Sony - EX14AP Wired Earbud Headphones - Blue

Pro: Audio Quality: BASE and Treble pretty decent with MID or Large size rubber earbud snap-ons. Base is not great when used with the smallest size plug. Its worth the price you pay for on the go headset. Works with iphone with lightning adapter ( not included). Con: picks up wind noise on audio calls , so other user can not hear well. DOES NOT have Vol. Control on the H/P earbud, need to use it on the iphone - small inconvenience.

I bought these headphones to use for meditation purposes only. I don't use them for communication on the phone. The quality is very poor and people could hardly hear you. I would recommend these earphones for listening purposes only. Anything other than that....cheap...cheap...cheap.

Best Buy has the some of the best earbuds.I've shopped at many places...from here to the West Coast and back.And Best Buy always delivers.Best Buy even rewards customers with $5.00 towards purchases.Best Buy really appreciates the customer.I spent money on a nice and expensive tablet a day before the 4th of July.Which keeps on giving ... especially around this time of year...which is Christmas.A time of year when so many are wanting to open a gift and find a tablet or laptop.For that purchase Best Buy rewarded me.Go out and buy one...they might reward you with thanks and awesome customer service too.

Like my title says, they do sound pretty decent. They are very light weight and pretty comfortable, I have even fell asleep while watching a YouTube video before bed on my Samsung Galaxy note 5 using these earphones and i noticed no discomfort at all. When it comes to sound they sound very bright and what I mean by that is that the higher frequencies overkill the low frequencies by about 50% the bass response which is the lower end frequencies can be heard ok but it's not as loud as I would like it to be, when it comes to Bass on a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 7 as it is much to be desired, you can hear it but not as loud as the higher frequencies. Now when it comes to the cord on the earphones, it is honestly very flimsy and feels like if I accidentally yank it a little too hard, the cable can tare off from the earphone making them useless. When it comes to phone calls, some people.can hear me pretty clear and some hear my voice muffled. I can answer and end calls with it but the volume control doesn't work but it's not a big deal for me. I can compare these easily to the earphones you get with most Android smartphones like my samsung note 2 and 3. My note 5 didnt come with any so I also had a pair of klipsch XR8i Hybrid earphones which I really liked due to their awesome bass response and clarity but unfortunately I cannot recommend them because they are extremely expensive and though they sound good, they were replaced 3 times by the 1 year warranty because 1 tweeter driver on the left side and 1 woofer driver on the right side kept breaking inside the earphones which was weird. Once the 1 year warranty was over, the last replacement pair broke in 2 months of use for the same exact reason and I only used them at night watching Netflix, YouTube and some Anime off of Funimation and Crunchyroll at low to medium volume, so that is why I bought these cheaper Sony earphones to replace the expensive ones. Now for the price of these Sony earphones under twenty dollars, they do the job well and serve my purpose of bedtime YouTube video watching till I fall asleep. Would I recommend them? Yes because they get the job done and they are very affordable and very comfortable too so if these break, I can simply order another pair with no problem of breaking the bank vs the klipsch earphones that costed me almost $300.00 dollars. They sounded excellent while they worked but not worth it. BestBuy is no longer selling the XR8i's either because of faulty parts in the driver's. Anyways do not expect these to have a good amount of bass because they don't really have it however they do sound decent and get the job done. In the picture below you will see my new cheap Sony earphones in the right vs my Expensive paper weight edition klipsch earphones on the left.

So I've always loved music and sound and am kind of an audiophile. I've had higher end earbuds like the now discontinued Sony Ex-1000. These were about $500+ and sounded great until they broke after 3-4 years of me traveling and doing crazy stuff. Then I bought the Shure 215 in ear monitors. These also sounded great and just as good as the $500 earbuds at about $100. Unfortunately the fit on these things were terrible and the detachable cable kept causing the sound to cut out when I moved vigorously during a workout or for work. After 2+ years of daily use, after one crazy day in the woods... I just lost them... I also have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 Headphones. They sound great, but they're not convenient and at the time I bought them almost a decade ago, they were quite expensive. After that I was like forget this, I'm getting some cheap Earbuds to hold me over. And you know a not-so-huge surprise was that these earbuds sounded great! Also, because of their compact size and light weight, it's easy to be active with these. Maybe the other more expensive earbuds better, but I can't tell the difference. And they are cheap and common so if you lose them, it's not a big deal, just buy another pair. I facepalm myself for spending that much money on earbuds over the years and fulfilling the "gullible audiophile" stereotype. Oh well... Live and learn. For any audiophiles that are active and on a budget.... like poor college students, a good setup are these earbuds($15), and a good bluetooth DAC like the FiiO BTRK3 ($70) or the Earstudio ES100 ($90). These Bluetooth adapters sound great, and are very convenient. Dedicated Bluetooth earbuds are too expensive for the quality and durability... Also get a small protective hard case so that your gear will last longer. It's a good investment and costs between $5-$15. I've had my setup for about 2 years now and it's still strong. With that setup that cost about $115, you will have something that sounds just as good as setups costing thousands of dollars and is very versatile. You can use this setup on your phone, tablet, laptop, PC, whatever..

These are really good earphones. I listen to music and TV on my phone, the sounds are so clear and crisp. I also use them as a backup to my Bluetooth to talk on the phone. I love them!

I spent more time detangling the extremely thin cord (spaghetti thin), than actually using the ear plugs; chucked them away...what a waste of my money. I usually read reviews before making purchases, however, I was in a hurry (MY FAULT) and allowed myself to run w/ a brand such as SONY, with a good reputation in electronics. THAT will never happen again.

These budget earbuds are 100% worth the money. Here’s a list of things that I enjoy from these Sony earbuds: -Great audio-quality. Their audio quality is amazing and don’t compare to a regular earbud’s audio-quality. -Feels comfortable in the ear. The earbud’s tip feels amazing, almost like silicon. They don’t fall out of the ear easily and they even include another set of tips, just in case! -Easy to take anywhere with you. These earbuds are the perfect length for traveling or bringing them with you somewhere. -They’re cheap. Cheap! Cheap earbuds for all of these features mentioned? Mentioned? There are still some features that aren’t in this review! In conclusion, they’re amazing and should probably replace your old and almost-broken earbuds.
