Amazon.com Product Description: These super-light, ear-bud headphones weigh a mere six grams (.18 ounces.) They are the perfect headphone for those who relish lightweight, quality headphones. The silent cap confines the music to the listener's ear and away from those in the immediate area, a plus for those using the headphones in the coffee shop or library. The earphones are also open-air, meaning they allow ambient noises to enter the ear; this translates to a safer headphones, as the listener will be aware of horns, whistles and shouts. The MDR-E828LP's deliver a quality sound, even with their small size. The headphones use sixteen millimeter drive units for a deep bass and clear treble. Sony also uses neodymium magnets which provide more energy per ounce than other conventional magnets. The PET diaphragm gives the headphones a high rigidity for minimum distortion.

The cord is one meter long (3.3 feet) for ample range of movement. The housing is a modern, hi-tech, black and silver metallic finish. What's in the Box Sony MDR-E828LP headphones Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Durable, reliable, good sound quality This is the second pair of these that I've had and both are great. I'm probably not what you would consider an audiophile, but I do enjoy my share of good music and these little guys are terrific. I wear them virtually the entire time I'm at work (8+ hours a day) and they are fantastically comfortable. I don't use the little foam covers that came with them since they have a tendency to fall off and get lost anyway (in my experience) but they are still easy on the ears. The sound is surprisingly good for the price point and everything seems to be faithfully reproduced (high, mid-tones, bass). I use these with my phone, various MP3 players, and my laptop at work and the sound is consistently of the highest quality. Rating: - They look like earrings! Warning guys: these earphones are mostly a nice neutral gray with black wires, However, the part that hangs from your ear is a shiny metallic silver, and from even a short distance, you look like a guy with thick, droopy earrings. These just don't sound good enough to offset looking like a drag queen. Rating: - Best Headphones for this price range Pros: - Awesome sound quality - Cheap price - Solid Construction - Winding Case protects the headphones extending the life span greatly - Comfortable Cons: - A little loose fit in the ear Rating: - works good no complaints so far (owned ~2 months), I usually just use it at my desk, so can't say if it's extreamly rugged or not to take running or other conditions where the cord might get pulled on. Rating: - Not what I was execpting I was looking for a self retracting head phone. This is just a self wind, that does not work very well. see more
