Sony - Step-Up EX Series Earbud Headphones - Black

The headphones seen to be working well.i have had problems with head phones breaking. Time will tell

Great sound for the price point. I wanted basic, fairly cheap ones that weren't so cheap I'd actually be unsure if they were children's toys. I have used similar style buds from a competitor that leads the market in that price point and loved them, but I wasn't going to spend the extra cash for what was intended to be a short term backup set. I am more familiar with Sony over ear recording style sets which always sound great, so i figured they wouldn't be horrible. I have to admit that I was pretty shocked by how great the quality is across multiple devices. My only issue was compatability related with my phone regarding the button functions. They would only mute and unmute sound. I could care less about that, but it's something I recommend paying attention to if that is an important feature for you. Admittedly I wasn't expecting much, I chose that price point not with great expectations, but I needed a backup set for 3 days. I knew I was getting a pair when my new phone came in, and since children seem to have great timing along with their desire to destroy headphones I wasn't going for top notch, but as far as ear buds go.... I got excellent sound quality

These headphones easily compare to much more expensive options. The sound quality is very good and consistent and the microphone works well. I took off one star because I'm currently on my third pair in 2 years. Maybe I was expecting these to last longer than I should have, but I feel like the life is these is a little short considering that I have always kept them in a case. Sony does have a one year warranty on these and best buy also has a warranty option as well for people to take advantage of. Overall I would buy these again and have not found any other headphones in this price range with comparable sound quality.

First thing I noticed about the ear buds was neat packing and are nice looking. it comes with extra buds..thats a plus. Tried it immediately and it fit well and does not hurt ear(unlike bargain ear buds). The sound is nice and clear and can be used to for long time. However the I was expecting bit more bass but thats ok for the price. overall good ear buds for the price.

I absolutely love these earbuds! It comes with 3 differently sized silicon coverings to fit your ear, it dulls outside noise considerably (which is essential if you live in NYC, and need something to drown out the city noise as much as possible), the sound quality is great, and it has a sleek look. There is a mic and a single button on the small rectangular unit of the left ear side wire. If you're listening to music, one click pauses/plays the music, double-clicking skips to the next song, double-clicking while holding down on the 2nd click fast-forwards through the song you're listening to, triple-clicking goes to the beginning of the song/to the previous song, triple-clicking while holding down on the 3rd click rewinds the song that you're listening to. My only complaint is that there are no buttons to turn the volume up or down like there are on the earbuds that come with the iPhone. Regardless, every time that I accidentally put these through the washing machine, because I forgot them in my pocket, or when I lose them, I buy this pair again, because the price for the quality of earbuds you're buying is great!

These ear buds sound good for $30. My child keeps breaking the apple ones so I thought we would try these since they were on sale. So far so good. She says that they sound OK, but she still like her apple ones better. We will see how long these ones last. Hopefully more than 3 months.

I found myself out in the world and needing some headphones one day. I popped in to the Best Buy and found these affordable headphones. For the price range they sound great and they aren't shaped all weird to fit uncomfortably in your ears. They are a cozy fit.

I bought these because I've been using over the ear head phones while listening to music. I bought my current headphones because of the rating for sound quality (they were $250 on sale) and believe it or not, these ear buds sound almost as good as the headphones do. The mid range and the highs don't have the exact clarity or separation as the headphones do, but for $15.99, these are quite a bargain! It was even better after I applied my $5 certificate to them. I bought the white ones because they were cheaper than the black and the color doesn't make them sound any different. They are pretty amazing little buds. They also came with 3 extra rubber inserts that should fit just about any ear size. They seal well inside my ear and I'm happy with how they sound. They don't lack in bass, but also don't overpower the mids and highs. The clarity of the vocals is nice too. The highs are soft and sound like you'd get from a nice, smooth fabric (silk) tweeter. It's not too bright like you might get from a metal one. I had a set of more expensive Klipsch buds ( Reference R6m's) and I actually like these better. As far as Best Buy, I ordered them on Saturday and they said that they'd be here on Tuesday. To my surprise, they actually arrived on Monday. I have been impressed with Best Buy's shipping process. All in all, this was a Great buy and I wouldn't hesitate to get a set of these buds from Best Buy!
