These Xtra bass in ear earbuds sound really good.
Cost vs value....buy when on sale for under $40 if possible.
Pros.
Great sound reproduction. Crisp highs and excellent bass. Not overwhelmed with bass. An EQ on your listening device will help tremendously to get sound setup to your liking. Has an answer button for incoming and ending calls. This single button also skips to next sound track. Pretty comfortable when in ear for long periods of time. They don't hurt at all after hours of use.
Cons...
There is no volume control on earbuds anywhere...just the single, multi function button for answering/ending calls and skipping songs. The in ear earbuds are not universal fit....meaning one is labeled left and one is labeled right. They will hurt your ears and eventually pop out if in the incorrect ear.
The cable picks up any type of rubbing or movement on say a jacket collar and will emit a loud almost static noise when cable brushes up against something.
After about 4 months of use the built in mic, on same area as the mulifunction button, has stopped working so I can't use to talk on my cell phone. So when I am listening to Pandora on my cell phone with these earbuds and I get a phone call I have to remove an earbud, unplug cord from phone and finally answer the call. Sucks really. But these have lasted quite sometime. We all know in ear earbuds always break. That's why $100 earbuds make no sense.
I WILL BUY THESE AGAIN as soon as I can no longer listen to music and they finally give out fully. Normally, with other brands of earbuds I've tried, one side quits working or I get an annoying static sound through speakers as one side cuts out. Not with these. These Sony earbuds are quite durable actually.
I recommend to buy 100%.

I personally think these headphones are great! The bass on these went beyond my expectations. They fit well for my ears, but they do have different sized buds to adjust to the individual. The sound overall is superb and block out noise well without having to turn up the sound very much. I've owned a previous pair for a couple years now and decided to purchase other colors. The price is definitely cheaper than when I first purchased these so that's a plus. I bought these for other family members because they enjoy them as well.

I made the mistake of leaving these headphones in my shirt pocket and they went through a full wash and dryer cycle... And they still work perfectly! Aside from minor color chipping on the earpiece and the Sony logo wearing off a bit, there's no lasting issue. They still sound as good as ever and the controls work.
These headphones look good and produce good sound for the low price. They're also not uncomfortable. At first look, I thought they might be too heavy and fall out of my ears, but they're perfect and stay in place. The cord isn't flat enough to prevent knots in the cable, but it's not too bad. It's also nice that Sony offers these headphones in multiple colors.

I have been using these Sony extra bass ear buds now for several months, and l am very pleased with their fit in the ear and the crisp deep bass that they produce. I was given a set of Bose ear buds as a gift, twice as expensive, and replaced them with the Sony because of their amazing sound.

HAD A $230.00 HEADSET THAT I RETURNED AND BOUGHT THESE EAR BUDS. WHAT A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. EXTRA BASS IS INCREDIBLE EVEN AT FULL VOLUME. NO DISTORTION, THEY BLOCK ALL OUTSIDE NOISE. LIGHTWEIGHT, EASILY MANAGED, VERY COMFORTABLE TO WEAR. THEY WOULD KILL FOR THESE IN PRISON. A SHAME THEY DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE FEATURES OF THE HEADPHONES SUCH AS PREVIOUS SONG, NEXT SONG AND VOLUME CONTROL ALL ON THE WIRING. MAYBE SOMEONE OUGHT TO PRODUCE THOSE FEATURES ON THE SAME EARBUDS

I was looking for some earbuds to use with a gaming laptop, and didn't want to invest a lot of money in them. (I'm pretty picky about sound quality in general, but I've found you can usually get away with a little bit cheaper of speakers or headphones if you're only listening to digitally generated music and speech in games. Having enough bass to reproduce explosions accurately is still important though.)
Best Bay had these on sale for under $40, which was the price range I had in mind, and I trusted the Sony brand to be at least respectable in build and sound quality, so I gave them a try.
I was pleasantly surprised to find they not only met my expectations, but actually seem to have pretty well balanced sound. (The "Extra Bass" branding on them concerned me because I didn't want to buy something that was bass heavy, making things sound "muddy".) It's actually more like I had hoped, where the extra bass promise just means the bass is heard (unlike the budget earbuds in the "under $15" category that usually have almost no bass).
The only downside I've found to these is that I wish they made the cord a little bit longer. For example, if I sit my laptop on the floor right next to a chair I'm sitting in? The earbud cables just barely reach. If I turn my head, that's enough to pull the cord tight and make one of the earbuds come out of my ear.

1. Sounds amazing. Good Bass. Note that I am not a audiophile. This is by far the best ear buds for the price I have bought.
2. Mic is very powerful. I use this to talk on my mobile regularly. The other person hears me clearly even in a busy train.
3. Works perfectly with Nexus 6P. I had other headphone/earbuds go crazy on Nexus 6P like google voice activates unexpectedly, volume increases/decreases automagically. Nothing like that happens with this ear bud with mic.
4. Seems durable but time will tell.

