Reddit mentions of Sony MDRXB510AS/B Extra Bass Wired Headphones, Best Sports Headphones W/Mic IPX5 Stereo Sweatproof Earbuds Durable Comfortable Gym Running Workout, Black

Sony MDR510 , waterproof earbuds. I have been using these for over 4 years now and they are still going strong!
I have worn them every single day to the gym which is the most damaging environment to take an audio gear to imo!

I have pulled hard on the cable multiple times , dropped them , stepped on them and even accidentally washed them in a washing machine. No change in appearance or music quality. (I know I need to take better care of my audio care, trust me I'm trying )

They are a little bass heavy but not to the point where the highs get muffled . Even if you don't like this particular model, I would highly recommend Sony's waterproof range as they give you the most durable products for the price range while having a good sound signature.

Exactly my Sony's are about the same price and put out much better sound

I know nothing about headphones or their prices, but doing a quick check on Amazon yields the following prices of each item atm:



Product | Cost
---|---
WH1000XM2 | $348.00
SRS-XB2 | $49.99
MDR-XB510AS | $34.99
Total | $432.98



It's pretty obvious that if you were gunning for the headphones in the first place, this is a good deal as you'll get some extras on top of it for the same price.

I just grabbed these and they are great for the price. Best ear buds I've had in years

Sony Extra Bass (or XB). They work great for me. No mute or volume controls on it though. So keep that in mind. I’ll edit with a link shortly.

Weight for me is a big issue so thanks to clarifing this out, for this reason i'm not even using the VIVE DAS on pimax, and i've opted for earphones, i'm using this sony model https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRXB510AS-Headphones-Sweatproof-Comfortable/dp/B01MTEU4V9/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=MDR-XB510AS&qid=1572688667&sr=8-2 and sound is great, not even comparable to any other headphone/earphone/earbud i have, das or logitech G series you name it.

Also Pimax has a big problem that is the distance between your eyes and the lenses, it has to be perfect, if you are too near you will get distortions all over the borders (horrible tbh, was the first impact on first use with stock cover), while if you are too far you will get fisheye effect, btw there is a perfect spot where the edge distortion is unnoticeable and the fisheye is almost 0. as you can't move in/out the lenses like you do in vive you have to find the correct spot adding/removing covers. for my face i had to use 2x vrcover tiny + 1vr cover cotton made, see photo https://imgur.com/a/fO7gW2R.
This way view quality is great, i had to add some black tape on bottom as there is a big hole and the light comes in. Positive thing is also that as i am a regular beatsaber player i can wash almost everything easily when is wet.

I have to admit that PIMAX with the stock cover was very comfortable for my face, so the need to change cover was for quality reasons, not for comfort reasons, and with those covers is much less comfortable.

Maybe i just have to find another cover combination..
