amazon Sony MDR-AS41EX reviews
Sound quality, compact design optimized for mobile purposes are two noteworthy points of the Sony MDR-AS41EX headphones.
Also one of the new representatives of the headset line for sports activities, the Sony MDR-AS41EX is a lightweight design with a variety of youthful color options. In addition to the fresh yellow version available at Test Lab, the Sony MDR-AS41EX is available in three different versions, pink, black and blue.
The Sony MDR-AS41EX has a headphone design that inserts deep into the ear (earbud) with a rubber cushion that varies with the size of the ear canal. Although the earbud design is quite solid, the MDR-AS41EX is also favored by Sony to add soft rubber ear flaps to enhance the “grip” of the headset – very suitable for activities sports or outdoor use.
Within each ear, the MDR-AS41EX is a 9mm diameter speaker driver (loudspeaker) that supports a wide range of frequencies (from 9Hz to 23.000Hz) that delivers detailed sound at almost any volume level. The difference of MDR-AS41EX compared to some other handsets is the design of the main signal cable is only 0.6 m long. This design eliminates the cumbersomeness of the audio signal cable when combining headphones with mobile devices using a sports bracelet. Users also have the option of extending the cable with the supplied accessory to use the MDR-AS41EX with a laptop or desktop computer when needed. The Sony MDR-AS41EX is well-suited to sources that are equipped with a TRS (3.5mm) audio output.
Made from plastic, the Sony MDR-AS41EX weighs in at just over 18g (including an extension cable). This lightweight headset is also certified by the firm to withstand small rains when used outdoors or when users accidentally get water on the device.

From actual use, Test Lab is really comfortable with the compact design of the Sony MDR-AS41EX. Rubber ear pads and earrings can be replaced easily and come in many different sizes for the user to choose. In addition, the MDR-AS41EX’s Litz Cord cable (single core cable with multiple internal wires) is thin but relatively stable and less wiring. Headset enclosures and accessories are quite suitable for users who often have to move and also have the effect of not disturbing cables.
To make sure this headset works well and at the highest level of performance, Test Lab decides to “use” for about 8 hours with all the music available on the computer. Try connecting the Sony MDR-AS41EX to your desktop using the built-in ALC887 audio codec, Test Lab starts listening to 16-bit / 44KHz CD quality music with Foobar 2000 software (Version 1.0.3).
At 50% of the volume of the computer, the MDR-AS41EX delivers moderate volume, and the sound quality is clear and detailed. The tones of this headset are also smooth and natural when the Test Lab is listening to Vincent (Starry Starry Night) by Chloë Agnew or two of my favorite albums – Jheena Lodwick, Feelings Vol.2 – Jheena Lodwick . Trying to increase the volume of the computer up to 80%, the high strips on the MDR-AS41EX still gently fly and are not distorted when heard on the album Song Bird CD 1 – Kenny G. Even when the volume down At 25%, the strips of the MDR-AS41EX are fairly uniform, the bass in THX Jurassic Lunch (Major Bass) and Fell the Bass 4 are still quite warm and not overwhelmed by the remaining strips.
The Sony MDR-AS41EX sound does not change much as Test Lab connects headphones to some mobile devices like HTC Explorer, Apple iPhone 3GS and Sony Walkman NWZ-B173F. However, with these mobile devices, MDR-AS41EX has a relatively small volume, Test Lab usually set the source volume to play at 60% or more.
In general, the Sony MDR-AS41EX is designed for sports and outdoor use. The sound of this lightweight headset can also be quite high, the bass is full and easy to hear, and it fits in well with the lively young music genres.
