DO NOT BUY SONY HEADPHONES!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound fine, but there is a known flaw in the engineering of the headphones. After 10 months of use, the hinge randomly cracked, and now the headphones are unusable. This is such a known issue that they have collaborated with another company to repair the headphones at the customer's expense. While online it is allegedly listed for those whose break happens "out of warranty," when you actually seek a warranty repair, they say it constitutes physical damage and is not covered. THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT OR HONOR THE WARRANTY. Buy literally any other brand- these are not worth it.
