Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones
Digital camera Review: Bad coloration
Summary: 2 Stars
These earphones do weird things at 4kHz and above. No amount of EQ-ing seems to fix it. Get some Sennheiser CX300s, 400s, or 500s instead. As someone who has spent the past 10 years working with audio gear, trust me on this one. This is not brand favoritism, as I have other Sony headphones that I like (check out my headphones list). These are just bad.Digital camera Review: Bad design
Summary: 3 Stars
The earbuds are small and look nice. Sound is good. More confterable than the sony ex71.
But the design! what does sony think? we are all giants? And this goes for most of sony's earbuds! im average guy.. 5'8" 150 lbs. The wrap around the neck design isn't that bad ...unless the right cord is waaaaayyy too long around 20 inches i think. I look rediculus with 4+ inches of wire dangling around my neck and to the side of my ear. Also when i put my mp3 player into my pants pocket when i have the earbuds on, there is wire dangling out and i have to make a concious effort to push the rest of the wire back into my pocket. Its not as long (bad) as the ex71s but it is still very annoying.
Digital camera Review: Bad product, bad service.
Summary: 1 Stars
After seven months of mild usage (during which time the sound quality was pretty decent), the rubber insulation started stripping away and the headphones stopped working entirely. Contacted Sony customer service, and the only option they offered was to replace the headphones with a refurbished pair for $25. (A new pair is cheaper than that on Amazon.)
Boo, hiss. I'll know not to buy Sony next time.
Digital camera Review: Bah, stupid cords...
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought two of these, one for my brother, the other for myself. I bought these based on the initial reviews a few months ago. The sound quality is excellent for the price, but like others have recently mentioned, the cord is pure crap. If I tried, I am positive I can cut the cord in half with my finger nails. This is unacceptable.
What good are the earbuds without the cord?
Digital camera Review: Bass, What Bass?
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these headphones to use with my MD player. I was hoping they would work well on a plane given the way they go inside the ear. Well, they do block out the outside world well but the bass is nonexistent. I returned them the day I received them.
