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.

    Sounds good but bad assembly

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After 1 month of usage the back cover where all the wires are snapped off and that side doesnt sound as good anymore. On the left side the hard piece of sliding plastic on the cord also became disconnected from the earbud and it no longer stays in my ear properly. I called Sony and they refused to warranty the item because of physical damage even though it was caused during normal use meaning it wasnt smashed, thrown, etc.

    They sounded incredible! But they just didn't fit well in my ears. They rested funny on my ears and cause quite a bit of pain so I ended up returning them but other than that I loved the sound it was excellent balance! Definitely give them a try to see if they fit your ears!

    I have some JVC XX ha-fr201 and they sound the same to me(sound is subjective) but cost a third of the portion that these Sony mdrxb50 do .The sony fit was uncomfortable and painful for me but it might fit well for you. everyone loves the earbuds so I had see what the hype was about and they are right they are good but not for me

    great sound quality not so great build quality

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These are some of the best sounding in ear headphones I've ever purchased and offer great noise cancellation due to their snug fit: however the build quality isn't the best these headphones lasted about 2 to 3 months before the right side stopped producing sound.

    Ok...... BUT!!! left earbud keeps dying

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have always gone Sony with any music related purchase I make even though minimal. I constantly bought the same pair of earbuds for years from Sony because they were cheap and amazing, then i finally decided to make a small upgrade. I was a previous Best Buy employee and backed any product I had purchased and let me just say these earbuds are amazing but i am so disappointed in Sony for not making them a better quality. The LEFT earbud progressively dies within a weeks time after purchase. I am currently on my second pair and am going threw a circus to return them to the manufacturer. I am going to give them one last chance, lets hope the third time is the charm. If this next pair fails to work I will leave another review and ALERT anyone who decides to purchase these. If I still worked at Best Buy I would never let anyone walk out of the store with these, due to my current experience with them. STEP YOUR GAME UP SONY!

    Pretty tinny

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought these to replace an old set of Sennheiser CX-300. These Sonys were the same price point $30ish. And since I have tons of Sony equipment I thought these would be great replacements. Unfortunately, after 3 months of using them I haven't liked them. They don't have enough isolation no matter which ear cap I use. The sound is a bit tinny which my Sennheisers were not. If I didn't have something to compare it too, I think these would be great earbuds. I like the L connector, feels solid and strong. The cable material feels premium. The carry bag is helpful to keep them from getting tangled and messed up in my backpack. I'm now in the market for a new pair of Sennheiser earbuds to replace these Sonys.

    I know I know a lot of people choose fancy products of high prices with low quality but I rather choose something of a fair price with high quality. I love my new earbuds. Thank you Best Buy for having this product.

    Love Sony products. Great sound. Unfortunately, the back ear piece broke after three weeks of careful handling. Love the sound I ended rebuying. I guess I will ask Sony if it's still under warranty.

    Microphone stopped working less than 2 months

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The microphone for the earbuds purchased less than 2 months back is completely shot. It was working on and off for about a week and completely stopped today. I quite didn't expect Sony to have such poor quality. I do understand I didn't pay premium (unlike as in Bose), however I hoped better from Sony. Definitely not the experience I was hoping for.
