Sony MDR-XB510AS Sports Extrabass Splashproof Sports In-Ear Headphones - Black

First of all. These are the best earpods you will ever get for the money, period. These were my replacement for my high end Bose airpods, and i must say, they are truly awesome for the low price, and a solid replacement.They respond amazingly to equalizer tweaking, since they can cover a lot of high and low frequences.A pair of really affordable earpods. They got a SUPER rich bass, and can reach a lot of the deeper frequences.They are NOT good for running, since the wire will brush against your clothes, and you will be able to hear that scraping static between the cord and your clothes, in your earpods. They should be used when lifting wights or sitting still.And yes, they can take a BEATING. I have dropped mine, hit them into stuff accidentally, squished them, sat on them and left them outside overnight. They work flawlessly as ever. They are STURDY.

I bought these headphones to go with my new Sony Walkman in 2020. The Walkman is a hi-res player - the NW-A55L. I'm a fan of good solid bass, and the Sony's are excellent for that. To be honest, for the money spent - around £25 to £30 for these is very good money. But I always had my eye on the Klipsch T5M's that have been winning many awards at What Hi-Fi for a few years now. I resisted buying the Klipsch earphones because I figured that there was no way that the 5mm Klipsch drivers could deliver bass like the 12mm drivers in the Sony's. Anyway, after being undecided for more than a year. I decided to plump for the Klipsch T5M's. They retail for around £70 to £80. But I got them for £60. I've got to say, but the Klipsch's BLOW AWAY the Sony's. Despite the drivers being so much smaller than the Sony's - bass is extremely strong and meaty. I reckon the bass is actually meatier! Not only that, but the general sound quality is a step up over the Sony's. The icing on the cake is the superb audio imagery and sound stage. It's on another level compared to the Sony's... and no massive earphones sticking out of your ears! If you love the Sony's - you will absolutely fall in love with the Klipsch's.

The sound and comfort are perfectly fine. However the length to which these earphones stick out of your ears just seems a pointless addition to the design which other sony earphones don't seem to have. I bought these to wear under my motorcycle helmet because my other earphones kept falling out, these new one stick in my ear excellently but they stick out of my ears so much I now cant get my helmet on over them, making what is otherwise a good product completely useless to me. Good sound and comfort but disappointed with poor design and practicality.If only they had made them like the standard MDREX110 design that Sony makes but with the arc supports added for security, they would have been perfect.

Here we have £70-£80 pounds worth of Sony in-ears that have a DEEP, musical and tight BASS, with a CRISP, clear and wide open treble, both seamlessly fused with a lovely transparent midrange that let's voices and guitars soar through a wide, and precise soundstage! These are as good as (if not alot better than) Sony's mdr-xb70ap's, which were the gold standard in midrange in-ears, and sold for £70 but are not available anymore! These play Drum & Bass incredibly, with the essence of every Sub-bass note presented with controlled power and musicality! These should cost £50 more, they're that good, with a wide open soundstage, fantastic timbre and musical texture, and the ability to handle transients with aplomb! What with being amazingly comfortable all day, with that DEEP, musical, tight BASS, and those crisp, high treble notes that have room to breathe in a wide open and accurate sound-stage, you really don't want to miss out on these! best deep-bass in-ears available at the moment. Buy them, love them, you won't regret it. Peace 🎧🙂👍

Product looks and sounds ok but this is the second pair I’ve had that have fallen apart. Keep in mind I do use these for work so if you only want to lightly use them they should be fine

I've been through many pairs of running headphones, but these are far and away the best pair I've owned.I was unsure about the size when they arrived, but they stay locked in the ear great.The sound quality is unmatched for me, and worth more than the asking price.They carried me through my first marathon, and when the inevitable happens I wont stop to buy another pair.

Once I'd selected the right size arch support and rubber bud ear piece these ear phones came into their own. However, I found that getting this correct is essential. All of the arched supports kept the earphones in place. However, until I fitted the largest the tangle proof ridged wires would rub against my winter coat and make a very loud grating sound; with was very off-putting if listening to quiet music. Although, as stated the problem was rectified. However, more important was selecting the correct ear bud size. I had initially experimented indoors and settled on the larges size. This was far from ideal in a outside locations and I believe could even lead to ear damage, if the correct bud selection was not undertake. I had found using the large bud size meant that I had little control over managing the degree of bass I was exposed to. This would alter from song to song and would be so excessive to make my ears ring, even at what I considered to be quite low volumes: this was true with differing music varieties, for the most part. One minute all would be fine, the next I was bombarded with massively reverberation bass. After a few days, I selected the mid size bud and all was fine. Between all types of music all sounded fine, with a little possible adjustment of bass from time to time to suit. Before, even lowering the bass greatly, would not necessarily resolve the 'bass bloat.

These give good sound quality but didnt sty in my ears when working out/running, despite being advertised as Sports Headphones. Would recommend Bose SoundSport over these (wired or wireless)
