Sony MDRE9LP/BLK Ear Buds,Black

I’ve ordered these headphones twice now. The first pair did not work. The second pair was never delivered, but I have no way to replace them through the Amazon app. I ordered yet another pair because they’re my daughter’s favorites but honestly, if they don’t work, I’ll never buy them again.

This particular ear buds has an amazing sound quality, and its at a low price! It is great for walking, jogging, running, and working out at the gym. I use it very often, almost every day! It has lasted me about a good 2 years, and I would be happy to order another set for that price! The reason why it lasted me about 2 years was because I just had an accident with breaking mines. Take good care of your ear buds, and it will last even longer. It fits my ear holes well and is comfortable wearing them. It has good outside-noise cancellation, so it can be just you and your music when taking those morning or evening jogs around public places (or using in noisy places like the malls, airports, busy streets, etc.). I turn up the volume very loud as well (but not to the fullest volume level), especially when I am vigorously exercising at the gym, and I don't notice its sound quality degrading. There has been no annoying static sound like some other earbuds have when turning up the volume. It has very good bass through these small earbuds. That's probably why I mainly like this product, for its strong bass. I listen to lots of songs with electric guitars, like rock and heavy metal music. I also listen to hip-hop songs that play heavy bass in the backgrounds. These earbuds are also good for techno music with strong beats. They are also good on ASMR videos on Youtube (I personally watch Cherry Crush and Russian ASMR Kitty Klaw). Try these earbuds out on ASMR and they will impress you! When you first use these earbuds, try all of the sound preset equalizer settings on your music devices to see which one is good for you (I personally like the ROCK and the R&B setting on my iPod, it sounds very good for me). One problem I've had with it was listening to music through my android phone, it doesn't sound too very good. However, it maybe just might be the android phone that I have, since some mobile phones aren't meant to play music with good sound quality. That's where my iPod comes in. iPods are built to enhance sound quality with its preset equalizer settings and allow you to enjoy your music experience. I have been using this earbuds since 2007 and I am still a proud customer. I've ordered some more at different colors for my family and friends, and they all love it as well! This product definitely deserves a 5 star rating for its amazing sound performance.

Comfortable, adequate sound quality, inexpensive. I use these for audio books at night - I'm a side sleeper and find these comfortable if I fall asleep on them. I also use them for portable amateur radio operation in parks or similar outdoor spacsx. Sound quality and volume are fine for communications audio - Morse code in particular. These let enough of the sound from my surroundings get in so that I maintain awareness of what's going on around me. A good idea when out and about! Just bought a second set.

Using these for my psp. Sound quality is 20 years old but they’ll do.

LOVE THE EARBUD QUALITY, FUNCTIONALITY, COMPATIBILITY, LOVE THE VALUE FOR THE MONEY. HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL TIMES. THANK YOU!

These are pure junk. I got them, plugged them in and they sounded great. Awesome. Just what I was looking for. However, this joke of a product blew out on me within 48 hours. No more bass, lots of crackling indicating a blown speaker, and a need to jack the volume WAY up to get any sound at all. Bear in mind I use these mainly on a Dell Inspiron laptop and usually keep the volume between 2-6. That is literally just above completely muting them, so it wasn't like I listened too loudly and they were abused. Nope. Just crap' And, to add insult to injury, I tried returning them only to find they're not eligible for returns. So I'm permanently out the eight bucks or whatever I spent on them, and have yet more e-waste lying around. Come on Amazon, these should not have failed in 48 hours and it's not like they can be repaired. Ridiculous. Avoid this product. Sony usually makes good gear, but not in this case. Save up for a REAL set.

This will be a first impression review of 3 Sony earbuds bought at the same time: *** MDRE9LP (the Ipod type that only sits inside the outer part of the ear) **** MDR-EX37B (black body insertion type) ***** MDR-EX25LP (tiny unit that goes entirely into the ear) All arrived in the typical over-engineered packaging that you can see that the designer is the only one that knows how to open without destroying the packaging. I've yet to figure out why. Background: My wife uses earbuds all day, home or work. Connecting to her BLU Selfie phone, her HP Laptop, her Toshiba Chromebook and her various Samsung tablets. She goes through them quickly, but we've had bad results from buying cheap buds, especially the Panasonic RPHJE120 line, which we bought 5 different colors and are all in a drawer because they don't align easily in the ear and have low output volume and very low bass... unacceptable even though they are Amazon's #1 Best Seller. She prefered to tape together some of her other broken earbuds and limp along with those instead. Her favorites to date have been the nice earbuds that came with her BLU phone and some very old ones that came with an Ipod she seldom uses anymore, but both of those are held together with scotch tape and come apart easily. Soooo, I decided to buy one each of some Sony units to see which she liked. We both tested each using the same song at the same volume out of the phone. She likes the EX37B ones the best (first quick use). These were priced at $13.99 and are the standard kind of L configuration. I like that they have a rugged appearance and a very good stress relief so the wires are not so likely to get damaged when she yanks them out or they get snagged on something as she rushes around while using them. To me (refined pitch perfect audiophile ears), they are a little distorted and loud, but have tremendous bass response. Second she liked the tiny EX25LP. THEY WERE MY FAVORITE BY FAR! These were priced $14.99 and are little egg-like things that fall completely in the ear with only the thin wire coming out. My concern with these was that there is no stress relief for the wires at all, but upon trying them, we both remarked how easily they slide exactly into the right place in our ears, no alignment needed and they come out VERY easy... but do not FALL out on their own. They fit perfectly and have a very good sound, but not a huge bass note like the EX37B and our BLU phone buds. Lastly she didn't like the MDRE9LP units that just are like little speakers that do not go into the ear canal, like so many you see and exactly like the Ipod buds she likes so much. These are hard to place properly in the ear and don't have the volume or bass quality of the other two. They are the cheaper of the trio at $8.99 and I don't see these being used unless it's a choice between those and the Panasonics. I will UPDATE this review as problems or wonders happen. Stay tuned.

Occasionally I fear that these will not be manufactured anymore and stock up. I have noticed other reviews that make them sound legendary and I must say that I, too, am a fan girl of these ear buds. They are comfortable for my small eyes and have great sound. They are quite durable also and cost no more than cheap ones.
