Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony MDREX310LP In-Ear HeadphonesCustomer Review: Sometimes different IS better! Summary: 5 Stars
I have used quite a few headphones in my life, ranging from $10-$150, name and no-name brands. I wear them almost constantly and replace them so often for that very reason.
As far as brands go, Sony and Skullcandy are definitely the most consistent high-performers in premium headphones. And these earphones are no exception. I'll admit, the unusual bud design and their noticeable weight (coming from a very light pair of Sony MDR-EX75's, one of my absolute favorites, btw) gave me a slight pause when I first received them. But once I found the right size of earbud and started up my music library, I was sold. Some people may still not like the heaviness, no matter the sound quality, but I don't mind. In fact, I find that they stay in the ear and around the neck better when the buds are heavier than the cord...
- The sound is second to none, for the price. (They really should be $100 earphones)
- Bass and Treble are both amazing. You are usually lucky to find an earphone that excels in one or the other, but these excel in both)
- I love the longer right-ear cord. It's such a simple idea and yet so practical, particularly when exercising, in my opinion.
- The unorthodox shape truly is a marvel when it comes to keeping the in-ear headphones inside your ear. They felt slightly uncomfortable at first, but after about 30 mins, they felt fine.
- The cord wrapper is nice and low-profile, which I like.
- Super high-quality build. They feel very substantial. In fact, If I swung them against a wall, I bet I'd cause more damage to the wall than the earphones.
- Sound isolation is THE BEST I've ever seen (or heard) out of earphones this size, even without the noise-isolating buds (which I find to be a little too firm for my ears).
- NO SOUND LEAK! Probably the best aspect of these earphones is that the sound leak threshold is incredibly high. I tested them out at the office and asked the guy next to me if he could hear any sound while I turned up the volume on my computer (headphones in my ear). The volume I had when he finally heard something was so high I would probably never have reached it normally. Phenomenal! The office was pretty quite, btw, so no ambient sound to distract his ears.
All-in-all, an amazing product. I would recommend it to anyone that is willing to spend more than $30 on a pair of buds (if you're going to spend 30, I recommend just doubling it and buying these). One thing you may want to consider though, is that these earphones are not terribly low-profile. They don't quite fit comfortably in your ear when the side of your head is pressed up against a pillow, cushion, or something (while lying down on your side, for example)...just thought I'd mention that.
5-Stars all-the-way.
