Customer Reviews of Sony In-Ear Headphones (MDRED228LP)

Not That Good
I bought these based on the reviews on Amazon. I have to admit to being a bit disappointed. While these earphones are fairly good (better that most stock earbuds) they did not match what people have been saying about them. I found the mid and upper ranges to a bit cold and flat. They were clear, but lacked some dynamics. The bass is almost non-existent. I thought that from these reviews that I'd be wowed. I wasn't.

Don't believe everything you read, try them first. These earbuds are okay, but not of the quality I was hoping for.

Exceptional Quality!!!
Over 6 years ago when I first heard these... I knew these would be the last pair of earphones I would ever buy. I was shocked they still carried these through Amazon, I've repurchased a new set, along with an additional 2nd and 3rd (I've been through many in the past). I've gone through tons of other earbuds and headphones, but none of them come close to matching the clarity and quality these produce. What I particularly like about these compared to others, is that the design is made to go partly down the ear canal making the sound more crisp and defined. The dynamic range is exceptionally wide, and sensitivity is excellent (if you particularly like music at high volumes, these do the job).

One word of caution, never walk through a metal detector listening to these (the ones you find like at Circuit City). It cost me about 4 pairs over the years.

Amazing, cheap, comfortable ear-buds
I was looking for some comfortable, inexpensive ear-buds to use when traveling and picked up a pair of these Sony's. I was just blown away! I usually listen at home via a Headroom Cosmic amp and Senn HD600 headphones, or over an audiophile system with Mark Levinson, Bryston, Wilson and B&W components. I have tried Etymotic ear buds, even with custom earmolds, and just don't like the sound balance and imaging. These cheap Sony's are so close to the balance and imaging of my Senn HD600's that I am amazed. Yes given a choice, I'll use the Senn's. But for travel, man are these buds awesome! Give yourself a treat and try a pair.
