Reviews around battery life (4.29 of 5)

  • Great sound and long battery life but the plastic for the piece that holes the band to the hear pieces cracks under normal wear.
  • Excellent battery life and amazing sound quality with or without the bass boost function, without everything is nice and crisp no distortion even all the way turned up and stupid loud, turn on the bass boost and everything just gets even better
  • Battery life is pretty good and comfort is very nice as well
  • n’t break again, and a big thanks to Sony for standing by their products!TL

Reviews around product (3.12 of 5)

  • Overall this is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a pair of headphones with a ton of base.
  • Sony did offer a discount on a new pair of headphones, but it's hard to feel good about giving them more money after they refused to replace their shoddy product.
  • As so many have said, this product is made with extremely cheap products
  • Sony makes such good products you can't go wrong when purchasing their product.
  • Great product, sound really great excelent bass and perfect noise cancellation

Reviews around review (2.21 of 5)

  • With all the bad reviews I would still recommend these headphones to anyone, I think they
  • They apologized and offered their email address so they could help people out, so rather than leave a negative review, I contacted them, attaching my receipt and a photo of the broken headphones.
  • Apparently my first review was not cleared so I will keep leaving negative reviews until they show up.
  • As I look back at this past year, Sony hasn't done a thing but censor all the complaints and make popular reviews get happy endings
  • Apparently my first review was not cleared so I will keep leaving negative reviews until they show up.

Reviews around piece (2.18 of 5)

  • Cell phones, cars, macbooks, they're all made out of aluminum, and none has a thin, extended piece vulnerable to breaking, especially a piece that by definition will have to be stretched/pulled apart to fit these headphones over one's head
  • I recomend taking off the earpads and cleaning out any small pieces of hair that are on the driver
  • There were Bluetooth connectivity problems ( i may have got a defective piece )
  • It is a cheap piece of plastic that the ear piece swivels on.
  • The foam isn't the softest I have had on but are still well made enough to have very long wear.

Reviews around way (2.13 of 5)

  • They sound great, the battery last a really long time, and the bass mode is ridiculous in an awesome way
  • There are other headphones that not only sound better, but are cheaper and won't break nearly as often as this pair does
  • I have been very careful with my headphones and still keep them in the box when I'm not using them (the last ones I had lasted me 5 years), but they bent the wrong way with no effort while I was taking them off of my head
  • If yours do break, ~2" black gaffers tape is by far the best way I've found to repair them
  • Excellent battery life and amazing sound quality with or without the bass boost function, without everything is nice and crisp no distortion even all the way turned up and stupid loud, turn on the bass boost and everything just gets even better

Reviews around time (2.05 of 5)

  • But the headphones cannot be collapsed, and the first time I dropped them on thick carpet mind you, they broke
  • They don't sound bad, but if you don't want enhanced sounding bass all the time these aren't for you.
  • First time these headphones lasted me awhile, after maybe 6 or 7 months they broke around the swivel mechanism on the headphone
  • they last about 6 months each time with light use and still break
  • Right about week 2 I no longer had to adjust the cans, the foam formed to my head, and that allowed for a very noise free listening experience.

Reviews around arm (1.38 of 5)

  • Cheap plastic arm snapped in two places when putting them on
  • Regardless of the reason, this is also a flex point, as tension will be placed on this hollowed out arm every time that you spread the headphones to put them on your head
