Summary: Complete Waste of Money
Comment: I'm completely regret buying these headphones and not listening to the advice of the other reviews who warned against them. I dont know how anyone could give these things more than one star. The cord is shaped wierd with the length of the cord going to one ear a lot longer than the cord going to other. The cord is also way way too short, luckly it comes with an extension cord which is about 5 feet long. So if you i want to strap my ipod to my neck or my ankle i'm all set, otherwise I have to deal with 3 feet of extra cord in my pocket. Also when i go to the gym the buds keep falling out of my ear when i run, basically i cant use these headphones at the gym.
Well, atleast when cord starts to deteriate in a few months (see other reviews) I'll know not to buy another pair.

Summary: Amazing headphones..
Comment: I have been looking for perfect headphones for my NYC subway rides for a long time. I was looking for great quality and some noise cancelation as well. And after trying so many, I have to say that these headphones are the best. They fit right inside your ear, with the soft rubbery pad blocking a lot of external noise (getting rid of car and subway noise). Very light and comfortable. Have an amazing bass, and quality is wayyyy better than most headphones I've tried. They would beat the Ipod headphones by a long margin in quality, bass and blocking external noise.
Have a nice silver carrying case, but both the headphones and external cord would not fit in it together.
Overall, Sony has done a great job and amazon have brought its price down to very affordable (most placed like Best Buy, sell these for over 50 bucks). I would highly recommend these to you all.

Summary: Poorly Engineered
Comment: I bought these when my original iPod headphones jammed in a gym locker and broke, thinking they would be an improvement. They miss being useful in the gym in many ways. The cord is very short. In addition the cords going to each individual earphone are unequal, they are not the same length where they join together. If you're going to attach it to your mp3 that attaches to your right arm it would probably be OK. However, if you attach it anywhere else it constantly gets pulled out of your ear. Because the entire wire is very short, Sony gives you an extension cord. This jack creates more weight that tends to pull the phones out of your left ear. If you jam them deep into your ear the sound is excellent. However, the moment they move a bit out, and they will, the bass diminishes considerably. I don't recomment them. In fact I feel that I threw out my money and will try to find the original iPod phones somewhere.

Summary: 1 star is pushing it
Comment: These things are garbage-Which is precisely where they ended up after I attempted to use them. The sound quality was spotty, cord cumbersome and the worst was the fact that they continuously popped out of my ears. Don't waste your money.

Summary: half way there but some unfortuneate design flaws
Comment: these have great sound and look good. For $30 instead of 50 its hard to complain to much but sony still blew it with some design issues with these. 1) the cord lining sticks to your body so the cord can tend to reduce the slack by sticking to your neck and therefore tugging the plug out of your ear. 2) the small cord is a little too small for the purpose of wearing the player on your arm and contributes to issues in the problem above. 3) it might just be certain ears but the earphones tend to ease their way out of my ear canals too frequently when I am doing activities like gardening or working out. I tried all three sizes that came with them but had the problem with every size. Basically they are high maintance in this way. I had Creative ear phones that came with my player that didn't have any of these issues, they were very condusive for working out and so forth but the sound quality was not quite up to par with the sony. overall, I wish I didn't lose my old creative headphones.
