Reviews of the Sony MDR-AS40EX Active Headphones
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Sony MDR-AS40EX earphones feature an excellent, fitness-friendly design; they're also comfortable and very reasonably priced. They come with a case, extender cable, and various ear fittings.
The Bad: The Sony MDR-AS40EX earphones suffer from mushy bass, and that's only if you can get the 'buds far enough in to hear the low end at all. Music sounds overly bright.
The Bottom Line: The Sony MDR-AS40EX earphones are a good choice for fitness fiends with limited cash to spend and a preference for an earclip design.
