    Customer Reviews:
    Poor sound quality for a high price.
    I bought these to be an upgrade over my standard iPod headphones. Unfortunately the sound is tinny and the bass is extremely weak. When I plugged my old apple headphones back into my iPod the sound came through much better. This product is a waste of money, and I'm surprised that Sony can't produce earbuds of a higher quality than Apple.

    Not as good as EX70s
    I bought a pair of these to improve my iPod, but to my ears the sound quality os not as good as for my old pair of EX70s. the bass is quieter and the trebles are louder and thinner. the midrange is good. Overall they don't seem as solid as the EX70s, and in the end now I never use them.

    Excellent
    I bought these earphones to ride my HD bike and I am delighted with the sound and how confortable they fit.
    Excellent value.

    Total Disappointment!
    I am a loyal Sony products owner and generally find their products to be superb. I bought the subject earphones specifically to use when working out with the assumption of typical satisfaction with the product. I was thoroughly disappointed. Perhaps if I were Dr Spock these things would fit my ears, but I am not, and they don't. The earpiece is flimsy and not adjustable, as a result the top is 3/8 of an inch over the top of my ear, making the device useless. My first reaction was to toss them in the wastebasket, but then decided to leave them in the cafeteria at my work. Perhaps Spock will beam by, see them there and be able to use them.

    not a fan
    Like some of the other reviewers mentioned, these are not good for people with smaller ears. The hanger that goes around the back of the ear is useless for me. I only wear these when walking to work, and I'm constantly having to shove them back in my ears. It's very annoying. Having said that, the sound quality and noise isolation are pretty good (the only reason they get 2 instead of 1 star). So if you're not using these while moving, they're fine. Hopefully there are better options though. I will be buying another pair for my commute.
