Product Specifications

Sony offers the MDR-ED268LP Groove Fontopia Stereo Headphones. Fontopia in-the-ear design fits snugly, yet comfortably inside the ear and eliminates the headband so you can enjoy music while exercising, skating or dancing. Soft rubber earpieces provide greater stability so they're far less likely to shift or fall out, greater wearing comfort thanks to the broader distribution of contact. Groove design/Bass Booster earpiece shape with better fit means less sound is lost and better bass response at the same sound pressure levels as conventional designs. It is perfect for Sony Walkman players with Groove bass control. Anti-bacterial earpiece material assures worry-free wearing. 16 mm Diameter Driver delivers deeper bass, extended treble and higher fidelity, yet remains small enough to fit inside your ear. Sapphire-evaporated diaphragm is amazingly strong, yet lightweight, for extended high frequency response, increased sensitivity. Sony Acoustic Twin Turbo Circuitry uses sound chamber and ducts for improved efficiency, gets high sonic output from your portable stereo. Neodymium magnet provides maximum energy in minimum size. Neodymium is far more powerful than conventional Samarium Cobalt or Aluminum magnets. Cord bushings on ear buds help prevent tangles, enhance durability. Gold-plated mini-plug allows for exceptional corrosion resistance, superb conductivity, low noise. Supplied carrying pouch neatly stores the ear-buds and headphone cord when not in use. It is ideal for carrying in a pocket or purse.
