Looking for a pair of headphones with iPhone connectivity? Consider the Sony MDR-EX40LP, which are adjustable for a good fit, repel water, and looked good as new after we dropped them several times. Although the headphones' sound quality received...

Sony Earbuds

 

My daughter uses them for school and she loves them. The earbuds sound is very clear. A very nice product for the price range they are in.

Solid Sound & Design

 

This item was purchased in desperation since the Sony EX Stereo phones I purchased 1 1/2 years ago were discontinued. The sound is not as high-quality as the previous phones, and the angled buds are not as small as previous. However, the angled design...

Please don't under estimate...

 

I was looking at much higher priced ear buds and I asked for assistance from the sales associate and she recommended these. I must admit I am in love!!! They sound very nice to be small. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. Maybe one day I...

Earbuds that FIT!

 

Great for those of us with "shallower" ear canals! Others can be painful after a short amount of time, but these are smaller by design, and therefore are MUCH more comfortable! One size smaller would be even better!
