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 love these buds, even though I have wireless ones that cost more. These have excellent sound and work well with my iPhone.

These earphones work very well. The sound quality is outstanding, considering their less expensive pprice tag. I took off one start because there isn't a volume control on the earbuds.

Solid earbuds, not all that comfortable

Earbuds are a personal experience--everyone's is different. For me, the earbuds don't fit comfortably for extended listening (over 45 minutes, so the end of the exercise is cutting it close). That said, the sound is pretty good, especially for a sub $50 earbud. Even better if you can get it on sale, you have strong bass support (as you would expect from Sony). Not quite noise cancelling, but close enough. The comparison is close to Klipsch (sorry for the spelling), with the slight edge to Klipsch, but for a much cheaper price. Still, a good product--just my ears aren't always happy when I'm done.

Decent quality, but there are better options.

As advertised, these earbuds have abundant low end, but they lack balance across all frequencies. The highs are a little muted and the mids feel slightly saturated. Bottom line, they aren't obnoxious but they also aren't worth spending top money. If they show up on sale for $19 or $25, they're worth it. If they're full retail, save you're money for something with a little more clarity. By the way, the flat cord is a a nice touch. Feels more sturdy. Also, I swapped the standard silicone cushions for a pair of memory foam and the noise isolation improved dramatically.

I bought these on what seemed like a decent sale price, however, I think they are also older stock at this point because when I went to a Sony website/app listed in the directions, these were not on the listing, a different model was. That is probably the only negative thing I can say. They fit my ears. The sound is very rich. The noise canceling feature blocks out enough ambient noise for me and then makes the sound quality as rich as it is. I like the design.
I use them with a Samsung S10.

I bought these for my teenage son who goes through earbuds like water. As a mid-level earbud, they sound amazing and at a $40 price point, I think he will be more careful about not losing or ruining them. I tired them for a while and they are comfortable and deliver deep bass for their size when worn correctly. They do have to be a little deeper in your ear to get that deep bass than I am comfortable with but he has not complained about them once since we purchased them.

I don't think you can find a better pair of earbuds for the money. I opted for plug in/wired ear buds for my laptop to make sure they didn't get lost, and having yet another device to charge did not appeal to me. They have great sound, surprisingly good bass, and do a good job of cancelling out background noise thanks to the soft but snug fit. I watch a lot of videos and listen to music at night on my laptop, and these have been perfect. Five stars all the way.

This style of earphone (flexible / in - ear, lightweight) is inherently fragile. No matter what brand you buy or how much you pay, they all become a casualty of carelessness or ordinary wear and tear, rendering them useless. Try these for decent sound quality at a price that won't make you cry WHEN you damage or lose them.
People make a big deal over the newer "designer" brands but i.m.h.o. none of them are any better than the work of the sound experts at Sony, Bose, or BLAUPUNKT. High prices and popular celebrity names do not necessarily = high quality ANYTHING.

I prefer large, external headphones. But these are quite good. Plenty of bass, mid, and just enough treble. Good definition and separation. Most important, they offer some protection against a wide range of potentially disruptive noise and buzz. They are of great value on a subway train. They are of great value on Apple cellular products. Especially if one listens to music on Amazon's app, which doesn't benefit from any in-OS equalization. A bit pricey; if you see them on sale, go for it.

I wear headphones while I walk my dog, mow the lawn, and pretty much whenever I am moving around. These headphones have been great so far, the ear buds stay in very well (MUCH better than any I've owned before) and when they are pulled out accidentally when the cord snags on something, I've never had to go searching for the ear bud cover. I've been through about 5 sets of headphones in the past year or two, and these are so far seem the most durable with quality sound.

Very good earphones. The bass they provide is very enjoyable. The only issue I had was they can kinda hurt your ears if you don't put the right size earbuds on. I wish they had some type of volume control like the old song earphones had back in the days.

The quality of music is outstanding when I used the Sony Earbud and it block the surrounding noise. I can just relax when I listen to my music now due to the new Sony earbud that I bought at Best Buy.

Bought these for a long plane ride across the ocean and to replace an aging set I had. The sound quality and Bass from these is impressive. The default set of ear Fels fit perfectly, but it came with 2 other sizes just in case. Had a nice little holder too. The cord type is flat and wide reducing the tangling aspect. I really like these. I was reluctant on the price, but it was definitely worth it.

The bass is very boomy. I like that everyonce in awhile but when it comes to listening to rock it drowns everything out. Well except for the super highs. I think my skull candy Titans sound way better and they were cheaper.

These headphones have better construction than others I have purchased. With the set of 3 earbud sizes included, they are simple to fit and they stay in place, although I do not use them during any non-stationary activities. I use them connected to my receiver, my phone, my tablet, and laptop. A good, solid connection to all devices, and the sound produces a much richer bass quality than all others in this price range. A very good purchase.
