    Perfect sound and clarity all time preferred. Just one adjustment has to be in mind and is that they get loose in your ear and fall out with too much movement.

    Sound quality is absolutely fantastic. I ride a motorcycle, ans these are a daily use for me because of the ANC that Sony uses, and it blocks out almost ALL outside sound. I highly reccomend this.
