As a local blogger and photographer, I prefer to shop local whenever possible. Headphone options seem to be endless, but not until recently was I able to buy a pair that originated right here in Sacramento. The problem with previous brands of headphones that I’ve tried is that they cost a fortune only to quit working after 6 months. Or, even worse, I lose an expensive pair and then I’m truly SOL. Local Sacramento resident, Garrett Marchesano, recognized these short-comings in the industry and set out to create a feature packed option at a reasonable price. Of course, I jumped at the chance to shop local and support a friend. However, the question is: Do These Stack Up?

Next up are the ear tip options. Take your choice because 8 different pairs are included. 3 sizes of silicone earbuds, 2 sizes of triple flange, and 3 sizes of foam tips. My go-to has been the medium silicone earbuds. They seal the ear nicely to drown out surrounding noise. I like options, though, and no one’s ears are the same. You’re sure to find something that works for you in the box.
Then, there’s the included charging cable. Any iPhone user knows the issue with these! They all end up failing after repeated use near the end. This is a high quality, braided cable that will last. Another small detail, but a nice touch indeed.
The remaining items in the box include a cable shortener, cable clip, user manual, and a Veosport EQ card. Veosport EQ is an app that was developed specifically for these headphones. For all of you audiophiles, it allows you to truly customize the sound to your liking. I’ll be honest, I haven’t used the app because I was impressed with the sound right out of the box! It’s an additional feature, though, that is not found with other brands.
The Headphones
So, what about the headphones?! As you can see above, these come with a ton of accessories, but what truly matters is the headphones themselves. These headphones fit into the ears with your choice of the included tips. To eliminate any chance of them falling out while running or exercising, they also have a neoprene hook that goes over the ear. This hook is way more flexible and forgiving than competing brands. I find these to be more comfortable after extended use.
Each end is connected together with a wire that is long enough to go in front of or behind the neck. As mentioned above, a cord shortener and clip is included for any excess that you may want to secure.
The volume and playback controls are integrated directly into the ear pieces. The benefit of this is that the design is well balanced on the head. When including the volume controls on the wire like other companies do, it causes one side to be heavier than the other which causes awkward bouncing of the wire when moving. Integrating the controls truly shows the thought put into the design.
Finally, what about the sound? I can’t call myself an audiophile, but I do enjoy how my favorite songs sound blasting from these headphones. No complaints here. I was especially impressed with the bass.

Athlete Endorsements:
Veosport has already garnered the attention of some top athletes. The first is my all-time favorite fighter, Urijah Faber. The second is fitness star, Whitney Miller. Both were thoroughly impressed by the sound of Veosport, and I’m happy to see the company getting recognition. Forget all of these athletes, though, what’s my final take?
Conclusion:
Simply put, Veosport headphones are the best value on the market. Tons of accessories, attention to detail in every aspect of the design, and performance to match that of other brands that cost three times as much. Really though, for $49.99 - $59.99, what’s stopping you from ditching your cords? Shop Local.
