Review on 🎧 Sony MDREX15LP In-Ear Earbud Headphones, Violet: Enhanced Sound and Comfort for an Immersive Audio Experience by Kevin Mills

My favorite headphones are the Sony MDR EX37B which apparently are no longer made. These were the most durable (a pair I bought in May 2016 for $13 broke in February 2018), most comfortable with the best sound quality I've ever had, so I'm very disappointed that there are more of them not produce. Bought this as a replacement and am disappointed. Right out of the box there is a grainy noise (which /may/ disappear with use, I've had that a few times with Sony headphones and after a couple of weeks it usually goes away) every time you move the cable, that right ear is a little quieter than left, the headphones are quieter than I think they should be (I can listen to music at max volume without flinching) and the sound quality and comfort just aren't as good. I don't know why Sony dumped a good thing and left me this pathetic alternative. Maybe it's time to look elsewhere after at least 7 years of exclusively buying Sony headphones.
