Our take on the Sony MDR-EX15AP Monitor In-Ear Headphones

The Sony MDR-EX15AP is a wired in-ear headphone with a 9 mm dynamic driver, an in-line microphone and remote, and a 1.2 m serrated cord. It is a budget everyday pair for calls, podcasts and music on a phone with a 3.5 mm jack. Its 16 ohm impedance and 100 dB/mW sensitivity make it easy to drive from a phone. Against rivals it trades build quality for a low-cost, lightweight design, and owners report one earbud often fails after a few months.
