5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing deal, January 12, 2008

This review is from: Sony Ericsson Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-70 (Wireless Phone Accessory)

The HPM-70's are FAR cheaper than their siblings on Amazon, even the lower siblings such as the HPM-65, probably because these are OEM, meaning they don't come in the retail packaging. Ordered from SF Planet for under $10 including shipping, recieved from across the country in three days, amazing deal. They sound fantastic for the price, I'd buy them if they were $30. Cord is thin and light but seems sturdy and flexible enough. Fits comfortably, came with three sizes of earbud tips. Bass is unexpectedly strong, midrange is decent, upper end leaves something to be desired but then again, I'm comparing these to much more pricey headphones from Shure. Detail is good for the price, sounds moderately colored. Good for general every day listening, wish the 3.5mm cord was a little longer so I could use these as a backup for my computer.

The ear buds have a 6" cord or so with 3.5 mm male jack, comes with a cord extension that has 3.5mm female with mic and button attached, other end of the extension is the proprietary fast port connector that plugs into phone. Tested with a K790a, I'm going to get a bigger memory card and use it as an mp3 player, sound quality is almost identical to a stand alone mp3 player with these earbuds. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very standard, September 26, 2006

Sound:
These headphones are pretty standard. However they have a very good sound, bass and tweeter is very good. So if you look for a good set of earphones not very hi-tec this is a very good item for the price.

Durability:

I got these shipped with my Sony Ericsson W800 phone and I used them for about 4 months before they failed.

The right speaker just went dead. However, I noticed there was a problem with them since I got them because I had to move about the conector. So, this could be one in a million.

Fitting:

These hearphones come with three different heads for different ear sizes. I used the smallest and were very comfortable. Not too much problem to fit and they never got loose, even when I was running.

General use:

I noticed they are affected by sweat, so you don't want to have them with too much moist. The microphone always worked fine, and didn't cause too much extra noise when talking.

Warranty:

Sony warranties these for a year. So if you get them and fail, you can still get a new set from Sony withing the first year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound, but cord's a bit long, January 15, 2008

I bought this to replace the one I lost. This is the original brand, not a generic. The sound is excellent and the hands-free feature works very well (I use it in the car). As others have written, I wish the cord were much shorter. The cord to one ear is long and the one to the other ear is extra-long, which make them unwieldy. I would have also preferred that the cords to both ears be of equal length. But given the excellent sound, I see no reason to change to another brand.
