1 out of 5 stars Dissapointed   May 11, 2008
These earphones have great sound quality but low volume and terrible durability/life. I look after my eletronic items very well and these lasted a week before they just stopped woking. I never played them at full volume and i only used them a few times. Sony are one of the best electronics companies and have always bought great products from them but I was extremely dissapointed with these earphones and don't recommend them to any one. My advice is to go with the Sony MDR-ED21LP Fontopia earphones, they lasted me a few years and have great sound quality.


5 out of 5 stars What a Difference!   April 13, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Looking at these reviews I see there is little "Middle ground" here. They read that these phones are either total rubbish or the best things available? I've just bought a pair and to me they sound excellent for the money. They fit and feel comfortable (once you get the correct size ear bud attached) and so far I have no issues over the cord length (or lengths when using the extension). The only thing I can say is simply that after doing a lot of research I discovered several warnings about 'Fake' copies flooding some areas of the market,these I can believe would sound like having your head up a dead bear's bum. Some eBay sellers even have negative feedback for selling these fake copies.

Despite it all, if you buy a pair of these from a reputable source, you shouldn't be dissappointed, they sound good, feel comfy and are very good value at Amazon's prices.



2 out of 5 stars Sony..... who decided a 1.5m cable was a good idea???   April 10, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

These earphones sound great and seem high quality with good deep base and great for cancelling out external noise.... look pretty cool too!!
BUT....
I cannot understand why Sony (or somebody at Sony) thought it would be a "good" idea to limit the cable to 0.5m (not long enough) and add a 1m extension cord. To that person all i can say is:

"1.5m IS FAR TOO LONG FOR A CORD YOU ABSOLUTE WALLY!!!"

Seriously.... it is really annoying me!!!

Anyone reading this who is looking for use with an IPod/MP3 player... buy the MDREX32's.... better sound and no stupid cord lengths. I'd gladdly swap my daft ones right now!!!!



1.5m IS TOO LONG



5 out of 5 stars Excellent headphones   March 20, 2008
I've had mine since 2005, used them on almost a daily basis, outside, in the gym, in every weather condition imaginable, and they have yet to show any sign of wear or reduction in sound quality. With the additional extra cable they cleverly circumvent the whole "too long-too short" issue.

The sound quality is astonishing too, considering their size. None of the traditional tinny sound - treble and, especially base, are remarkable. Crystal clear sound and good sealing of external ambient noises. Would definitely recommend.



4 out of 5 stars What headphones should be   March 18, 2008
I'm not sure what some people are moaning about, yes some songs when you listen to these sound as if they are a bit too much bass, and some people have said that the headphone leads arn't any good after a few months, I have been using the same pair of headphones for about a year, and they are still perfect, if you have inline remote control you can use these with it. I would take a look on ebay, as I purchased 12 pairs of these from a chap in china in the original sony packaging and in total, they cost me 4 each.
