Sony MDR-E9LP/WICU
A hybrid driver system delivers deeper bass and clearer highs than typical drivers at this entry-level, all within a lightweight 20g build. The short 3.94-foot tangle-resistant cord and secure silicone earbuds make them a practical, inexpensive wired option. This is best for anyone needing a disposable backup pair for podcasts or casual listening where call quality is irrelevant.
