Review on 🎧 Sony Fontopia MDR-EX51LP Headphones - Discontinued by Manufacturer (SEO-optimized) by Kimberly Evans

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceptional comfort

This is great. I hate most headphones because they keep falling out of my ears. Then I came across the "Boss" product by Koss and I liked it because it stayed in my ears (foam cylinders around the earbuds) but after a while they really wore out on my ears and after about uncomfortable for an hour. I bought a pair of these a little over a month ago when they were on sale and they are great. They have better sound than the ones I've had before (although I've never tried the ultra-expensive types that music lovers love), they isolate you from outside noise very well and remain comfortable no matter how long you wear them. I've just traveled to Melbourne, Australia and the flights between Los Angeles and Melbourne took about 14 hours each way. Both times they were in my ears for most of the trip. When I wasn't using them to listen to movies on the plane or MP3s on my PDA, I left them anyway because the plane is so much quieter. I wore them for probably 10-12 hours on every flight. They stayed in place perfectly and never hurt my ears. If I were to change one thing it would be a short and a long setup which they seem to like for their wires. I'm really more comfortable with the cords to each earbud being the same length, but it doesn't matter. My earbuds came with a small carrying case, which some reviewers have mentioned, but I wouldn't worry about that. It's pretty neat and I don't see it really making a difference. The buds themselves go into the body, then the wires still hang out and need to be wrapped around the body. It's really no less messy than if I just left the case and rolled up cables and headphones.

Pros
  • Four-foot neck cord included
Cons
  • So-so
