I purchased the wired earbuds for me to use with my cellphone as a senior citizen. I love them because they are lightweight and slender, Being black in color, they seem to disappear. Plugs fit snuggly and don't fall out. The sound is awesome.

It is good so far! It matches with the cover of my iPad. It keeps me occupied watching movies while waiting at the airport and listen privately.

Whether there are any legitimate dangers from wireless headphones is a separate discussion. But if you have concerns, then this is a great solution for you. The sound quality is good. Obviously not great since there’s no noise canceling tech. As with any wired headphones, you will have to deal with the tangling wires when you use them. Also, it does take up your device’s USB C port while in use. But the great advantage of a wired headset is that you will never have to worry about charging them! Also, no need for any firmware updates. It’s just plug and play forever! Sometimes a peace of mind is better than the convenience of wireless freedom. Cheers!

Hi EricC,
It brings us great satisfaction to hear that you are enjoying the plug-and-play simplicity and peace of mind that comes with the Sony IER-EX15C.
You made an excellent point about the reliable perks of going wired. While managing cables and keeping the USB-C port occupied are part of the classic wired experience, never having to worry about battery life or firmware updates is a massive win for daily listening. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the sound isolation, and we are glad the audio quality is delivering a solid experience for you.
Thank you for choosing Sony to bring you that hassle-free peace of mind.
Regards,
Dominick

For phones and devices with USB-C (like my new iPhone 17) these wired headphones are an inexpensive way to upgrade your layering experience above the standard wired AirPods (which don’t even come with the new phones anyway.) Comfortable in-ear buds that drown out external noise pretty well once you find the right size of foam tip. Really great sound quality with surprisingly strong low end (bass) and deep soundstage. I’ve used the mic for phone calls and the person on the other end said the sound quality was identical to wired AirPods. The cable is flat and surprisingly not stiff (a complaint I’ve had about the Beats wired earbuds.)

Sometimes when I run for long distances, the music will just shut off. It also seems like the connection to the cell phone might be the issue. Otherwise, I think the audio is fine and the calling features appears to be okay. but since the headphones can't handle long distances and prolonged use with sweat, I have not used it in a while and would not likely recommend it for runners.

I don't normally have anything to say about a $10 product, but this particular $10 product is a bit of an intention getter. First of all everybody's all about wireless. I will always have a place on my phone and in my heart for wired headphones they do just sound better. They drain the battery less and it's direct connection so no chance of losing signal. But the most ultimate thing you need to know is that these headphones have been in my pockets and accidentally got in the washing machine twice. And survived and still worked. That's all the review you need. Case clothes You got $10 and need some headphones, Sony got you, high and low.

The Sony USB‑C Wired In‑Ear Headphones offer surprisingly decent sound quality for their price. The audio is clear and balanced, making them great for everyday listening, calls, and podcasts. One thing they do well is blocking out ambient noise. Even without active noise cancellation, the in‑ear seal reduces outside sounds enough to stay focused while commuting or working. The built‑in microphone works fine overall, but it does pick up some background noise while driving or in louder environments. It’s still usable — just not perfect if you make a lot of calls on the go. Aside from that, I’ve had no major issues. They’re simple, reliable, and convenient if you need USB‑C wired earbuds. Overall: A solid and hassle‑free pair of wired headphones with good sound and decent passive noise isolation.

Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful review, Carlos!
We are so glad to hear that your IER-EX15C headphones are serving you well as a reliable, everyday companion. It’s great to know that the passive noise isolation from the in-ear seal is helping you stay focused during your commutes!
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the microphone performance in louder environments. While we aim for clear voice pickup, we understand that background noise can occasionally sneak in when you're on the go. We’ll certainly share those observations with our product team. There really is something to be said for the "plug-and-play" convenience of a solid USB-C wired connection!
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team

These headphones are much more affordable than many of the other options on the market, and they’re made by Sony, a reputable company that has been making headphones for decades. I really like these as a “stash-in-your-bag” pair of headphones—the kind you keep handy for situations where you don’t need anything fancy. They’re great for airplane travel when you need a wired connection to watch the in-flight entertainment, or for making a quick meeting call from a crowded coffee shop. They’re not necessarily the headphones I’d choose as my primary pair, but for the price and convenience, they’re hard to beat. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase.

The bud part does not stay as secure as the older lightning model for some reason. It does what it needs to do but Sony should not mess with what works. Will recommend for home use only. If you are out, it will come out of your ears as it is not very secure.
