The big selling point of these good looking headphones are the quality of sound reproduction, retractable cable system and decent build quality. The earpads themselves feature a cloth overlay over the foam cup which makes it comfortable and more durable. With care, foam cups will last for years. These headphones should suit people that don't like in ear designs and particularly enjoy ease of cord management and reasonable sound quality.

In short: DO NOT BUY THESE FOR OVER $100. And no, you're not buying these for the sound. I am writing this review when the price was jacked up to $150-$200. I originally bought my pair when they were $30, and I will be basing my review off of that price. Build: For $30, they were a neat and gimmicky set of cans. I particularly enjoyed unplugging from my phone and retracting the wire all the way and resting the earphones on my neck for later use. It is really satisfying to pull the wires out and retract them, they make nice click sounds when you do. The biggest problem is that the wire is *extremely* thin, making the internals prone to snapping, which mine did. Now I have to bend the wire a particular way for sound to come out at all. However, it should be a simple solder fix. My suggestion to those who do own these headphones is to pull out more of the wire than you think neccessary. If you're tall, these are not for you, the wire is only 1 meter long and you will be needing more than that. Sound: I pluged it into my FiiO btr5 and it doesn't sound great. They are missing too much bass. They sound cold and empty. Due to the lack of bass, the highs sound too overrepresented. If you're looking for a cozy and casual listening experience, these aren't for you. If you looking for detailed listening, these aren't for you either. Read full review

These headphones are truly magnificent Sony always puts out great quality electronics and they did not miss the mark with these headphones. The sound quality is great and the retractable cords for the plug as well as the individual headphones themselves just makes it that much more convenient. No struggling with untangle cords. And since these actually wrap around your ears theirs never any worry about them falling while your walking.

Bought it because it seemed like it could work well with travel and the space constraints of carry on computer bags. Unfortunately, I found the way the earpieces interconnect and the lack of form proves to be cumbersome and difficult to put on and remove. It just is not a user friendly design. That said, if you plan the use to be wearing it for long periods of time without removing, once you get past the difficulty of putting them on, it is relatively more comfortable than the "in the ear" type. The sound quality is also fairly good. Fortunately, I didn't pay way too much for them, but, in my opinion, anything over $10-$15 is too much. Better to find another type so you won't be disappointed.
Can't say more, expect Sony quality for good price. Good value. Sound is excellent.
