Product Description

Sony's MDR-EX55 Ear-Bud Headphones use a silicon Ear-Bud that allows the driver to fit comfortably in the ear canal and prevents it from slipping out too easily. It also helps to block surrounding noise by helping to seal the ear canal from that noise. The EX55 also comes with 3 different sizes of Ear-Buds allowing them to fit comfortably in a large range of ear sizes.

5.0 out of 5 stars In ear, around the neck earbuds, December 26, 2009

These are the best earbuds I have found to date. This model sits in the ear, blocking out most background noise. Three bud sizes are included, allowing the user a custom fit. These are "around the neck" earbuds. Meaning the left cord is shorter than the right side, which is meant to be worn behind your neck. This allows you to be fairly active with your earbuds on and the cord remains out of your way. This feature also allows you to remove one bud with out taking them completely off; say to answer the phone, talk to a neighbor or gym mate. It's a feature I can't do with out.

There is a slight breaking in period with the sound. I would say, no more than 2 hours at best. The sound, clarity and ease of the around the neck cord make the Sony MDR-EX55LP earbuds my fav.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly comfortable, June 7, 2009

I needed earbuds that would stay in place better when I exercised with my IPOD, were more comfortable than the hard earbuds and had excellent sound quality. This product fit the bill on all 3 needs! When flying they had the effect of noise cancelling as well - huge bonus. The Amazon price is of course much better than in the airport!

my son owned a pair of sony earbuds in the past and was happy with them. this pair stopped working on the right side in three weeks. he is not ruff with them so I know it is a tech issue with the ear phones. a lot of money, for them to not last.
