Digital camera Review: Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones, White
Summary: 5 Stars
These earphones are great for listening to my audiobooks. They are soft and comfortable in my ears for long periods of time.Digital camera Review: good sound quality, but not so comfortable
Summary: 3 Stars
As a disclaimer, I have never tried other in-ear headphones. My old earbuds were the type that sat just outside the ear canal, like these: Apple In-Ear Headphones (White). I found those to hurt my ears and the pads always fell off.
So I decided to give these in-ear headphones a shot. The sound quality is great. That is undebatable. However, I find that they are rather uncomfortable. Also, I don't like how I can't hear what is going on around me. I often walk on a road without a sidewalk and I can't hear cars come up behind me. I guess some people would like the sound-canceling effect these have, but it makes me feel uncomfortable in my surroundings. Another thing I don't like--my old headphones had a slider to position where you wanted the left-right phones to split off. These have a set spot on the cord, and one side is far longer than the other, it's quite uneven. I find that annoying at times, and also I don't like how it looks.
All that being said, these are not costly, and the sound quality is good. If you like the noise-canceling effect, then you'll probably love these!
Digital camera Review: Great for a year
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned these headphones for a little over a year now, and they have just finally decided to break. They fit great in my ears, especially while running - the headphones that came with my iPod fall out while I run, but these don't at all. The sound quality was great, until they broke. The left earbud is no longer producing a steady sound - if I move my head in the slightest bit, the sound will cut out. Still, these were great while they lasted, and I'll probably buy another pair as a replacement.Digital camera Review: Sony Fontopia in the ear headphones

Sound is great, but earphones sometimes fall out; not as good as other Sony earphones I have used. Would not necessarily buy them again.Digital camera Review: Industry Standard
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought several pair of these Sony Fontopias over the years (with everyday use, I eventually lose them). Great bass sound and good response through the entire sonic range. For my money, there is nothing that comes close in the <$50 price range. Above that price, I have no idea since I don't like to spend much on earbuds. I have never had 'mechanical' problems with any of the pairs I've owned.
