I was surprised with the sound quality of these headphones. The bass is deep. In this price range they are the best.
My only problem with these is that they feel kind of fragile, especially when you folding them. Sony shoud use more sturdy material and thicker cables. I really loved the double headband, which is great for those who exercise. Overall it is a great product from Sony.

The sound quality on these headphones is pretty much what you would expect from Sony for this price, i.e., not spectacular but good treble, slightly less good bass. To be honest, if you're jogging, you'd hardly notice unless you're used to awesome sound all the time.
My only problem with these is the problem with all stiff-headband headphones; if you have a small electronic device (MD or MP3 player) the headphones can't be crammed wherever you put the device (unless you're willing to break your new headphones, which I negligently have done).
So, good for the sound, not as portable as the playing devices of the 21st century.

I have a Sandisk MP3 Player, the classic, not sansa, I was happy with the included headphones until i tried it with a friends Sony vertical-in-ear headphones, it totally rocks!!

The but is this, after 2 months on continous use, the right earpiece has a hiss-like sound with strong bass, the sound is similar to a plastic bag being squeezed in your hand, that maked me keep the volume low.

This is a great headphones for the price, i recently bought the SENNHEISER PX-10 it has a LITTLE less bass than this one (nothing that a system with EQ can?t fix), but the overall sound experience is better.

I use these headphones with my iPod Shuffle. They're really comfortable, they don't slip at all, and the sound is great. They fold up, too, which is another great feature.

but not spectacular sound. I use with MP3 so there's not a lot of power going to these phones. Yes, very light but seem better made than most. If decent phones can be had for $8.00, maybe save some bucks. I like: folding, light, comfortable, and look pretty cool too.

After only two weeks use (on and off, for no more than an hour each time), the left speaker went out... many Sony headbands do this, but two weeks??!! In short, it's cheap quality.
