Just Sony!! Amazing sound for the money.

I have to say that the sound beats all other products out there for the money, under $100.

I have to say, I love these earphones. The sound is great the bass is 10x what my little white $40 Sony's could produce.
I work in my shop all day, and really do not have any problem with them falling out, or the ear pads falling off.

I do have to say... What the hell where they thinking when they chose the wire (stiff as and 110v extension cord), and
who the hell picked the "ghetto" jack?? the thing sticks out about 2" from my 1" MP3 player.
Can't wait till Sony comes out with a $100 set of earphones...  they will be perfect.
Thinking about ripping my Sony's apart, and swapping the Sony wire onto the Bose earphones.
That would make them a  9/10 for me.
The case sucks too... open on the ends and the wire keeps the shape when wrapping it around a square shaped case... (dumb design)

Pros:  Great sound / Awesome bass / Comfortable over LONG periods of time (6-8 hours) no soreness in ears at all

Cons:  Poor outside noise blocking / Poor wire and jack design / Kinda crappy case as well.

Overall, I give the earphone sound quality...  8 out of 10 (only an 8 because of the amount of outside noise I can hear)
The total package (case included) gets a...  7 out of 10

Step it up Bose !! The millions of hours and dollars you claim to put into R&D...
I would expect something better than a 1960's ghetto headphone sized jack.

WOW!!! Are these really supposed to be less than 40 bucks??
The sound is amazingly full, from classical to jazz to rock. Playing Elgar's Enigma Variation I could hear the distinct sound of each instrument, from the treble to bass, nothing but clean crisp sound. Chopin's piano was nothing short of heaven on these headphones. Playing some jazz saxophone, I could hear the player breath! I have never heard that in this track when I was listening to it all the previous times. Also, you can heard where each note begins and ends, even when the sax part was soft and blanketed by the accompanyment. Moving over to my favorite rock bands, again, deep bass and crisp sound.
In summary, unless you want to spend 150+ bucks on some closed and bulky headphones, you won't be able to find anything better than these headphones. And if your budget is under 50, I don't see how you can choose any other headphone.

These headphones provide one of the best sound available for the $25 price I paid.  The highs and mids and very clear and free of distortion with volume turned up.  The bass is not thumping but strong enough and very tight, not boomy.  The cord and plug is thick and solid.  The only negative on these is I wish it would isolate a bit more sound. I've compared these to other on-ear headphones and some others are better at sound isolation.

I've compared these to the Bose AE2,Marleys, and even the B&W P5.  I'd say these Sonys are only marginally worse than the P5s!! And that's likely because the P5s are more comfortable and isolate more noise.  As for sound quality, the P5s are a bit better but not by much.  Only a $270 price difference though.

I love these speakers. I am a big home theater buff and I am very pleased with the quality of the system... especially for the money... Out of the box, it definitively did NOT have the proper setting but once I adjusted all speaker levels and balance, it sounded great... It still does now. Combined with a Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi sound card, playing F.E.A.R. (or any other games for that matter) with this system is really the icing on the cake. I definitively recommend this system.

I have a Entire Sony System that is Digital and it blew out the speakers that came with the system. These New Sony Speakers are Wonderfully Great and sound is very nice!

I plan to buy more Sony Speakers for my Surround Sound system in the near future!

You'll be amazed like I am when you listen to Music, Movies, with These Sony Speakers!

These are incredible! I bought a Fiio Qi Dac and it died after 32 days, so I was out $75. I saw these for $9 on Amazon, so I ordered one. When I put these on, I was blown away by the exceptional sound quality. These can also be used on your old Sony Walkmans and boomboxes, Since it is an in-line item. They will also make your cheap headphones sound like $100 headphones. I have already ordered 3 more. Get yours while you can.

400W & THX for $100... Bar none, best bang-for-buck out there. Such good sound!

The Sony HTD-DW995 home theater system gives you alot of bang for your buck.  The speakers are compact but put out great sound.  It was easy to set up with the help of my teenage son.  I like the component system because I plan on buying a BLUE-RAY player down the road.  I can't believe how much I've missed out on while watching movies, sports, or Dr. Phil.  I would spend $1,000 or more on a system if I felt it was worth it, but I don't see that much difference.

