Sony has blown its reputation

 

I have never been so compelled to write a review as with these headphones. I purchased these when my beloved MDR-A35 headphones died, expecting comparable quality. These are the worst sounding headphones I have ever heard in my life. I was so shocked I...

MDR-AS35W

 

I tried to replace my MDR-A44 headphones with the same model, but Sony had discontinued them. I purchased the MDR-AS35W instead and found them pretty good with one flaw. When I work out I put the cord behind my back to keep it out of the way, but on...

Highly recommend!

 

I have used the prior sports model headsets for years due to the ability to fold it. This is a really great advance in the sound quality due to the redesign.

A customer

 

These headphone sound great and fit great. For excercise or other activities they are great. I do worry a little that they seem a bit flimsy. But, in the mean time, they do the job well.
