Very good, but short cord

By Ranger Stan from Wichita, KS on 06/19/2009.

Describe Yourself:

Professional Musician

These headphones produce excellent sound and stay in place pretty well. Kind of slippery when you sweat. I'd be completely satisfied except the cord is about 6 inches shorter than cords on my other similar headphones.

Small size....big sound

By abnranger76 from Syracuse, NY on 05/18/2009.

Pros:	Easy To Use, Improves Sound Quality, Fantastic sound
Describe Yourself:	Experienced

Good Headphones

By David the Runner from Portsmouth, NH on 10/10/2008.

Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Rich Sound, Comfortable
Best Uses:	Running, Portable Devices, Music

The Sony MDRED21LP headphones provide very good audio with a slightly laid-back sound. Unlike most earbuds, they have plenty of bass. They provide limited isolation from outside noise. This is important for runners. Also, they stay in the ears fairly well. Although not important to me, the cable seems a bit longer than most.

Exceptional Value For the Sound Quality

By Dr.Q from Michigan on 05/9/2008.

Describe Yourself:	Gear Head
Best Uses:	Music
Pros:	Rich Sound, Lightweight
Cons:	Uncomfortable

Very good sound for the price (I paid [$] and have since seen them online for less) but awkward insert design can be uncomfortable. Sound quality is nearly as good as my Sennheiser MX 90 buds which were considerably more expensive.

Great product, I have bought many headphones and this is the first one that actually stays in my ears and sound great. All the others fall out easily. After wearing them for a while it tends to bother a little.

Describe Yourself:	Audiophile
Primary use:	Personal
Best Uses:	Portable Devices, Travel
Pros:	Rich Sound, Comfortable, Lightweight, pouch is a nice extra

Great price and very good quality. I did my research on a well known consumer guide and these were as highly rated as a pair several times the price. [...] Everyone should have a pair of these since if you lose them you'll be out less than [$], depending on where you bought them. I recommend [...] for price.

This product is used with my iPod while I walk or travel. They stay securely in my ears, block out the unwanted external noise and are so comfortable that I forget they are in position. Excellent product.

good quality for the price.

By shotglass from chicago,il on 10/11/2007.

the bass sounds pretty descent for earbuds. where can you get a descent set of head phones for under [$]? I use them for construction work ,so if I break them I'll just buy another set.

Describe Yourself:	Gear Head, Frequent Traveler
Pros:	Highly Compatible, Lightweight, Comfortable, Rich Sound, Durable
Primary use:	Personal

The sound of the Sony Fontopia Stereo Headphones kick butt, and if your a student on a budget, look no feather you will not be disappointed, finding a good pair of in-ear headphones can be tricky, small earlobes keep looking.

Pros:	Highly Compatible, Comfortable, Rich Sound, Lightweight
Primary use:	Personal
Describe Yourself:	Student, Gear Head
Best Uses:	With My Computer, Portable Devices, With My Phone

I bought one set each for my teenage sons, both as replacement for i-pod OE. They both are very happy, a hard task to achieve. My youngest responds less to my questions when they are on as he can hear less ambient sound. mmmmh!

By kerilrus from Newark, DE on 05/1/2007.

Pros:	Rich Sound, Lightweight, Comfortable, Highly Compatible
Best Uses:	With My Computer, Running, Portable Devices, Music, Travel

Third time i get those, cant get better sound quality for the price! Each time they last me about a year. Never broke on their own, the ear buds wear out and i torn the cord once (thats hard to fix on little things like that). Overall great highs and deep bass, nice isolation too ))

By ac from chicago, il on 04/13/2007.

Pros:	Comfortable, Lightweight, Rich Sound
Best Uses:	Music, With My Computer, Travel

These headphones sound great. The fit is really good. Much better than the Phillips headphones that would fall out of my ear.

Becomes dislodged too easily from ear

By melk from potomac, maryland on 01/25/2007.

Pros:	Lightweight
Best Uses:	Running
Cons:	Uncomfortable

The sound is okay for the price. If they stayed in my ears a little better I could recommend them for use while exercising.

Big bang for the buck

By Eric the dead from Rockland County, NY on 11/20/2006.

Best Uses:	Portable Devices
Pros:	Rich Sound, Highly Compatible, Lightweight, Comfortable, Durable

I would buy this product again

By Brother John from Illinois on 11/17/2006.

Pros:	Lightweight, Durable, Rich Sound, Comfortable
Best Uses:	Portable Devices, Travel, Home Audio, Music

These earbuds are very comfortable and wearable for an extended period of time. I have tried many different styles and this is my favorite so far. I haven't tried running in them, but I have no doubt they would stay in my ears if I did. Also, the sound is very good. For the price, I'd buy them again.
