They don't stay in your ears and they sound tinny. You'd think the designers of the Ipods would design some decent earphones to go with their magnificently designed DAP. I threw away the Ipod earphones and bought these Sony MDR-EX55's, but in black. I was blown away with the sound quality of these. from Bestbuy.com These are my third sony headphones and so far the worst ones!!! my great concern is the sound quality, and they produce horrible sound. from Circuitcity.com I have been purchasing cheap earphones for years which only last about 2-3 months. I then sat down one day and calulated what I have spent on earphones over the last 2 years and I was NOT happy with the total. I then decided to buy Bose and my brother explained Bose are over priced and you can get the same quality of sound out of the Sony MdrEX earphones which were way cheaper and so I purchased the Sony earphones. They are GREAT!!!!! from Amazon.com My other half likes to buy cheap earphones which only last about 2 months. I then asked my brother for some earphone advice and he said to me "do not purchase Bose, they are way too overpriced," and so he recommended the Sony MdrEX earphones which my other half really enjoys. He stated he can now concentrate at the gym and not worry about the surrounding chatters! from Amazon.com I grew up listening to music with headphones; I will admit they were mostly cheap, although I have previously owned nice in-ear headphones. The problem has always been the only way to get good bass was to hold them tight to my ear, let go and the bass was gone. These EX55's seal properly in my ear and the bass response is amazing. I have tweeked the EQ on my laptop, but haven't had to touch the EQ on my Chocolate, Blackberry, PSP, or my wife's ipod. from Amazon.com I just bought these very headphones for $44 at Radioshack. You'd think for $44 and with the brand name Sony, these would be good quality. Well think again. from Amazon.com Someone else mentioned the highs sound harsh but I don't find that to be the case with proper EQ. I used these for about 3-4 days and noticed that they started sounding better, so give them some time for break-in. Stereo separation is very wide and there is this kind of downward expansion sound to them, though this may be my use of Smart Volume on the Zen. I like gain riding for a more even sound, and these phones seem to take advantage of it. from Amazon.com Just purchased these Sony's for use with my Creative Zen Nano Plus (they're my 1st earbuds). I have a pair of Sony MDR CD380's that I like very much, however those aren't practical for reasons of portability. from Amazon.com volume too low and pretty uncomfortable the bud style headphones from sony are alot better that these they do not block out any noise just a waste of money from Amazon.com These look like a great replacement for my beat up MDR-EX51LP's. My only question is this: from Amazon.com
