 Good in many ways....awful in others!! August 14, 2008
I should have loved these headphones, I got used to using iPod headphones and lets be honest, their not the greatest in headphone technology!! But, having spent my 19.99 I was expecting a good sound, nothing life changing but I was expecting something really good. The problem I found was that they just didn't fit that well. The sounds was ok, when I pushed these headphones into my ear the sound was great. The bass was defined and the treble was clear. The mid range bass seemed a little lost in these headphones but thats to be expected I suppose.
But, really, I dont think I have exceptionally shaped ears or anything particularly odd in the shape of my ear. These headphones had three different sized ends and they none of them seemed to fit very well. The middle sized ones were the best but once I had them in they didnt stay in very long. They fell out all them time and when they did fall out the ends would fall off. So I was left with very average sounding headphones that didnt fit particularly well and the ends fell off all the time which meant I was constantly leaning over picking them up because its not cheap to buy new ones!!
I'm sure if they fit you these would be quite good headphones but even then I think I would recommend looking at others first. For me....well I think I might go back to my old iPod headphones, they dont cost any extra and the sounds pretty good, even without the extra piece in your ear they stay in pretty well!!
Great sound but can be annoying July 19, 2008
I've had these for about 3 years, when one pair seemed to melt, sony sent me a new pair free, and this has been fine for a long time.
The sound is outstanding, and unlik other brands of in-ear headphones, seem to be good quality for their smaller price. SMall prices aren't what i usually associate with sony, but their products very rarely break on me.
However, the cord for the headphones when in your ears reaches down to about your chest. They solve this by giving u an extension cord. WHY NOT JUST MAKE THE ORIGINAL THING LONG ENOUGH??.
The main problem with this is the part where the 2 pieces join, weighs down and pulls on the ear-pieces, unless u put it over the top of one part of clothing. you can't really run with them in either, and u can't clip them down. i've put up with them until now, but u don't see hte cord in it's pictures.
im going to go for the mdr-ex32 as they don't have that problem.
it's stupid, and i dont see who could reach their trouser pockets with it.
 Awful July 4, 2008

Sent these back - I read the mediocre reviews of Apple's own earphones for the iPod and thought these would be better. Trying any of the three adaptors made no difference. Had to turn the volume right up to hear anything.
 Great sound at a great price, only problem is the earbuds, which harden with age, but replacements can be found. July 1, 2008
Have had mine for about 6 months now, never had any problems with them until about a couple of days ago, when one earphone (the right one) went really quiet.
Was looking on here (where I bought them) to see about returns, and if others had the same experience as me, and read about the earwax getting stuck inside them and this seriously cured it. The only other problem I have had with them is the rubber parts that go into your ear getting harder with age, and difficult to put in, so I ordered a new set of these in the large size, which after trying all of them, I found to be the best for me.
I use these headphones in all sorts of different weather, doing sports, and for at least 2 hours every day, quite often more than this.
Sound quality is great, and these have lasted me longer than any other headphones I have used, and would recommend them to anyone looking for some earphones around this price, as they function well, although the cord is rather long or too short, but this is manageable because the sound is so good.
Overall a great product, 20 well spent
 Good sound but easily broken June 16, 2008

I'm on my third pair of these Sony earphones. The first pair lasted quite some time and were very good value for money. The second pair not so long and today, my third pair has stopped played music in one ear having only owned them since January 2008 and they have not been abused. Therefore, although these earphones provide pretty good sound, I'd have to say that the recent two products have not represented value for money.
