Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the superb sound quality, deep bass, and comfortable fit of these earbud headphones. Many appreciate their lightweight design and reasonable price. A common suggestion is the addition of volume control on the cord. The tangle-free cord is also a frequently praised feature.

    I was looking for a pair of wired headphones with amazing sound quality. I usually listen to podcasts and audio books at work but on my commute, I want my music to be strong and solid. These work so well and I'm so glad they're in my budget range.

    These work and sound very good but, due to the weight and size they become uncomfortable for long use. Also the weight makes them fall out easily if you are moving around a lot. Sound is very good though.

    These are great! I use them at work to block noise from my coworkers. They don't totally block the sound, but they muffle it a lot! The sound is pretty good, but better if you push the buds into your ears further. Not quite as much bass as I though there would be, but the treble is great.

    If you're not looking to spend over 100 dollars on headphones, these are perfect. They're especially great if you like bass. Comfort for me was pretty good. One downside though is I don't believe the mic works too well on these headphones, still probably a lot better than most other headphones.

    They are amazing -- what would be even more amazing if you could get them for $19.95. Seem to hold up well and great bass at low audio settings. Work extremely well while jogging and using them with the cell phone. Great product!

    I must have tried 7-8 different earbuds until these ones satisfied my requirements. #1: do NOT fall out of my ears during work-out. Check! #2: have a crisp and clear sound. Check. #3: have a crisp and clear and LOUD bass. Check! #4: be made of high quality. Check! #5: do not produce "cable sound" while exercising or moving. Check! #6. Be very lightweight - not so much - the only negative. My previous Seinnheiser CX-475 satisfied ALL of those points, but, unfortunately died after 4 years of faithful use and have been discontinued. I cried. I cried some more. But, finally, found these SONY ones which I love, but just wish they were a bit lighter. GREAT sound and price otherwise.

    These are by far the headphones to beat in this price range. Solid bass and clear highs, these have a great range. Construction feels good too with sturdy aluminum casing and a thicker cable. These have brought back the joy of music I have been missing.

    Bought several pair of these earbuds. When a pair wears out, I always return. The enhanced bass sounds so much better through the buds than the enhanced speakers do. I found the speakers to be too muddy. It always helps to enhance the highs with the bass through an eq if you have one.

    I bought these earbuds because using Bluetooth can be a hassle and external headphones are bulky. I find that these earbuds provide reasonable sound quality for audible books and music while hiking or on an airplane.

    I absolutely love these headphones. I actually bought these as an onstage monitor. I play bass so I needed something that would put out... well bass! I recommend these to anyone willing to try something a little cheaper than the big names. You won't be disappointed.

    Great sound and isolation. They are a bit on the bulky side. Sound is definitely on the bass side which you might or might not like. I wish the sound was more bright and less boomy.

    Really Wanted to Like Them But They TOO Painful!

    I am a huge Sony fan so when my Sony earbuds broke the last week of October, I searched far and wide for a great pair of earbuds that were not only great in price but also great sounding! Read so many online interviews and looked at so many different earbuds. These Sony earbuds had great bass and the mic seemed to be very clear on a phone call but my ears would hurt even just after half an hour of listening to music! It wasn't the silicone earbuds and I tried switching them up. It was the plastic earbud itself that was causing the pain in my ears, probably due to the size. I really wanted to like them but ended up returning them because of the unbearable pain.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
