Great for the price! [Posted on 2007-06-26] These lightweight, comfortable earbuds provide good, well-balanced, sound at an attractive price. They do not rival $200 headphones, of course; but they are better than one would expect for the price. There are no frills--I used to have a similar set with a small in-line volume control, but they were bundled with a Sony CliƩ PDA and don't seem to be available for separate purchase. One word of caution: an identical pair of these headphones developed distortion on one side after only about three months; I have no idea if it is common for them to go bad so quickly, but at their low price I was willing to gamble on another pair--so far, after about a month, there have been no problems.
Great yet inexpensive product [Posted on 2007-07-08] When I purchased these I had the mindset of just giving them a try because they were only 8 dollars. I didn't expect too much. I got them to replace my Ipod earphones which are the lousiest earphones ever. more sound left the earphone to the surrounding environment than what actually entered my ear. These sony earphones are different. I am really happy with the purchase.
not the best [Posted on 2007-12-31] I received these for chistmas as replacement to my ipod earbuds and I am less than satisfied, they will be returned. First, the bud shape is awkward and large, and becomes uncomfortable to wear after 10 minutes use. They are bass-ier than the ipod buds and I can't hear the singer's nuances as well, which may or may not be a minus to others, but I prefer vocals over boom. And yes they are light, but the material is a slick hard-plastic which is hard to grip and also hollow, so anything touching against the bud reflects into your ear..for instance, hair brushing over the outside plastic becomes amplified, which is annoying and distracting.
The sound is decent for the price, and if you have short hair it may not bother you, but these are not the best choice for everyone.
Decent for the price [Posted on 2008-04-22] I've had these for about 6 months and they've served their purpose. Decent sound quality, lightweight, and inexpensive. I never had a problem with them being uncomfortable, but they do tend to fall out from time to time when running/working out, which is the main purpose I have them. The real downfall for me was the short cord - if you have your desktop computer tower on the floor, don't expect to be able to reasonably plug them in and listen comfortably from your chair....or if you have your mp3 player in the wrong pocket the cord might not reach to your ears. Not to mention, they're malfunctioning now because of a broken wire probably that is causing one or the other speaker to cut out, so it's time for some new ones and I won't be getting these again. I guess you get what you pay for...
Quality is the best so far. The shape fit nicely into ear [Posted on 2008-05-22] This product always be my first choice since i got one 5 years back.
The bass and treble is very clear and you will not regret on getting this.
