Padded comfort

Padding in all the right places – soft ear pads and a cush headband. Whether they’re on the head for listening or around the neck in waiting, if they’re comfortable, you’ll rock’em more often.

Robust sound

Hi-Fi without the heft. The 30MM drivers push bass while neodymium, the strongest permanent magnet known to humankind, delivers crystal clear, robust sound.

Slick cord

Slick skinned with a splash of color, the flat cord on Giiq™ headphones challenges the idea that a cord is purely for function. Slide your fingers down the flat surface and tell us we’re wrong.

Smooth detail

Like a slick tire, Giiq™ phones have a smooth shape all over. Even the hinges are simplified and covered in elastomer to let the breeze fly by while also reducing hair jams. Details galore are found at every angle of this piece.

Great design, Clear audio but no Bass

first of all i need to hear the bass in all my music, these headphones let me down, but they are the coolest pair of headphones ive ever had, sound very clear, they are well built so they wont break that easy at the joints, and are very comfortable so i can play my playstation with those on for a long time, set back are that the sound leaks out so other people can hear your music too, they are a little expensive too

Great headphones for $60

Pros: great quality, cheap, sleek desigh

Cons: no travel case, no ipod control on wire, bass isnt 10/10

Amazing. I got these on sale for $49.99 and was very pleased. The bass is 9.3/10. But, I didnt buy $250 headphones with a big b on them. I bought Piiq. I also have some nice bose headphones, that i paid $350 for, I paid $60 for mine and the bass in the bose is slightly better, but in price, the SONY PIIQ is the best.

By far the best.

Pros: Sound quality,Cheap

Cons: None.

I've had these headphones for over a year now and they still work perfect. I highly suggest these headphones, they have great sound quality, and although they aren't noise canceling-you definitely can't hear anything if you turn it up loud enough :)

Sick Headphones

Pros: Design, Sound, Comfy, Flat Cord

Cons: No clicker or volume control

Very nice designs and I love the slick thin cord. A clicker and a carrying case would have been great.

Sound is just OK

Pros: Style, comfort, treble

Cons: Bass

For around $50.00 these are just alright. The sound is lacking in the bass department though the treble is A-ok. I probably wouldn't second guess them if they had at least a volume/track control on the cord. That would seal the deal with no complaints.

Ear Pads WILL deteriorate

Pros: Sound is Fine

Cons: Ear Pads may deteriorate due to long-term storage or use

After just a couple of months of use I noticed tears in the ear pads. After coming to this website and looking for a warranty, I read the owner's manual where one of the Precautions is: The ear pads may deteriorate due to long-term storage or use. I just didn't expect them to deteriorate so fast. I'll be sure to read the owners manual before buying my next headphones.

Better than Dr Dre DJ and Studio headphones

Pros: They are the best headphones I have evered used.

Cons: No mic.

They are the best set I have ever had. They have some small drivers on them but they won't disappoint you. I'm a full-time DJ and I will use them everyday. The only brand that compares is Pioneer. I had two pairs of Dre's these Sony go above and beyond the Dre's I had. If I ever need another pair of headphones I will always get the Sony PIIQ Headphones.

Worth the money

Pros: Great bass, great design, very attractive overall..

Cons: None

I received a defective pair of these headphones, with the right speaker quieter than the left. I plan to use the Warranty on it. But, I used them while playing a game, and they sound great, and they don't hurt even after wearing them for 6+ hours. I'm known for getting nice headphones at school, but these attracted the most attention and they satisfy by delivering a clear sound, with no static. (There's a bit of static when I turn my iPod all the way up, play dubstep, and turn the EQ to bass booster.) If worn well and comfortably, you won't notice that they are there.

overall a good purchase

Pros: Design, looks great, comfortable

Cons: I have adjust the headband every time I wear them to ensure they stay on

I have had previous headphones with much excellent sound quality -but, they were expensive and after a while hurt my ears. I was disappointed at first with these headphones because I kept comparing them with my old ones -but overall I can say they are a good purchase; the sound is good.

Honestly. These have got to be the best headphones I have had. I haven't had them long but love the design and sound quality. Good power and bass. Better than Apple earbuds anyday! You want a good set of headphones, get these!

Pros: very comfortable

Cons: may not stand up to travel

Earbuds keep falling out of my ears and are very uncomfortable. I love the combination of comfort and the sound quality is pretty good too. Better than the earbuds, that's for sure, but the for the price, I thought and the name, I thought the sound would be even better

AMAZING SOUND FOR 49.99

Pros: Comfortable, AMAZING Sound, Stylish

Cons: Not quite enough bass

I got these headphones as a gift and I LOVE them. They sound great, look great, and as a matter of fact I am wearing them right now. I am a teenager so I listen to a lot of Pop, Rap, and Hip-Hop. The sound is outstanding and everything is more clear. I had skullcandy earphones before and i like these SO much better. I just wish the had a little more bass but I put the EQ on my iPod to bass booster and it makes a big difference. I love the look of these headphones, they are durable, and the cord is flat so for the past month that I have been using them they havn't tangled ONCE! These are a great pair of headphones for the price so if you don't want to spend a lot of money for a decent pair of headphones, GET THESE!

Very Interesting

Pros: Good sound, nice design, more comfortable than other headphones

Cons: Didnt expect the cord to be so PINK!

I really like the Giiq headphones, The fabric housing does help with outside noise as well as comfort, I like the cloth padding at the top of the headphones making wearing them for long periods of time more comfortable. The pink cord caught me by surprise, i would have hoped Sony would show that in the picture or give us a choice of cord colors. Sound is good, good bass driving. I also use for gaming. It really picks up the details in the game. All in all, a nice set of headphones, good sound, good in comfort.

great buy

Pros: excellent sound quality, jack seems sturdy

Cons: design

they sound as good or better than any other headphones youll find for the price. outstanding range and great delivery. everything from the beatles to lil wayne sounds excellent. bass kicks without drowning out other sounds. the plug in jack seems sturdy, i dont think itll wear out anytime soon like most of my headphones/ear bud plugs do however, after wearing them for about an hour, they are making my right ear hurt a little. its not bad i hardly notice, but might be something you want to look out for. it might be because i havent broken them in yet or my heads shaped funny or i havent adjusted them right yet overall, they are good enough to make me want to write a positive review after only an hour of use =]

Unsatisfactory

Pros: Soft on the ears, plays music..

Cons: Loose (falls off easily), not properly insulated, low-quality sound

The moment I set the headphones over my ears I knew it was all wrong. They had no grip on my head, nor over my ears. They did not correctly cover my ears, resulting in gaps and unsatisfactory sound. The sound was of no better quality than the cheap pair of ear buds that I'd been using, if not worse. They might look good hanging around one's neck, but I planned on actually using them.
