Advantages: fit snugly hence good bass frequencies

Disadvantages: none that I ca think of

Over the years I've spent a lot of money trying to find earbud headphones with a sound quality that compares at least a little to that of regular earcup headphones. Despite always buying expensive ones, I've always found that unless I hold the earbuds securely in place deep inside my ear with my fingers, then the sound is always quite tinny i.e. the bass frequencies are missing. Listening to classical music with tiny little earbuds is a definite no no.


The Sony MDR-AS50G earbud headphones seem to be the answer. They are very lightweight (only 15 grams) and are designed with a soft and flexible neckband. The neckband is designed to keep the headphones in place during active or sports use. However I discovered that the neckband also ensures that the earbuds are held securely inside the ears resulting in a snug fit. This in turn means that the sound is big and full because the snug fit results in you being able to hear the very important lower (bass) frequencies.

One possible drawback is that the neckband is not adjustable in terms of overall length so this could mean that some people may find them uncomfortable to wear.
