Am impressed

Reviewed by Trikky2 on Argos
OK I am not really an audiophile but do appreciate value for money. They have a good frequency range, if you pay more you will find a better bass experience but they are in no way ' tinny '. If you want the deep thump it won't do that, it does not have the drivers or mass to give you that experience. What it does do is a nice balance so music sounds good and voice is nice and clear. I know this probably is not relevant to most, but I have a habit of falling asleep with music and my earphones in. I have destroyed so many earphones like that, including some that were a lot more expensive. So far these have survived :) What that means is, although the wires are thin, the strain wire relief is very well designed. Basically the wires are fixed well so won't pull out as I've had happen before. ... More
Great sound but delicate!
Sony MDR-EX15AP In-Ear Wired Headphones - Black
Reviewed by NJ on Argos
The sound quality on these earphones is very good for the price. The range of frequency response is exceptional in this price range. However, they aren't particularly durable. I've had a couple of sets in which the sound ends up only coming out of one earphone. If you look after them really carefully they are a good purchase but if you snag the cord a few too many times there is a risk you will be listening through one ear bud.
Nice price, nice performance
Sony MDR-EX15AP EX Monitor Headphones (Black)
Reviewed by James on B&H Photo Video
This is a basic ($15) set of ear buds with the imprimatur of SONY's mighty industry and history. I bought this set as a noise filter for the daily grind in New York City. The seal within the ear must be good for that to work, and fortunately, the largest size (included in the package) works quite well. There's a S,M,L assortment of latex buds in the packaging. The housing is small enough to fit in the external auditory canal, and that makes this a comfortable set to use with ear muffs. Basic control means you can use these with phone calls, though my last test indicated that there was very low mic impedance, resulting in pretty loud voice transmitting. You have to watch your voice level so as not to be distorted on the other end. As to sound, this set offers a very undramatic but very clear transmission of music. I recommend these for the price. Buy several pairs; they will last for a couple years of regular use. ... More
Price speific

Reviewed by Zobo on Argos
For the price these are what I'd expect. The cables are a bit flimsy and prone to tangling and the sound is a bit tinny - but they're at the cheap end of the range and pretty much what I expected. I lost my others and needed these in a rush for the gym and they deliver. They have a little control button on the cable which is useful and 3 different sized ear pieces so that's good. NB these are recommended for smartphones only, not other kinds of music players.

Headphones weren't as expected as they broke
Sony MDR-EX15AP In-Ear Wired Headphones - Black
Reviewed by Chewbretta on Argos
If I am being completely honest I bought the Sony headphones as they were quite cheap and looked very reasonable and a trusted brand. They were comfortable however, the sound in the left earpiece was broken within a week which the right side shortly followed a few days later. I haven't left a bad review because I have nothing against Argos however, I was fairly upset about the product which led to me buying a new pair of completely different headphones
Compact, inexpensive, durable

My go-to headphones for years and keep coming back for more. I tend not look after mine (chuck in bag, go over them with chair, loose them, etc) so not wiling to spend loads, but need a good sound quality. Good in-ear comfort and noise blocking (not too much to remain aware). Good for onference calls, out an dabout, wear with helmet, etc.
Great sound isolation

Reviewed by Zach M. on B&H Photo Video
These are great for the gym if you don't want to hear anything else. These headphones are a great way to stretch a dollar. For under $ bucks, they isolate sound extremely well - just as well as some of the $+ headphones I own. I bought them because I needed a good set that I also didn't have to care about on the run getting beat up or thrown around, on the ground etc. For less than $, it does everything it needs to, and well. It's an average three-star rating because there's nothing special about them - no in-line remote, volume control, noise cancellation - not because of dissatisfaction. If you have an expectation of what you want and what you need, you'll be extremely satisfied. ... More
Great Customer Service and Product Quality

So I brought my earphones a month ago. I walked into the store and a employee came up to me with a mask on. I really appreciated that due to covid regulation and even though I have my jab and booster and still high risk. They asked me what I was looking for and I said earphone. They showed me to tablet and showed me a the best earphone for the purpose I wanted them for. I ordered them and within 2 minutes they got me my earphones. The Sony earphones are really comfortable to wear and they have a mic that makes it easier to talk on the phone and pick up incoming calls. Also, the quality of the cable is firm and strong; so I don’t have to worry about it breaking. Overall the customer service was amazing and the product was of good quality. I will definitely shop there again ... More
Headphones broke after a week

Reviewed by 3jfidjdjs on Argos
I had been using them for about 6 days before it suddenly stopped working in one ear despite taking no damage. I wanted to return them and get a refund but they make it so hard to actually do that by only allowing returns at select stores that are no where near me, so I would be spending more money on the journey to the store that it wouldn't be worth the refund.

Very reliable earphones unlike those Bluetooth earbuds which are all terrible with their connections plus of course they need regular charging. I love the snug fit meaning they don't fall out of your ears at all! Best wired bud design I've ever come across. My only negative is the design of the jack, instead of the straight design, this one often comes loose from its connection when putting your device in and out of your pocket. The 2 single wires don't tangle which is essential but the main wire does but that's not a problem. Excellent sound quality! Also blocks out external sound due to snugness. Highly recommended but with my next purchase I'll be sure to check that it's a straight jack. ... More
Poor quality sound for a Sony product

Cheap price = cheap sound in this case. the tonal quality of these is very poor & reminds me of a cheap 1970's transistor radio. All treble with bass is almost non existent.
Not Fit for my Purpose.

I bought a set of these for use listening to Audiobooks but found that whenever the plug was touched, my book would stop, advance and on several occasions, Siri, would be engaged. I returned that set for a replacement and found the replacement set produced the same issue! To rule out issues with my iPod I borrowed my sons 99p Minion Headphones from Home Bargains and they were perfect! Needless to say, the second pair were returned.

Rubbish earphones
Sony MDR-EX15AP In-Ear Wired Headphones - White
Reviewed by Vicker on Argos
Bought these based on good reviews as a cheaper replacement for some apple earphones that I’d broken on a door handle. Thought these would be just as good but they’re not anywhere near the same quality. Sound is tinny, but worse is the loud rustling sound that comes through whenever the wires brush against anything. So whenever I move a millimetre and inadvertently touch the wire, there is a loud rustling drowning out the music that I’m trying to listen to. Awful! Completely unusable

Reviewed by L on Argos
I purchase these earphones primarily for use on the go, and to take hands free calls, knowing full well I'm not going to get the best earphones in the world for the asking price but I accept that fully. But I use these as workhorses to have on the go, not for exceptional audio quality. A few years ago I'd have given them 3 or 4 stars, and enjoyed using them. However, in recent years it seems build quality has declined as they seldom last 4-months before they break. This is not due to negligence or misuse, so such a brief period of use is rather frustrating. ... More
Good, simple headphones
Sony MDR-EX15AP In-Ear Wired Headphones - Black
Reviewed by Phantom88 on Argos
I bought it to replace my headphones I'm using with my work phone. I'm using quite regularly for calls, they work ok, the sound is clear, the mic works fine, people can hear me and they understand me. They fir my ears ok. The volume level could be bit higher though. Previous set had higher volume level, with these I need to keep the volume level in phone on max, so it's not great if I would need to increase it due to poor connection etc. I'm not suing it for music so will not comment on such use.
