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.

    For the price paid it is a very good headphone. Use it to watch and listen youtube videos and music, sound is clear with good bass.

    I like all the Sony headphones that I have ever purchased, including this one. The sound quality is very good. However, I don't really like the material of this headphones. Whenever I moved my head, I can hear noises clearly. For example, whenever the headphone cord moves and touches my closes, it produces noneligible noises. Whenever my hand touches the speaker (e.g., the portion of the headphone that is plugged in my ear), it produces noneligible noises. I think it may be because the material surrounding the speaker is some kind of hard plastic.

    Sony Earbuds have always come through for me providing excellent bass at a reasonable price. When you look at the specs on the packaging you will see that the frequency response is unmatched. Bose and Beats do not provide specs if they did you'll see that Sony smokes both of them. These babies bump. Hip-Hop lovers you will not be disappointed!!

    Good quality, good sound at a decent price. I would recommend these to someone who doesn’t want to spend a ton of money on earbuds. I had to buy a separate adapter for my iPad/iPhone though.

    Great as an option outside of the Bluetooth headset. I own the Jabra 65 e headset and the Sony MDR XB 50 does exactly what I need them to do. Caught them on sale for $30. Put the protection plan on them to make sure I'm covered against the accidents or technical misfortunes that come with traveling. The headset adapts well to my ears. Only 3 sets of cushions included. As much as I listen to music, I am impressed with the duration of time that I am able to keep the headsets inside of my ears. Plenty of power.

    They fit very nicely, great sound. I bought Bose wired earbuds the day before, wasn’t happy with them at all, returned them, then bought these. Much happier with these.

    My new favorite headphones

    These little buds blew away my expectations. I've spent a decade working in audiovisual industries, and two more as an audiophile, so I'm disgustingly picky. These little buds produce stunning low end response with zero top end distortion at levels probably too loud for continued use (which I love). These provide a large degree of outside sound blocking, so probably not the best if you need to hear traffic while running/biking, but for the treadmill, the office, or the couch, these sound amazing, even on streamed or compressed music. I would say these are 90% of the sound quality of my aviation-grade BOSE noise-cancelling headphones at $2200. FAR better than I expected, and I use them WAY more than I intended.

    Got these as a handy inexpensive option for my wife as she works out every morning. Though relatively inexpensive the sound quality and durability so far are great.
