- Pros mentioned:Bass, Listening to music, Price
Rating 5 out of 5 stars with 1 review
Best bang for your buck.
|Posted .Pros mentioned:Bass, Listening to music, PriceI recently purchased these earbuds by Sony and I absolutely love the sound quality they provide. I was considering several different pair. I also looked at, and eventually purchased, the Klipsch R6. I also considered the Skull Candy strum. I listened to both the Sony and the Klipsch offering, using the same music from the same device so that I would have a accurate comparison. Both pair offer excellent rich sound for such a tiny speaker. Both have great bass and mid level sound. There are 4 differences between the two offerings in my opinion. 1. The Klipsch are more comfortable. They fit my ears perfectly. They are almost like having nothing in my ear at all. Great snug fit. I workout in my earbuds so that's important. The Sony pair seem more durable though. And they are not uncomfortable. They just aren't as comfortable by comparison. 2. Both pair have great bass and lows. The Sony offering had better high level sound though. The vocals are crisp and the horns are clear and bright. The Sony buds are extremely well balanced in my opinion. 3. The Sony buds have better styling and color. (If that matters to you.) 4. The Klipsch offering costs about twice as much. Winner: Sony I'm not paying Twice as much unless your product is twice as good. For the price, I haven't owned a better pair of earbuds. I'm not a fan of the bass heavy Beats. I listen to almost all types of music so I while I do love great bass from a speaker, I don't want to sacrifice clarity and balance. Sony offers it all for a great price.

Good quality budget earbuds!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros: really good bass for its tier/price(rivals and maybe even kind of betters my other actively used WIRED earbuds such as UrBeats3 and it easily blows the Earpods); blocks lots of noises, long, flat, non-tangle cables, right angle 3.5mm plug, really bright blue color, universal compatibility with use of lightning or usb-c adapters and...it's made by Sony. Cons: the buds protrude ways out than I would like them to be and it makes listening while laying on my side uncomfortable..need to take one off; no buttons for volume control(need an app or something but no thanks), mic quality for calls is so-so due to farther than usual placement of the mic itself and with the use of the bigger bud tips..uhh..it makes weird plastic-y noises when inserting into my ears. Even with the downsides...I still recommend and rate this excellent because the pros outweigh the cons.

Sony earphone
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought these Bluetooth earphones and they are so comfortable so much and I would recommend them to anyone. what I love about them is that they are wireless and for I phone users it is very hard to connect the wire earphones to the phone while you also need to charge but this Bluetooth Sony earphones can help me play music or listen while charging too. they can be used in a long trip and that is because they can keep power for a long time I would recommend them to anyone.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Bass, Sound qualityIm not really for listening music or movies with earbuds, they always seem to come out my ear. I like to use headphones over the ear. So i decided to get the JBL-Live 400BT for $100. There nice but they dont get loud enough and the bass is weak. I then got the Sony WH-XB700 for $130. Again, they sound good but not enough bass and doesnt get loud enough. But the Sony - MDRXB50 earbuds, surprised me. Not only does these earbuds have enough bass, the get really loud and the way they are designed they curve into your ear. Plus, they are $30... REALLY GREAT EARBUDS.

Q: QuestionWhat earbud would block out snoring?I'm looking for an earbud that will block out snoring that I can use with my MP3 Player. I'm considering the Sony Model MDRE9LPBLU or Sony MDRXB50AP/R. Will either (or both) block out the snoring noise while I listen to Pink Noise or Meditation music? HELP!!! I'm desperate! Or, please refer me to a VERY comfortable (in my ear) earbud that will work. Moderately priced would be appreciated. I don't need this to use with my phone....just my mp3 in bed. Thanks.

Q: QuestionAre these compatible for listening to movies provided by airlines?
Asked by Razz.
- A:Answer Yes. They simply plug into the audio jack on the seat. Because they have an L-shaped plug, they are easier to deal with for those seats where the audio jack is pressed against your side.
