TDK EB 900 in-ear headphones

TDK's EB 900 headphones have an in-ear design with a foam tip that moulds itself to your ear canal, offering excellent passive noise cancellation. The...

Foam ear-tips block almost all outside noise, decent sound quality that responds well to equalisation

Unequalised sound can sound slightly flat and muffled, no clip for headphone cable

If you have an MP3 player capable of custom audio equalisation, TDK's EB 900 in-ear headphones come into their own. Passive noise cancellation is near-perfect when using the foam ear-tips, and even unequalised sound quality is acceptable. For the...

TDK EB900 High Fidelity (Black) review

I test a lot of earphones and headphones here at CNET, and often what I'll do is try out a review sample for a while and then pass the product on to get a second or third opinion from other editors or our resident audio guru Steve Guttenberg . I don't...

Good, clean sound; affordable; equipped with comfortable foam ear tips; protective carrying pouch included.

When the music is off, you can hear when the cloth covering on the cord rubs against your clothing; durability is a question mark.

Despite some small shortcomings, TDK's EB900 in-ear headphones sound as good--or better--than a lot of more-expensive competitors.

TDK EB-900 In-Ear Headphones

TDK EB900

The EB900 in-ear headphones by TDK give exceptional low-end sound performance that gives sustained, smooth bass that delivers punchy hits, especially when cranked up to high volume.

Good quality for cheap price; comfortable; strong bass quality

Bass drowns out treble; average quality at low volume

TDK EB900 Earphones

I remember a period of time in the 1990s when you couldn't walk into an electronics store without seeing the TDK name on a substantial portion of the merchandise – video and audio tapes, recording equipment, media playback devices – TDK had a hold on...

Light and comfortable; ships with Comply foam eartips; bass-heavy but generally competent sound

Loses out in balance, clarity, and detail to some of the competition; carries a good amount of cable noise

The TDK EB900 undoubtedly remains a nice option for lovers of deep and impactful bass but fans of more analytical sound may be disappointed with the hefty low end and lack of resolution. The earphones sound dark and a bit dry but quite full and convey...

Broke & no help

This is an updated review after trying to contact TDK for support for the pair I purchased. Bought these because they were on sale for a good price. After a few days use one ear stopped working and upon inspection found that the fabric wrapping the...

Decent sound, comfortable in the ear

Flimsey fabric cord wrapping frays easily and ruins headphones, customer service non-existent

Not bad...

The comfort of this set makes it worth the price, as they are very comfortable and i sometimes forget i even have them on. If your an audiophile though and looking for Great sound quality I suggest looking elsewhere. I give this set a 6 of 10 on sound...

These have got to be the most comfortable ear buds I have ever owned. I love the foam design. So much better than the standard rubber ear buds that normally come in a set. Very comfortable and they block out background noise very well

Sound Quality is OK. I was hoping for a little better sound quality but I guess I just got spoiled with my iLuv's and iBeats. I bought a set of iLuv's from newegg last year and the quality of those are far superior to this. This set has good bass, but...

Very Nice Headphone 5 EGGS!

These are far better than I imagined. wrapped cord, the nice snug ear design similar to a compression type foam earplug. Sounds very accurate, bass, cymbals have nice definition. I'm a headphone snob and they are up there in my top 3 ear buds ever

The Most Comfortable Earphones

I purchased these earphones to replace another brand which cost almost as much money as these TDK, but the other brand did not have great sound quality. I change the cushions to the smaller size and they are extremely comfortable. You will be very...
