They come with a soft little carrying pouch with a pull-string closure as well as three pairs of different-sized tips. disclaimer: just wanted headphones for listening to music/compute use. not an audiophile or in the audio/studio related professions They are a solid pair of buds that don't feel as if they would break easily. I've dropped them many times before from quite high distances where they slam to the ground quite hard, but I didn't notice any difference in sound. Although I did notice a small chip on the outer metal ring on one of the earbuds. Overall the build quality seems relatively decent and could easily last more than a year.

These earphones had quite good comfort, the tips fit nicely in the ear and sit quite deep. For me they get a bit uncomfortable after prolonged periods of use but that could just be due to me generally getting uncomfortable listening to music for longer than 3 hours. They don't fall out of the ear too easily and don't ever feel too heavy. Overall a very comfortable earphone and which securely fits in the ear. These are fantastic and top notch earbuds in terms of sound quality. These have lovely and amazing bass and sound great for your the price. Looks are subjective but to me the red version looks the best personally I been using and buying these for years. A great feature they have is that they last me a very long time before they stop working the current pair I have are around 3 years old granted the microphone and button stopped working a while ago but the earphones still sound better than my anker soundcore liberty 2 pro. Alas they do have cons : I've had these for about two years now and I don't have any complaints so far. The build quality is superb - I like that these wires dont tangle and are strong enough to withstand fairly rough use over these two years. The cable noise is noticeable. The microphone is okayish - I prefer not to use it to take calls. The color on the housing of these IEMs has started coming off (as you can see in the picture). The quality of silicone ear tips is great - I never had to replace them and they feel comfortable sitting in my ears for extended period of time (8 hours+). The sound isolation is fine but not enough to fully isolate the noise of engines when taking a flight or the sound of a subway train when traveling for work. Maybe it would be worth investing in foam ear tips that conform to your ear canal for better seal. the earphones depending on your ear shape which in terms of mine, the headphones do fall out by themselves not constantly but enough to be annoying .

Other than the mic casing, these are made from quality material. You can feel it, and I was able to see it over the years with these ear buds. The sound quality was very obviously marketed towards the average consumer/basshead, considering that's what the whole point of the earphone is, then I'd say that the sound quality was actually quite decent. It started off very harsh on treble when the volume was above 50% but eventually one they burned in, the sound treble became less harsh and actually quite recessed. The bass is easily the biggest selling point on these, they are quite bassy and give a good umph. The highs are very present but not too overpowering. Mids were decent but overtaken by the bass as you would imagine. The overall sound quality of these were quite decent, a large emphasis on bass but the rest of the sound stayed relatively present.

Great IEMs with punchy and powerful bass, clear mids and okayish highs. The build quality is great and they look awesome (I got the one in red color). How comfortable they are will depend on person to person, but I felt they I could wear them for extended periods of time without any problems. The sound isolation is decent, but its not enough to isolate the noise of a subway train when you are traveling. build quality: pretty good. Cord/earbuds get caught in couch and other furniture often...so far haven't noticed any damage. The silicone pieces earbuds itself sometimes detaches tho, but haven't lost them so far. So I have been on a tirade of buying earbuds, from 10 dollar cheap-ies to Bose 99.99 earbuds.... and I have to say I am blown away. The cord feels a little cheap, but it's not too bad. I'm kinda paranoid about crappy cords because I tend to get them tangled up and they end up breaking the earbuds. The actual ear buds are kinda big, as a few people have mentioned. I have medium sized ears and I would say they are pretty big.Finally, the comparison. I have reviewed sennheisers (which I am a huge fan of their normal studio headphones, but not their earbuds) and other cheap off brand as well as cheap known brand earbuds. These sound the absolute best. Even comparing to the 99.99 bose earbuds, these sony's just sound way better. The only difference between the sony's and the bose is that if you want to lay your head down on a pillow, resting on the side of your face and ear, the bose are way more comfy and you can sleep with them in, while these protrude just a little to where you might get some ear agitation which isn't a huge deal. So at the moment I use the sony's as long as I can, and IF I sleep with my earbuds in (binaural beats use) then I will switch to the bose so I can lay on my ear with zero discomfort or ear pain. If you're in the market for a pair of earphones, then the Sony MDR-XB50 might just fit the bill. Worn in-ear, they weigh 8 g and are designed for comfort. They are quite comfortable for wearing over long periods of time, including with mild pressure (eg. when slumped over on the bus) Overall, very satisfied with the audio, and I believe that for most consumers, the audio quality is more than enough.

The first thing to know about this product is that I found the box containing it impossible to open without tearing the cardboard, and the earbuds were jammed into the plastic insert inside, so even if I wanted to return the product, I'm sure it wouldn't be accepted as a return with a torn box. For me, they fit really well in my ears. I've used them at the gym, while running, while on the bus, walking to work...etc and they've never fallen out.There is a little bit of audio leakage (people around you hearing your music) if you go to louder volumes. For lower- to medium volumes, you won't bother anyone around. I've tried a variety of sounds with this pair of headphones - my music preferences are a bit swingy so I've tested rap, edm, country, acoustic instruments, pop, indie....etc. They are VERY loud - about 110dB. As AMAZING as these sound on full blast, please do not listen to them that loudly, especially for long periods of time. You'll be asking for permanent ear damage.

The "extra bass" thing isn't just a sales pitch - these really do have strong bass. I was very impressed. It made my music sound so much more intense and helped me connect emotionally to it more. It isn't overbearing - it just sounds GOOD. Impactful. First off, my use case is for my cellphone only. I use these with my Google Pixel XL like all earbuds I buy. Which means no EQ tweaking, not much power driving them, just cell phone spec usage. If you are looking for cheap IEMs that wont break your bank but at the same time can be your daily driver and sound outstanding, these will be the right fit. If you are looking for critical listening, then maybe its worth looking into more high end IEMs.working out with these are cumbersome due to the cable (duh) but is more prone to falling out then normal.
