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.

    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!

    Works fine - Apple earbuds still better

    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.

    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.

    Purchased these earbuds a few weeks ago and so far they have been excellent. The wiring seems thicker and more sturdy than the less expensive Sony earbuds I have used for years. They are great for use with my Roku remote.

    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

    Low quality bass and sound

    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.

    Wired Still the Best Option

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    For the price, these headphones are fine. Okay quality, and they definitely are well-built. They don't sound as great as I expected, but it's fine. They do the job!

    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.

    I have only been using these a week. They almost stop outside sound. I can now play music while doing other activities without disturbing other family members. Style is easy to use in your ears for a prolonged period of time.

    It has a good sound and good price for what you pay, but over time microphone gets bad. They won't hear ,but you will still.
