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.

    While I anticipate that there will be a number of uses for these earbuds, the motivating reason to get them was a transcontinental airplane flight. While not advertised as noise cancelling, they very effectively blocked out all cabin noise and even brought out the doppler effect of waves crashing on the beach clearly. These little buds are a great value for the modest investment.

    After wrestling over whether to buy headphones or earbuds for the office (work in an open space), I am so glad I found these. I listened to many options up to $150, and almost dismissed the MDRXB50s thinking that the budget priced earbuds would produce lackluster performance. I was dead wrong. They sound amazing, clear from low to high frequency, with deep, punchy bass. I switched the ear cushions to the next larger size and noise reduction is thorough. People no longer complain about not being able to hear me when talking on the phone (good mic). The cord is of larger circumference so it doesn't tangle like others. I could not be happier!

    Bought these as a Christmas present for my wife as her old headphones were old to say the least. She really likes the sound quality and particularly the bass feature.

    These earbuds are great for the price, totally worth it. Bass level is impressive, and sound isolation is pretty good too. Not gonna get much better quality for this price range. Highly recommend
