3.0 out of 5 stars Wind up storage case, not retractable, December 13, 2008

By	RVRoadie (The Villages, FL) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

The product title is more than a little misleading. I was expecting a spring loaded retractable cord that takes the slack out of the cord while using them, and winds up the cord for storage. What you get is a convenient wind up case for storing the buds. It works well, just not what I expected. The product packaging doesn't contain any of the following words: Retractable, Silent, Behind the Neck. Sony refers to this product as having a Convenient Winding Case. Somebody just made up the amazon product title, not good.

4.0 out of 5 stars great sound for the price, December 29, 2008

By	G. Poirier "educator, mountain biker, camper,... (Fontana, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have some really good headphones and earphones. I own Ultimate Ears super-fi 5's and Grado SR80's. I don't know if that makes me an audiophile or not, but I *do* know what good ear/head phones sound like. These sound pretty good for the money. I use them when I work around the house or ride my bike. The UE's are too isolating and the Grado's too bulky to use other than lying down or sitting down. So, these are good to wear when active. They fit in my ear nicely and have a pretty even sound. Might be thin in the bass end of things for you, but I find they are more or less accurate with a bias toward the high end of things. They're good enough to let me know that Metallica's "Death Magnetic" has very bad sound quality. Devin Townsend sounds crisp if a bit thin in them. They have pretty good details for little earphones that cost under $20.

As another review notes, they are not "silent," "retractable" or "behind the neck." I have no idea why the product description says that. But, they are fine little 'phones for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, Inexpensive, and Great Sounding Earbuds - Highly Recommended!, March 1, 2009

By	CFH "chillnhill" (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

The "Sony MDR-E828LP Earbuds"" are very high quality for the price.

These great little earbuds provide crisp and clear sound, fit very comfortably and securely in my ears, and can be stored in nice little included wind-up case.

At under 10 bucks, these are a really good deal! Highly recommended!
