Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the superb sound quality, deep bass, and comfortable fit of these earbud headphones. Many appreciate their lightweight design and reasonable price. A common suggestion is the addition of volume control on the cord. The tangle-free cord is also a frequently praised feature.

    The sound is excellent! Absolutely no complaints in that department. Physically they are a bit clunky. The ear buds are larger than I am accustomed to, but again -- the sound is top notch!

    Mega bass heavy

    I knew theses were bass heavy buying them, but wow, the amount of bass in these things is insane! The bass quality is middle ground, so not super tight but not too flabby either, and a whole lot of it. Highs are prominent but not too fatiguing and mids are there but they take a back seat to everything else . So I give it 5 stars for what it's designed for. I have a hard time listening to music with them though, just way too much bass for my taste. But they're a lot of fun to watch movies with :)

    I like my Sony - MDRXB50 earbuds. I have had them about a year and the sound seems good to me. I also like the attractive blue color and finish overall. On the down side, both earbuds eventually started to separate at the middle of the body. Once this happened I could snap them back together but it occurred more and more frequently. Finally, I applied some superglue and they are good as new again.

    Sound gets better after the initial burn-in, however, while the bass is there, the overall sound of these headphones is just not fulfilling...

    I have tried many earbud(dies), but the Sony - MDRXB50 Wired Earbud Headphones have been, by far, the best-sounding ones. I use them with my Samsung phone in addition to my iPad Pro and the equalization distribution is great: no genuine need for extra EQ when using them with the iPad, and not genuinely necessary with a cell phone, depending on the cell phone's own interior electronics (i.e., audio impedance/output etc.). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    This isn't quite what everyone would expect as a review, but these things are really good for gaming. If you're an FPS player, streamer, or gamer who sits down for more than a few hours, you know over-the-ear headphones will give you fatigue really badly. Don't buy into the hype of "gaming" headphones and just get good balanced audio sound.