I had wanted to get a set of these Studio 70s a while back, but the $400 price tag kept me from getting them and I settled for a set of Studio 50s.  The 50's sound very good, but lack the fullness of sound that adequate bass brings to the party.  I have a 250watt powered subwoofer that made up for much of the bass loss and for watching movies, the combination along with B&W shelf surround speakers created a very nice sound stage.  Then these Studio 70s showed up on sale and I couldn't resist.  I got the pair for $380... what a steal!  I fired them up in place of the studio 50s and was BLOWN away.  The fullness of the sound was amazing and it gave perfect clarity to the mids and highs with amazing separation.  It's like suddenly discovering a whole new level of sound.  I've heard this kind of sound before but it was coming from speakers that cost so much more that I predicted that I'd never have speakers that sounded that good.  I have been to the home of a friend who spent thousands on speakers and thousands more on amps and tuners, etc... and I sat there and let myself be absorbed into the sound.  Loud by not harsh, clear with no distortion.  I love music, but I'm not a self-styled audiophile.  I don't go around talking about the strengths and weaknesses of this amplifier or that speaker wire.  I'm just going to say, these speakers, for under $400 for the pair, put me in that same space that I was in when I was sitting in front of those thousand dollar speakers and are far better than I'd ever expected to have in my sound room.  Now the studio 50s are my surround speakers and maybe they're overkill, but I've got one kick-errr-umm "nice" home theater sound system!  btw pushin the speakers with a Denon AVR-3300 105 w/channel HT Receiver.  Enjoy!

I bought these to replace a measly 2.1 PC system and to begin my 5.1 system using a STR DN1050 receiver.

Wow, what can I say. For the absolute low price here they have some big sound.

Each speaker feels very dense and well made. Some people have said they would have preferred wood but I don't mind the material they're made of. They look fantastic with or without the grill depending on what you want and they feel very solidly built.

Next lets talk about the highs. Some have mentioned that the highs can sound very sharp and that can be the case but with a little adjusting within your receiver im sure you can get it to a tolerable level.

The thing that really surprises me is the depth of audio you get from these things. They've certainly got volume and it makes you wonder how something that compact can produce such big sound. The low end is pretty fantastic. Bear in mind I don't have a subwoofer yet and they don't compare at all to a system with one but still, when I heard the thunderous bass sections in Transformers or a bunch of Dolby demos I have, I got a big smile on my face. I could feel it in my chest which is surprising for something of its size.

Some would consider these speakers as 'entry level' and whilst they might be at this price point, they sound significantly better than Pioneer's Andrew Jones signature line which is at a comparable price and considered entry level as well, although I read that the Sony's were a fair bit dearer than them at the time of release. I would say that whether you're starting your entry into a solid home theatre system, this is exactly what you will want. For those who want to build their system once and let it be for a while too, you'll be extremely happy with these. I can see how the average person may decide to stick with these for as long as they last and I have no qualms about recommending these speakers to anybody.

The next pair of speakers I'll be looking at is the Sony SSCS8 floor-standing speakers for a louder sound in the front and will move these speakers eventually to the back of the room to serve as my surround speakers.

I know a lot of people doubt Sony's competency when it comes to their audio gear as they tend to be considered a gaming/TV company, but I think that view is both outdated and closed minded as the reviews speak for themselves. They've really knocked it out of the park with these pairs of speakers just like they're doing with their headphones currently and even their receivers. Definitely give these guys a look if you can.

best bang for the buck. i have a marley get together, denon envaya mini, bose mini and infiniti speakers, yet this sounds way better and best of all its cheaper!

I recently got two pairs of these for my surround system and also got the Sony center channel (seen above).  These little speakers put out some pretty decent audio for only $100.00 a pair. I listen to them with both 5.1 movies and for listening to my music CD's in Dolby Pro Logic II, and I'm really pleased with their performance.  I've had some old Optimus LX-5's for a few years and these little Sonys blow those away, no contest.  For a fairly nice surround system on the cheap, these will be hard to beat and by all means, if you're considering one of those home-theater-in-a-box deals, you'll get a whole lot better sound for your money with these little guys. A great value.

I got it on sale for 30 dollars and it was the best 30 dollars i have ever spent... I would even pay 100 for this because the sound quality is just amazing and the durability? hello this is sony not skullcandy....

Bought these from my mom's Prime account (cheap, I know,) but I felt compelled to write a review. I'm taking my $70.00 Sony's BACK TO KOHL'S BECAUSE THESE ARE MUCH BETTER! Love the sound, not too much bass, clear and I love the cups over my ears instead of just resting on them. I also like that the plug is detachable so it is unlikely that one ear will go out like I've had with other cans. GREAT bang for the buck!

bye bye bose. these earbuds are a steal for the money.they solved not only the vol prob on my android but the bass is solid and sound is clear. My hats off to sony for the best economical ear set on the market.

The Sound is Awesome! These earphones are the best for the money. I have others and paid much more for them but these low cost earbuds are the best. I've read some of the other reviews about how they have failed after a short period. So far mine is still working well. I surely hope they last because these I use all the time. I've purchased another pair before their gone. I wanted deep Bass sound and clear tremble which they truly deliver. My ears are very sinsitive and knows great sound, they hear the Highs and lows and the crystal clarity in a song. These are very good for the money. Yes Sony delivers Again!
