Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones, White
Digital camera Review: Better Than The Sony MDR-EX71SL Headphones!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I gotta say it, this headphones are really nice. I really like the noise-reducing feature that SONY made for this headphones. Also the soft silicone buds that are included feel really nice in your ears. I previously owned the Sony MDR-EX71SL Headphones which were extreme good, but i wasn't satisfied. I had a few problems with the Sony MDR-EX71SL Headphones.
Two things i didn't like about the SONY MDR-EX71SL:
1.I didn't like the length of the cable. The headphones by itself is too short and when u attach the additional cable it makes it too long.
2.The Left and Right bottom rubber part of the earpiece were really sensitive(when i had this headphones the bottom rubber part of the left side started ripping apart so i had to put a lil piece of clear tape on it.)
So far i'm not having those problems with the Sony MDR-EX51LP. The length of the cable it's perfect and the Left & Right side of the earpiece are protected with a hard plastic material. In clonclusion, SONY made a very good job on this headphones. I recommend the Sony MDR-EX51LP Headphones over the Sony MDR-EX71SL Headphones.
Digital camera Review: Better than Apple
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased these for my iPod after trying both Apple brand earbud-phones. VERY impressed with these. Not only do they have fabulous sound quality, they are super comfortable, fit and stay in my ears...which is a complete miracle in itself (for me anyway). Super sleek design - definitely not as bulky as some earbud headphones I've had (such as Philips in-ear headphones). On a side note, I paid $40 for these at Target though...wish I had seen them here, I could've saved $15. Oh well, they were worth it!Digital camera Review: Black is Better than White
Summary: 3 Stars
I own two pairs of these headphones. One black, and one white. The black rubber has proven to be much more durable. I have had the black pair for about 3 years and have used them daily. They have held up very well. The white pair is less than a year old and the rubber is fraying. The sound is excellent by any standard.Digital camera Review: Bravo, Sony !!
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely the best ear buds I have used. Over the five years I have had my iPod, I had 20 different pair of buds. I bought the very expensive Koss as well. These Sonys are by far, by far the best ones yet. They are extremely comfortable, and the fit is perfect. Not to mention the unbelievable sound. Bass is rich and deep, and the treble isn't tinny, but gives the music a terrific presence. I listen to everything from doo-wop to popular to classic rock, and all comes through with clarity and dimension. Bravo, Sony!!Digital camera Review: Brilliant

When the Apple earbuds that came with my iPod Touch shorted out I went looking for some new ones and settled on a pair of Sennheiser CX 400 In-Ear Headphones and because they were so inexpensive, I guess I fooled myself and didn't notice they weren't as good. For months I thought I was getting good sound when I went running in the morning or when I wanted to blank out the world.
Then I bought a pair of Skull Candy INK'D Earbuds at a garage sale for a quarter. They were missing one of the earbud covers, but a friend had extras so I was in business and was I ever amazed at how much better these were than the Sennheiser guys.
So the budget earbuds were better than the very expensive ones. Now I knew I was missing something, no more fooling myself. I took a trip to my local stereo store and did some listening and at lot less money than the Sennhiesers I found the Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones. These were plenty, plenty good, great even and I was in earbud heaven, great sound.
Then a year later, about a month ago, I got a chance to review the Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220 Noise Isolating Earphones, made by Logitech and was I ever blown out of the water. They are better than I ever could have imagined. Better than what I'd thought was the best of the best.
So below I've written a bit about each of these earbuds. I know I'm only an amateur listener, I've proved that by been fooled by the high price of the Sennheiser earbuds. But I think my opinion might help someone make a purchase. I tested all of these earbuds with Bob Dylan's song "Tangled Up in Blue" from his excellent Blood on the Tracks album.
Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220 Noise Isolating Earphones, by Logitech, ASTONISHING, simply astonishing. The guitar work is front and center, seems to be floating right below Dylan's voice, which is crisp as early morning frost. The bass bounces through your ears with a booming clarity like I've never heard in a headset. Logitech have done an amazing job with these, just amazing.
Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones. BRILLIANT. Bright treble, booming base, midrange wonderful. Snares are sharp, guitar work comes right on through. At half the price of the Ultimate Ears above these are a good buy, as they are almost as good. Sony have done a brill job with these.
Skull Candy INK'D Earbuds. PRETTY GOOD and They're Pink. Plenty of treble with these guys, the bass on the low end seems just fine, but midrange seems a bit weak when played loud. Played with normal (not loud volume) these are wonderful headphone, but when played loud you can tell these are budget earbuds, still they are a good deal for the money and way, way better then the expensive Sennheiser guys below and they come in at a fraction of the price.
Sennheiser CX 400 In-Ear Headphones. LOUSY. Muddy Base, where's the treble, it's muddy too. These were the most expensive of the four. That excellent guitar work on this song is almost absent, it's eerie. Again, muddy bass, fuzzy too. Extremely disappointed with these and they cost so much money. Sennheiser is a good brand, but they for sure missed the boat with these. They don't even come close to the inexpensive Skull Candy guys.
There you have it, my little review of four different earbuds. I know there are a lot of others out there, but hopefully I've helped someone in making a choice as some of these cost a lot of money.
