My old earbuds quit working. I traveled to the local Best Buy and replaced them with these earbuds. So far they work fine for me. I don't know that I would recommend them to just anyone off the street, but if a friend asked, I would say 'they work fine for me'.

Needed new earphones as the cheap skull candy ones I had were no longer working. Went into Best Buy looking to by Beats but ended up buying these instead. Very satisfied with my purchase so far. Purchased the extended warranty as well just in case!

Sound quality is just OK. Does a good job of blocking out noise, but makes it harder to hear yourself talk. So you might end up speaking too loud on phone calls. Was replacing apple ear buds. Sound quality is much better with Apple ear buds.

For lower-mid-price ear buds, these do the job just fine. Glad I got the extended warranty, though -- for all the advances in technology, I don't think we've invented wires that don't eventually short out.

My Bose headphones went kaput at the end of 2018. Went to store, found this Sony headphones marked down @19.99, went ahead and bought them. Quality audio is superb! Been using them non stop for 1.5 yrs and there isn't anything wrong with them so far.

A Cheap Beats Replacement

Very similar sound to Beats In- Ears- loud, deep bass, over the top highs. I could not find any mids nor clairity on the highs with volume over half on both iPod Classic or LG V30. I am a huge Sony fan but there were a big let down.

These are decent Earbuds, dont get me wrong, but after listening through them for over half a month, I had to return them. They hurt the inside of the ear canal, even with the snallest option they give for the rubber, and they advertise a better bass quality that is not apparent while listening.

Certainly bass heavy. Plenty of tips included to find a comfortable and secure fit. However, mid and high notes are muddy.

The sound in these earbuds is amazing. Extreme bass and clear sound overall. However they are very uncomfortable at least for my ear type. Just make sure you test them, and if they fit correctly you won't find anything better for this price range.

Wired Still the Best Option

For those of us who still have a wired option, these sony earbuds are comfortable, offer decent high and low response and a microphone which has a good sound quality (as reported from multiple people who have heard it on the other end). Not overpriced for the Sony quality.

I love these headphones. Very comfortable. Great sound. Plenty of low end (I'm a bass player, so that's important). I'm on my second set (accidentally stepped on my last set) and just bought my wife a set. She loves them as well.

They work for what I need them to but you can tell the difference between these and the Samsung pair I already own that came with my phone. Something about the Dolby audio just changes things.

Sony Extra Bass Buds rock

I have been buying these buds for a few years, now. Not because they wear out quickly, but because when they do wear out (or I lose a pair), these are the only ones that will do. Sony rocks

Nice sound. Work well - But I’m waiting for them to break like every other pair of headphones. I must say that Sony earbuds seem to last longer than any other brand I’ve tried. I’m pretty gentle with headphones too.
