Summary: Use the Sponge Thingys
Review: Had these for a few months before opening the package and trying them on. First tried to use the buds as they were packed - without the little spongy covers over the buds - and was totally disappointed with a loose fit, weak midrange, scratchy treble, and almost no bass whatsoever.

Finally got the brilliant idea of putting the covers on and giving them one last try ... Wha?!?! Were these the same phones? The buds fit much better in my ears and I had a totally different experience with great mids, good treble, and very decent bass.

These earbuds won't change your life but they'll make your MUNI commute more pleasant by allowing you to block out the miscellaneous grunts and chirps made by your fellow transit commuters.

Just remember to use the sponge thingys.

Summary: They really are the best
Review: I always use ear-bud headphones when walking, for some reason the over-the-ear headphones give me headaches. So I've always also just assumed that I'd never have clear sound. No more! These headphones are wonderful.

The range of music I like is very much varied. These sound great for all types, and most surprisingly is their ability to handle resonant bass in some newer songs. I'm really amazed, actually. It's weird having sound that's as good as a nice stereo when you're walking the dog.

One setback is that I need to use the foam covers because the plastic buds along fall out of my ears at the slightest tug of the cable. It's a setback for me. Maybe my ears are getting bigger as I get older? This has never been an issue. Regardless, it's a tiny fault for the best, cheapest headphones I've ever bought.

Summary: Overall, a great pair of earbuds
Review: I bought a CD player and decided to go ahead and get a pair of earbuds with it. I picked these and I must say, when I got them I was really impressed. They came in this neat handy case that you could swivel and it would roll up the cord for you, they looked cool and sounded just awesome. But I don't know if it is just me, but it is really hard to get the things to fit snugly in my ear. They keep wanting to slide away. It did come with some foam covers, and they helped a little. Still, other than that, these are around the best earbuds I've ever tried.

Summary: The Absolute Best
Review: I bought these earbuds for my husband a couple of years ago as part of a birthday present. He always loved them and insisted that they were the most comfortable earbuds he had ever used (and he had been through a number of pairs). I was happy that he was happy with them, but I was definetely a headphones person myself. I hated earbuds. Until my headphones died.

My husband lent me his Sony Sport Earbuds to take to the gym with me in the morning. I was skeptical, but tried them out. I was immediately hooked! They were sooo comfortable! They fit well, never came out, and never made my ears hurt. They also provided plenty of good, clear sound. The carrying case was also a neat bonus that let me stick them easily into my pocket without dangling cords or knots. The case also helps to keep the internal wire from breaking, something common with headphones that have the wires wrapped around them. I started taking my husband's earbuds so often, that I had to get my own pair.

We both own these earbuds now and are just thrilled with them. They have been great and very long wearing. In fact, my husband's are about three years old now. Get these earbuds, you won't regret it.

Summary: The search is over!
Review: I use headphones on airplanes, in the gym, and--alas--I often sleep with them. Have tried many products, but none as happily as these. They were clearly designed by someone who was aware of the direction of the human ear canal, are comfortable, low profile, and have great sound. They also come in a wonderfully useful little storage case to keep you from losing the bud covers in pocket or briefcase.

Review: I've used many other Earbud Headphones, but once again Sony beats them all. These are durable, yet flexible, and they stand up to all environments.
