SonyMDRE9LP/BLK Ear Buds,Black

Been looking for something loud for my deafness, finally! Sony delivered.

The ear buds which came with my music player were getting tired. The wires were going so had to wiggle them sometimes to get music in both ears. I didn't to pay a lot for them and did not want wireless earbuds as i use them outside and walking. The wires don't bother me - really don't know they are there when using them. They fit well in my ears and are comfortable. The price was good and i believe are a goo value. I don't use the microphone function as i am using on a music player and to on my phone. I like these and would buy them again.

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.

Really great sound.

Most Sony products I've owned in the past have been high quality and these earbuds are no exception. Clear, detailed sound throughout the range from bass to treble, with wide stereo separation. A lot of power too, volume-wise. You can really hear the music the way it was meant to be heard with these earbuds. Close your eyes and you're at the concert.

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.

They are too small

I have bought 4 of these pretty basic Sony ear buds over the last decade or so (and one of the white variety, just to spice things up a little). For the price, they are fair/good quality and provide clear audio whether plugged into my laptop or my phone. I have seen other reviews saying they came broken or loose, that they didn't last very long, and general concerns about their poor quality. But I bought two of these recently to replace another that was worn down and not working properly (which I used for over 5 years with no issues) and checked both out thoroughly after removing them from their packaging. They were sturdy and worked perfectly. With these ear buds, you get what you pay for - a basic set of ear buds comparable to Amazon Basics ones that will last if you don't step on them or yank them around. And if they don't last long, they're quite inexpensive on sale and so it's not going to set you back too much.
