones.

Sound quality is, of course, paramount. The Piston Fresh Bloom earphones deliver a surprisingly rich audio experience. The bass is definitely pronounced, as advertised, without overpowering the mids and highs. I found them excellent for listening to various genres, from upbeat pop to more intricate instrumental pieces. The clarity is impressive, particularly when listening to podcasts or audiobooks. I tested them during intense workouts (running and weightlifting), and they remained securely in my ears, even during high-impact movements. The microphone performed adequately for calls, though it’s not exceptional in noisy environments.
However, at higher volumes, there’s a slight distortion noticeable. It’s not overwhelmingly bad, but it’s something to be aware of. The volume control could also be improved; it’s somewhat fiddly to adjust precisely.
Pros:
- Strong, well-defined bass
- Good clarity and overall sound quality
- Secure fit, ideal for workouts
- Tangle-free cord
- Compact and portable
Cons:
- Slight distortion at higher volumes
- Microphone performance could be better in noisy settings
- Volume control is somewhat inconvenient
Overall, the Piston Fresh Bloom (ZBW4354TY) in-ear earphones are a solid option for those seeking affordable, durable, and well-sounding earbuds for everyday use and workouts. While they have a few minor drawbacks, their strong performance in terms of sound quality and secure fit outweigh these shortcomings. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable pair of wired earbuds.
