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

I bought 3 pairs of these headphones. One for my wife that gave it to her nephew because he liked it so much. Note that my wife liked them too, but she rarely uses headphones, so she didn't have to buy them again - she just went back to the Apple iPod if she uses her iPod occasionally. First for myself - I abused them by winding them up on my iPod, putting them in my pocket and committing other acts of violence against them. The third pair was my spare (but I wanted a different color). I was tempted to go with Bose, Shure, or Etymotic (I wondered why there would be such a fuss about people paying hundreds of dollars for those brands), but I just couldn't justify the extra money when I really, really happy with that was these brands. .Cable is OK. I typically use these with my iPod on a 2 hour commute to work and have had no issues with the cable fraying or fraying. I now carry them in the little plastic case that came with my eyeglass repair kit which not only keeps them clean but protects them from the worries of my pocket. The sound is just great. I use them almost exclusively with my iPod and have no complaints. I really found that playing with the EQ on the iPod made a huge difference (I prefer either acoustic or electronic tuning no matter what type of music I listen to - rock, R&B, jazz, pop, whatever). ) I really like their fit. I put them in and they fit. I take them out and put them in my little suitcase. They are comfortable - and if they worked 2 hours a day (in any direction!) they would be uncomfortable, they wouldn't be used to it. something is wrong with the headphones). Sitting next to me, she complains that if I turn the volume up too high on my iPod (and I have to admit I sometimes turn it up to 3/4ths) she can hear the music. If you're a city traveler like me, this is something to consider. I think you will be very happy with it. I AM.
