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.

    Best earbuds I have ever owned!

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

    These earbuds have been the best I have ever purchased. Their sound is extremely good for their price with a perfect amount of bass but also a good amount of the other range too. Most earbuds I buy last only a few months and at most a year but these have lasted over 3 years and still work perfect. They are extremely durable and long lasting and are worth every penny.

    Love these ears buds .. they sound too legit, and got great bass a. The only one thing is that the driver is kinda big and feels just a bit heavy but it's still too legit after all.

    The sound is very good. Bass is very good for earbuds. Mids are very clear. Highs are a bit too sharp, sometimes even painful, but mostly the sound is excellent. Add in the multiple ear tips and the carrying pouch and the value alone makes these earbuds worth buying.

    Good but strains my ear

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

    The earphones are great but since everyone's ear is diffrent it is uncomfortable to me. Everytime I yawn I can hear my left ear squeezing the earbuds making it lower in volume. And on my right ear it strains a lot after a long time. I changed it to the extra small ones and they were better but now my left ear gets strained when I yaw. But other than that these are great a little too bulky but it's acceptable

    Despite some of the reviews these are good earbuds for the price. If you're not getting the bass you want use the different ear cushions provided. I found the largest cushion gave the most bass by sealing them in my ears properly. I understand people have different size ears but the better the seal the better the bass.

    Almost perfect

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

    I'm biased towards Sony's products for their quality and this headset is no exception. The build quality is outstanding for the price and the sound it reproduces is also great. I bought this as a replacement for a Sennheiser CX300II which is a little better for bass, but isn't so well constructed. I believe it isolates noise better, too. But again, as a Sony fan I'll opt for the Sony.

    Great value for the price

    I was looking for wired earbuds and saw the great reviews for this one. At the time, it was being discounted so I got them for $30. The build quality is great - the wires are thicker than your average earbuds and made of a material that helps prevent misshaping and jumbling. Each side is clearly labeled with L or R and the metal pieces on the buds help give a sturdy feel. Sound quality is a step above cheaper earbuds I'd used before these. I can hear a greater range of sounds, particularly on the lower frequency end, and can make out instruments in songs more clearly. These are an easy recommendation even at full price; they've lasted me for a couple of years now with no noticeable decline in quality and the wires are practically still in as good of a shape as when I first got them.

    Sound excellent, not comfortable

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

    Before these I was already using a different, lower end, model of Sony earbuds that I've really enjoyed. The Extra Bass were a little step up in quality. I wanted something similar that sounded better, and these certainly sound much better. Unfortunately, the Extra Bass earbuds hurt my ears. I've tried different size cups and tried getting used to them, but they still just hurt. I've gone back to my previous buds as comfort trumps a small bump in quality for me.

    Great earbuds for the most part

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

    These are some great sounding earbuds. The sound quality is good and I like the call button which is also a stop/play button. These things just look like they are built to last and are of good quality. My only caveat is their weight. They are the heaviest earbuds I've ever used and feel like they will fall out of your ears if you move around too much.

    Misleading Specifications

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

    I bought these headphones to replace the Apple ones I usually get. I actually like the Apple headphones because they have all the playback, microphone and volume features I like. But Apple seems to design their accessories to break and I got tired of buying them so often and having to trek to the Apple store at least twice during the one year warranty to have them replaced. But I digress. I bought these Sony headphones because the specifications specifically say that the product has volume control. So far, I have found no such function. The instructions sheet say the multi-function button may be accessed through an app on the Google Play store. I have an iPhone. So if there is in fact a volume function, I can't use it. Sony has the right to do whatever they want with their product but that needs to be specified. It's not the end of the world. It has everything else. I'm just a bit disappointed and may send these back on principle.

    I love these earbuds. The overall sound is great and the bass is better than I thought they would be. My only (minor) quibble is the cord is a bit short for my specific need (connecting to a desktop computer sitting on the floor), but it's fine for things like phones, iPods, etc.

    The "extra bass" isn't booming. It's just right. The sound quality is fantastic. Quality product from Sony.

    I purchased these headsets as a backup because the price was really good. I was looking to buy a good set of earbubs without paying alot of money that had a decent amount of Bass and I found it. These headsets are pretty good with Rich sound. I Have no regrets. I would definitely recommend this to others people.

    DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!!!

    These have excellent sound quality including the clarity of the treble and bass, minus the huge price tag that you would pay for Beats by Dre, Bose or any other products. If I break these, I wouldn't care and for the price of these, I will just purchase another pair of the these exact earbuds by SONY.

    I REALLY loved these headphones. The sound was loud and bassy, but no one on the train could hear what I was listening to. They were noise cancelling and so very comfortable. Unfortunately, one of the earbuds recently broke, so I had to say goodbye. Would CERTAINLY buy these again. Worth every penny!

    They are alright

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

    The sound quality is great. The cord is longer than average and that got annoying at times. The cord got a tangled a bit but not too often. I wish it had a volume adjuster button. After about 6 months they broke. Twice when I was wearing them the rubber earbud comfort thing actually stuck in my ear when I pulled the plastic earbud out of my ear and that was really weird and uncomfortable.
