Expected better 3 Dec 2008
By Mark G
I have now had 2 pairs of these earphones and both have developed the same fault. The left earphone has lost most of its sound. I bought the first pair in July and by the end of August they had broken, Amazon to their credit, sent me a new pair and by the end of Nov they had also broken. My advice is to stay away from these and buy a different pair. They don't actually stay in the ear much better than normal earphones anyway and the sound isn't any better either, therefore there must be better options out there for the money.

Stay clear. I expected better from a company like Sony.

Got these about a fortnight ago, listen to them everyday. Sound quality excellent, bass rich. I find these phones very comfortable in the ear. When im not listening to them they are sitting around my neck, they are so light i often forget they are there. Definitely sport headphones, i have not had them fall out once! Like the fact that you can adjust where the wire comes off the loop, they come by default on the left side, but i far prefer it at the rear of the loop meaning the wire goes down my back and into my pockets, meaning no snagging.

All in all very good, the carry case they come with is a bit bulky and pointless as the headphones are rugged enough.

top kit 14 Nov 2008
these are brilliant I've had them a good while now and go running on average twice a week. they've never slipped out or become uncomfortable and the sound quality is very good, they also block out a fair amount of other noise too which means the music doesnt need to be too loud.
all in all a great pair of headphones for exercising in and good value for money in my opinion.

Most uncomfortable
The cord comes out down the back, so it tugs on your ears while you wear it. The earpieces are uncomfortable even on the smallest size. Read more
