Sony makes some of the best headphones. I paid a bit more for these 3 years ago, they last a long time. The foam pads fell off after two years of regular use, but I had spares from a old pair. These 'phones are made to last and unlike some of those other funky headphones they are comfortable to wear, I wear them for hours at my PC while writing papers/ doing hw. Highly recommended, even for those who like good sound. These deliver rich base, and are good for mp3 listening as well as dvd watching. In fact, for the price I just might buy a spare. A plus side with this is if you are hard on stuff or simply like to carry headphones in your backpack you don't have to worry about them--the price is so low. I hope this helps. What are you waiting for? Buy some headphones. These headphones fit into anyone's budget.

These phones are not too bad. They deliver good treble effects as well as decent bass. A prety good buy for the $$$.

Well, I needed some new headphones. I tried the UR5 from Koss. The sound quality was alright, but they could BARELY be heard. I found these, thinking Sony, would make headphones with better and louder sound. I was right.

The good news is that the sound quality is excellent. Sony headphones always seem to have more punch than other Koss, RCA, Panasonic, and other brands of headphones. The bass and treble are clear, and bass is pretty deep as other $6 headphones I've tried. I would have enjoyed the headphones that came with my player (SLSV570), but they were uncomfortable, and I mean VERY. These are pretty comfortable and lightweight, as the box explains.

The bad news is the overall durability of these headphones, which is a big minus. I've been though two of these, yet the third ones haven't broken yet at all (keeping my fingers crossed).

The price is very reasonable and very cheap, and I wouldn't have a problem buying another pair, because of their cheapness.

Overall, these headphones add a punch to your music, and the volume is loud for those quiet CD players.

Great basic headphones for the kids. Why spend more on something likely to be stepped on, yanked on, or lost?

Can't beat the sound for the price. Use mine for jogging. Used for over a year and still going strong.

The sound quality of the headphone is very good but I was very disappointed since the cable was so short (around 36 inches/ 90cm). I was struggling to hook it upto your computer and sit properly on the chair. Infact I could only use it either on a portable CD player or sitting on the floor near my PC to be able to listen music through it! Also, please note that although the headphone is of Sony brand, it is made in China and not (as I thought) Japan.

Overall conclusion: Good sound quality but very short cable. Please consider the cable length which can bother you espically when using it on your computer.

I used ReadPlease - a super program that reads back anything you past into it - to edit my novels. I enjoy the headphones because it keeps me focused. I was using the earbud styles (...)and running through them because they just too flimsily made. Plus, when you are editing for 13 hours straight having the buds in you ear begins to make me feel like I have earaches.

These are SUPER. First, Sony -- enough said. They are VERY lightweight. I often forget I have them on, so when I am going for long hours, these are so easy. They have nice long slid adjustments so they will fit any head in comfort.

But comfort means nothing if you are getting muffled or distorted sound. Not that case. I love is the deep, rich base, yet the treble is pure, too.

So these are more than worth the price, giving you real comfort and sound for pennies.

I am usually picky about my sound, and usually get the absolute best quality in my audio accesories. I never really cared for Sony, but I decided to try these headphones for the hell of it. I was suprised at the sound. It was xcellent, one of the best headphones I have evertried. they are not very expensive at all either, what a bargain!

I got this with the cd player and they broke after two weeks. They just aren't durable. Make an investment and buy good headphones that don't break.

Good sound, reasonable price. Would recommend this product to anyone who does not need an extra long cord.
