Good set for IP calling, bad for music

 

Good set for IP calling, bad for music

I bought this thinking that it will be good for both Skype and music, considering Sony's reputation and prior experience (SONY MDR-E828). First, for internet phone calling, it is great. Clear voice on both ends. For music, it is terrible, and my >...

Great quality at this price

 

Great quality at this price

Better than my new JBuds J3 in bass. J3 is too heavy for my taste when working together with my creative X-Fi, but DR-EX230DP gives me a more balanced sound. The quality is outstanding considering its price (I bought it cheaper than J3).

Very good quality

 

Very good quality

I am so surprised by the high quality of the sound I've got on the mic. It is better than my USB mic.

Product works, but lacks quality

 

Product works, but lacks quality

Like I said it works, but sound distorts easily and the mic is not quite sensitive enough. It works well if you hold it right up to your mouth, but that's just a nuisance.

so far, so good

 

so far, so good

Cheap and sounds great

For those who travel and/or like "ear-bud" type headsets, this is a superb product. I got this to Skype while I was in Iraq and it works great. It came with a little travel case that fits perfectly in my computer bag too. For those travelers who...

light weight and comfortable

 

light weight and comfortable

Although I didn't give this product complete five stars, I still enjoy it and it works well for what I need it too. I use a desktop PC and don't always use external speakers, so these come in very handy and the added microphone is a nice addition as well.

Good quality, but bad packaging

 

Good quality, but bad packaging

The sound quality is exceptional. The biggest downside is that it is very difficult to get the headphones into the case. I planned to use this with a laptop computer, and I'm not looking forward to fighting with the case every day. When the cord is...

With three pairs of silicon ear buds of varying sizes, you can fit the size right for you

Plenty of grunt

Questionable build quality

The cable is 1.2 metres in length, which gives you plenty of flexibility, but we're not too sure about the build quality as the cable is a little on the thin side - great for keeping weight and size down, but less ideal for everyday use. Fortunately, a...
