SONY Sealed Inner Ear Receiver XBA-C10IP/W White (Japan Import)

These sound great. I'm not an audiophile but enjoy all types of music. I now have 6 different sealed and non-sealed ear-buds including the ones that come with the iPhone and of them all these definitely sound the clearest. I like the inline controls and microphone too. This is the most I've spent for any of the ear-buds that I've purchased so far and definitely worth the extra money. I'm saving these for my music listening and using the other for everyday podcast listening to minimize wear and tear. Sony has discontinued selling this model in the U.S. so the sources on Amazon.com see to be your only option at this time. The design is slim and doesn't protrude from you ears very much at all. Also, the shape of the ear-buds have a small wedge or triangle on the side. I'm not sure what the purpose of this design feature is, but it makes it easy to tell which ear-bud is the right and which is the left (in the dark) by feeling the shape of the earpiece. On some of my other ear-buds this was an issue and I had to put a small physical dimple or bump on the right ear-bud in order to tell them apart in low light conditions. The XBA-C10IP Sony's don't have this issue. Anyway, I'm very pleased with my new ear-buds and hope they last for many years.

The audio on these is crisp and clear (very very detailed - it will surprise you the clarity across all frequencies).I mostly use them for flying. They are not noise canceling but do quiet things down and can be worn without any audio playing.The nice part is they fit in the ear and don't stick out from the ear at all so they are discreet and pillows don't push them around. They do come with multiple ear pieces for a best fit so you can get as comfortable as possible. Personally I have never worn an all day comfortable in ear phone but for a movie or two they go unnoticed once the audio starts.To make these perfect would be to put a mic on them for calls but for music and movies they get the job done.The volume and pause button on the left cord is just a bonus. It's hard to go back to other earphones (or even TV) after these because everything sounds fantastic.

I use a lot of earbuds. I talk on the phone all the time and need a pair in my pocket. Out of several I've tried these are the best.They're durable - one pair lasted me almost a year with no signs of being worn. EVERY OTHER brand near this price point has fallen apart.They wrap up well - a few wraps around my finger and a quick tie-off and they stay untangled. This is huge!They sound great - I almost prefer them to Bose. Even sound, good, but not overpowering bass.Affordable enough - I'm not terrified to carry them everyday and lose them.

If you are coming here via the wirecutter, don't believe the hype. These are worse than the earbuds that came with my iphone. I sent them back. The fit is fine, the mic works etc, but the sound quality is really not good. Bass is distorted and any bodily movement is picked up in the wires and transmitted into the ears as vibrational noise. I tried messing with the EQ in itunes and on my phone to see if I could make things better and I just couldnt. I had some twenty dollar skullcandy in-ear phones from target that were way better than these, but didnt have a mic.

THE best affordable earbud.Soundstage, bass, treble, fit ... all 99% perfect for me.Thought I wouldn't like the the little triangle thingie, but it seems to assist indsertinon and maintaining alignment.The first one was so good I bought another for backup :)

pretty good sound for the money,but a little low on bass.

yeah....it is just OK...the product feels cheap bc of ...its material? the sound is ok...

Fantastic! They sound great (though bass heads should look elsewhere) and are very comfortable to wear. With the addition of some Comply tips, they block out just about everything.

Exactly as expected, balanced armature with good bass.

音質の面から、長らくアップルのBA型を愛用していましたが、紛失してしまい、リーズナブルなBA型を探した結果、リモコンマイクもついているこちらの購入に至りました。アイフォン付属のイヤホンは音質的に使い物になりません。音の分解能は旧アップルのものに若干及びませんが、音のバランスが良く低音の不足感もありません（低音はイヤーパッドに大きく影響を受けるので適性サイズやタイプを見極める必要あり）。カナル型であることも重要で、飛行機に乗った際に配布されるヘッドホンより、このタイプのイヤホンを使った方がはるかに音がよく、意外と大きなエンジン音もシャットダウンできますので、より小音量で映画が楽しめ、絶対耳にもいいはずです。通勤時の電車の中でも環境音がほぼシャットアウトされ、大音量で聴いても音漏れしないので安心です。やはり大編成のクラシックやアコースティックなジャズは、大音量で聴いてこそ真価が発揮されます。小編成のクラッシックを中小音量で聴く場合の繊細さもBA型ならではです。もっとお金を出せば更にいいものが買えるのでしょうが、この値段でこの性能ならば十分満足です。

これまでAmazonの人気商品であるPanasonicのRP-HJE150を愛用していましたが、断線してしまったので今回は試しに3000円前後のイヤホンに手を出してみようと思い購入しました。これまでリモコンが付いているイヤホンを使った事無がなかったのですが、かなり便利に使用させてもらっています。音質もこれまで使っていたRP-HJE150よりも圧倒的にクリアでベールが2枚も3枚も剥がれたような高音質だったのですが、イマイチなポイントを言えばもう少し低音を頑張って欲しかったなという印象でした。曲によってはRP-HJE150よりも物足りないなと思うものもありました。ケーブルに関しては絡みにくいセレーションコードの恩恵もあって取り回しは非常に満足しています。

安定の高音質で愛用しており、何代目かなってくらい使ってます。コードが絡みにくく、ほどくために負荷をかけるような事がないので断線事故なども防げているからか、製品寿命長く使えます。リモコン操作の使用感は普通…一番負荷がかかるのはココかと。メーカー価格基準に考えるとこの価格帯では優秀な音質も魅力で、ワイヤレスが台頭するなかでも自身を持ってオススメできる１品。

耳にしっかりフィットして、とても使い心地がいいです。音は重低音は弱めですが、個人的には不満のないバランスです。音質は値段通りだと感じました。私は長時間不快なく着用できる点が重要なので期待通りです。
