Like my title says, they do sound pretty decent. They are very light weight and pretty comfortable, I have even fell asleep while watching a YouTube video before bed on my Samsung Galaxy note 5 using these earphones and i noticed no discomfort at all.
When it comes to sound they sound very bright and what I mean by that is that the higher frequencies overkill the low frequencies by about 50% the bass response which is the lower end frequencies can be heard ok but it's not as loud as I would like it to be, when it comes to Bass on a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 7 as it is much to be desired, you can hear it but not as loud as the higher frequencies. Now when it comes to the cord on the earphones, it is honestly very flimsy and feels like if I accidentally yank it a little too hard, the cable can tare off from the earphone making them useless. When it comes to phone calls, some people.can hear me pretty clear and some hear my voice muffled. I can answer and end calls with it but the volume control doesn't work but it's not a big deal for me.
I can compare these easily to the earphones you get with most Android smartphones like my samsung note 2 and 3. My note 5 didnt come with any so I also had a pair of klipsch XR8i Hybrid earphones which I really liked due to their awesome bass response and clarity but unfortunately I cannot recommend them because they are extremely expensive and though they sound good, they were replaced 3 times by the 1 year warranty because 1 tweeter driver on the left side and 1 woofer driver on the right side kept breaking inside the earphones which was weird. Once the 1 year warranty was over, the last replacement pair broke in 2 months of use for the same exact reason and I only used them at night watching Netflix, YouTube and some Anime off of Funimation and Crunchyroll at low to medium volume, so that is why I bought these cheaper Sony earphones to replace the expensive ones. Now for the price of these Sony earphones under twenty dollars, they do the job well and serve my purpose of bedtime YouTube video watching till I fall asleep. Would I recommend them? Yes because they get the job done and they are very affordable and very comfortable too so if these break, I can simply order another pair with no problem of breaking the bank vs the klipsch earphones that costed me almost $300.00 dollars. They sounded excellent while they worked but not worth it. BestBuy is no longer selling the XR8i's either because of faulty parts in the driver's. Anyways do not expect these to have a good amount of bass because they don't really have it however they do sound decent and get the job done. In the picture below you will see my new cheap Sony earphones in the right vs my Expensive paper weight edition klipsch earphones on the left.

Great sound for such a low price. I wasn't impressed right away but they grew on me, the bass is respectable and they're comfortable. If you looking for a inexpensive wired solution I sincerely recommend

These pair of headphones are great, they get the job done. If you're in a pinch and need a pair and you have an old iPad or whatever these are perfect. They're not that fragile unlike Skull candys after a few months, I've had them for long enough, the sound profile is great, unlike apple ear buds that are hard and can get painful for too long for me because you just have hard plastic in your ears, these have different sized ear tips to fit in ear and it's miles better. They're great for plane rides, especially if you're prone to your ears popping on the flight to and from your destination. The only thing is, the labels between left and right needs to be a bit bigger, sometimes it's a bit hard to read and I don't think most people care, but this is designed to make sure you don't wear out the wires to the earphones. Otherwise, the sound is great, the fit is very comfy, all for cheap earbuds.

These budget earbuds are 100% worth the money. Here’s a list of things that I enjoy from these Sony earbuds:
-Great audio-quality. Their audio quality is amazing and don’t compare to a regular earbud’s audio-quality.
-Feels comfortable in the ear. The earbud’s tip feels amazing, almost like silicon. They don’t fall out of the ear easily and they even include another set of tips, just in case!
-Easy to take anywhere with you. These earbuds are the perfect length for traveling or bringing them with you somewhere.
-They’re cheap. Cheap! Cheap earbuds for all of these features mentioned? Mentioned? There are still some features that aren’t in this review!
In conclusion, they’re amazing and should probably replace your old and almost-broken earbuds.

For an inexpensive earbud these work very well for me. The sound is better than I expected. From spoken word to a wide variety of music these have a really good sound especially toward the high end. There may be as much bass as some people might like to hear. Also, they come with three sizes of earbuds for a comfortable fit,

Sound is great! I really enjoy the audio quality; the cable material is very resistant and my ears feel comfortable when using them. Noise reduction is wonderful! I don't here anything but my music! They are very cheap and this doesn't diminish the good name of Sony: I love the quality.

These headphones have great clear sound for listening to music or talking on the phone. They are even powerful enough to work on airplanes. I bought them for my recent trip and they worked perfectly on the plane plus they were very comfortable.

My husband wore out two sets of expensive wired headphones in the last couple of years. They were also discontinued, so when I was shopping for the alternatives, I came across these Sony headphones.
The price was very affordable including free shipping and it was delivered in two days.
My husband has been using these headphones for over a month now when he plays his games and listens to his favorite podcasts. He absolutely loves them - highly recommended!

Pro: Audio Quality: BASE and Treble pretty decent with MID or Large size rubber earbud snap-ons. Base is not great when used with the smallest size plug. Its worth the price you pay for on the go headset. Works with iphone with lightning adapter ( not included).
Con: picks up wind noise on audio calls , so other user can not hear well. DOES NOT have Vol. Control on the H/P earbud, need to use it on the iphone - small inconvenience.
