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.

Pros: really good bass for its tier/price(rivals and maybe even kind of betters my other actively used WIRED earbuds such as UrBeats3 and it easily blows the Earpods); blocks lots of noises, long, flat, non-tangle cables, right angle 3.5mm plug, really bright blue color, universal compatibility with use of lightning or usb-c adapters and...it's made by Sony. Cons: the buds protrude ways out than I would like them to be and it makes listening while laying on my side uncomfortable..need to take one off; no buttons for volume control(need an app or something but no thanks), mic quality for calls is so-so due to farther than usual placement of the mic itself and with the use of the bigger bud tips..uhh..it makes weird plastic-y noises when inserting into my ears. Even with the downsides...I still recommend and rate this excellent because the pros outweigh the cons.

I was looking for new earbuds and decided to buy these. It was a good surprise for me how well they sound! Rich bass good amount of tremble and a middle! Comfortable, just a little heavier than I expected, but not too much. Pros: + 4 different size of silicone caps + Flat cable Cons: - none found

I have owned a red pair since 1.5-2 years ago and were twice the price they are now. I would still pay $60 for another pair today. Both the highs and lows are amazing. Good buds for people that like bass. My original pair still sounds as good as new and I use them daily at work for hours at a time. They are comfortable for extended use and very durable. Comes with cloth pouch and four different ear piece sizes. Due to my line of work, I have snagged these hard enough to yank them out of my ears and cell phone simultaneously multiple times with no damage. I bought my second pair just to have for when these finally go out, but I feel like that won't be any time soon. They just won't die. Warning though... the red will show dirt much easier. I bought blue as my back ups. Tempted to buy another black pair for when these both go out..... 5-7 years from now. Worth every penny and then some.
