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.

    At the recommendation of a Best Buy employee I purchased these. They are NOT noise canceling.

    Great earphones. Great price.

    This is my third set of Sony earplugs I have owned. Not because they have broken, but because I would give them away to family. These current ones fit great, plus come with other sizes of gel inserts if you need a different fit. The sound is excellent. Great frequency response. 4Hz-24kHz means great treble and great bass response. Better specs than the much more expensive beats by Dre earphones. These were $49 at Best Buy, but currently list them $35.97 at Best Buy.com. I just showed them that and they gave me the cheaper price. Excellent performance at an excellent price. I know some people have complained about the durability of them. Only time will tell, but with my past two earphones from Sony, they both lasted over a year, and we're still going strong when I gave them away. I do take a lot of care when handling them, so hopefully that won't be an issue. Give them a shot. You will not be disappointed.

    Basic sound quality, save up more money and get a more useful headset. Not good for sports use - so don't try running with these on because they will fall off.

    I've never been more disappointed in an earbud in my life. Sounds worse than the cheapest Skullcandy earbuds.

    Advertised by Sony as "extra bass" Not worth the $$ for sure. I returned these within a couple of days. The cheaper earbuds have a much cleaner sound.

    These will make your ears hurt after thirty minutes. Not having the ability to listen to a full album sucks. If I hadn't lost them, I'd have returned them.

    Great headphones for the price

    My old JVC gummy headphones that I've had for years got chewed through by my cat, so I obviously had to get some new headphones. I saw these, read the reviews and bought two pairs of them, taking a bit of a chance I suppose, but hey, I like to live on the edge. I was not disappointed. These headphones have a clear crisp sound, bass is excellent for the price, and checks every box as far I need for my music. They are sturdy feeling, comfortable in the ears and a great value overall. I'm glad I bought two pairs!

    Better than Skullcandy

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

    I was torn between these and the Skullcandy for the same price. I've been a fan of my titan Skullcandy but was in need for new earbuds. To be honest I only chose these because they were on sale for $30 off regular $50 price. Glad I gave it a shot, hits harder than my old Skullcandy earbuds. The angled earbuds does take some time to get used to but hits hard and was worth it. This coming from a Skullcandy fan boy.

    I am very picky about my music and it's quality and have experimented with many pairs of headphones. In my opinion, these are the best headphones around. I love the highs and lows, and have great bass.
