Summary: Best in the market
Review: If you are looking for the best ear-bud type headphones look no further. This is as good as it gets. I've owned a pair for about 6-7 months now... and they are all that and then some.
I am a college student and I never leave my dorm without music. It is true, they do a great job at blocking outside noise, which is great for riding buses and taking the subway. They also deliver the best bass that I have heard coming out of any headphones. Due to the noise blocking, even the slightest sounds are heard, and because they are so light-weight you often forget they are in your ear and get the feeling that the music is coming from all around you. I have never had them fall out of my ears spontaneously, and the 3 sizes of buds that it comes with makes it fit any ear.
Some reviews talk about the stetoscope-like noise that you get when the wires dangle agains the shirt. Yes, you do get some unwanted noise, but what I discovered is that it's not the noise of the collision that is transmited through the wire, but rather it's the wire moving the earbuds in your ear that cause unwanted vibration. This can be avoided most of the time by just tucking the wires under the shirt or securing them so that they dont dangle agains the body.
The only con that I can think of is the fact that the headphone cord is too short. I am 6'2" and I have to use the extension which makes the wire a little too heavy and causes it to dangle too much. I wish they would have made it half a foot longer so that it could reach inside a pocket. Other then that...it's all golden
I will never buy any other headphones as long as they make these

Summary: Sony Earphones
Review: These earbuds are definitely a step up from the stock Ipod earphones. They are very comfortable and stay in your ears, and the sound is very good. However, the cord design is very frustrating. The cord connected to the earphones is too short to put the ipod in your pocket comfortably, and the extension cord makes it too long. The cord tends to catch in everything from the car door to knobs on the cabinets.

Summary: great quality
Review: these headphones are a really great buy for the quality, and the ear bud design stays in my ear and i forget about them in minutes. The sound quality is great and odd cord length is due to that some people might have remote controls to connect thses too, i think. The case is awkward but the bottom line that these are a great buy
