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.

    They are alright if you just need a quick pair of headphones but they didnt hold up to the noise of a plane ride when turned up to highest volume.

    Really average product. I had the same pair a few years back and they lasted for 3 years with no damage but these acted up in no time.

    I rarely post negative reviews. But these are GARBAGE! I wanted them to plug in for zoom calls. Once in your ear, the echo chamber is unbearable. I have used numerous other headphones, ranging from cheap disposable to higher end and none are this bad. Of course once its used and out of the package I don't have any options.

    I expected more from a Sony product. The sound is okay but the mic is horrible. Even when I am in a silent room it's as if no mic is attached.

    These are definitely a step up over typical ear buds, but bass was too much at expense of other frequencies for my taste I returned.

    For what we paid for these, I am not impressed. Bass is weak and highs/miss sound muddy. Skull Candy ink'd buds blow these out of the water.

    I originally paid about $60 for these headphones. When the first pair was acting up, I took them to Best Buy with my receipt & had the replaced, no problem. When they were replaced, I was given $21 back because of price drop. These headphones are completely unreliable! They skip songs, the song speeds up, it's reception is awful. Such a waste of money! So frustrating. Do not bother!
