Review on ๐ŸŽง Sony MDR-ZX310AP ZX Series Black On-Ear Headphones with Built-In Mic: Wired Sound Excellence by Justin Quinones

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Tangled, face smashed with Oculus Quest

I bought these as a cheap alternative to use with Oculus Quest so my friends wouldn't sweat over my best wired in-ear headphones. Oculus should already have Bluetooth installed on these VR headsets. I just want to point out that I'm 44 years old and the Oculus Quest is the best toy ever made for any generation. I also have an Oculus Go, but it's on a whole different level. While the Rift S and some other VRs can top that, the Quest's fully wireless aspect makes it difficult to turn it off, although the 2-hour battery will do that for you. I could play for hours straight because the headset never feels uncomfortable or heavy for me. It's very well weighted and balanced and the strap is very comfortable, especially compared to the Go. (Of course, I recommend one if you can find it. At the time of this writing, March 2020, they've been sold out/backordered since Black Friday 2019. They're selling out faster than they can make them.) With searching, you'll need single Wired headphones when they all got tangled up and I knocked them off my head while playing Creed as well as taking the quest out of my sight. I've just ordered two separate L/R Quest mono headphones as they get great reviews. Headphones without earclips never stay in my ears, which is why I was hesitant to try them at first. I do not know? Let's see how they run, maybe they'll stop. Good. Since you're stuck on that independent, perhaps unnecessary, personal experience when it comes to these headphones themselves, they actually sounded pretty good for their price point. The ear cushions are made of cheap "leather" and are uncomfortable. You also notice that the leather tears at some point and detaches after a short time. The biggest problem was that it is impossible to tell who is right and who is a lion. No marks on either side and both sides look the same inside and out. For the price, they sound better than expected, but everything else about them is below average. In everyday use, I don't see these headphones lasting a couple of months at most. For what I bought them for they are worthless and without Revain's amazing return policy this would be a waste of money.

Pros
  • Confident
