Best in-ear headphones for the price!

Pros: Good sound, goo value, nice fit+finish

Cons: Too many other competitors when at regular price

Very compact body, so as long as one of the provided three sizes of silicone earpieces fit, they should be comfortable for most people. Good clear, tonally balanced sound. Doesn't resolve as much detail as higher-end on/over-ear headphones, but unless doing a back-to-back test in a quiet environment you wont notice. Oh, speaking of which, these are pretty effective at blocking outside noise, but you do get a little 'cord rub' noise sometimes depending on clothing. I only deducted one star for reliability because of the thin wire; I don't expect any issues as I'm very careful with all my headphones, but remember it's just thin strands of copper like all earbuds, treat it with care and it should last just fine. Overall an exceptionally good value for the sale price I paid. The velour pouch and cordwinder are nice 'premium' touches.

Alright

Pros: Good sound quality, somewhat comfortable

Cons: Not very durable

I got these headphones for to replace some headphones that had stopped working and I was pretty content with the sound that these headphones delivered. They have good bass but is not overpowering and they do some noise cancelling so you don't have to turn the volume all the way up when in a crowded place. Overall I thought they were good the only problem I had was that after 7 months of usage the left earbud stopped working and also the paint started to chip off, other than that they are a good pair of headphones comfortable and good sound, but you could spend 30 dollars more and get the far superior image s4s

A little overprice

Pros: Light weight, good design, never fall out

Cons: price

This headphone last around 5 months, then the sound starts fading. Under normal usage, I would expect at least 6 months lifespan..So yeah, I wouldn't complaint if this earbuds was under $30. I guess you pay extra for the brand right? Anyways, it's a fine earbuds while it last.

disappointing, but still good

Pros: Sound, low profie

Cons: Leakage, fit

These are really good headphones. They sound good, but they let sound wander out and wander in a little too easily. I tried them out on a plane, but I had to go back to my bumpin' buds (also by Sony, discontinued) if I wanted to do any real listening. The bass level wasn't as high as I had hoped, especially for $40. They keep a really low profile, they don't stick out that much from my head (as in picture), but the chord makes a little too much noise against my clothing. The setup of the wires (around the back) makes it easy to yank the bud out of your left ear. Good chord length. One downside is I have a whole bunch of those extra rubber things that go in your ear rolling around the house. They fall off every two weeks or so. Be sure to keep track of them. Overall, I feel like I paid the premium price just for the design. A little disappointing.

"Brilliant"

Pros: Good Sound, light weight, Comfortable and Stlyish

I've owned these headphones for a long time and they are excellent, clear sound and they can cancel small amounts of noise well worth its price.

Best EarBuds Ever!!!!

Pros: Made for Small ears as well as normal

Cons: NONE!

I bought a pair of these when I was in Brussels. I just happened to e looking for earbuds....AGAIN! I could never, (and I do mean never), find earbuds to fit in my ears that would fit in my ears. I have very small ears. I saw these earbuds, bought them and thought that I had died and gone to heaven! I have had since 2009. Tonight, I thought I had lost them an freaked out. Thank God, I found them! However, I do not want to go through that again, so I just ordered another pair of them. Additionally, the sound and quality of these earphones if fantastic. I highly recommend them! I can not survive without them!!!!!!!!
