Sony MDR-E9LP

No bass, poor high-end. Comfortable Design.

These headphones just straight up sound bad. There's no other way to say it. They can get very loud which is a plus, but trying to listen to music on these is a very poor experience, bass is non-existant. This isn't a problem with being worn out either, I just bought these 30 minutes ago. If I wasn't buying them to replace a pair that had broken I would return them. They are EQ'd to heavily favor mid-range frequencies, meaning that stand-alone vocals are the best fit for these headphones. If you only listen to audiobooks and podcasts these aren't too bad, especially with how loud they can get. But music on these should be avoided wherever possible.

Black Sony MDR-E9LP Earphone

I tried everything I could do to get these headphones to sound even decent. I am using them with a Sony MP3 player that has some equilizer settings and TrueBass response feature. Nothing I tried could get any kind of bass sound out of these headphones. They sound as cheap as the price.

Great

Good, cute and inexpensive headphones. Shipped Fast!

Bad

Sound quality was ok but no bass whatsoeverYou can hear everything clearly in the background even when volume is turned up higherDoesn't fit in ear

Don't bother buying them they are the type of earphones I try to avoid that don't even fit in your ear. last time I buy earphones online.

Really, really bad, no bass whatsoever. Definitely not meant for music of any kind, barely acceptbel for audio books. For comparison, include Sony's previous MDR E828LP, which was superior. But they produced unfortunately not anymore ... would have bought me a coat.

cereal box sound quality

These are very cheap headphones, but even for their price they are poor. I have in the past paid about 5-10 extra for a cheap pair of Senheisser in ear types like this, and Phillips, that have actually played the music how it is supposed to sound. these have no bass, and wash out and become tinny and distorted at anything over half volume on most devices. awful awful sound quality, needed a cheap emergency pair to last while my good ones came in the mail. do not purchase unless you are using it for something like an audio book, or phone calls or maybe spoken word poetry
