Sony MDR-EX650AP Premium Wired Earphones with Brass Housing, Neodymium dynamic drivers, Smartphone Mic and Control - Black/Gold

These Sony earphones are overall really solid. Sound quality is nice, with a good amount of bass for the price, even if my ears aren’t the best. Build quality feels premium, they’ve lasted me a long time and I still actively use them every day. They do tend to tangle pretty easily, but the connection to my PC is flawless and they just feel comfortable to wear. Cable length is also nice and long what's always a nice plus. Honestly, I don’t have any major complaints; they’ve been reliable, sound great, and for the price, they’re definitely worth it. 8.5/10.

After ordering the Meta Quest 2, I was keen to quickly find high quality, spacious (so that sound, 'sounds' wide and open... e..g a scene in a film in a banquet hall; I want to sense that cutlery and chatter is all around me at varying distances). Naturally, having spent hundreds on the VR headset, I was particularly budget-conscious and my expectations were tempered -I had the 'visual' side but maybe wait until next year to go crazy on the 'audio' side. If I spent 'only' £50 and got some halfway decent sound I would have been content, although I expected little more. However, these are the Brass Bad Boys...the Sony MDR-EX650AP. Mysteriously luxurious looking yet priced around the £40 mark. The type of price you'd pay for lesser-known brands on high street retail shelves. I paid £37 I believe...so what are they? These headphones have an in-ear design and include silicone plugs in different sizes. Additionally, they also feature a built-in microphone. What is astounding is the fact that they are really made from massive brass. That's good for durability and provides slightly better protection against external noises. Sony applied a clear coat in order to maintain the shiny appearance of the metal. If it gets worn over time, you may have to polish the metal from time to time – the function should not be affected. The material truly becomes vintage as it visibly ages over time.. The earphones are very comfortable and well-balanced. The selection of materials for the cable is equally impressive. It has a subtly coarse texture and is coated with a pleasantly tactile plastic. The purpose of this combination is to prevent the transfer of cable noise to the headphones. Mission successful: you almost hear nothing besides your music. With Sony headphones, you won't have to worry about annoying cable rubbing noises on your jacket like you do with other headphones. Small details like that can hardly be advertised as major selling points, but when you take these factors into account, in total, they are in fact, major selling points... but only when the actual sound is on point. The sound is great on both ends. If you choose to use the MDR-EX650AP for listening to music, you will be amazed by the exceptional sound quality it offers within this price range. If you take telephone calls, you can hear yourself the exact right amount (crosstalk). Really though, had this product cost £100 more, it would still be worth the investment simply because the audio quality is spacious, the bass is forceful, and the highs are not overly shrill. For my intended Gaming and VR: amazing purchase...taking the price into account, perfect. 5/5.

Disclaimer: I'm not an audiophile. I had been researching in-ears for a while, in hopes of finding a comparable replacement for my MDR-EX310 in-ears, as one of the earbuds died Comparable in regards to sound quality and price. I was looking for something on a modest budget, about the same price as what my 310s were new (about $80 CDN), and to be honest, there really didn't seem to be much out there that provided the same quality product as the 310s. I wasn't concerned with noise cancellation, being wireless, or bluetooth capabilities (avoiding these features was more to do with staying within my budget than anything else). So I started looking into products from recent years, instead of the latest and greatest. That's when I came across the 650s. I believe they came out in '13 or '14. The reviews I read were very positive. They ticked all of my checkboxes, including price so I thought I'd give them a shot. They also looked similar to my 310s, and I had hoped that the fit would be similar. I can't get technical with this much so I'll just point out what I like in simplest terms: - build quality is quite nice. I like the cable. The brass housing. It's all pretty slick. And the weight is good. The brass housing gives them a solid feel. - the fit is great as the tips fit the same as my old 310s. However, none of the tips came with the same foam insert found in the tips that came with my 310s. I took the foam inserts out of my 310s and put them in the new tips of the 650s, and voila. They've very comfy; they fit snug and I get decent isolation. -this is where I'd like to get technical, but I can't - sound quality. I distinctly remember when I first put on my 310s I was blown away by the sound quality; the bass and clarity; for the money I spent. I was not blown away by the 650s. And maybe that's because they're so similar to my 310s, that I simply don't notice much of a difference, and so the first impression of the 650s isn't "WOW!" like it was for my 310s. That being said, and when I think about it more, this is ok. They still sound good. I'm not disappointed in the sound quality really; maybe the clarity isn't quite there. I like the balance; bass is good; mids are fine. I listen to a lot of metal, which in itself can be pretty muddy depending on the quality of the engineering of the music, and perhaps it's an unrealistic expectation to expect amazing clarity from ~$80 headphones. Based on all of the reviews I've read for in-ears in this price range, I do still strongly feel I made a good choice and will be happy with theses for a long time (hopefully)... - which leads to lastly, durability. I haven't had them long enough to be able to confidently give these 5 stars for durability. My 310s lasted about 6 years until one of the earbuds died. I'm hoping to get at least that much life out of the 650s. As mentioned, I really like the build quality. They appear to be a higher quality product from the jack, to the cable to the actual buds, than the 310s, and I hope that translates to a longer life. This is also why I can't give them an overall rating of 5 stars. They'd need to be able to stand the test of time first. Ratings are subjective anyway. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. I can't see how someone could go wrong with these at this price. You're getting build quality, snug fit (and isolation if you have foam inserts for the tips), and great sound for the money.

