Review on Sony MDR-Q55SL Clip-On Headphones (Silver) (Discontinued By Manufacturer) by April Kahn

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Completely useless design.

I don't know what the designers were trying to achieve here. The current status of the fit of this product leaves a lot to be desired. In my experience, this type of headphone is preferred by people who wear glasses and is bought specifically for this purpose, so that the ears do not press against the glasses and cause pain. Getting dressed is a chore, and holding it becomes painful. After a while, the ears begin to hurt like ordinary headphones without being pressed against the skull. That's a real achievement. The choice of cable and its connection is useless, as is the rest of the design. The sound is okay, but doesn't make up for the lack of comfort. Do yourself a favor and order the Koss KSC75 portable stereo headphones. They are cheaper, much more convenient, and the sound quality is almost the same. I think some of the reviews mentioned training in them. I don't know what kind of training they have, but chess is recognized as an Olympic sport. Any use of these headphones other than on a stationary bike should be considered self-harm.

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • very expensive
