Bought these after my 18 month old Sennheiser CX 300's gave up the ghost on one side, the temptation was to get another pair of CX 300's, but was annoyed I had to buy any more in the first place, so thought I'd give Sony a go and spend a bit less. On reading reviews, even with careful use, these portable ear phones, no matter who makes them, are definitely not objects that are going to last that long if you are active. So, manufacturers, how about making these a bit more robust, I'd pay more if I knew they would last a good innings with careful use.

On to these Sony's:
1. Generally quite flimsy, wires in particular. I hope I'm not updating this in a week saying they have broken already.
2. They fit the ears well and seem to stay in place, even better than the Sennheissers.
3. The cables are the same length, so they don't wrap around the back of your head. A good feature of the Sennheissers that I'm missing already.
4. Sound quality, definitely worse than the Sennheissers (this wasn't supposed to be a comparison review...but it appears it is now!). A little more tinny and weaker bass. However, since they sit well in the ears, I get otimum sound more often. Previously I was adjusting and reinsterting, especially during exercise, so much of the time the bass was lost while they were losing position.
5. They come with a useful cable wrap so it can be set to an optimal length, preventing snagging.
6. There appears to be less feedback through the cable. Perhaps that's a benefit of it being more flimsy?

That's about it, hope it helps someone.

Love these. The sound quality is good and the different sized ear pieces means you get a really comfy fit. Excellent value for money

Considering the price paid I consider these earphones to be a worthwhile purchase. I have used them extensively over a two week holiday period with both IPOD and with a DAB radio and find the range and sound quality to be better than expected. Dont get me wrong they are not Bose premium quality sound and the Base range is not HI FI quality but then again neither is the price. The manufacturing quality is acceptable and the overall sound is significantly better than say an original IPOD offering (guess that isnt much of a comparison). If you are looking for a middle range set of earphones at a very reasonable price then I can recommend these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny
I bought these earphones in December 2010 and now its December 2011 and they're still working perfectly. I bought these for £5 at the time and they are worth every penny!

Upon first flat listening these headphones are quiet and meek but accurate, comfortable and surprisingly durable though their appearance suggests otherwise. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing but...........
These earphones are truly amazing and very good quality, When I first opened them they felt very delicate and fragile and I thought they would stop working within a few days... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great
OK, the quality isn't great, but for the price, you are forgetting that there are loads of people who cant afford the more expensive earphones, so these are great.
