Sony MDR-EX81 Earphones

Amazing musical fidelity and reproduction. Great isolation that can in turn save your hearing through lower volume levels

Bass can feel somewhat lacking. Uncomfortable. May require custom earmolds for some. Expensive ($330)

Great sound quality, low background noise

Extension cord too long, headphone cord too short, expensive
