Whoever it leaves that this model as shown is the successor of the MDR-E818LP, is bitter disappointment. Poor sound without bass, also much too small and therefore do not hold in the ear. The price justifies here actually the (sound) quality. That may be fine even provided if one but better was not used by their predecessors in the same price region. A bad buy and even recommended as a "temporary substitute" rather then listen to music, as the favorite songs to disfigure with this sound quality.
