Customer Ratings & Reviews

This the second time I bought this model of headphones. Both times I paid around $10. The first pair lasted about 5 years of constant use and little concern for how I treated them. They sound great, and you can fold them up for easy storage and transport. I've tried many types of headphones at many price points over the years, and nothing comes close to the value I've received with this model. Sure, you could pay 10 or more times the price for slightly higher quality sound, design, sturdiness, etc. But I guarantee you're only getting twice the value at most. Do the math, you'll see what I mean. Check them out!

Excellent headphones for an excellent price. 25 years ago, I had several people tell me, "The most overpriced items you will ever see are 'Speakers.'" Those people were correct. Headphones are the exact same way. It is absurd the way companies such as Bose and others was literally THIRTY times as much money as Sony for their headphones. Read the reviews and you clearly see people say there is no noticeable different in quality between the inexpensive headphones from various manufacturers and the expensive headphones. I learned this same lesson with electric razors. I first bought an electric razor for $30. I then bought one for $100. It was at that point when I realized the quality was the same. Both of them simply cut hair. The way companies now want $300 for electric razors is absurd. Those cheap ones for $30 are just as good. It would be nice if Sony charged good prices like this on their TV sets. Now I just buy other brands that cost a lot less and actually offer better performance than Sony.

Before buying these Sony - ZX Series headphones for my daughters (7 and 10 years old), I had bought some Skull Candy headphones for them. The Skull Candy headphones broke within 6 months. The wire kept breaking. So, I decided to try these Sony headphones. They were about the same price ($20-$30). These have lasted for at least 2 years and they sound great! Of course, they aren't Beats. But they also don't cost $200-$300. They have good bass due to the Bass Booster technology and a good range of mids and highs. I also like the fact that the "ears" collapse for easier packing in a backpack or suitcase. I have bought 3 pair so far. One for each child and an extra pair in case they have to take them to school for computer/ipad use.

I purchased these as a replacement. These are light weight and easy to wear. They do not have the volume as I would have liked but the overall sound is excellent.

This inexpensive headphone has great sound with deep lows. It is light weight and folds for convenience.

Sound is good but volume seems a bit low. They're great for the price although small for my ears

Great sound at an affordable price point. They purchased these for a child to use at school. Very durable and comfortable.

Bought these for my daughter to take to school. She likes that they fold up which makes them take up less room in her backpack. Sound quality is great and they seem to be pretty durable.

it sounds ok but it doesn't have much bass, even with the DAC it doesn't do any justice, returned this and bought the one from Target. MDR-ZX310AP It sounds 10 times better, it has bass and is able to handle the extra bass from my DAC, also sounds great with the PS4 connected to the controller but sounds better when connected with the Turtle Beach PS4 AUX to USB adapter

I rarely spend the time writing reviews, but I was compelled in this case. These Headphones are an AMAZING value. I got them on sale for $10 bucks, and now I wish I bought 2 sets. I've only owned for a week, so I can't (yet) speak for their longevity, but sound quality is outstanding. I bought them to use at the office at my desk with iPod, and I couldn't be happier. VERY comfortable too. Even if you can't get these on sale, they are still well worth $20. Also, these replaced another pair of very old Sonys that I have, that still work and I was very happy with, but they were the old kind with foam pads which deteriorated and fell off. Before you spend a lot more money on headphones (for sitting around) try these first!

These are my favorite pair of cheap headphones. They do break easily if you say...accidentally sit on them lol... but they are so cheap it's not a big deal to just buy another pair. I prefer these than other headphones because these are lightweight and dont hurt my head/ears. Sound quality is okay. I feel like these would be top tier headphones back in the 90s. Pretty good for the price.

These are nice headphone for the money I like that they fold flat for travel The sound quality is good They fit my head nicely I am not sure about the plug end as it is L shape I have not used this style before

Very good quality for budget priced headphones. Comfortable ear cushions.

When I purchase a portable CD Player for my mother, I definitely wanted her to have some headphones that were comfortable with a great sound with a great price. I love Sony and all of their products. So, when I came across the headphones that Best Buy was selling that was Sony brand, I was amazed at the price. Even cheaper than Amazon. I took a chance to go ahead and purchase them without reading the reviews. But so far, anything that I have purchased from Best Buy has been good quality. So, I purchased them. And after mom received them with her portable CD Player, she was so happy. I'll definitely purchase from Best Buy because customer service is great as well as the products that you all sell.

Purchased 3 sets for workers doing training on computer they liked the fit and said they were very comfortable and stayed in place. Quality of sound was a 10 out of 10

It’s a nice headphones very soft on the ears. I had similar Sony headphones for a few years and now I bought new one. It has a nice feel and nice sound quality. I think it’s good choice for the money.

Very good sound for music. Full bass. Fits my big head!

I bought these Sony ZX Series Wired On-Ear Headphones for my 6 year old son who absolutely loves them for the same reasons I do: sound quality is very good (especially at a very affordable price!), and, build quality is highly durable, so, they should stand up to all the abuse my 6 year old subjects them to (Best Buy also offered insurance at low cost added which I gladly paid for). So as not to allow my son to go deaf, I set the Volume Limiter feature on his iPad to about half the limit aloud since these Headphones, disappointingly, do not include a built-in mechanism to control volume levels.

I use these at the gym to watch and listen to cable stations. They produce clear sound and let me hear over the gym noise. They are light weight and well-made for a bargain price.

Very impressed with the sound quality from a product in this price range. Very comparable in performance and comfort to my last pair that cost 3 times as much. Only complaint would be that the cord is too short.
