Advantages: Cheap, so far reliable Disadvantages: Nothing special
...while exercising, skating or dancing. Sony Acoustic Twin Turbo Circuitry uses sound chamber and ducts for improved efficiency, gets high sonic output from your portable stereo. Silent Cap prevents sound leakage, makes your music less likely to disturb your neighbors. Neodymium magnet assures maximum energy in minimum size. Neodymium is far more powerful than conventional Samarium Cobalt or Aluminum magnets." Well that all sounds delicious and aerodynamically ... ...be it from me to question the intelluctual properties of 'neodymium' but I'm sure it's just inflated, absolute jargon. They fit snuggly into the ear, with minimal padding, but enough to prevent rubbing and still deliver decent sound quality. They don't particularly stand out from the crowd, with theie predominantly black colour with silver trim, but I suppose that's all you expect from a set of headphones, especially at such a low price.

Advantages: Good sound for none gold plated, cheap and Sony Disadvantages: Had two pairs break on me
...for £7- and they were Sony as well. Because I was skint I decided to get these and if they sucked, then later on I would get a better pair when I would afford it. Now let me tell you something, the selection of decent earphones these days is pretty small. Every company seems to be obsessesed with making earphones with those rubber cushions on- which I hate. They always fall out of my ears and end up covered in ear wax, plus when the rubber went on ... ...I figured since they were Sony they shouldn’t have broken in within a year. Argos provided me with a new pair so I thought all was well and I could enjoy my iPod again. WRONG Within the week the hissing returned. Now this was worrying considering I’d hardly used them. Joe told me he had had his pair longer than mine and they still worked fine. Figuring it must be my usual run of bad luck, I decided enough was enough, and returned them again. This ...

...bass and clear treble sound, Sony Acoustic Twin Turbo. The cord length is 1 metre.
These headphones are both durable and inexpensive. Ive had a set for around a year now and use them almost everyday and the sound quality is just as good as the day I got them.

They have a great high tech look and would be a great addition to your Sony Minidisc Player or Personal CD Player. ... ...to your ears only and helps ensure that your music does not disturb others.

MDR-E818LP DE SONY The best in these headphoes is their excellent performance in sounds of low frequency. Bass is better than other headphones of more size. The means are good, the range of the voice reproduces it well. In the high frequencies it diminishes their performance a little. Ideals for reproducers of MP3.They are very robust and comfortables. Their weak point is the cable, it is necessary to be careful, if he/she is given a tug, they can ... ...Their alone weight: 6 grams.Others: Sony acoustic twin Upsets Circuit for enhanced sound quality.Maxim develops: 50mW.

Advantages: great sound, great fitting Disadvantages: none
I have bought a lot of headphones in the past but none compare to Sony's headphones. They are a really good fit in your ear so they don't fall out when walking, running or doing any other activity, they have a really good sound with a bass enhancer to provide a really good sound. The lead is a good length which is ideal for using with items in your pocket and the connection plug fits into most appliances including Ipod's mp3 players and some mobile ...

Advantages: Bass is full and rich. Clear audio reproduction. Very cheap every one can afford Disadvantages: Sticky wires for long usage
...is the cheapest Fontopia earbuds Sony has. Better alternative from the stock headphones of some cheap mp3 players around there. Unfortunately Sony doesn't change the materials. Like for example the wires, for the 1st couple of weeks of usage its very smooth. But in the long run and the wire gets wet by sweat due to normal usage, it will become sticky. Not a good thing. The materials of the wire is similar to other stock headphones of Sony that is ... ...comes in black color. You can have it in other colors but that would be the upgraded model and that will have a diff price. Life span differs on the usage. Mine took a year before it quits on me on every day use. But because the price is so cheap. You can grab another one from any retailer. ...
