(5 out of 5)Excellent buy
I bought these Sony 'phones to replace/upgrade from my other Sony ones. I had MDR-E818LP Acoustic Twin Turbo ones, though a quick and cheap fix at the time, I wouldn't bother if I were you.
These new Fonotopia ones give far superior sound - excellent bass and incredible clarity even at low volume. This is enhanced by the bigger frequency range, although overall this is determined by your player (I have Zen Micro).
Extremely comfortable, perfect for those who find large or those with nodules for base (earphones) uncomfortable.
If you want decent audio quality you can really enjoy, it's really not worth going down in the Sony range beyond this point.
You'll be glad you didn't!
(5 out of 5)Buy these!
I have just started using these wonderful headphones after having used the so called wonderful(and expensive MDR-EX71`s)and they are not only miles cheaper but far better in every way.
First of all the sound is amazing after having to have my sony mp3 turned to full to get a decent volume with the MDR 71 I had to turn my mp3 down along way!
Also as a postman out in the wonderful British weather for at least 3 hours a day,these headphones stand out.
Let me explain,with the trendy expensive earbuds the rain water first drips onto the plastic covering and then goes straight into your ear resulting in you getting a very wet eardrum and in my case two ear infections,these phones cover more of the ear and I`ve not had any rain water getting into my ears.
At a fraction of the cost of the other earphones, I can afford to by two for the same price.
DO yourself a favour get these!
(5 out of 5)Cheap and very good!
My headphones broke the other week and i was looking for a good and cheap pair of Sony headphones and i found them right here on Amazon. They don't rub against your ears so when you take them off, your ears don't hurt and they don't go red. Well i wish there more headphones like this.

They come with a winder (technical term :) for winding the cord and storing the headphones. The sound output is great, plenty of volume and surprisingly they are of excelent quality alot better than im used too they have a very flexible cord made using material (i think) not plastic. I recomend them I bought them for my sister but I wish I had bought them for me!
(5 out of 5)Poor build quality
These earphone broke after three months. The left ear started
crackling then failed - the split - where the wire seperates from one
wire to each headphone is incredibly weak and does not take kindly to
continued flexing.
Next the foam ear pads that came with disintergrated. Last time I buy sony.
Objectively:
They look to be the best Sony phones of this type (sitting in your
ear) available on amazon. Sound quality is fine - I can't
complain at all. They don't mind playing the music very loud. They
stay in my ears while running and arn't uncomfortable if you use the
foam cover pads that came it - otherwise they rub to the point of
being sore - your mileage may vary on this point.
Cord is the same thickness as the plastic cables, but is covered in a
material - doesn't feel cold on your neck. It looks to be about 1.5
meters long. It is the type where one cable goes behind your neck to
the other ear. You get a wind up case with the phones.
If you want some phones for home listening look at any Grado or the
higher end Sennheiser - vented models. Because bigger models like
these have large drivers and sit away from your ears, you
automatically get more bass.
If you want a pair of cheap in-ear phones that are fine - these are
they - just beware of the cheap build quality that comes with it.
