Anyone with a qualitative successor to the truly great and unfortunately disappeared from the market Sony MDR-E 818 LP expects earphones here will experience an unpleasant surprise: "! Bass custom not I" sound technically somewhere between NoName-cheap headphones and settled, I forgive a pity point for the extremely compact size. Many people always whine yes in earphones that things supposedly too big for her ears were - that should not be a problem with as little product for as much money as here;) This was definitely my last Sony product. Too bad, this initially called MDR-E 818 LP were really top notch - the "successor", it is not!
