Product Description

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.

why try to re-invent the wheel??? this headset unit, has a long side and a short side.... all the other headset EVER made have two equal leagth sides....... this one is not like that.......and it drives me crazy, because the short side always falls off. i would not recommend this product. - also the sound is not so good either.

The sound is great and audiologist say they wouldn't harm your ears like ordinary earbuds

2.0 out of 5 stars Hmm, not totally what I expected., May 27, 2009

Well, I just received them and I am wearing them now. I noticed when changing out the silicon part that the earbuds are cheaply made. The plastic casing is off kilter and annoying. Also it is annoying that the cord is clasped permanently in a spot where I don't want it clasped. It's clasped unevenly. I was also expecting the cord to be longer. The cord is pretty short, and I still have to deal with uncomfortable movement of positions while at work.

I guess I just have to get used to this set. I wasn't expecting it to be like this.

The two positives I will give are comfort and sound. The silicon feels better than the hard plastic earbuds I was using earlier today. I also hear a lot less background noise. That's a bonus at my fast paced, slightly noisy ad agency.

Revisited: I would not buy this set again. I'm not liking it. And for this price, it's not worth it.
