Sony MDR-EX650AP Earphone with Brass Housing,Microphone and Control - Black

After ordering the Meta Quest 2, I was keen to quickly find high quality, spacious (so that sound, 'sounds' wide and open... e..g a scene in a film in a banquet hall; I want to sense that cutlery and chatter is all around me at varying distances). Naturally, having spent hundreds on the VR headset, I was particularly budget-conscious and my expectations were tempered -I had the 'visual' side but maybe wait until next year to go crazy on the 'audio' side. If I spent 'only' £50 and got some halfway decent sound I would have been content, although I expected little more. However, these are the Brass Bad Boys...the Sony MDR-EX650AP. Mysteriously luxurious looking yet priced around the £40 mark. The type of price you'd pay for lesser-known brands on high street retail shelves. I paid £37 I believe...so what are they? These headphones have an in-ear design and include silicone plugs in different sizes. Additionally, they also feature a built-in microphone. What is astounding is the fact that they are really made from massive brass. That's good for durability and provides slightly better protection against external noises. Sony applied a clear coat in order to maintain the shiny appearance of the metal. If it gets worn over time, you may have to polish the metal from time to time – the function should not be affected. The material truly becomes vintage as it visibly ages over time.. The earphones are very comfortable and well-balanced. The selection of materials for the cable is equally impressive. It has a subtly coarse texture and is coated with a pleasantly tactile plastic. The purpose of this combination is to prevent the transfer of cable noise to the headphones. Mission successful: you almost hear nothing besides your music. With Sony headphones, you won't have to worry about annoying cable rubbing noises on your jacket like you do with other headphones. Small details like that can hardly be advertised as major selling points, but when you take these factors into account, in total, they are in fact, major selling points... but only when the actual sound is on point. The sound is great on both ends. If you choose to use the MDR-EX650AP for listening to music, you will be amazed by the exceptional sound quality it offers within this price range. If you take telephone calls, you can hear yourself the exact right amount (crosstalk). Really though, had this product cost £100 more, it would still be worth the investment simply because the audio quality is spacious, the bass is forceful, and the highs are not overly shrill. For my intended Gaming and VR: amazing purchase...taking the price into account, perfect. 5/5.

Having had Sony in-ear headphones throughout my teenage Walkman years and loved them, it was lovely to read the reviews online saying they've come back to producing good quality and sounding headphones at reasonable prices. I've been using Klipsch S4i's for the last few years as I wanted good sound when using my iPhone, but still have the remote control and the ability to put the phone & 'phones in my jeans pocket, so clunky cans were not an option. They have been great, but after reading about these I took a chance when I need a new set and am so glad I did - the build quality is truly excellent, they feel they can stand any abuse I might give them with the 'phones, cable and even the plug feeling very sturdy and resilient. The remote doesn't have volume keys, but to be honest am picking holes at that point as otherwise these are perfect. Sonically, these offer a better bass and soundstage than the Klipsch model and are the best I've heard without going into £200+ range. They fit comfortably, the right-angle plug is nice to avoid stressing the phone's socket when in my pocket, and as I said the build quality is very reassuring. They come with a little bag to hold them, but I tend to just stuff them in my pocket when I go out, and they seem fine with it - even the silicon buds are well-designed and don't come off accidentally when pulling them out of my pocket as others have done. So overall am delighted with them and expect them to last, though whether my own hearing will fare so well remains to be seen after all those teenage years of blasting rock!

With these headphones I came from the Soundmagic E10, which I was, for the most part, happy with. The only thing missing was a mic and a bit of bass. With the E10's I used the included double flange eartips since their isolation wasn't great. I discovered these earphones through their magical What HiFi rating which made me take the plunge. Bearing in mind I'm not an audiophile and this is the most I've spent on headphones. When first trying the headphones, they didn't sound great. The sound was muddy and lacking in bass which was slightly surprising. But they had glowing reviews and I've heard of this 'burn in period' as well so I decided to persist with them, and I'm glad I did! They definitely open up after a few hours use and they definitely pack a punch with the bass (but not overpowering). If you're coming from iPhone earphones, there's a huge difference! You hear things in your songs that you've never heard and they actually stay in your ear! The fit was pretty good. Once you choose the right earbud size (I had to go one lower than the ones fitted on originally) they stay in your ear perfectly thanks to the design which sort of just sits in your ear. The isolation was pretty good as well. Once they fit in your ear properly they block a fair amount of outside noise. Since i'm on a daily commute to London, I'm not looking to block all the sound since I don't have a death wish so they're perfect for me. I've actually used these in the gym as well. Obviously not great, but not as bad as you may think! They probably fell out twice but for the most part managed to stay in There are a few negatives. I've had these less than a month, and the brass colour has sort of started chipping away which is disappointing. Another thing is the button on the inline mic is quite mushy. There's no good response from it so there's quite a few times where I'm unsure if I've actually pressed it or not. I hate the one button for everything approach, but I suppose this isn't really a Sony problem so they cannot be faulted for that. All in all, a great choice without breaking the bank.

Mid-bas dengesi ve farklı müzik tınıları için ses aralığı çok başarılı, vokalde keza öyle ancak bazen gereğinden fazla hissetirdiği oluyor. Genel olarak bakılırsa piyasadaki kaliteli kulaklıklardan.

These head iPhones are really good Great Sound.

Gewoon goede oortjes voor de prijs, gaan naar mijn ervaring ook erg lang mee. Veel langer dan oortjes in dezelfde prijsklasse.

The most terrible headphones I ever bought. No quality, white noise. I want my money back!

Alors j'ai longtemps hésité à prendre ces écouteurs. Mes anciens intra : des Bose Mie2i (iPhone), au bout d'un an le caoutchouc des cordons (extrêmement meuble) se déchire de partout, fils à nu, résultat du scotch d'électricien partout, une oreillette en moins, galère et horrible. En revanche ce sont les meilleurs que j'ai eu en terme de son. Concernant les Sony : - le prix : est imbattable c'est certain, ne cherchez pas ^^ - le son : la grosse frayeur lors de la première écoute, aucune basse à bas volume et très faible à volume moyen ! Il s'avère en réalité que le choix des embouts d'oreillette est primordial. Si vous n'êtes pas bien enveloppé, les basses "s'échappent" et vous procure un son très plat. Après le changement des embouts (lol) et plusieurs heures d'écoute (pop-rock), le spectre est légèrement grossi sur les aiguës et début de medium, ça n'est pas dérangeant honnêtement. Les basses sont très bonnes sans être envahissantes. A fort volume les aiguës auront tendances à être un peu criards (en cherchant la petite bête). Dans le genre Techno/House/Rap, les écouteurs réagissent bien, les aiguës cristallisent un peu. (les écouteurs surpassent effectivement certaines marques à 120€, pas des Bose par contre pour en avoir eu) - le confort : excellent rien à dire. - esthétique : excellente et discrète, les finitions sont très belles ! Je vous recommande ce produit ! Pour les mélomanes, je vous conseille des marques plus chères, vous serez potentiellement déçus par un rendu éloigné de la réalité mais à ce prix on ne peut pas le reprocher. Autres : - livré avec 4 paires d'oreillettes de taille différente - une housse souple en tissu très pratique et petite pour transporter vos écouteurs partout - un arceau en caoutchouc rigide de 3 cm de long pour réduire la longueur des écouteurs (en enroulant le fil autour) très pratique ! - commandes iPhone : 1 clic pause/décrocher/raccrocher, 2 clics piste suivante, 3 clics piste précédente, 1 clic long refuser appel
