    Not worth the money. Cheaper headphones have better quality sound and are more comfortable. These may be good looking, but they are bulky, and average at best.

    The pads are a little rough on the ears but not as bad as most. The wireless version of these felt better and softer

    After about a half hour working with the salesman, he assured me that these are for TV's. Not so. They are for cellphones.

      Hi sgrav, thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that this unit failed to meet your expectations. Based upon the specifications, this unit has an L-shaped gold-plated four-conductor mini plug, we suggest to check the specifications and settings of your TV. Dave Sonystyle

    I tried out these headphones for a day or so. Soundwise, they are OK but unfortunately, the cups are so loose that the headset would fall off my head ever time I tilted it up and no amount of tightening the headset would help. This made the headphones unusable for me.

    Don't buy them. They don't fit well, and you're much better off buying a nicer over the ear headphone.

    Best sounding headphones you can get under 100$

    I am extremely happy with the Sony MDRXB450AP/B headphones. They sound great, fit comfortably, and for the price, you get a great value. Let me go into depth a little more. By now, Best Buy probably hates my guts because I have had to return 4 different pairs of headphones before finally being satisfied with these ones. I am an audiophile, with a hobby of producing electronic music for about 18 years. Once upon a time, I could drop 350 dollars on headphones and not think twice about it. But now, married, with 2 kids, I can not afford to make such purchases anymore. Anyways, I am extremely picky about sound, I am very familiar with high end equipment. I realize it's highly unlikely that I can find high end sounding gear in the double digits. However, I must say that I am pleased with these Sony's. I'm not sure why they market them with the term 'extra bass, ' it should be termed 'proper bass. ' They sound natural, with pretty close to flat frequency response (that is a good thing, to those who are wondering) . They are comfortable, but after 45 minutes or so, they do start to feel tight on the ears. I have bent the metal slightly to make them last longer with out the pain. I do NOT recommend bending them, unless you know what you are doing, and are a perfectionist as I am. Do not waste your time with other brands and models, learn from my mistakes. These truly are the best sounding headphones you can get for under a hundred. I paid 60, and they beat other brands ones costing 80/90$.

    I'm a headphone nut, I have 20+, ear buds, on ear, over ear, Bluetooth, etc...cheap and really expensive ones. Always looking for the best sound. I'm really impressed with the clarity of these, along with strong yet not overwhelming and muddy bass (ahem, Beats anyone?). I'm hearing things in songs that I never noticed before. Very happy that I can listen to classical music, then hip hop or EDM without having to change headphones. Well done Sony.
