Sony - Lightweight Ear-Bud Headphones - Black

these headphones are small and lightweight. they have good sound, incredible bass (quite an upgrade if you used the headphones that come with an ipod.) multiple cap sizes. an odd design though, the cord doesn't split in the spot that most headphones do. the case is completely worthless. otherwise, i'd say, for its affordable price, that sony has done a good job.

I bought these in conjunction with my Shure E2C headphones just because I walk around my neighborhood a lot, and let's face it, it isn't that safe. These Sony ear buds are a wonderful set and I have had them for almost two years. And in that time, the sound has remained very clear, and I think has gotten better with age. There are only two reasons I didn't give this a perfect. The first is the bass isn't as deep as I would have hoped for, but this is comparing them to my Shure set. The bass is definitely great for ear phones this size, but the way they were touted I had hoped for better response. THe more important reason is the interchangeable cups like to slid out of my ears a lot. Not a huge deal, and it seems to happen a lot hen I am active, but it get annoying having to find where it fell and get it back in my ear. In response to the previous review, I 'misplaced' one of those little cups, but I was able to order a new set through Best Buy's part search line. Took about three days to get here, and were less than ten dollars after tax and shipping. In summary, these are a great set of earbuds, and are worth every penny. Awesome bass for a small set, and clear sound. Different sized cups means it will fit in almost any ear canal comfortably and strongly. Buds do like to slide around a bit, but only if you are active.

Bought these to upgrade my ipod headphones. Didn't want to shell out $100+ for the Shure or Bose models that many friends have suggested. These are very good headphones in their price range. Provided you use the proper fitting earpiece, they provide good rich bass and a pleasing sound overall. The highs and the mids could be a little clearer, and seem to get muddy at higher volumes, but again, a significant improvement over whatever junk came packaged with your mp3 player. Haven't had them long enough to comment on reliability or build quality, but the sound quality is certainly pleasing. I use them frequently when riding in a convertable, and while they don't block out all the external sound, they do a very good job for the price. Would buy these again.

I never used to like the earbud type headphones . I used the Regular Cup type . I had actually been using the sony street headphones that fall behind your neck , they sound awesome for the 30 buck that they were , but they began to hurt my ears after long periods of using them . So i decided to try out a pair of earbuds that had cushions to them . These are very very comfortable for someone who is not used to having them . Even after long use they didnt seem to bother me . If you are going to be listening to it at high levels , you may want to use an equalizer on your device to cut out some of the highs . But they are a great headphone either way .

With the outrageous price for high performance headphones, if you're looking for excellent bass and sound reproduction, look no further. Sure, there's plenty of units that offer sound canceling, even Sony's next model up offers that. But honestly if you're anywhere, short of an airliner taking off, these headphones will perform just about as well. Amazing bass response for so small a headphone. The Earbuds can come off with repeated use, so a caution to those with larger ear canals. Also, the earbuds are a pain to replace as the only retailer for them is Sony.com. Other than that, a great little set of headphones.

I've owned two pair of these headphones. I loved the first pair and they served me well for a long time until my young nephew got a hold of them and pretty much destroyed them. Dang kids.... So I went out and bought another pair. At first, they worked great, but after about six months, they just stopped working. I'd still recommend the headphones based off my first experience, just make sure to keep all information for a possible return or warranty issue.

These headphones sound great, as long as you can use them! I have had these for a year, they came w/3 pr of silicone ear bud covers, in 3 sizes. I liked the small ones, but I eventually had to use all of them because they fall off and get lost. I tried to order 1 pr on-line at Sony Direct, the total cost for 2 little black ear bud covers w/ tax and S/H will be $15.95..., I don't know why Best Buy or some retail store doesn't carry the replacements. Sony should package them in a larger quantity and sell them retail. After reading the other reviews, it sounds like most people have the same problem. I am not going to pay 1/3 of the original price just for the ear bud covers, I would not suggest you purchase these, unless you can glue the covers on the ear buds!

I currently use these headphones, so does my friend and also gave a pair to my wife. Much better than any of the $10-20, the Sony's really deliver a full sound and most importantly FIT IN MY EAR! I have used a variety of earbuds and these fit perfectly in my ear and stay in when I use them at the gym. Not mind blowing sound quality but worth the money to say the least. For normal and active use I highly recommend these headphones.
