MDREX155AP in-Ear Earbud Headphones/Headset with mic for Phone Call, Black (MDR-EX155AP/B)

These Sony MDREX155AP earbuds perform flawlessly with both my PS4 and PS5 controllers. I picked them up as a convenient alternative when I don’t want to fire up my full stereo setup or my high-impedance headphone amp. The audio quality is outstanding—I can’t fathom the complaints in some reviews, especially at this price point. They deliver crisp, impressive sound and even outperform my AirPods 4 in both playback and mic recording, which makes sense given the tech differences. It’s frustrating how Bluetooth standards have led to overpriced wireless options that suffer from audio compression and end up sounding mediocre. These wired buds hold their own against any of my Bluetooth earbuds or headphones—skipping the built-in amp and wireless receiver really elevates the clarity and fidelity. The microphone picks up voices sharply without any artificial noise reduction, and the silicone eartips do a solid job sealing out background sounds so distractions are minimal. They’re lighter than pretty much every wireless pair I’ve tried, and the included cable clip lets you tweak the cord length just right, avoiding those annoying snags that yank them out of your ears. The fit is spot-on and secure, and they’re way more compact than bulky wireless models. I honestly believe wired audio deserves a renaissance—it’s never truly gone away, but so many folks have forgotten the advantages it offers. These are an absolute steal for the money.

These are the ones to get. They aren't too expensive, but they sound great. These have a frequency range of 5Hz-24,000Hz. Other products make claims like " high-quality audio with a 20-20KHz range". Theoretically, that's the range of human hearing, but my ears can hear the difference. Here's why... The advertised range (e.g., 5 Hz - 40 kHz) indicates the frequencies the headphones can technically produce, but it doesn’t mean they reproduce them equally well. A "flat" response—consistent volume across all frequencies—is ideal for accuracy, but most headphones have peaks and dips. Reality: At the extremes (like 20 Hz or 20 kHz), the output might roll off—meaning the sound gets quieter or less accurate—rather than being as robust as in the mid-range (e.g., 1 kHz). For example, a headphone claiming 5 Hz might only produce a faint rumble at that level, not a clear tone. Also, I have an identical-looking pair of Sony ear buds that were slightly cheaper and they sound like crap by comparison, so you can't tell by looking at them. Finally, do not believe anyone that says that the range of these headphones can somehow damage your ears. There’s no specific frequency above or below which sound inherently damages ears—whether it’s infrasound (below 20 Hz) or ultrasound (above 20 kHz)—unless it’s delivered at a high enough sound pressure level (SPL), measured in decibels (dB). In other words, you're setting the volume is to loud. So, I have bought these numerous times. I keep coming back to them even though I also have expensive Apple Airpods, because they are relatively inexpensive, comfortable, sound great and don't need to be charged. The only negative is they aren't the best for talking on the phone or using for my work meetings. For meetings with Microsoft Teams I use another pair of headphones with a microphone that's designed to be closer to the mouth for phone calls. But in a pinch they will work for phone calls and meetings. Just don't expect them to have the best quality with the microphone.

These in-ear Sony earbuds are a great choice for anyone looking for a decent pair of earbuds. They come with a small rubber piece that you can wrap the excess cable around, a microphone, as well as a button to pause/play media. They come with extra tips that are sized differently. Sounds are great, the bass isn't overdone, the mids and highs come through nice and they feel great in the ear. A great option for travel, exercising, or just looking to kick back and enjoy some tunes or a podcast.

-I believe these are considered Sony's best (wired) earbuds, and they deliver pristine highs and deep lows. The key however, is to tryout the 4 different sizes of rubber inserts. If they are not snug enough, the sound will actually sound tinny and thin. If they're too big, the sound could be somewhat dark and too bassy. I have average ear (canals) and went with the second largest size, which gave a balanced, full range sound. -Yes, the wires can get tangled, but I'll deal with that if I can avoid having to ever charge the things. Actually, if you have experience wrapping live sound or studio cables, you can wrap these earbuds in a similar (albeit miniaturized) way such that they're ready to use in an instant.

Nice product..Bought 2nd time..

Good quality in ear earphones; however disappointed at lack of remote features , no volume adjustment; have to manually adjust volume on phone.

Los he usado poco pero ya saben que la marca Sony es una garantía y puedo decirles que es un muy buen producto.

Good for the price, don’t expect much

Not only is the volume output significantly lower compared to other Sony earphones in a similar price range, it emits a very high frequency that is damaging to the ears. I exchanged my first order for the exact same product, and found the replacement piece to have the exact same issues. So I know that it wasn't just a one-off defective piece, the product itself is bad. Please DO NOT BUY if you wish to PROTECT YOUR EARS
