Sony MDR-EX15LP
The 9mm neodymium drivers deliver balanced sound with a wide 8Hz-22kHz frequency range, while the 3g weight and hybrid silicone earbuds ensure a secure, comfortable fit for long listening sessions. The Y-type cord with slider prevents tangles, and the two-tone color options let you match your style. Best for budget-conscious listeners who want a reliable, lightweight wired pair for casual music on the go, not for calls.
