Digital camera reviews of Sony MDRQ22LP Ear Clip
Digital camera Review: A satisfied user
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're into to music with heavy bass content and delight in driving vehicles with massive subwoofers, these are not the headphones for you. Then again the devices you normally use these in don't output alot of bass to begin with. So go get the can-style headphones.
For everyone else; hey, these are great. They do the job we need perfectly. Want to disguise the fact your using an iPod or need to hear the outside environment while listening to your tunes/fifth race at Haymarket, get these.
I got mine when my Nth set of Q33s bit the dust and have only noticed a slight drop in distant radio reception on my discman.
Digital camera Review: Addicted to these headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
The perfect headphones! (Almost.) I've bought these exact brand of headphones 4 times, and I'm about to buy them a 5th. Why? Well, I'm extremely picky about headphones. I often wear baseball caps, so the plastic band over my head with old-style headphones is inconvenient. I grew up wearing those and am basically sick of that design. They also get in the way of my glasses. My ears must be some mutant shape totally incompatible with all earbuds. I refuse to wear them. The sound quality is so poor with earbuds I'm constantly fiddling with them to keep them where I want in my ears. The expensive "noise-canceling" types are no good for people on the go, and in my case they get too sweaty and hot to wear comfortably (I often wear headphones when walking briskly). You can hear the suction when I take those big ol' headphones off. I've even tried a knock-off brand of these with a similar clip, but the plastic clip on other manufacturer's brands is harder and very irritating to me. These headphones are perfect from a comfort standpoint as they fit on my ears and allow them to breathe. I can easily slip one off if someone is talking to me and I need to hear them. I can clip the headphones to my shirt if I need to take them off for an extended period of time.
The only drawback is durability. The first pair was lying on the floor (my fault) and my girlfriend vacuumed up the cord. Snap! The earphone part broke right off. I was a little annoyed, but then I started to panic when I had trouble finding that particular model in retail stores. Thank goodness for Amazon. We managed to get another pair, and at the same time I bought a pair for her brother's birthday because I like them so much. My 2nd set bit the dust when I was careless with the cord in a supermarket. The earphone part got pulled off while I was shoppping. The cord was dangling from my pocket and got snagged on the automatic door. Pop! The next pair got sucked into my retractable dog leash. I spent 20 minutes trying to untangle it before I finally gave up and walked my dog. There was another one in there, but I can't remember what happened to them. It wasn't pretty. That makes 4 times so far, plus one as a gift.
So, the durability is a factor. They do get tangled a lot. You can't really wrap them up for storage without them getting tangled somehow. However, I'm willing to put up with that because for me, ear comfort comes way way way ahead of the rest of the annoyances that go along with those headphones. I've been doing without since the last pair died, and I even bought another knock-off version of that headphone from another manufacturer, but it just isn't the same. This time, I'm placing an order for multiple sets because it appears Sony is not going to continue stocking it in stores. If you can put up with some minor tangling, I'd highly recommend them in terms of sound quality and comfort. Now that they are getting to be an older model, the price is coming down, too.
I'll admit there are some drawbacks, but I've never been more satisfied in terms of ear comfort than with these headphones. They are great in the gym if you are picky about hearing your music or talk uninterrupted, because the clip keeps them where they are supposed to be. That's of utmost importance to me. Good luck!
Digital camera Review: As Good As I Thought They Would Be...
Summary: 5 Stars
These headphones are exactly what I was expecting they would be when I ordered them...my daughter has the same pair for her iPod and when I mentioned that I needed a better pair than the ones that came with mine, she suggested these to me.
I have used them nonstop since they arrived ~ love the blue earpiece, lol ~ and they are perfect!
I would recommend them to anybody who is looking for a good pair; the interchangeable earpieces are an added perk! just for fun...
Digital camera Review: Awesome headphones!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned two pairs of these earphones. I was so happy to find another pair on Amazon.com, because I could not find these earphones anywhere else. These earphones are the best earphones you could ever buy. Theyfit my ears (big ears) perfectly and the sound quality is outstanding. Now I do not wear these in a causal setting, I wear these headphones whiling sweating on gym equipment. Buy these headphones, you will never be disappointed.Digital camera Review: BEST Headphones I've ever owned!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to tell you that I've been using this set of headphones for well over a year now and they have been through countless rummages in my backpack, 40+ airline trips and plenty of accidental physical abuse on my bed, desk, etc...but guess what? They still feel great on my ears and the sound quality has been excellent with great balance in bass, treble and crispness. Best bang for the buck headphones ever and I'm not a Sony junkie so I'm finding it pretty hard to give a Sony product 5 stars...but I would be hypocrite if I didn't.
