I bought these 'phones on the basis of price, appearance, and brand. I knew up front that they have "extra bass" but didn't quite know how this would impact my listening experience. I listen to "classical" music: orchestra, chamber music, brass ensembles, etc. I find that the extra bass distorts the sound from what it should sound like (I'm a freelance professional trumpet player and recordist). That said, I find that if I am listening to music while sitting at my computer at work, and I don't cover my ears completely and have the volume down so I can hear if someone has come to my cubicle with a question, the extra bass sounds better than other 'phones I've used. I suspect that these 'phones were designed for the people with the loud bass thumping in their automobiles. Your mileage may differ!Read full review

The earphones are not as "bassy" as I expected them to be. I watched YouTube video reviews on the headphones and they were expressing how "bassy" they were. Excited to get them and when I tried them out I was meh about them. The sound quality is decent but if you're the type that likes hard bass these aren't the earphones you're looking for.

Got these ''refurbished'' for $20. Light weight, kind of lose fitting but very comfortable. Can wear for hours with little to no discomfort. More comfortable than my BOSE Tru Sound around ear headphones Sound is full and robust from top to bottom. Get an equalizer app and tune to your persona taste. Add some treble to bring out the highs and unless you are a bass head, bring the bass out a bit. All said, great buy, VERY happy with these all around. As Cramer would say... BUY, BUY, BUY!!!

Have owned many headphone through out the years, JBL, Skeleton candy, Panasonic ect. Always looking for the best dynamic range other than 20KHz to 20 Hz. These Sony headphones have a wide range, best I have ever found. However keep in mind that the bass is the selling point so they do have low bass so low you feel it not just hear it. Thus it can be al little freaky when listening to music it may take some time to get use to it. They arte comfortable to wear and light weight. Best of all is the price I got them really cheap on EBay. If you like to hear music and get the full spectrum of sound these are the ones for you.

These are good for the money, can handle the bass and stays around and on your ears,, the only problem that I had to correct was the bass boost button crazily has to be held in to take effect.. I put a clip on it to keep it locked in!!!! They work fine!!!!!

Indeed these have extra bass, but it's kind of artificial and can be too much at times. I like them all the same because I bought them for my guitar processor, not for cds or digital music and that's where it kind of hurts. If you want more bass buy an equalizer and other headphones. The bass in these are again, too much and equalization doesn't seen able to cut it down without hurting the sound quality. If the bass means that much to you save up and get higher quality ones.

I purchased these for use at the gym. They are lightweight even though they look heavy and sound great. I wish the bass was deeper but you would have to definitely place them ever so precisely to get a good thump. These are an upgrade to similar ones I had from Sony for a few years and totally worth it for the price.

I had the same type of headphones for 8 years. The only reason to replace them was because the foam padding around the ears became worn out and the only option was to GLUE replacement pads on -which I could have done but instead opted to get a new pair. Sound is great, mic is great, sturdy design, LONG lasting. The only downside in this day and age is that they are not wireless. However, since I only use them while sat in front of my desktop computer, that is not an issue.

Overall the headphones are good. Sound clarity and bass are decent for the price you buy them for. The only thing is after 30 minutes of use my ears started feeling a slight pain/uncomfortable. All in all, I do recommend especially if you 're on a budget and want good sound quality.

They have primo sound -- I still cannot believe how excellent these headphones sound for the price I paid! I purchased a pair of audophile 'around-the-ear' headphones a number of years ago for 3x or 4x the cost and these Sony 'phones just blow them away!!! The bass is thundering without being overly booming and the highs are clean & crisp! Best headphones I've ever owned -- yes, I'm a very happy camper!!! ::D
