Reviews around music (4.45 of 5)

  • Good for people who prefer louder music
  • They do a good job of blocking out outside sound, the music itself sounds good, and they're comfortable.
  • As a musician, primarily a bass player, I know what music should sound like
  • These have a very reasonable bass and sound very good playing music
  • The bass does not at all sound distorted and music and podcast sound great

Reviews around price (4.06 of 5)

  • All in all, I can honestly say sony has come out on top by designing great sound quality earbuds at an amazing price point
  • then it is very hard to hear-cheap price tag-decently comfortable and have different sized
  • I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for great earbuds at a great price.
  • Worth the price but does tangle together easily at times
  • There might be greater sounding headphones at more expensive prices but these ones are worth more than the price.

Reviews around product (4.01 of 5)

  • Thought that the product was amazing when I first got it, amazing sound and noise blockage
  • but I just accidentally put my headphones in the washer and they still sound the same this is a great product that I would highly recommend.
  • The grey plugs that go into the ear fall off all the time, and even though they send extras because they are aware it's a shoddy product I went through all of them in two months.
  • I have been an amazon buyer for many years and this is the first time I'm leaving a review because I must warn that this product is an absolute waste of money
  • Very impressed SonyThe back circle part is definitely showing age cracking and losing its chrome finish, im a music producer, so sometimes I get these outrageous samples and yet these headphones can handle them very good product no complaints.

Reviews around clarity (4.01 of 5)

  • These are definitely must-have earphones if you love good quality bass and appreciate clarity.
  • Good affordable headphones, decent clarity, punchy bass
  • Sound comes out at great volumes with amazing bass and clarity
  • They're the same price and have a slightly annoying issue with the irregular L/R cable lengths but the sound quality is at least 10x better than these.

Reviews around shape (2.67 of 5)

  • 100 mW# The Multi-function button serves the purpose of connect/disconnect a call as well as to play pause the music
  • They have an odd shape and are larger than any other earbuds I've used in a long time, but that's to allow for the large drivers and bass chamber to increase the bass output
  • The rubber plug grip that inserts into the phone has broken off and the sound disconnects with force against the plug, but overall the earphones work as they were on day 1
  • meh sound, big shape hurts my ears by the end of a short flight, much better for same price or less is available
  • On Amazon they are under $30 and the sound quality compared to the AKG-tuned factory set you get from Samsung in the box with the Note 9 (as good as those are for free), there is still no comparison

  • I accidentally putted in the washer for 40 min and holy crap it still works as before wtf.
  • THESE ARE CHEAP PLASTIC KNOCK-OFFS of the real thing when i had bought

Reviews around noise isolation (2.41 of 5)

  • Satisfyingly great sound, fantastic noise isolation, great bass, and the most comfortable earbuds I've ever used
  • The noise isolation is decent,and the sound quality very good.
  • The noise isolation (~not~ canceling) is excellent as these fit snugly
  • (this one don't need too much volume to sound perfect, they have suprisingly amazing noise isolation from outside) and keep it clean (remove the rubber to clean the earwax that gets into the small hole sometimes)
  • The noise isolation is decent,and the sound quality very good.

Reviews around model (2.23 of 5)

Reviews around problem (2.22 of 5)

  • In fact, the biggest problem I have is the tips fall off
  • They also deliver nice amounts of base and overall sound great, the only problem that I first encountered was that hurt my ears whenever I would smile or something but after a week or so of having them my ears have gotten used to it and no longer hurt
  • the only problem i had was the silicone tips would fall off
  • One that has good bass, good wiring, good comfort, but alas just like the last dozen headphones I've owned, it has an extremely annoying problem
  • They're the same price and have a slightly annoying issue with the irregular L/R cable lengths but the sound quality is at least 10x better than these.

Reviews around cord noise (1.95 of 5)

  • I like how the R and L are easy to see
  • and It's as strong as I first bought It
  • I prefer corded ear buds like these to bluetooth or anything with a battery, but that would eliminate the cord noise if that bothers you.
  • They're the same price and have a slightly annoying issue with the irregular L/R cable lengths but the sound quality is at least 10x better than these.
  • The cords constantly rub against my shirt, no matter how much I pin or twist them out of the way, so I ultimately hear nothing but cord noise

Reviews around bite (1.59 of 5)

  • Won't plug into my computer, randomly changes sound volume while plugged into my phone, and sometimes there's a bit of static as well
  • Almost every single time it was the same, works fine for about 4-6 months, start noticing some static and problems in one of the ears but still works fine, then requires a bit of jiggling the wire for both ears to work until finally 1 earbud breaks down completely and you have to buy a new pair
  • Not too bad, but just annoying that my ears ache a little bit.
  • The Bose earbuds are a bit more expensive some even going past $200
  • I'm always on the go and the headphone have taken a fair bit of abuse and are still hanging in well.
