"Best headphones for a low price" 2010-04-06
By D. Roche
I bought these headphones because skull candy kept failing me. I had no idea how good these where going to sound. But when I test headphones I usually listen to Animal Collective songs. They have these little sounds in there songs that only GOOD headphones can pick up. So I listened and i was AMAZED. I asked the person if she was charging the right price when I tried them out as i was astonished that something below 30$ was this good.

The only bad thing is that after wearing it for a while it tends to get uncomfortable, but who cares about that. If your a college student and are really into hearing everything in a song with the best quality possible and cant afford those Sennheiser/ akg or any top of the line headphones, I HIGHLY suggest getting these headphones.

P.S. Ive had Sennheiser in the past lots of other headphones

I was trying to switch headphones so I decided to get these by Sony. I used to have the black over the head earphones that cost about the same. I shouldve got those instead of these bulky, crappy sound quality earmuffs. Probably the worst purchase I've made in a few years. Buy if you love dissapointment

"Simply awful... buy the Sennheiser!" 2010-04-03
By Christopher Barrett CS, CSW (Portland, Oregon)
I am a huge Sony guy, but these are some of the worst headphones I have tried. The bass is often overwhelming, the construction is shoddy at best, the plastic cheap and uncomfortable, and they are UGLY! They are huge and don't adjust well. The sound switch on the ears is foolish and useless (makes no difference). They are extremely uncomfortable, especially on the top of the head. I returned these and bought the latest Sennheiser HD202 headphones which blow these away for about the same price.

BUY SENNHEISER HD202 instead!!! Trust me!

I love your TVs, cameras, PS3, and laptops Sony... but you dropped the ball on these!

"Amazing, but I could think of a few things to change" 2010-04-03
By Ryan Deklerk
So I've been meaning to get real headphones, like these, for a long time now. So I started searching on Amazon and found these for a cheap price. And being form Sony, I thought heck yeah! I bought them, and I think that, for the price I paid, these are amazing. So here we go - my review:

Comfort:
I give this a 5 out of 5 for comfort. These things allow you to wear them for hours on end without hurting your ears. I even fell asleep with them on. The choice of not using a fabric for the ear pads was a great one, in my opinion. I often use these after doing something, like running or lifting, that makes me sweat. Also, I use them after I shower. If there was fabric, then it would absorb all the water, and wouldn't last for too long. So, no fabric = great choice by Sony.

Design:
The design was okay. What I don't like about it is that when you are wearing them, you look like a dork. Instead of folding over your head, they look square. This makes it look like you are trying to bring back a trend from the 70's. But it doesn't bother me too much because I never wear them out of my house. But if you do, it's just something to think about.

Sound Quality:
The sound given by these headphones is amazing. But I can't get over the lack of bass. Other reviews said that it provides just the right amount of bass. And that may be true for some people, but not me. I guess it's just because I'm a bass junkie, and love hearing the bass lines in songs.

Overall:
Overall, I think this is a great choice. Buy them if you are looking for a cheap, high quality pair of headphones. I am really happy that I made this purchase.

"Oversized" 2010-04-02
By Julio C. Menendez (Salt Lake City, UT)
Maybe it's just me but this are really oversized. And everytime I used them I ended up with headache or pain in my ears.
