Good sound
(4 out of 5) by Lowell Edwards on Jul 23, 2009Really good sounding headphones. NB. Put the right headphone into the right ear or these will not fit correctly to give you the bass. Unlike every other headphone i've had, the quality of the bass is affected greatly if you dont put the right phone to the right ear and the left phone to the left ear. These are very good, honest ;-)

Surprisingly good
(4 out of 5) by Justin Bridge on Mar 27, 2009I'm no audiophile but i like good sound with a good base response and good highs.
I think these were better than expected and i use them for listening to CD quality tracks. You get different size ear pieces and the cable length is fine for using out and about.
I only gave them 4 stars due to lack of a carry case
Apart from that i think there are great value for money with good sound.

Christmas with too much treble!? Or maybe it's me...
(4 out of 5) by J. McCrae on Nov 8, 2009 (Cheshire England)In the run up to Christmas many people may be looking round the tinterweb for
great Christmas savings on iPods'. We all love IPods' don't we! Small, stylish,
even the scroll wheel is fun enough to keep people entertained for hours!
One thing that baffles me is people justify spending hundred's of pounds on
these wonderful gadgets, and listen to them with the dreaded included iPod
headphones! Jeremy Clarkson once said that he loves his iPod but its not as
good as seeing the band live, agreed, but you can get a damn sight nearer
by binning Apples excuses for headphones. Spending an extra 10% of the iPods price
on a respectable pair of in ear headphones will give you a listening experience
a gazillion million billion times better!
SOUND QUALITY!
One of the complaints someone had was 'the sound is flat.' The sound isn't flat, actually
it needs to be flatter. There is a bit too much treble, long listening period may
become slightly less enjoyable. I suppose the only reason Sony do this, is that most people
who buy headphones in this price bracket don't know what to look for and seem to like
an overly bright and crisp sound. They then judge products solely on the amount of bass
and treble and not even considering the mid range. I'm no audio expert but I take
enjoyment in listening to good quality audio something, I'm afraid, these Sony headphones
cant quite deliver. But don't get me wrong compared to iPod headphones they rock!
COMFORT!
10/10. Need i say no more!.....well maybe a little. Unlike with sound quality, its very hard
to make a pair of headphones that will fit everyone of all shapes and sizes perfectly.
I have no issues with them, after a while you forget they are there, leaving your free to
enjoy the music, that's if the sound quality was improved! Amazon have a return policy
so if they don't fit you properly you can just send them back and receive a full refund.
I must stress to keep the packaging for a few weeks to make absolutely sure they are right
for you!
BUILD QUALITY!
Don't expect any miracles they are only £15 headphones, the quality is fine just look after
them and they should stay in one piece =D
SUMMARY
These headphones offer a easy cheap upgrade from the nasty standard iPod headphones,
they a comfortable and offer good build quality for the price. However they are
slightly let down by the sound which is just not up to par with senn's cx300s.
This could just be me but I feel Sony need to do somthing about the treble.
For only this reason they will not be on my Christmas list this year.
Sound 7/10.... Comfort 10/10.... Build Qual' 8/10 (for price)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Poor.
(2 out of 5) by A. Ongley on Feb 1, 2009 (England)The sound quality is very bad. Its as if there is no base. The only reason this doesnt get 1 star is because they are comfortable but terrible sound quality.
Headphones
(4 out of 5) by OAK on Nov 6, 2009 (London)Headphones good to use and sound quality ok. Careful with your volume level though because it may block all outside sound completely. I like being able to adjust the length of the cable with the thing provided to secure it which also prevents twisting. Only thing is I find I have to push further to get it firm in my ear and hear the bass effect.
