MDRE9LP/BLU Earbud Headphones, Blue

This particular ear buds has an amazing sound quality, and its at a low price! It is great for walking, jogging, running, and working out at the gym. I use it very often, almost every day! It has lasted me about a good 2 years, and I would be happy to order another set for that price! The reason why it lasted me about 2 years was because I just had an accident with breaking mines. Take good care of your ear buds, and it will last even longer. It fits my ear holes well and is comfortable wearing them. It has good outside-noise cancellation, so it can be just you and your music when taking those morning or evening jogs around public places (or using in noisy places like the malls, airports, busy streets, etc.). I turn up the volume very loud as well (but not to the fullest volume level), especially when I am vigorously exercising at the gym, and I don't notice its sound quality degrading. There has been no annoying static sound like some other earbuds have when turning up the volume. It has very good bass through these small earbuds. That's probably why I mainly like this product, for its strong bass. I listen to lots of songs with electric guitars, like rock and heavy metal music. I also listen to hip-hop songs that play heavy bass in the backgrounds. These earbuds are also good for techno music with strong beats. They are also good on ASMR videos on Youtube (I personally watch Cherry Crush and Russian ASMR Kitty Klaw). Try these earbuds out on ASMR and they will impress you! When you first use these earbuds, try all of the sound preset equalizer settings on your music devices to see which one is good for you (I personally like the ROCK and the R&B setting on my iPod, it sounds very good for me). One problem I've had with it was listening to music through my android phone, it doesn't sound too very good. However, it maybe just might be the android phone that I have, since some mobile phones aren't meant to play music with good sound quality. That's where my iPod comes in. iPods are built to enhance sound quality with its preset equalizer settings and allow you to enjoy your music experience. I have been using this earbuds since 2007 and I am still a proud customer. I've ordered some more at different colors for my family and friends, and they all love it as well! This product definitely deserves a 5 star rating for its amazing sound performance.

These are my favorite "old school" earbuds. They offer great quality, they're super affordable, and most importantly, they are incredibly comfortable. I’ve been buying these for years, and they are truly the only buds I wear. ​I’ve tried Bluetooth wireless earbuds multiple times, but they are always uncomfortable and end up hurting my ears. Because these are wired, the actual earpieces are much smaller and fit perfectly. Since I move around a lot, I do tend to lose them occasionally, but given the price and quality, they are easy to replace. I hope these are always available—they are exactly what I need!

sony quality,good for price,am happy with purchase

I’ve had these about 7 months and they’ve had multiple unfortunate trips through the washer and dryer, but have still held up great! I bought them intentionally looking for no noise cancelling earbuds for work, and these play very clearly while still allowing me to hear the world around me. Very useful for exercising outdoors as well! I use with an apple connector for my phone. Surprisingly better than I expected sound wise; the bass gets pretty crunchy if it’s too loud but most of my music sounds alright, especially considering these are dirt cheap. Good pair of beater earbuds. Added bonus is the early 2000’s bright blue plastic looks great in the ears!

Awesome value for what you get. Great Sony earbuds. Works great with Xbox controller. Thanks Sony

Defective right out of the box. I ordered two, one I use for my laptop, the other I use for my cellphone. The first one had no sound in the left ear. In the right ear, the sound was awful - like the music I was trying to listen to was in a long hallway. The second pair made static and would cut out sound anytime I moved my head, it also has that long hallway sound. They are not eligible for a return, nor a replacement. So I'm out $15.00 My previous Sony headphones quit after one year. I will not buy Sony again. Don't buy them! I took a chance 'because Sony' but two for two basically useless. So disappointed.

This will be a first impression review of 3 Sony earbuds bought at the same time: *** MDRE9LP (the Ipod type that only sits inside the outer part of the ear) **** MDR-EX37B (black body insertion type) ***** MDR-EX25LP (tiny unit that goes entirely into the ear) All arrived in the typical over-engineered packaging that you can see that the designer is the only one that knows how to open without destroying the packaging. I've yet to figure out why. Background: My wife uses earbuds all day, home or work. Connecting to her BLU Selfie phone, her HP Laptop, her Toshiba Chromebook and her various Samsung tablets. She goes through them quickly, but we've had bad results from buying cheap buds, especially the Panasonic RPHJE120 line, which we bought 5 different colors and are all in a drawer because they don't align easily in the ear and have low output volume and very low bass... unacceptable even though they are Amazon's #1 Best Seller. She prefered to tape together some of her other broken earbuds and limp along with those instead. Her favorites to date have been the nice earbuds that came with her BLU phone and some very old ones that came with an Ipod she seldom uses anymore, but both of those are held together with scotch tape and come apart easily. Soooo, I decided to buy one each of some Sony units to see which she liked. We both tested each using the same song at the same volume out of the phone. She likes the EX37B ones the best (first quick use). These were priced at $13.99 and are the standard kind of L configuration. I like that they have a rugged appearance and a very good stress relief so the wires are not so likely to get damaged when she yanks them out or they get snagged on something as she rushes around while using them. To me (refined pitch perfect audiophile ears), they are a little distorted and loud, but have tremendous bass response. Second she liked the tiny EX25LP. THEY WERE MY FAVORITE BY FAR! These were priced $14.99 and are little egg-like things that fall completely in the ear with only the thin wire coming out. My concern with these was that there is no stress relief for the wires at all, but upon trying them, we both remarked how easily they slide exactly into the right place in our ears, no alignment needed and they come out VERY easy... but do not FALL out on their own. They fit perfectly and have a very good sound, but not a huge bass note like the EX37B and our BLU phone buds. Lastly she didn't like the MDRE9LP units that just are like little speakers that do not go into the ear canal, like so many you see and exactly like the Ipod buds she likes so much. These are hard to place properly in the ear and don't have the volume or bass quality of the other two. They are the cheaper of the trio at $8.99 and I don't see these being used unless it's a choice between those and the Panasonics. I will UPDATE this review as problems or wonders happen. Stay tuned.

My love for these ear buds is a true love. I have been buying these exact ear buds for years now. The first time, I bought them because the ear buds that came with my iPod Classic died and I wanted something affordable but good quality. I bought them for about $10 at some local store and fell in love. They have a great length to them and are long lasting. Honestly, the reason why I've bought so many of these over the years isn't that they break - it's because I end up losing them on public transportation or among my collection of things. This style of headphones has lasted with me over the years and I know that the moment I lose (not break) the ones I currentlly have, I'll buy another pair. Pros: - Long cord that makes it easy for you to comfortably place your phone in your front or back pocket while listening to music. Also - great length for when you want to rest your phone on the treadmill stand while running. - Durable - can handle more abuse than any product should be able to withstand. - Decent sound quality. I'm no audiophile - I just want to be able to hear my music. It plays classical well enough to hear the flutes and it's decent for when you have a lot of bass. - Price - for 10 bucks or less you can't go wrong. - Portable - small headphones that are easy to keep with you everywhere. Overall, I definitely recommend these headphones if you're looking for some decent headphones for a great price. Perfect for the person who takes public transit, runs, or just lives an active lifestyle.
