Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones

Digital camera Review: BEST AND MOST COMFORTABLE HEADPHONE EVER!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

holy crap!! i've bought dozens of headphones throughout my life and i gotta tell you guys.. this headphone is the most comfortablest headphone i ever purchased. old headphones would hurt my ear after 5 minutes and i searched all over the web for the most comfortable headphone with excellent bass. the search is over. i highly recommend the Sony MDR-EX51LP. you gotta try them to believe them.

Digital camera Review: BEST SPORT HEADPHONES
Summary: 4 Stars

I have been searching for the best portable sport headphones since 1984. I found them in 2006. These things do not slip or fall out and provide the best bass reproduction I have ever heard in an ear-bud. I do not need to use any contrivance to make these things stay put in my ears and I am an avid jogger/off-road cyclist who puts them to the test at least 4 days per week. I have sweat all over them and exposed them to driving rain and snow and the sound quality remains, although I've found that after such regular use and wear they will develop a short-circuit after about a year. Unless you are as rough on them as I am you should have nada to fear! Even if you are that rough on them, you should just suck that up as a cost of doing business and get a pair. I have no complaints.

Digital camera Review: Bad Headphones, Bad Customer Service
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought it as a gift for my sister. Two days after using them, the right headphone completely disattached itself. I called Sony,and after waiting 40 minutes for customer service I was told that I was to ship them to Texas at my OWN COST and that they would determine whether I deserve to get a new pair, and if I do, I would get a refurbished pair because mine had been "used." So they tell me that they have a special deal with UPS, so I go there, and I was told it would cost me $13+ to ship it so they can TEST whether I deserve a refurbished pair. I will never buy another Sony product after this experience.

Digital camera Review: Bad Quality , Read This
Summary: 1 Stars

First of all, bass is NOT COMPLETELY the problem, those who can't hear bass simply didn't plug the whole rubber in your ear, or your ear canal is way too big for the current rubber setting, change it for a bigger one, if after changing for the biggest ear plug provided, you still can't hear bass, simply means unfortnately your ear canal is way too big to hear any bass. The trick is that, if the rubber can't stuff your ear good, you can hear treble only. So the design that excludes the possibility of unusual large ear canal is defect.

Now let's talk about the major problem, most of you have been elated about the 6-23,000Hz frequency response capacity, while human ear can only hear 15-20,000Hz range of sound, the extra 3000Hz above 20,000hz creates a problem, that is to over-emphasize the accuracy of the treble part of the sound. How so? The gain of sound quality is never a flat distribution (uniformly distributed) from bass to treble, it has lower gain from the extreme low and alt parts, and larger gain from the middle part of the frequency, so wider frequency response capacity allow the earphone to have stronger performance at the extreme low and alt parts for human ears, such as 15hz and 20,000Hz, but it can also lead to severe distortion of sound quality when your Mp3 doesn't have much content at 20,000hz, and crappy japanese sony 51LXP with more sensitivity at 20,000hz simply over-emphasize these "minor content" and amplify them, now if your using ipod shuffle without EQ, your finished, you hear sharp, noisy and croaky treble part while bass is still super duper, I know this could be some unusual hearing experience, but it does happen and is very very annoying, makes you feel like getting a defect product.

My comment? It is not reasonable for sony to stretch the treble part up to 23,000Hz, 21,000Hz probably would have less problem. And solution? Yes, go get a Koss similar product, with 15-20,000Hz, but just fine to satisfy your need.

Digital camera Review: Bad ass ear phones
Summary: 5 Stars

These are the best! They stay in your ears and are comfortable. I use them mostly for working out and they do not fall out. There are three differnt size ear pieces that come with it. But best of all the sound quality is awsome!
