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.

    Quality Earbuds

    I bought these earbuds because using Bluetooth can be a hassle and external headphones are bulky. I find that these earbuds provide reasonable sound quality for audible books and music while hiking or on an airplane.

    Very good. Always preferred headsets, but this is my new go-to companion. The sound quality is really great. I bought it on an offer for 25$. For this price, I don't think there are any better headphones out there.

    Really Wanted to Like Them But They TOO Painful!

    I am a huge Sony fan so when my Sony earbuds broke the last week of October, I searched far and wide for a great pair of earbuds that were not only great in price but also great sounding! Read so many online interviews and looked at so many different earbuds. These Sony earbuds had great bass and the mic seemed to be very clear on a phone call but my ears would hurt even just after half an hour of listening to music! It wasn't the silicone earbuds and I tried switching them up. It was the plastic earbud itself that was causing the pain in my ears, probably due to the size. I really wanted to like them but ended up returning them because of the unbearable pain.

    Pretty good for the price. They sound great. I needed a pair for when I forget to charge my main headset, and I have been having them plugged in and use em constantly and have had no issues.

    Perfect sound and volume for the basic music playing and phone call making needs. The ya re old school with wires/cords. They are super reasonable price for a high quality, dependable Sony product. Definitely recommend.

    I would like to say that I'm really happy with the way these sound. They have no sharp edges as I've found in other ear buds. Unfortunately, these don't fit my ears properly (even with the smallest buds) and therefore fall out pretty easily.

    I was looking for a pair of wired headphones with amazing sound quality. I usually listen to podcasts and audio books at work but on my commute, I want my music to be strong and solid. These work so well and I'm so glad they're in my budget range.

    I absolutely love these headphones. I actually bought these as an onstage monitor. I play bass so I needed something that would put out... well bass! I recommend these to anyone willing to try something a little cheaper than the big names. You won't be disappointed.

    These are by far the headphones to beat in this price range. Solid bass and clear highs, these have a great range. Construction feels good too with sturdy aluminum casing and a thicker cable. These have brought back the joy of music I have been missing.

    Great Noise Cancelling Headphones

    Great for anyone wanting headphones while riding their motorcycle. Also used this on an airplane and cancelled out most of the noise. But this is our 2nd pair that we've bought. Not the best when it comes being used as cell phone headset. But does the trick if you need them too!

    I must have tried 7-8 different earbuds until these ones satisfied my requirements. #1: do NOT fall out of my ears during work-out. Check! #2: have a crisp and clear sound. Check. #3: have a crisp and clear and LOUD bass. Check! #4: be made of high quality. Check! #5: do not produce "cable sound" while exercising or moving. Check! #6. Be very lightweight - not so much - the only negative. My previous Seinnheiser CX-475 satisfied ALL of those points, but, unfortunately died after 4 years of faithful use and have been discontinued. I cried. I cried some more. But, finally, found these SONY ones which I love, but just wish they were a bit lighter. GREAT sound and price otherwise.

    I recently took a trip to Europe. I needed a pair of headphones that could do a decent job of blocking the airplane's background noise while using the in-flight entertainment system. At first I looked at noise cancelling headphones. But they tend to be bulky. Also I don't travel enough to justify paying over $200 for a pair of headphones. So I bought these headphones. As other reviewers have said these do a solid job even though they are not noise cancelling headphones. I also use them at my gym since the treadmills have monitors and headphone jacks for tv viewing.

    Got these on sale for $30 and that price feels right, I've owned much better earphones but I gotta say the construction on these are amazing. Sound doesn't blow me away but is good enough for me to listen to music and appreciate the production quality. Sound isolation is great too.

    They are amazing -- what would be even more amazing if you could get them for $19.95. Seem to hold up well and great bass at low audio settings. Work extremely well while jogging and using them with the cell phone. Great product!
