Sony MDR-EX14APB
The 9mm neodymium drivers cover an 8Hz-22kHz range, while the in-line microphone and multi-function button enable seamless call and music control for smartphones. The hybrid silicone earbuds in three sizes and barely-there lightweight design prioritize all-day comfort, and Android users get extra control via the Smart Key app. Best for budget-minded buyers who need a wired headset for clear phone calls and basic music playback on the go.
