Stick well on the head, offer probably the best sound in their price range

Uncomfortable

After purchasing another discman I decided I had to go looking for some real headphones, and get rid of those tiny-crappy-uncomfortable Fontopias which came stock with the player and fell out of my ears all the time. I wanted something within the price range of around 25 - 30$, that would reproduce music at least fairly and not fall off my head when I'm running. I tried running with Sennheisers, but they were too large and caused my ears to sweat. OK, so here they are: blue with chrome accents, lightweight and they stick on the head pretty well. Too well. After a while your head starts to hurt because of the pressure and lack of designing precision. The sound quality is... well... average. Maybe they will sound better after a while. I surely hope so. The sound is warm, lacks detail and deeper bass, which seems common to all Sony portable audio. However, they are in fact warm-sounding and this places them above the KOSS KSC-15 that I tried, which don't even reproduce the midrange correctly. To wrap it up - I wanted quite cheap running-optimized headphones, and that's what I got. They won't fall off, they sound quite well for the price. You can't expect the sound quality and comfort of high-end Sennheisers from street wear cans. That's it.

Nice price! Nice look- Good sound-

Long Cable- Average sound compared to most earbuds- Low volume- Uncomforable

These headphones are for people who are fed up with earbuds or are looking for stylish headphones. I personally don't like them cause there isn't that much bass, and they hurt after a while. For such great looking headphones, Sony didn't test them for comfort. After about 30 minutes of music, I have to remove them and rub my ears. Also the cable is way too long. This cable is so long it drives me crazy. When I have the headphones plugged into my minidisc player, i have atleast 3/4 of a foot of cord hanging out my pokect. Don't get me wrong cause I'm not short; this headphones cable is just too long. The sound quailty on the headphones are good for $25. They don't pump that much volume like me previous earbuds did but they do good for computer use. I bought these headphones for my brother as a gift but he didn't really use them. After I lost my iPod earbuds I borrowed these for a short time. If you've listened to the iPods earphones, there's no comparison. To end this review, Buy these only if your looking for nice headphones. Note: your not getting Excellent sound here, your getting average sound. I ended up busting $50 on some MDR-E888Lp's for my iPod. Those bust clear sounds and powerful bass. Then again they're earbuds.

Strong bass and volume remote control

Hurts my ear and people who wear glasses would have problems with it

Cool blue headphones. Sometimes my ears hurt after wearing it for at least one hour. Anyways, it is a good purchase and hard to find it in many stores.

Caution: Even though I wear glasses, people who wear glasses would find this headphone very annoying while wearing it.

Great clear sound.
Comfortable.
Earphone is held very close to the ear.

Cord a little to short.

Great clear sound, I had a pair of JVC HA-820 before these they were also very good, but the Sony headphones are far better quality, much crisper and more depth of sound.

The headphone itself is held in place very close to the ear which helps a great deal to cut out outside noise and chatter, you harldy feel you are wearing them.
Really pleasing design.
