Due to the curve of it, impossible to clamp, so the plastic will break, and it will be extremely difficult to repair, if you can at all, and personally, what good is a set of headphones if one side just annoyingly dangles to the side

Cheap plastic that made clean breaks just from the stress of jogging and being carried around IN A CASE in my backpack

Build: These do feel a little flimsy and the part that connects each cup to the headband feels like that super sketchy cheap plastic that you normally find on Chinese knockoff products

Very durable unlike the crappy plastic beats headphones

the plastic seemed cheap

Build Quality: Very cheap plastic

Overall the build quality is nice as well,not too much plastic

Why would they use such a small piece of weak plastic for something which needs to be very durable?Do not buy these!

Sadly though, like other reviews, the plastic is weak and will break if you store them incorrectly like mine

I got these headphones refurbished and when it stated "ships in clear sealed plastic

though!The joint near where the ear cups swivel with the read of the head band is made of cheap plastic

The bluetooth capability continues to function and the headphones do provide quality sound, but the plastic's inability to hold up after use cannot be ignored.

I am sad to say that although these have good sound quality and are comfortable, they are made of relatively cheap plastic

These sounded good but were constructed of cheap plastic and poorly engineered

It's made with super thin, cheap plastic

Please listen to the one star reviews here, the sound quality on these headphones is amazing and the bass is unreal, but the plastic around the earpieces is so cheap they -will- break within a year even with the most delicate care.

Only thing I didn’t like was the plastic on the side of the headphones which make it seem cheap but other than that great buy!

But I was forced to buy a cheap plastic one, just to use a knife and shave off plastic bits of the end of the cable to fit into the headphone jack

Unfortunately, the plastic that holds both earpieces onto the band is too brittle and starts cracking and breaking off in pieces

I purchased extended warrenty as a result of one of my headphone speakers snapping without ever even showing signs of weak plastic

It's made with super thin, cheap plastic

The plastic on both sides has cracked and I had to use sugru clay to keep them usable

, I've noticed a crack in the plastics where the screws are that hold the ear cup together >:(In all honesty I wouldn't buy these headphones again, they're flimsy and the connector parts are made of really weak plastics and are liable to snap or break as mine did.

Sony should be ashamed of using such cheap, hollow, and brittle plastic on premium headphones

The plastic where the screws hold the ear pieces together already cracked.

Sadly though, like other reviews, the plastic is weak and will break if you store them incorrectly like mine

The plastic that holds the headphones to the headband is extremely brittle

plastic has been broken from the headband at 2 spots and wont settle on the right ear that well anymore, had to fix the broken part with a ziptie.

Cheap quality plastic stay away

But one headphones is hanging sideways and the sharp plastic is stabbing my temple.

Plastic near the ear broke only after a couple months of use

Cheap plastic construction in the yokes cause hairline cracks to form after normal wear and tear

Build: These do feel a little flimsy and the part that connects each cup to the headband feels like that super sketchy cheap plastic that you normally find on Chinese knockoff products

Really bad plastic

Mushy almost, not like hard plastic

Cheap plastic.

The retail price is just not worth it.whole thing made off flimsy plastic and feels really cheap

They are made of cheap plastic and you are essentially GUARANTEED that they will snap and you're out of luck

Over time when you remove your headphones in this way, the plastic will crack and eventually break

Decent sound but the plastic on the ear pieces kept breaking

However, i have to say they feel a bit cheap when you hold them, too light, as most of it is hollow plastic instead of metal (only the headband is)

DO NOT BUY THESE, The earcup will spontaneously break because they are attached to the headband with cheap plastic

I promise if you are as particular and picky as I am about your music and sound, you will fall in love with these headphones

I would strongly suggest Sony add driver support for Windows 8 as well as and Windows 8.1 Home and Professional to minimize potential losses

I've owned these headphones for about a year now, and they are still as great as when I first bought them

I use these headphones with bluetooth connection to my Android phone as well as to my laptop, for phone calls and web-conferences as well as listening to music

They connected swiftly and easily to both my iphone and laptop, as well as with the included 3.5mm cord

Excellent as in top-of–the-line in their class

They sound good but are not as good as

When I went to mow, I knew it wouldn't be as effective, but I was shocked as to how much of the engine noise was cut as I mowed.

I primarily listen to Classic Rock, and the bass guitar sounds just as clear and loud as it should be

They will not break by themself as they make it seem

Bass boost s not needed in most situations

i can't very well use it to cancel the noise out and get some shut eye while listening to music; i'll have to use my headphones

I doubt I

Mine broke as I was taking them off, and it's exactly one year after I bought them, so disappointing

Sturdy (I've dropped them several times over the past year), loud and clear (when I need them to be

perfect，I like it very much
