Sony MDRXB21EXB In-Ear Headphones (103 dB, 100 mW) (Electronics)

Customer Review

First of all is to say that these headphones are my first in-ear headphones.

I had decided on the Sony, because they were very good (even outside of Amazon) and the price was very good / is.
When I then (after the Amazon usual low delivery time) was finally able to take my new headphones in reception and test for the first time, I was really excited:
Excellent sound and in bass and high tones (at least I feel that as a layman so) and they fit perfectly at once (as I may have been lucky, but there are 4 different sizes).
What I also noticed positive at the beginning, the very flexible plug or the cable on that, which I was not accustomed to my old listeners was (I will get back later).

The very next day it was time to extensive testing already in the fitness center.
The sound without nachzuhelfen clearly as before and a perfect fit, but since these unloved noise, before whom I was already warned already in the local reviews were suddenly:
rubbing the cable to clothing etc. transfers substantially to the plugs. But that did not matter, because on the one hand, the cable can be attached with the supplied clip or to hide the noise (as in my case, because I had not really understood the workings of the clip due to lack of instructions) simply. At the noise I got used quickly and the rest of the training ran without incident.
Balance of the day: I have very good and cheap in-ears acquired, who also provide regular in-ear Wehchen (the cable noise).
So far so good ....

At least until the next visit to the fitness center two days later:
because as soon as the earphones were placed and the music going it started to crack and the sound in the left ear broke from time to time short. After some Rumgetaste on cable, I realized that was probably formed on the flexible body at the connector loose contact and ... well, that was for me back to the good piece.

I still believe that I just had bad luck and a Monday model've caught. But Here I must confess that I have probably all made worse because I have the cables wound (especially thanks to the flexible connector) always close to my iPod nano (but what had caused problems with any of my old headphones).

So all in all:
+ Price
+ Sound quality
+ Equipment (clip and 4 different. Attachments)
+/- Flexible connector (Attention: breaking point!)
-Kabelgeräusche (Normal in-ear, but it's quieter)

I now use the Philips SHE9000 and am fully satisfied, as they offer the same sound quality with better processing and minimum cable noise, at almost the same price.
Also, I now have the wrapping my iPod to the cable set for security reasons, one learns from his mistakes ^^.
