Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones, White
Digital camera Review: Good experience, but low durability.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've bought about eight pairs of these, including three that I ordered today. They last about 3-4 months on average. I really like the design, and the sound quality is quite sufficient for my casual on-the-go needs (I mostly listen to spoken podcasts anyway).
I tried a different brand recently--a more expensive model--but that set only lasted 6 months, and wasn't a substantially-better experience in terms of sound quality. also, the other brand wasn't a behind-the-ears design, which is tough to go back to once you're used to this type of design. So overall I would say it wasn't worth what I paid for it. This model, even if it's prone to failure, is a better value overall.
Summary of Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones, White
Sony's first closed-type Fontopia(R) design reduces outside noise for high-intensity listening, helping to generate powerful, resonant bass response. So exercise, dance, or skate with the new Fontopia(R) Headphones. Featuring a Super-light in-the-ear Design for a snug, comfortable fit inside the ear, eliminating the headband, Super-small 9mm Driver Unit, and Soft, Silicon Ear buds, these headphones were created to enhance your on-the-go listening. Two sizes of ear buds are also included which are washable, removable and replaceable. So move to your music with the Fontopia(R) Headphones. Magnet - 400kJ/mA high-power Neodymium Plug - Gold-plated, L-Shaped, Stereo Mini Plug for exceptional corrosion resistance, superb conductivity, low noise Impedance - 16 ohms at 1,000 Hz Sensitivity - 100dB/mW Power Handling Capacity - 100mW Color - White Supplied Accessories - Compact case, Second set ear pads Streamlined, Compact Case neatly stores the ear-buds and headphone cord when not in use; vivid purple styling; high-impact case is ideal for carrying in a pocket or backpack New Case Design minimizes cord tangle; partial winding can shorten the effective cord length during useMost noise-reducing headphones feature large over-the-head or behind-the-neck headbands, making them a bit bulky to use while traveling or working out. Not so the Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia headphones, whose ultra-light in-the-ear design sounds great while minimizing distracting ambient noise. The closed-type construction makes the headphones a perfect fit for airline, train, or bus travel, or while dancing or skating to your own tune. The phones owe their audio performance to the extra-small 9 mm drivers and neodymium magnets fitted inside each earpiece. The drivers and magnets combine to generate high-intensity sound, with a deeper-than-expected bass response (as low as 6 Hz) and refreshingly crisp mid- and high-range tones. Listeners will also welcome the two sizes of ear buds that come with the headphones, ensuring that users find the right match for their individual ear shapes. The soft silicone buds are also responsible for much of the noise reduction. Additional features include an oxygen-free copper cord that reduces noise and improves signal transfer, a gold-plated mini-plug that resists corrosion, a stylish neck chain cord, and a streamlined carrying case that easily slips into a shirt pocket.
