Summary: Fantastic headphones!
Review: I bought these headphones well over a year ago from a local retailer and couldn't be happier. The price on these can't be beat!

Sound reproduction is fantastic, and the very long cord gives a free range of motion for the wearer. They are very comfortable on your head, and the provide 1/4" plug makes them compatible will all ranges of equipment. I've worn them for hours at a time and I don't have any complaints about discomfort.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for Big Heads!
Review: I bought these on the advice of Consumer Reports; they're a Best Buy as great sounding but very cheap, comparing favorably to Sennheiser 570's, at 1/6 the price.

I was exhilarated to find they fit comfortably over my ears, encasing them entirely, and were very comfortable overall. I'm 6'4, and these were the best fitting headphones I've worn in my life.

The one drawback, no volume control on the cord, which isn't a problem when listening on my computer, but a minor irritation when working out on my rowing machine.

Summary: Good Only for Listening to Audiobooks!
Review: I bought these Sony headphones after my old ones broke, they were also from Sony but a different model and I had them for years and I liked them a lot more then this model because the sound quality was a lot better. These newer headphones may be more comfortable and more attactive looking but the sound is not all that great! They are fine if listening to one of those books recorded on tape but for music I have been very disappointed with poor sound quality which is too low, goes in and out and is really annoying and I think I will have to find some new headphones with better sound quality. The fluctuating sound level isn't as noticeable when listening to an audiobook but it's very noticeable when listening to music and hopefully I can find an inexpensive headphone set that has good sound quality!

Summary: This pair breaks too easily
Review: I got this pair of headphones; less than 2 months later they broke. The sound was poor and muffled and bad cords were causing one speaker to stop working while the other kept working ok. Needless to say it was like aural agony.

Plus the hinges broke too and I handled them gently. They are so fragile you can't seaming enjoy listening to music without feeling worried about a hinge breaking. Both hynges broke. I manage to tape one back together ok; the other popped back out even when I taped it and I couldn't have it fit right anymore because the area where it broke coused the headphone to tilt when I put it on.

Got another pair later on. The same situation all over again.

A horrible piece of junk and A gigantic waste of money.

Don't buy this pair of headphones.

Summary: For the money, these headphones can't be beat
Review: I had used a pair of Grado headphones for a long time for listening to music on my computer while I worked, but they were getting old and it was time to replace them. Rather than blow $80 on another pair of Grado's, I decided to go the budget route with these headphones from Sony.

To my surprise, these sound almost as good as the Grado's on my computer. There are a few songs where the bass is muddled, but midrange and treble sounds come in clearly. The casing keeps out external noises very well, and the headphones are VERY comfortable. You can wear these things all day long without it being a bother.

I give this four stars because of the muddled bass sounds, but considering the low price this should be five stars. Unless you're using them to listen in on high-end stereo equipment, don't buy expensive headphones; get this Sony model instead and use the money you save to buy some additional music.

Summary: Comfy Headphones with Pretty Good Sound Quality
Review: I have been using this Sony headphones for more than a year now and I have no complaints. In fact, I am pleased with the quality of the sound and the comfort it provides.

Sony, in my opinion produces quality products, very much understanding human-machine interactions. And this product is yet another example of Sony's quality.

Pleasing stereo sound, light weight for the size and lenghty cable and ample soft cusioning are pluses. One obvious improvement could be cusioning the headband too. Notably the cusion padding around the ears add comfort while not sacrificing the sound quality.

Good product for the price. Go for it, ofcourse, if you are not considering Bose at this time. :-)

Summary: Great, for the price
Review: I have been using this specific set of CD-series headphones for years and am just now making an upgrade to a higher-end set. For those years I was perfectly happy with these phones. They delivered a solid quality for an excellent price. I could wear them for long periods - 12+ hours - with little to no discomfort. They are, however, quite light and can fall off of a surface if the cord is left unchecked. The cord is also vulnerable to damage both externally and inside the phones (as I recently discovered). However, there are plenty of more expensive headphones that have these same failings without the quality delivered so they are certainly worth the minimal price. By no means are these an audiophile's headphones but for the price you will probably find no better.

Summary: Very Good Buy
Review: I have had my headphones for a little over one year and I have been very pleased with them. They are reasonably priced, lightweight, comfortable, durable and they deliver quality sound.

Summary: These are a Consumer reports "Best Buy" for a reason.
Review: I have had these headphones for close to a year and I have not had one single problem. They are comfortable, sound phenomenal, and have a long cord that is perfect for computers. The price is the most outstanding quality; because the comfort and sound are what you would expect from a $100 pair. I have told my friends about these and they would all agree with me. Great price for an excellent set of headphones that you will not be disapointed with.
