 "Great sound...but uncomfortable." | 2009-06-14 |

| For the price, these are a great set of in-the-ear headphones. The sound quality rivals much more expensive models. The design also makes it difficult to accidentally yank them from your ears, which is a plus. However, the comfort level leaves a lot to be desired. The rubberized inserts are too hard to conform properly to the ear canal making them uncomfortable to have in for any length of time. So if comfort is important, look elsewhere. |

| I just received this earbuds today and got right to it. Plug them into my laptop to listen to music and they were amazing. My biggest thing with in-the-ear headphones is that I want to find the right volume. My last set that I had, even with all the volumes turned up they weren't loud enough. You won't have to worry about that with these earbuds. I'm into rock/metal genre music and the bass is astounding. You read about comments about these being uncomfortable..I think they fit great in the canal. Very snug but not to where you are uncomfortable. Maybe if you have sensitive ears or something ? Dunno but you can't go wrong for the price of these. Even comes with a carrying case..ha. So if you are looking for something for your mp3 player or laptop then get these and enjoy the concert in your ear. A++++ |

I have owned these in-the-ear headphones for over 10 years now, and they are the most reliable and maintenance-free ear-buds I've seen. The fit is more comfortable and snug than those white, flat-shaped apple ipod earbuds. It would be nice if the cord was a bit longer though. Great investment and I use these regularly when my Sony DRBT50s run out of batteries or I want to let my ears breathe and don't feel like wearing over-the-head headphones.
So if you're looking for reliable, maintenance-free, compact ear-buds, these are the way to go! |

I bought about a year or 2 ago because of the reviews I read in Consumer Reports about them. Sure, you could spend a lot more and get even better, but I wasn't about to go nuts.
I like them. They fit fairly nicely in the ear. They seem to keep the sound when I am in the gym, versus the old style over the ears that pick up sounds.
Definitely worth the price. |

| I needed headphones for running since the ones that came with my i pod touch are really bad and kept falling out. These fit perfectly in my ear, never fall out and don't cause sweat. I have never been happier with a product because they actually work! |

| Headphones are great. Audio is OK, I am not a sound engineer to tell how good the sound is, but they fit my ears perfectly. I am not sure how I was able to live before with the regular, round, non-ergonomic headphones that made me jam the a silicone tubes up into my brain to make the sound audible, or to make them stay in place. Buy them! |

I'm not a big fan of headphones and even less of earbuds. But I recently spent some time in the hospital with an iPod and no headphones (I'd forgotten both my Sennheiser PX-100s and the Apple buds that came with the player). Out of necessity, I ended up paying almost as much in the gift shop for a pair of J-Wins as the price these Sony phones are currently bringing on Amazon. If the J-Wins were worth the price, these Sony earbuds should cost a small fortune. (In fact, the most popular consumers' magazine currently rates the Sony buds ahead of a pair costing 12 times as much.)
Based on limited experience, I can't proclaim them the "best," but here's what I like about them: 1. They're high efficiency (extremely sensitive and "loud") which, in the absence of noise-canceling headphones, makes them quite effective even in noisy environments; 2. They're slightly more secure-fitting than either the Apple or J-Win ear buds because they fit partly in the ear canal rather than balancing precariously on the ear (though some adjustment is required from time to time); 3. The sound is live, brilliant, and very "present" with exquisite balance--I can hear each pitch of the double bass, each brush stroke of the snare, and each ring of the ride cymbal yet at no time is the primary voice of the soloist--whether a vocalist, instrumentalist, or the piano--in the background.
My primary reference is piano--and these little gems can capture every overtone, every pedaled note of a Steinway or Bosendorfer, along with distinguishing the touches of a Bill Evans, George Shearing, and Oscar Peterson. They're not for everyone. As I said, they're sensitive and require constant monitoring from track to track to keep the volume from suddenly blasting you away. Also, I know listeners who simply require earbuds that include a behind-the-ear clip for a snugger fit (I've seen these sold as separate attachments).
They come with a cord long enough to make it possible to listen to them with the player in a front pants pocket. Also, there's a nice little drawstring "simulated" leather case that fits in a shirt pocket with no problem at all. (I have a hunch I'll be using the PX-100s less often.) |

No other headphones fit and perform like the Sony mdr-ed21LP... Over the years I have probably purchased at least 7 pair for myself and others...
After several years of use I had one pair where the Right channel sound would not come thru,,, mini plug became sensitive to touch...
Would recommend these to everyone... |
