Not Optimal but Alright

 

The 3.5mm audio plug seems to be a typical plug: not flimsy but not securely anchored in case of jerking (of the wire). I really wish it didn't have the vinyl plug design that it has, otherwise it's just fine. It has a small, plastic sliding adjustor...

Nice quality sound for the price. Flexible wires (I've had some come out from really stiff wires). They block out about as much sound as regular plastic earbuds, so I can listen to music and still understand what someone says to me. They let you eat...

The vinyl plugs are a bit awkward to insert. Unless the vinyl plugs are positioned correctly in the ear canal, that ear will receive about 50% volume (so if it doesn't fit well in one ear, it will keep working its way out). Although it has good sound...

Great Headphones!

 

i am generally very rough with my headphones, i shorted 2 other pairs right before buying these, i was very careful when purchasing because i hate it when my headphones short out so soon after buying...these seem to be holding out though! i bring them...

Great price! Its been nearly 3 months and no problems yet...., not bad sound

not in-ear, but still really good, and they do stay in

Love 'em

 

For a guy that doesn't like earplug style headphones and the typical buds kept falling out, these are a blessing. They sit in your ear securely and don't fall out with jostling. Also, they sound AMAZING for their price. Great bass, great treble. They...

Comfortable, good sound, VERY durable

The best

 

These are the best. I have purchased 20+ different headsets and earbuds trying to get something that will stay in my ears while mountain biking AND still sound good. These are the ones. You can pay more, but there is no need; just buy these.

They stay in your ears

None really

Good Value

 

This is my second purchase of these earbuds---my last pair lasted at least 3 years with everyday wear. These earbuds offer great sound at a great price and the design fits my ears comfortably. Thanks Sony for continuing with this great product.

Long-lasting, great low bass, affordable

Clear crisp sound. Won't get your Oontz on.

 

For the price I wasn't expecting everyting claimed. The ear canal shape is perfect for me as it directs the music and still allows outside noises to be heard. i.e. doesn't seal the ear completely.

Clear & Crisp voices. Good mid bass and above sounds. The ear canal design is great for directing the music. And since it does not seal the ear completely. I can not worry about hearing what I am eating through the ear bone

Completely missed the mark on their claimed "Bass booster for deeper better sound bass..." tagline ; Its okay for midbass, but nothing below that level. Forget about hearing deep bass sounds

Only Earbuds I'll Use

 

I have always hated earbuds because they've always fit awkwardly in my ears, causing pain and irritation. They also tend to have horrible sound quality. However, I bought a pair of these so I could listen to music while I worked (my job at the time...

Comfortable, good sound quality

Flimsy if put through lots of physical stress (like any earphones)

High quality in a cheap price

 

This is a really good earphone that one could find in its price range. this particular earphone even strips off the XB Series earphones. But one big problem is that after prolonged use your ears will start to ache mainly because of the 16mm audio...

Heavy deep bass with noise isolation

prolonged use is really uncomfortable
