New Head-Fier
Pros: Lightweight, accessories, great sound
Cons: lack of volume control, wires seem to be a bit thin
Notes:
I used these earbuds mainly on the bus during my commute and will later use them while working out to see how they hold up. 
I mostly listened to movie soundtracks and hip hop music while either on the Surface 3 Pro (Windows 10) or on the OnePlus 3 device (Android 7.0). 

Accessories and Design:
I believe the Mixcder X5 exceeds expectations in this area. The product comes with a sturdy looking case and a carabiner. This is very nice to carry the earbuds around while keeping the safe,
Additionally, there are three different sizes of ear tips, two sizes of ear hooks, and a small clip. 
The combination of the ear hooks and earbud design keeps the earbuds in my ear. I don't have much trouble with the earbuds falling out of my ear.
The only problem I had was that  the earbuds felt slightly bulky in my ear, but I assume my ears are smaller than average. 
The earbuds feel sturdy and the wires seem durable. However, for me, the wires are a little too thin and round which resulted in some minor tangle issues. 
Overall, the earbuds felt really light and I could easily wear them for extended hours without feeling extra weight. 

Sound:
I will be comparing the Mixcder X5 with the Skullcandy Ink'd 2 Wired earbuds since both are similar in pricing and claim to have quality sound. 
The first thing I noticed was that these earbuds seem to block out exterior noises. If a person is  having a regular conservation, I can barely hear them and closer sounds are muffled. 
I'm not an avid music listener, but after listening to some songs, I find that the lows, mids, and highs are relatively neutral.
The vocals are distinct and the overall sound is very comfortable to listen to.
There does not seem to be any static or breaks throughout the listening experience. 

Summary: 
Overall, the Mixcder X5 Wired are a fantastic pair of inexpensive, quality-sounding earbuds.
If you prefer earbuds that block out most outside noises, this is great.
For what you get in the box and the build quality of earbuds, these are much better than earbuds with similar pricing.
