Amazon.com Product Description:
Most noise-reducing headphones feature large over-the-head or behind-the-neck headbands, making them a bit bulky to use while traveling or working out. Not so the Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia headphones, whose ultra-light in-the-ear design sounds great while minimizing distracting ambient noise. The closed-type construction makes the headphones a perfect fit for airline, train, or bus travel, or while dancing or skating to your own tune. The phones owe their audio performance to the extra-small 9 mm drivers and neodymium magnets fitted inside each earpiece. The drivers and magnets combine to generate high-intensity sound, with a deeper-than-expected bass response (as low as 6 Hz) and refreshingly crisp mid- and high-range tones. Listeners will also welcome the two sizes of ear buds that come with the headphones, ensuring that users find the right match for their individual ear shapes. The soft silicone buds are also responsible for much of the noise reduction. Additional features include an oxygen-free copper cord that reduces noise and improves signal transfer, a gold-plated mini-plug that resists corrosion, a stylish neck chain cord, and a streamlined carrying case that easily slips into a shirt pocket.

BEWARE! Cords decompose! by Brian Roginski
Avoid these headphones at all costs, especially if you would buy these to listen with while you work out. Mine lasted for about a month and a half before the cord started decomposing. The material used is very poor, the white turns yellow and then disintegrates just through normal use. If you are considering these for working out, don’t buy them, they will not stay in your ears. That is assuming you sweat when you workout, these will slip out and just become more of an annoyance than anything.

Sony builds quality!!! by Pedro F. Urena
This are possibly the best headphones ever made. They are a combination of protection, best sound quality and confort. Hard to find these three on anything you buy. I waited a few months to rate this item as I believe a couple days even weeks is a short period of time to rate anything. I can honestly say this earphones rock = very dependable.

No complaints! by Gina M. Cloe
What is everyone complaining about? Having bought Sony Studio headphones for years (only replacing them because the cats got to them!) I bought these little guys the day I got my iPod. It took me only a couple of minutes to realize that the apple earbuds were junk, had terrible sound quality, and really sat uncomfortably in my ears.

I’ve had these headphones now for a few years and not a single problem! I got used to the cord extension ( and like that they can hang from my neck), the silicon is so comfortable I have slept in planes, trains, and automobiles with them in, and the sound is fabulous. I don’t have to blast my eardrums out to pretend I’m hearing good sound quality. Its there at every level.

GREAT BUY!

Good sound… breaking after 3 months! by Dave Mueller
I like these headphones… but the right side has begun to short out after just 3 months of use.

I will look elsewhere next time.
