It doesn't feel good paying this much for six bits of rubber to go on the end of your earphones (which, by the way, are useless without them). When you realise you can only comfortably use one pair of the three, that feeling turns into ear-bud rage! Especially considering that these earphones are for my mobile, so i can only use Sony's own with the unique socket. I CHALLENGE SONY TO APPLY A LITTLE BIT OF CUSTOMER SERVICE HERE!
