Great headphones for use with my laptop

 

Great headphones for use with my laptop

I bought these to replace a well used pair of older, similar Sony headphones. I love them. They are light, do not block sound (conversations) and have good sound for their price. They have speakers that sit in your ear, not in the canal. They do not...

Great sound, poor cable

Ah, if only Sony made these headphones with a more durable cable... I'm on my 3rd pair already. I keep coming back to them because the sound quality is great and beats any 'two-pods-on-a-wire' type headphone. Unfortunately the cable is the weak point....

Faulty heaphone

 

Faulty heaphone

Well, sure they lasted me a year, all the while sounding GREAT with a clear added bass boost from these magnets. They started cutting out 6 months ago. The left speaker (as posted several times by others regarding this product) has now blown out 100%....

These headphones are fantastic

My only gripe with these wonderful headphones are that the wires at both ends eventually go bad at 3-6 months of really heavy use (I'm pretty ruthless with my equipment). Otherwise, I can't say enough good things about these -- the cord is of ample...

Great headphones, great price

These headphones produce wonderful clear sound at a great price. Perfect for portable or computer audio. I have several headphones in this price range, and these undoubtedly produce the highest quality sound. It's sleek and well made. It combines the...

Good price, good sound

Ok, I'm not an audiophile. I'm not a headphone expert. I'm just someone who really likes to listen to music while working out, and these do a really good job. They're lightweight, produce a clean sound, and don't fall off my head. The ear buds...
