Best sport headphones and design

 

Over all one of the best liked and most comfortable headphones ever made judging from hundreds of positive reviews on various websites.

The vertical headband design is probably the best headphone design. It lets air in and it lets moisture out. They fit almost all ears very comfortably and they stay comfortable. They don't fall out like ear buds or start to hurt like the special sport...

The main down side is the current price since they have been discontinued, and also that one ear eventually goes out because the wire connections eventually get loose. The cords pull on the connection to the speaker or entrance to the headphones which...

They are not indestructible!

 

I keep getting bounced back and forth between newegg and the warranty company and the manufacturer. Why? Because I do not have a PC and none of the websites are tablet friendly. Wierd, they all work when I make a purchase. BTW, its the same with the...

They did look tough. Arrived new in package

They only look tough. After almost three months of use. The covering over the wire near the jack itself has worn off. I admit I am a heavy user. That's why I bought these!. I loved having peace of mind with the one year return. However now that I need...

Work great until they stop working

 

These have been my go-to headphones for working out for the last 10 years or so, and I use them 6-7 times per week for 1-2 hours. I dislike in-ear buds, so these are perfect for lifting weights and running. They're lightweight, stay put, have perfect...

Lightweight, sound good, comfortable, inexpensive

Stop working after 6-8 months

USER FRIENDLY and QUICK

 

I am impressed that the Sony Website saved me so much time and gasoline trying to find the product I wanted. After my dog chewed up my Sony headset which I had for about 3 years, I was devastated. It was the only headset I like and doesn't hurt my...

USER friendly website, easy to find product, excellent price

Sony needs Competition

 

If another company made them to last I'd never purchase these again.

My favorite earphones

 

I have been wearing these earphones for many years and I have never found another brand or type that I like. I cannot wear earbuds that come with my IPod, so these are the next best thing. Never have had a problem with them breaking or losing sound...

Lightweight, flexible, great sound quality

Headphones break

 

"These are great headphones when they work. This is at least my 10th pair over the last 10 years because one of the earphones always quit working after 6 months to a year of use."

Great for running

headphones go bad quickly

 

I am currently purchasing my 4th pair of these SONY headphones. They are perfect for running, since they don't fall out of your ears or cause sore ears (as some in-ear phones do). And they are lightweight. My only complaint is that they wear out very...
