Sony MDRE9LP/BLK Ear Buds,Black

These are my go to basic earbuds that I will continue to buy. They last quite a while, usually a year or two. But one of the earbuds eventually stops working. I prefer the way these fit in my ear and the sound quality great. For the price and quality I think these can’t be beat.

This particular ear buds has an amazing sound quality, and its at a low price! It is great for walking, jogging, running, and working out at the gym. I use it very often, almost every day! It has lasted me about a good 2 years, and I would be happy to order another set for that price! The reason why it lasted me about 2 years was because I just had an accident with breaking mines. Take good care of your ear buds, and it will last even longer. It fits my ear holes well and is comfortable wearing them. It has good outside-noise cancellation, so it can be just you and your music when taking those morning or evening jogs around public places (or using in noisy places like the malls, airports, busy streets, etc.). I turn up the volume very loud as well (but not to the fullest volume level), especially when I am vigorously exercising at the gym, and I don't notice its sound quality degrading. There has been no annoying static sound like some other earbuds have when turning up the volume. It has very good bass through these small earbuds. That's probably why I mainly like this product, for its strong bass. I listen to lots of songs with electric guitars, like rock and heavy metal music. I also listen to hip-hop songs that play heavy bass in the backgrounds. These earbuds are also good for techno music with strong beats. They are also good on ASMR videos on Youtube (I personally watch Cherry Crush and Russian ASMR Kitty Klaw). Try these earbuds out on ASMR and they will impress you! When you first use these earbuds, try all of the sound preset equalizer settings on your music devices to see which one is good for you (I personally like the ROCK and the R&B setting on my iPod, it sounds very good for me). One problem I've had with it was listening to music through my android phone, it doesn't sound too very good. However, it maybe just might be the android phone that I have, since some mobile phones aren't meant to play music with good sound quality. That's where my iPod comes in. iPods are built to enhance sound quality with its preset equalizer settings and allow you to enjoy your music experience. I have been using this earbuds since 2007 and I am still a proud customer. I've ordered some more at different colors for my family and friends, and they all love it as well! This product definitely deserves a 5 star rating for its amazing sound performance.

Comfortable, adequate sound quality, inexpensive. I use these for audio books at night - I'm a side sleeper and find these comfortable if I fall asleep on them. I also use them for portable amateur radio operation in parks or similar outdoor spacsx. Sound quality and volume are fine for communications audio - Morse code in particular. These let enough of the sound from my surroundings get in so that I maintain awareness of what's going on around me. A good idea when out and about! Just bought a second set.

I’ve had these about 7 months and they’ve had multiple unfortunate trips through the washer and dryer, but have still held up great! I bought them intentionally looking for no noise cancelling earbuds for work, and these play very clearly while still allowing me to hear the world around me. Very useful for exercising outdoors as well! I use with an apple connector for my phone.Surprisingly better than I expected sound wise; the bass gets pretty crunchy if it’s too loud but most of my music sounds alright, especially considering these are dirt cheap. Good pair of beater earbuds. Added bonus is the early 2000’s bright blue plastic looks great in the ears!

I'm writing this review for my second pair. I wrap up the cable and put these in my pocket every single day and they still work perfectly; I bought this pair in mid-2021 and it's now mid-2023. I think this is outsize performance for a sub-$10 pair of headphones. These are my always-available, go-anywhere earbuds. My last pair eventually had a cable break and one side stopped working, but it also lasted years before that happened.These do not block any noise, but they're comfortable to wear for extended periods. If you're trying to listen to a movie or an audiobook on an airplane or bus, forget about it. If you're trying to block out noisy coworkers, forget about it. If you're wanting to blast music, forget about it: everyone around you will hear it, too. If you want to listen to music or podcasts at work or in another quiet setting, however, these headphones are a great choice. They're comfortable and you can still hear your surroundings in case someone tries to get your attention.

These are pure junk. I got them, plugged them in and they sounded great. Awesome. Just what I was looking for. However, this joke of a product blew out on me within 48 hours. No more bass, lots of crackling indicating a blown speaker, and a need to jack the volume WAY up to get any sound at all. Bear in mind I use these mainly on a Dell Inspiron laptop and usually keep the volume between 2-6. That is literally just above completely muting them, so it wasn't like I listened too loudly and they were abused. Nope. Just crap'And, to add insult to injury, I tried returning them only to find they're not eligible for returns. So I'm permanently out the eight bucks or whatever I spent on them, and have yet more e-waste lying around. Come on Amazon, these should not have failed in 48 hours and it's not like they can be repaired.Ridiculous. Avoid this product. Sony usually makes good gear, but not in this case. Save up for a REAL set.
