who designed these silly things? [Posted on 2006-03-28]
So I'm a big Sony fan and I was looking for a compact headphone without going the earbud route (those little things hurt my ear canals and are worse for your hearing than headphones) so I thought I would compromise and get the earphones without the plastic "head" part that connects the left and right. Bad move.
These are horribly designed. The "hook" part that goes over the ear doesn't leave them snug to my ear for good sound/bass. Furthermore, I was expecting 2 wires: one to each earpiece splitting at the neck line. Not until I got them out of the box did I find that 1 wire goes from the player to the left ear, then a wire goes from there to the right ear. In short you have a right earpiece hanging off of the left earpiece, which I'm sure you can imagine gets tangled pretty often. Also, if you're jacket sleeve gets caught on the wire near your player, it pulls the left earpiece off of your ear.
If you are considering these for running purposes, DO NOT buy them as you will be horribly disappointed. I'm a walker myself and am having trouble getting used to this loose fit.
The one saving grace - and only reason for a 2 star rating - for these is that the sound is very decent as with all Sony I've ever owned. But since they fit so loosely, this is irrelevant.
what was that last reviewer thinking? [Posted on 2006-05-17]
I wear headphones to listen to my mp3 everyday, all day at work. I had another pair of these for a long time and they finally gave out on me. I searched all over for a new pair because none of the substitutes were as comfortable. I like the nice long cord so I can put my mp3 in any pocket I want, the sound is great, and I like the style.
Annoying design [Posted on 2006-06-24]
I bought these to replace my iPod ear buds and was sorely disappointed in them. The sound is decent, but in order to actually hear your music without turning the volume way up, you need to actually press the earphones against your ear as it's impossible to get a snug fit. I'm also utterly confused by the need for the right headphone to be attached to the left headphone - it's just replacing a wire hanging in front of you with a wire hanging behind you. I'm taking these back today and looking for something else.
BEST BEST BEST!!!! [Posted on 2007-03-29]
This earphones from sony have an exceptional sound quality, is one of the best, and for this price is amazing, they look beautiful and sound like that too!
You wouldnt expect less from sony of course
Only thing is that it sounds so hard that sound leaks more than wanted and people around you can hear what you're listening.
But thats not a big deal, trust me
