Amazon.com Product Description
These super-light, ear-bud headphones weigh a mere six grams (.18 ounces.) They are the perfect headphone for those who relish lightweight, quality headphones. The silent cap confines the music to the listener's ear and away from those in the immediate area, a plus for those using the headphones in the coffee shop or library. The earphones are also open-air, meaning they allow ambient noises to enter the ear; this translates to a safer headphones, as the listener will be aware of horns, whistles and shouts.

The MDR-E828LP's deliver a quality sound, even with their small size. The headphones use sixteen millimeter drive units for a deep bass and clear treble. Sony also uses neodymium magnets which provide more energy per ounce than other conventional magnets. The PET diaphragm gives the headphones a high rigidity for minimum distortion. Finally, Sony's Acoustic Twin Turbo circuit achieves high sonic output by utilizing sound chamber and duct technology. The oxygen-free litz cord transfers sound efficiently. The cord is one meter long (3.3 feet) for ample range of movement. The housing is a modern, hi-tech, black and silver metallic finish.

5 out of 5 stars Cheap Price - EXCELLENT Audio   December 19, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Don't be fooled by the pricetag - these are high quality earbuds. They offer some of the best bass i have found in earbuds for under $100. I am also a big fan of the slightly oblong speaker shape that allows you to snugly fit them into your ear without pushing real deep. Most earbuds are too large and push out on the cartilage, causing pain after about a half-hour of listening. These are the perfect size.

I generally stray from earbuds as more and more research has shown how detrimental they are to your hearing. With these, I can monitor the sound level (usually at about 60% on my ipod's volume scale) without compromising audio quality and the much sought after bass. The carrying case is very functional and super easy to use.

The only issue that I would forsee here is in quality control over a bad batch of speakers. Check the packaging as mine came with a warranty (although i purchased them at a small, discount odds-and-ends shop in NYC)



5 out of 5 stars great ear buds!!!   December 10, 2008
Bought these ear buds some 3 weeks ago....they are great!! Great bass sound & high ends are very clear. Had a friend who listened to them & said the origianl Apple ear buds have better bass response.....so I went to an Apple store & did a side by side comparison of the Apple vs these Sony.....hands down the Sony was better!!....much better bass response that it was not even close, & the high ends & mid range were so much better, I told a sales rep there what I was doing & he smiled, like he knew. So, if your are replacing your Apple ear buds, these are the bomb!!


5 out of 5 stars Sony MDR-E828LP Ear Bud Headphones GREAT BUY!   December 9, 2008
The headphones were shipped super fast. So far, the ear buds work great. Good sound quality, comfortable, and most importantly INEXPENSIVE! Sounds better than the more expensive headphones I have used in the past. The convenient winding protective case is a huge plus. Highly recommended!!


3 out of 5 stars Good but don't last   December 8, 2008
The sound in these earphones are indeed really good for the price but Ive bought them twice and both times one ear went out in a matter of months. You get what you pay for


1 out of 5 stars Broke on 2nd day of use   December 6, 2008
They sounded fine for a day, but one ear just stopped working on the 2nd day. Save your money.
