Great headphones

Jun 1, 2007 - By Martin Hamilton (West Sussex, UK)

Just got these and they are great.. they are comfortable and the design fits very well in the ear.. they are not noise cancelling but do a great job of blocking all external sounds..

The larger drivers give well defined punchy bass and crisp top end nice top end sounds.. they are very good especially for digital music sources so are ideal for MP3 players.

They look great also.. the black and chrome finish is really nice..

The only concern I have is the cables are a little thinner than previous headphones I have had in the past.. this may not be an actual issues but I guess time will tell.

Pack comes with a classy little case and a protector to wrap the headphones in when stored..

All in all I am very impressed so far with these headphones

Great Headphones

Jun 27, 2008 - By Kai Sheldrake (West Yorkshire, England)

I was dubious about the design, after buying a pair of similar-looking Sennheiser CX 300 (which were utterly abysmal for sound quality). However, I've aleays been satisfied with Sony Headphones and I needed an upgrade of my Apple Ipod Headphones, so I took the plunge based on the review already posted.
They sound great. Solid bass and good full-spectrum sound. I listen to heavy rock mainly (Zep, Metallica, Maiden etc) and they really deliver.

Not as good as the reviews suggest!

Mar 8, 2008 - By Docbiker (London)

I bought these recently, mainly due to the good reviews on here and on other sites.

I have to say, that I know earphones are a matter of personal taste, but these, to my ear, don't have the depth or warmth of other earphones I have tried.

I've had the fortune of trying offerings from Etymotic and Shure, and funnily enough, I still think that the Creative EP-630's and Sennheiser CX300's (essentially the same earphones) are far better, especially if you like decent bass reproduction.

All of these earphones rely upon a decent seal being made between your ear and the silicon bud, but the Creative's/Sennheiser's just feel the most comfortable, seal the best and give a warmth that every other type of earphone I've tried have yet to better.

Very Impressive

Jul 13, 2008 - By Mr. T. L. Chan

I bought these from a sony shop a few months ago at a very good price.

At first I thought hmm... ok not a bad pair of earphones but nothing outstanding but over time I've really come to appreciate the quality of the sound.

Give it some playing time (maybe 30-40 hours) and you'll slowly notice an increase in midrange tone and improved balance.

Good design poor sound quality

Jul 9, 2007 - By Johan De-silva (Hampshire, UK)

Good design though sometimes irritable being so in the ear. The sound quality is sadly overrated with little midrange and clarity. Overload bass does not help. Audio Technica are possibly the best brands to look out for for under £100 otherwise you need something a bit bigger.