Audio quality is top notch, mids aren't lost in bass or ear splitting highs; both of which sound bright and easily defined. If you own a Sony Xperia, make sure you dial these in. I'd recommend making a little playlist - three songs, one bass heavy one high and the other mids, then find the sweet spot where all three sound good. Then you'll have a good listening experience with these, because they are brass housed, they don't reverberate in the same way as cheaper earphones so can sound funny if you're not used to them. These are heavy. They will make your ear hurt after a little while, it's an unavoidable factor of using brass. So use them in moderation to avoid discomfort. The cable is a good length, it also has a play/pause button that doubles as an answer/hang-up button; it's a hands-free compatible which is nice. They're pretty expensive on face value, their also expensive for a something that actually hurt you. But the audio quality is brilliant and they look really nice too.

Mid-bas dengesi ve farklı müzik tınıları için ses aralığı çok başarılı, vokalde keza öyle ancak bazen gereğinden fazla hissetirdiği oluyor. Genel olarak bakılırsa piyasadaki kaliteli kulaklıklardan.

These head iPhones are really good Great Sound.

Gewoon goede oortjes voor de prijs, gaan naar mijn ervaring ook erg lang mee. Veel langer dan oortjes in dezelfde prijsklasse.

The most terrible headphones I ever bought. No quality, white noise. I want my money back!

Alors j'ai longtemps hésité à prendre ces écouteurs. Mes anciens intra : des Bose Mie2i (iPhone), au bout d'un an le caoutchouc des cordons (extrêmement meuble) se déchire de partout, fils à nu, résultat du scotch d'électricien partout, une oreillette en moins, galère et horrible. En revanche ce sont les meilleurs que j'ai eu en terme de son. Concernant les Sony : - le prix : est imbattable c'est certain, ne cherchez pas ^^ - le son : la grosse frayeur lors de la première écoute, aucune basse à bas volume et très faible à volume moyen ! Il s'avère en réalité que le choix des embouts d'oreillette est primordial. Si vous n'êtes pas bien enveloppé, les basses "s'échappent" et vous procure un son très plat. Après le changement des embouts (lol) et plusieurs heures d'écoute (pop-rock), le spectre est légèrement grossi sur les aiguës et début de medium, ça n'est pas dérangeant honnêtement. Les basses sont très bonnes sans être envahissantes. A fort volume les aiguës auront tendances à être un peu criards (en cherchant la petite bête). Dans le genre Techno/House/Rap, les écouteurs réagissent bien, les aiguës cristallisent un peu. (les écouteurs surpassent effectivement certaines marques à 120€, pas des Bose par contre pour en avoir eu) - le confort : excellent rien à dire. - esthétique : excellente et discrète, les finitions sont très belles ! Je vous recommande ce produit ! Pour les mélomanes, je vous conseille des marques plus chères, vous serez potentiellement déçus par un rendu éloigné de la réalité mais à ce prix on ne peut pas le reprocher. Autres : - livré avec 4 paires d'oreillettes de taille différente - une housse souple en tissu très pratique et petite pour transporter vos écouteurs partout - un arceau en caoutchouc rigide de 3 cm de long pour réduire la longueur des écouteurs (en enroulant le fil autour) très pratique ! - commandes iPhone : 1 clic pause/décrocher/raccrocher, 2 clics piste suivante, 3 clics piste précédente, 1 clic long refuser appel
