Sony Extra Bass In Ear Sound Isolating Headphones

This is one of the best headphones I have ever had the pleasure of owning. The refined sound signature is something that really agrees with my listening preference, practically no listening fatigue with them at all. At the same time, it's very involving with a wide and tall soundstage, rich textural mids and vocals and great bass and sub-bass extension, when called for. Perfect for any music genre really. The design and comfort is absolutely top notch as well. Note, if you prefer headphones with very strong highs/treble, these are not for you. The treble is accurate, yet laid back compared to other headphones which seem to need to shoot the treble in to your ears in the guise of being 'high resolution'. Sony really stepped it up in all respects with their Z1R headphones. They're made in an in-house artisan department within Sony as well, not mass produced.

I purchased the Sony extra bass smartphone headset to use for work purposes and only wanted to spend around $20. I am using these headphones for medical transcription and they are perfect in that respect. They have a good fit and are comfortable to use for several hours at a time. If you're looking for a pair of headphones under $20, I would recommend these.

The sound of this Sony ear-bud is exceptional for such a low cost! I have used these E9LP ear-bud headphones.... on the go for casual listening and at home critical listening and they do not disappoint! At such a low price, I own several pairs. I am very happy with the comfort and the high sound quality! Highly recommended...

I bought this product because I wanted good quality sound isolating ear buds for running. And, boy, do they deliver. Yes, it takes some time to get use to them and yes, they feel awkward sometimes. But don't let that deter you.

Love my new SE215 Sound-Isolating In-Ear Stereo Earphones! Easy to use, and great on stage for live performances, as well as in rehearsal! Yes, I have two and would buy them again! ***** Great product!

The SENNHEISER IE 4 earphones give great Bass.The sound is clear and crisp.I bought these buds for my COWON D2.I also tried CX 300 but specially Bass is better than CX 300.Also Mids and Treble.For this price you can buy another brand isolation earbuds they may be more successful on isolating but i can say that sound that Sennheiser IE 4 give is better than the phones in this price range. It has microdrive not diaphragm so this is an advantage.One con is sound isolating but it is more important that an earphone gives rich sound. Problems Encountered: No problems...

I have only about 7 hours on these phones, so I would still consider them being in the break-in period. Observations so far: they sound musical. What I mean is that they sound like the music is coming directly from the instruments, not through headphones. If you've ever used a pair of inferior cans, you know exactly what I mean. The sound is natural, and frequency response appears to be quite flat. These headphones do NOT have any extra bass or heavy EQ that ruin the purity of the audio material. The fit is tight but comfortable, and insulation from the ambient environment is very good. These cans are built better than my old Sony MDR-V6, which also sound neutral, natural, and pure. If you like pure music without silly things like extra bass or other sound-ruining gadgets, I would give these cans a try.

I love these headphones. As stated in the title, I replaced my Shure SE215 in-ear monitors with these. I used Shure IEM's for traveling because of the high sound isolation provided by the triple flange ear tips. I decided to go a different direction with these because all my other headphones are Sony and I've always preferred the sound of Sony. I use Sony IEMs and Sony over-ear headphones for producing, mixing, and mastering music to give you an idea of my sound preference and experience with critical listening. The noise cancellation in the WI-1000XM2 is very comparable to the sound isolation of the Shure's. I would say with the proper fit, the noise cancellation is better, unquestionably in the low frequencies. The sound of the WI-1000XM2 is excellent. Slightly bright but not overbearing and certainly not lacking in bass. Detailed, clear, and balanced. I've already used them for traveling and love them, especially on planes. This is my first neckband headphone and it doesn't bother me. I might even say I prefer it as they can remain around my neck without constant stowing. Also, the cords to the earpieces are short won't tangle :) The build quality is excellent. I highly recommend them!

Now that my whole family is working at home with me, I've had to mix in headphones more than I'd prefer. I've never had to be dependent on headphones for a mix the way I am now, and so was previously mixing on Sony 7506 headphones. As DJ headphones, the Sony's are great, but for mixing, it was frustrating to say the least! Getting these room some adjustment at first, reminding my brain what flat sound should sound like in headphones. Once I got used to them, I was able to trust them and use my instincts in my mixes in the same way as my near field monitors. Previous reviews praised how comfortable they are, and they ain't lying! I can wear these for hours and don't get all sweaty, or feel that pinch pain in the upper ear. I was also surprised in the low end response. At first, it seemed boomy, especially previously mixing on the Sony's. As my ears adjusted, I was really impressed with the low end clarity and how true they were. I mix a lot of boom bap style hip hop and electronic music with heavy low end, and these thing reproduce that sub sound nicely. Someone mentioned the mid range on these isn't quite as punchy. That's true, but you learn to adjust quickly, and without ear fatigue, you can get a feel for them quick. I was happily surprised to see extra cables and replacement pads! It might have said they come with those things in the description, but I didn't see it. So I was stoked when I saw that stuff in the package. While the price point is kind of up there, having used them for a while now, and realizing how they allow me to mix so efficiently, I feel it's worth it.

Calls are clear, bass is not as strong as in ear headphones. All in all, they’re great for working outside.