Bought these to use because a couple other pair I have were uncomfortable and didn't have very good sound. I read a few reviews about these and the ratings looked good so gave them a try. These earbuds are quite comfortable even after wearing for a few hours and the sound is very impressive particularly for this price range. I didn't think the bass would be very strong but it's much better than I had expected. Really impressive sound. Very satisfied with this purchase.

I picked these up for use in an office environment . They are comfortable for long periods of time and are well insulated against background noise. The cord is long and flat and the blue color looks great. The sound quality was better than expected at this price point , sound was clean and there was some bass.

These Sony headphones are wonderful. The sound is clear, the bass is very good for earbuds. They're comfortable and the rubber molds are soft and fit snugly and are really good at eliminating outside noise. The wires are good at avoiding tangling and have a nice tactile feel to them. Just all around good headphones.

These ear buds are great. Love having the inline mic and phone connectivity. I wanted to make sure I got Bass out of my ear buds as I play Bass guitar and definitely listen for it in my music. These delivered in spades. I actually have to use the bass reducer equalizer in my iPhone to make it sound more natural. The different ear cups are welcome and I ended up going with the second to smallest. They are comfortable and do a good job isolating outside noise. Sound quality is very good but very Bass heavy. Some may like this but with a tweak of the EQ, you can trim some of it out. I'd rather have the ability to have the extra bass than not.

These earbuds are AMAZING for their cost

I have these earbuds hooked up to my computer and a dedicated sound blaster z card. These earbuds can get loud enough to make yours ears hurt with a headphone AMP. The bass is a bit on the muddy side but its not terrible. The frequency response on these are pretty darn good for the price (music sounds live, clear, responds really good no delay). For the price these things are pretty decent. It has clear mids, the highs are so-so, and the bass is prevalent but not like a sub-woofer in your ear sound. These earbuds comes with a carrying case and 4 sets of ear bits.
These earbuds sound great with rock music, R&B/Hip-Hop/Pop sounds clear but it sounds mashed up, EDM sounds great in high bitrate 320K. The earbuds has a fake metal on the end. I did not get a chance to try the mic but it does have a pause play button.
I tested these earbuds on my Pixel 3a XL and they sound fine. They don't get as loud on the phone due to the phones maximum output.
Overall for the price and quality of the earbuds I would highly recommend these as a nice set of earbuds on a budget.

These are definitely the best earbuds I have ever used! They do not fall out of my ears when I am jogging and the sound is loud and clear... I don't hear the wind coming through and muffling the sound. And the bass on these earbuds are great considering the small size of the earbuds!

This Sony is a nice pair of earbuds with tons of bass. It does sound a little muffled compared to bigger headphones but it's not terrible. I also own a pair of UrBeats. This Sony earbuds sound much better at about a third of the price
It has a premium feel without the price.

Not only does it have great sound quality but very durable. I'm a Sony person and Sony continues to impress me with every Sony product purchased. If you love listening to music loud with tremendous bass and clarity then I recommend you purchase a pair of these headphones. To be honest and with some comparison it blows beats by dr. Dre by far.

Great Sound Quality. Comfort is a pretty good. If you are using them for the gym/ cardio etc. they have a tendency to fall out due to sweat and the volume adjust swing. They significantly reduce background noise simply by having them in your ear and with music on it is blocked completely. Great inexpensive, quality headphones.

These headphones are awesome! The chord is thicker & seems a little more heavy duty than your usual headphones. When I have these in, I can't hear any sounds coming from the outside world. When the music is playing through them, it's very clear & the bass is ridiculous! It sounds great!
They are very comfortable as well!

The Perfect Earbud Headphone

I purchased these Sony headphones from Best Buy while laying over in Boston. Realizing I left my earbuds on the last plane I was on, I just wanted something reasonably priced that wouldn't be a horrible experience using when exercising.
My expectations have been exceeded. These are the most durable earbud headphones I've yet to see. The don't feel flimsy, and the buds fit extremely well in the ear, blocking out unwanted noise.
The superior noise cancelling coupled with the deep base let's you get lost in your music. Plus it has a great phone mic.
I would recommend these to anyone who wants quality but wants a great value.

Bought these to replace my Bose headphones and was pleasantly surprised on the crisp sound quality and tight bass. Fit is decent (bit larger due to design for extra bass), but comfortable in the ear. Glad that I picked up second pair for my son. They work fine for workouts - have them linked to my Galaxy S5.

To start off, my wife doesn't believe in paying for these headphones because of the price. Headphones are headphones and you can pay $10 or less according to her. After purchasing these headphones I let her try them out. She was blown away at how great they sound and couldn't believe the clarity of the highs, mids, and bass. She had to get her a pair. I mostly use them with my Galaxy Note 4 with adaptive sound and they sound great!!! I enjoy using them for phone calls, music, and video. Even though they are not noise cancellation, they will drastically reduce sound around you. When I use them as a hands-free device, I only use the left ear bud with mic attached so I can continue hearing what's going on around me. I have no complaints and bass sounds great. You can also download an app for further push button configurations.
