Amazon.com Product Description
Most noise-reducing headphones feature large over-the-head or behind-the-neck headbands, making them a bit bulky to use while traveling or working out. Not so the Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia headphones, whose ultra-light in-the-ear design sounds great while minimizing distracting ambient noise. The closed-type construction makes the headphones a perfect fit for airline, train, or bus travel, or while dancing or skating to your own tune. The phones owe their audio performance to the extra-small 9 mm drivers and neodymium magnets fitted inside each earpiece. The drivers and magnets combine to generate high-intensity sound, with a deeper-than-expected bass response (as low as 6 Hz) and refreshingly crisp mid- and high-range tones. Listeners will also welcome the two sizes of ear buds that come with the headphones, ensuring that users find the right match for their individual ear shapes. The soft silicone buds are also responsible for much of the noise reduction. Additional features include an oxygen-free copper cord that reduces noise and improves signal transfer, a gold-plated mini-plug that resists corrosion, a stylish neck chain cord, and a streamlined carrying case that easily slips into a shirt pocket.

What's in the Box
MDR-EX51LP headphones, two sizes of ear buds, carrying case, user's manual.

3 out of 5 stars Comfortable but don't stay put   September 8, 2008
I bought these after trying a friend's, because the earphones that came with my iPod hurt my ears. These are really comfortable and stay in until I start to sweat. After about 30 min of cardio exercise, (running or elliptical) they begin falling out. I have to keep stopping, wiping my ears, wiping the little rubber thingy, and jamming them back in.

I've tried all 3 different earpieces that it comes with and this didn't alleviate the problem.

Bummer, because they are comfy. Also, sound is not as good as the iPod earphones. Bass is lacking. Ordering a new pair today that clips to the ear. Will see how they are.



1 out of 5 stars So-so Phones   September 2, 2008
These are supposedly "Noise Cancelling" earphones but they achieve this only with extra padding around the earpiece which create a very tight fit in the ear. You can get used to the fit but the sound is a bit tinny and not worth the ear discomfort. I would save my money here and go for the real thing next time.


5 out of 5 stars Bravo, Sony !!   August 15, 2008
Absolutely the best ear buds I have used. Over the five years I have had my iPod, I had 20 different pair of buds. I bought the very expensive Koss as well. These Sonys are by far, by far the best ones yet. They are extremely comfortable, and the fit is perfect. Not to mention the unbelievable sound. Bass is rich and deep, and the treble isn't tinny, but gives the music a terrific presence. I listen to everything from doo-wop to popular to classic rock, and all comes through with clarity and dimension. Bravo, Sony!!


5 out of 5 stars Best Buds Ever!   August 15, 2008
By far the best earbuds I've used. They are far more comfortable than Apple's earbuds and the sound quality is fantastic! When I first used them, I thought I heard someone behind me getting an email chime, but low and behold it was me!


3 out of 5 stars I would have loved them if they worked properly   August 10, 2008

Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones, White

I would have loved these except only one ear bud worked. I was flying from Boston to North Carolina with stops only to find out only one ear worked. I already owned black ones and one ear pooped out with that pair. I have returned the new ones and am hoping for a new pair soon. I like the product because I have small ears and the different size buds are great for me. Plus the price at Amazon is great. I can't wait to receive them. Hope they come soon. Tired of listening on one side.
