These earphones do weird things at 4kHz and above. No amount of EQ-ing seems to fix it. Get some Sennheiser CX300s, 400s, or 500s instead. As someone who has spent the past 10 years working with audio gear, trust me on this one. This is not brand favoritism, as I have other Sony headphones that I like (check out my headphones list). These are just bad.

I like these headphones, they are very good and not expensive as Bose. The problem was that before the three months they began to fail. The good thing is that the Sony warranty dept answered to my warranty requests.
Great bass, cheap, better than EX71LP - Reviewed on 2009-06-28

Awesome BASS come from such a tiny driver!
It's an awesome earphones for the money, I got the new EX51LP for 12 USD!
Make sure you got one in sealed box, others seem to be fake without original box.

It has great bass, better than the more expensive Sony EX71LP.
One important tip: You have to put it INSIDE your ears to benefit the great sound from it. I always pull my ears back and put it deep inside. Make sure to choose the right earbuds that comfortable for you. Cancel all the outside noise too, even it's not a noise canceling earphones.

Highly recommended to those who wants a cheap but great sound!
Do Not Buy This Product! Left earbud stopped working. - Reviewed on 2009-06-08

1 customer found this review not to be helpful.
I perviously had a white pair that one ear bud stopped working after a year and a half so natrually I decided to buy the same earbuds but black this time. After 4 months one day in the gym the left earbud just stopped working. I have read the horrible reviews and the horrible customer service from sony so sadly I will NEVER buy another Sony product again.

I purchased a pair of these from Walgreens well over a year ago and I absolutely love them. Even after my cat got to the cord they still work great!! Due to their age and loss of quality over time I've been trying to find an inexpensive replacement but nothing else compares. I should have known Amazon would have them. Can't wait to receive them.
