Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones
Digital camera Review: AMAZING sound for the money!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these to go with my Creative MuVo TX mp3 player, and I have been SO pleased! I have small, somewhat sensitive ears and cannot wear anything with foam pads, as I'll get hives. These have been SO comfortable, they fit in the ear very snugly, and the sound quality is pretty darn good. Sure, they're not "noise cancellation" earphones where they block all outside noise, but they do a darn good job of blocking out almost all of it. If you just need some inexpensive but comfortable earbuds with great sound quality and decent noise cancellation for working out, hiking, sitting on a plane, car trips (even with noisy siblings!), etc, these are the ones for you!!Digital camera Review: After 4 pairs.....
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had 4 pairs of these headphones. As far as sound goes, they're great. As far as the issue of the cord turning to mush, only the last pair had that problem. I could tell as soon as I opened them that they were going to have that problem. Sure enough, within a few weeks the covering had pretty much disintegrated. All the other pairs lasted well, but I would lose the rubber ear insert, mostly due to my carelessness. Bottom line is, they're great headphones. Buy them.Digital camera Review: All around great
Summary: 5 Stars
These head phones are the perfect length for most people and feel really great. They don't fall out when you run or jump around and they are around the neck style so you can just let them hang there without having to take them off. The connector is also really nice because it does not stick up and get in the way like most of the other ones. The case is not really useful however and I never use it, instead just have it dangle on my neck when I'm not using it. I hope they just don't break after three months like my last pair of Sony headphones.Digital camera Review: Almost perfect...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these because standard ear buds either fall out of my ear or are very uncomfortable when worn for more than 10 minutes. I have neither problem with these. They're very comfortable with either the small or medium plugs. My biggest gripe is the cord length. The left side is super short and the right side is super long. Why not just a normal "Y" shape? Since the cord hangs from the left side and not in the middle, I find that the left bud gets yanked out on a regular basis. My only other problem (a tiny one, really) is the case. You can't protect the buds and the cord at the same time. I have a pair of Sony E828 cheapies and they have an awesome case that winds the cord up and the buds rest in the middle, so the whole thing is protected. Those two problems aren't big deals to me, though. I just hope that by the time mine wear out, Sony will have re-vamped them.Digital camera Review: Almost there but still needs work
Summary: 4 Stars
After suffering through many substandard headphones I took the plunge and spent the money on these headphones. They are an above average pair of headphones with some unique characertistics.
SOUND QUALITY: Excellent range of sound. They seem to play all the ranges of music. One good thing is that the bass does not dominate like in many headphones yet in these the bass is not missing.
OVERALL DESIGN: Weird configurion on the headphones. THe left side cord is very short whereas the right cord has a lengthy cord from the headphone cord to your ear. This leaves another cord hanging which can get caught if you're working out or doing yard work. Also, the cord to these headphones is longer so there's usually excess cord to get caught as well.
OTHER SOUND POINTS: These do a great job of blocking outside noises to allow you to enjoy your music. If your MP3/radio is off then you do get a stethoscope effect because when seated in your ear they block out outside noise.
WEAR COMFORT: These fit decently in the ears. However, with moderate movement they work out of your ear. They are not the best headphones for working out or doing household projects.
These are perfect if you're a music head who's just going to sit and listen to music. Also, they would be great for commuters on the bus or train. However, exercising or doing yard work is not the ideal place to use these.
These are worth the hassle to some degree but I would definitely recommend trying to buy these on sale or recommend you buy these for sedentary music listening.
