So here is my own Honest Review on Sony MDR-EX15LP/B In-Ear Earphone. Read and Comment your own experience with this Earphone
So just few days back I have received the little and subtle looking In ear earphone from Amazon. Its my first purchase from Amazon.in (not literally first, keep on reading) and to be honest, unlike you and other millions of buyers I am not impressed with their service. Okay I will tell you why later in this post. Well I brought this just because I am looking for a quality earphones in mid range and I have Rs.200 amazon gift card to spend (I recently received another one though, thinking of donation this time). I am pretty much impressed with this product. I have another product in range too Skull Candy JIB but just for one reason, that damn negative reviews I have to bounce back to EX15LP. I am not a "headphono-philic" or an expert in this area so starts with the build specifications first.
Note - I am not including personal pics this time due to more than one reason. The actual product is pretty much similar to the one in commercial images.
Build Specifications
The overall cord of this Sony MDR EX15LP seems to be the old Casio earphones (that one which cost Rs.15 - Rs.20 over 8-10 years ago, sturdy and reliable). Very light in weight, weight around 3g without the cord as it is mentioned. The upper cord comes with a hook just to prevent the cord from tangling. Traditional L shaped gold coated plug which is what I am looking for. Pair of very tiny earplugs comes with slippery silicone ear buds. Ear buds are little slippery so I have to replace it with my cheap and Chinese one. The left ear plug has a very tiny point mounted in the side in case you hard to find which one is left or right, impressive.

Amazon Service
Before commenting on their service I let you know that I belong to not-so-metro-city. The product comes as Amazon Fulfilled which make you think that service will be awesome. And that's wrong in case you don't belong to metro city. Okay I have ordered it at evening of 9th May, the non-shipping-charge-one takes 4 day longer to shipped so actually dispatch the item on 14, DTDC received the product at 20th May and delivered it at 25th May. So total of 15 days of waste. Packing is up to the mark in order to protect the item. Also they leave the shipping bill-slip with pack :3Oh yeah I have once ordered the Rs.50 OTG for one of my friend from Amaozn.in. They send it to through government courier service (India Post), after a whole month of package circling from one office to the other, they finally received the product at their own Fulfillment center. refund me after a month.
Conclusion
Afterall I am satisfied with the product. Atleast a quality product at Rs.262 for me. At that time it cost around Rs.462 with free shipping. Better and sturdier than my previous Nokia In Ear Earphone (that red color earphone which comes with Lumia smartphones).My rating - 4 star for build, 3 star for sound quality (low bass, boo), 4 star for price (quality product under Rs.500). And yes there is nothing like warranty in earphones, even though they mentioned it.
