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.

Decent quality, but there are better options.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As advertised, these earbuds have abundant low end, but they lack balance across all frequencies. The highs are a little muted and the mids feel slightly saturated. Bottom line, they aren't obnoxious but they also aren't worth spending top money. If they show up on sale for $19 or $25, they're worth it. If they're full retail, save you're money for something with a little more clarity. By the way, the flat cord is a a nice touch. Feels more sturdy. Also, I swapped the standard silicone cushions for a pair of memory foam and the noise isolation improved dramatically.

Solid deal on durable headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wear headphones while I walk my dog, mow the lawn, and pretty much whenever I am moving around. These headphones have been great so far, the ear buds stay in very well (MUCH better than any I've owned before) and when they are pulled out accidentally when the cord snags on something, I've never had to go searching for the ear bud cover. I've been through about 5 sets of headphones in the past year or two, and these are so far seem the most durable with quality sound.

You can pay more but it is not necessary.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This style of earphone (flexible / in - ear, lightweight) is inherently fragile. No matter what brand you buy or how much you pay, they all become a casualty of carelessness or ordinary wear and tear, rendering them useless. Try these for decent sound quality at a price that won't make you cry WHEN you damage or lose them. People make a big deal over the newer "designer" brands but i.m.h.o. none of them are any better than the work of the sound experts at Sony, Bose, or BLAUPUNKT. High prices and popular celebrity names do not necessarily = high quality ANYTHING.

Awsome Earbud
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of music is outstanding when I used the Sony Earbud and it block the surrounding noise. I can just relax when I listen to my music now due to the new Sony earbud that I bought at Best Buy.

Good sounding earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these on what seemed like a decent sale price, however, I think they are also older stock at this point because when I went to a Sony website/app listed in the directions, these were not on the listing, a different model was. That is probably the only negative thing I can say. They fit my ears. The sound is very rich. The noise canceling feature blocks out enough ambient noise for me and then makes the sound quality as rich as it is. I like the design. I use them with a Samsung S10.

Sounds ok for the average person
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bass is very boomy. I like that everyonce in awhile but when it comes to listening to rock it drowns everything out. Well except for the super highs. I think my skull candy Titans sound way better and they were cheaper.

Very good earphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good earphones. The bass they provide is very enjoyable. The only issue I had was they can kinda hurt your ears if you don't put the right size earbuds on. I wish they had some type of volume control like the old song earphones had back in the days.

Exceptional earbuds
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I prefer large, external headphones. But these are quite good. Plenty of bass, mid, and just enough treble. Good definition and separation. Most important, they offer some protection against a wide range of potentially disruptive noise and buzz. They are of great value on a subway train. They are of great value on Apple cellular products. Especially if one listens to music on Amazon's app, which doesn't benefit from any in-OS equalization. A bit pricey; if you see them on sale, go for it. Recommended.

Great sound quality!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to go with Ear Buds instead of a head set that covers the ears. I get better results with ear buds. Sony always delivers on product quality. These provide terrific sound for a great price! The bass is not excessive and is just what I need! A great deal!

These earbuds rock.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't think you can find a better pair of earbuds for the money. I opted for plug in/wired ear buds for my laptop to make sure they didn't get lost, and having yet another device to charge did not appeal to me. They have great sound, surprisingly good bass, and do a good job of cancelling out background noise thanks to the soft but snug fit. I watch a lot of videos and listen to music at night on my laptop, and these have been perfect. Five stars all the way.

Excellent sound
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for a long plane ride across the ocean and to replace an aging set I had. The sound quality and Bass from these is impressive. The default set of ear Fels fit perfectly, but it came with 2 other sizes just in case. Had a nice little holder too. The cord type is flat and wide reducing the tangling aspect. I really like these. I was reluctant on the price, but it was definitely worth it.

Great buds!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best ear buds I've purchased so far! I broke by over the ear noise canceling headphones on a trip and needed something for a 6 hour flight home. I ran into the store to get these and wow. I was able to drown out all the noise from the plane and surrounding things with these little guys. Not the mention the bass they put out is unheard of. Definitely recommend these ear buds.

Value for the money, holds true at the low end.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have plenty of good-quality pre-bluetooth-everywhere legacy gear that needs wired headphones. I have been using these earbuds twice daily for about 2 months now. They are comfortable in my ears, provide decent sound isolation from outside noise (e.g. people talking, subway brakes, leaf blower), fit under ear-muff hearing protection (for really noisy backgrounds like gasoline powered lawn mowers), and provide decent low frequency response unlike so many earbuds that are anemic at the low end (when compared to playing the same material on open speakers). The microphone works quite well, in fact one team told me too well as it picked up background noises before I could mute on the conference call. The cords are rectangular, rather than round, in cross section, and seem sturdier. Only time will tell if the cord-to-plug connection holds up to ordinary use over the long term. With thin cord earbuds I've experienced open circuit failures, right where the cord enters the plug's strain relief. My last 2 thin round cord earbuds failed at about 15-18 months use - first occasionally loosing connection then getting more frequent until permanent failure. This was gradual rather than an abrupt sudden failure after an incident like a yank or drop.

Sony Earbud Headset - MDRXB50AP/B
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones wee purchased for my flight to Okinawa. They held up very well against the plane & passenger noise. Overall, they are excellent earbuds for any type of player. I used mine to watch a couple of movies and listen to mp3's. The sound quality was great as to be expected from any good Sony product. Highs were clear without being harsh and the lows were nice and deep, without the warped rumblings of a cheap speaker. For the money, they are an excellent choice.
