5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended., April 4, 2003

(REAL NAME)   
Try as I might, I simply can't find headphones that match these for comfort, price, and performance. My data:
- the wireless over-ear models like MDRIF330RK have too much electrical and RF interference
- The Sony MDR-EX70LP can't be worn for hours at a stretch (the funky ear rubber covers are to blame)
- The street style Sony MDR-G57G don't have the low end response that these do.

I'm continuously blown away by how well these stack up against other models way out of its price range.

This wouldn't be an unbiased review without some shortcomings:
- they are easily jarred loose with lots of bodily movement (good for desk jockeys and rollerblading, not running)
- they don't come with extra foam ear covers. Lose one and they're worthless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best headphones for under 10 bucks, April 15, 2006
I don't know what those bad reviews are talking about. These headphones are simply the best ones I've had so far. After a horrible experience with Koss P4 headphones, I decided to look for other headphones under 10 bucks. I came across these in a local store one day and decided to try them out. It was a wonderful surprise to hear good bass response as well as feel a comfortable fit.
What's good:
1) Great bass which doesn't block out the treble/mid range and isn't muddy at all
2) Good fit, with or without the foam padding. I prefer it without the padding, since it just slips in and doesn't fall out.
3) Good case to protect the cord, etc. Kept it safe in my backpack.

However, there are of course somethings that could be improved, but aren't that bad:
1) Short cord, but I've learned to deal with it and either hold my mp3 player or put it in a closer pocket.
2) Does get unconfortable after about an hour - other reviewers have explained that... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Earbuds!, February 21, 2004
By

SONY's Fontopia Ear Bud Headphones provide a wide range of natural sound. They have a sleek black and silver finish, a Y-shaped cord that is a little over three feet long, and an L-shaped Stereo Mini Plug. The ultra compact headphones fit snugly, and comfortably, inside the ear, eliminating the need for a headband. The MDR-E818LPs come with slip-on ear pads. These are in a small plastic pouch hidden behind the cardboard insert in the clear packaging. Be careful when you first open the container, as it would be easy to throw out the ear pads by mistake.

These particular headphones would be especially good for movement -- such as while jogging, mowing the lawn, running, or lifting weights. They only weigh 5 grams. After a few minutes, you will scarcely notice you are wearing them. The Silent Cap on the ear buds stops sound leakage, so you're less likely to disturb someone sitting next to you while you enjoy your music. I use these with my laptop if someone else in the room...
