Sony Deep Bass Wired Earphones with Smartphone Control and Mic - Metallic Black

These are superb earbuds at a fantastic price point. I bought these to use with gaming devices such as the Switch 1 and 2, and also a Steam Deck — I have experienced zero issues. The earbuds themselves are very small which makes them comfortable to wear for long periods of time and there are multiple sizes of silicone tips available for a secure fit. The cable can be wrapped around an included plastic tool which helps keep the earbuds from becoming tangled up; I had never seen this with wired earbuds before! Sound quality is superior to other wired earbuds in this price range. The noise isolation of these earbuds are great when you have the proper size of silicone tips — this would be ideal for plane, train, and car rides. Sound is very clear and lacks any distortion which is always a plus. There’s an in-line mic on the cable which I have not tried yet, however I will update my review once I do. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase and these will be my go-to wired earbuds for the foreseeable future! Read more

These are my favorite pair of earbuds hands down. I loose earbuds semi-frequently, so I’ve had at least 5+ of these over the past 4 ish years. I don’t think I’ve ever had a pair break on me, with the exception of the protective rubber connecting the earbud head to the cord on my last pair, which I had for close to a year. Never affected the sound, I just taped it and it was fine. I should mention that pair also went through the laundry multiple times and remained totally fine after drying out. They’re very comfortable to wear, and I can wear them while lying on my side without any discomfort. What made me suddenly remember to finally write a review is the sound quality, which imo is very good for the money. I recently decided to try true wireless earbuds again (i don’t trust myself with them RE: me loosing 5 pairs of these earbuds that aren’t in 3 separate pieces I could loose any one of) and picked up the beats fit pro for 160$. I know with true wireless earbuds you’re mainly paying for the convenience of Bluetooth + other misc quality of life features, and comparing wired to Bluetooth earbuds isn’t really a fair fight, but these earbuds outperform the beats fit pro in terms of sound quality to a degree that is embarrassing for a 160$ pair of earbuds. The mic isn’t the greatest, and I usually unplug the earbuds to make calls, but microphone quality isn’t really a feature I care about at all in a 20-30$ pair of earbuds beyond just “it’s there,” so I’m not taking off a star for that. Overall a solid pair of earbuds with good fit, sound quality, and durability. As an added bonus, sometime over the period I’ve been getting them the packing has been redesigned to be almost entirely recyclable, which I appreciate. Read more

I just got these. The sound quality on these is amazing. I've been using a pair of Philips earbuds that sound really good, but these add a whole depth of sound with deep, punchy bass and you can hear each instrument crystal clear. This makes it feel like you're completely immersed in the music. They're also comfortable. The mic is disappointing, though. I can't get my computer to recognize it. I tried it on my PS5 and it works, but it's not very clear. It's good enough to have a conversation and the volume is fine, but it's lacking in detail. It has a cheap headset sound. So I'm going to hunt for a pair of earbuds with better mic quality. My Samsung AKG wired USB C earbuds have a much better mic. Read more

Very good quality and design. The headphones function as well as can be expected. Great noise cancellation and the best sound quality in all the wired headphones i've purchased. They fit nicely inside the ear and is a great value for the money. Good money spent. I really like them and highly recommend to music lovers. Read more

The sound of these 9mm drivers are amazing I replaced the ear pads with the Large ones put them in my ears and Wow the clarity and the Thundering Bass match good! The flimsy cords don't do justice to these powerful earphones! Read more

I've used Sony's MDRXB series of wired earbuds for several years now. The bass has been consistently deep without being muddy. If by noise cancellation you mean "loud enough to drown out the subway," yeah, they've been good at that, and held up daily for 2-3 years per set. At the time of purchase the ones that I would normally get (for around $50) weren't available, so I took a chance on these. The sound and call quality is decent for the price range but the build quality just isn't the same. These are the thinnest wires I've ever seen on headphones/earbuds in this price range and I don't expect them to hold up more than 3-6 months. The earbuds themselves are tiny. Wired Apple earbuds look chunky in comparison. They certainly are light and the only discomfort I have from wearing them is wondering if they're going to fall deeper into and not out of my ears. If other earbuds at this price point have seemed bulky to you, you may want to consider these or go with the Skullcandy Ink'd series? Read more

Best corded earbuds I have ever owned! I have had two pairs of these earbuds, the first ones I found on the bottom of a lake. It looked like they had been there for a little bit, but I for some reason I did not throw them away right away and after forgetting about them in my bag for a few days I decided to see if they worked. To my surprise they worked and sounded great!! I continued to use them for FIVE MORE YEARS. These earbuds made it through 4 years of Engineering school in which I used them EVERY SINGLE DAY. When the speaker in one of the buds did start to die the rubber and plastic parts were still in great condition. I have high hopes that my new ones will last even longer, as long as I keep them out of the lake. Read more

The earbuds come with different tips, which is very nice, because the large version of the tips fit my ears well. For the value of money, the bass is actually decent. The mids are nice, and words in songs are clear (that has to do more with the song mixing, but the earbuds portray the mix well). Bose delivers yet again :). Read more
