Good

6

out of 10

The good: Inexpensive; good step up from stock buds in both comfort and sound quality; offers some passive sound isolation; clear and balanced audio.

The bad: Cheap, plastic design; cable is thin and tangle-prone; similarly priced earbuds from Sony offer more features and deeper bass.

The bottom line: There may be better options in this price range, but the Sony MDR-EX55LP is still a good step up from stock earphones for listeners who like balanced audio across a variety of genres.

These are Great Earbuds For Your Money

Jul 8, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Cheap, I got them for $30 at BestBuy, Great Sound with Treble/Bass
Cons: MDR-EX75s are now out, they are slightly better for about the same price.
Opinion:
I've bought about 10 earbuds in the last year or so but ANY of the Sony MDR-EX series are great, I've had these MDR-EX55s for about 3 months until the middle broke off.

Sony has a better version of this Sony MDR-EX75, they come with an extension wire so you don't break the middle.

These sure are better than Apple In-ear headphones, those are the worst.
