Impressive audio and guaranteed comfort

As I said they are a really great pair of headphones, mostly for the cheaper price compared to competition (less than $100 now). Even if nobody of you haven't found a solution for the missing aftersales' replacements from Sony itself, I found few original cables on eBay. Obviously they won't be so cheap, but if anyone can't do without it, there you'll find what you're searching for. PS: try to look for new compatible audio pavilions' leather on AliExpress or Etsy

Fantastic headphones but shoddy quality

I had the wireless version of these headphones for two years and LOVED them but decided to buy these because bluetooth that close to my brain makes me nervous. (I had a tumor removed from my brain many years ago and am very conscious of this.) I was VERY disappointed this morning when on my commute the left side sound crapped out. I ordered these not even three months ago, and they are already garbage. Not a happy customer.

Headphone cable stopped working but fixed!

The headphones are great but the cord started to stop working on one side and I had to move it to get the other side working. Was going to give up but I found a replacement cord on amazon and now it works perfectly. Better then before. Search Amazon for the headphone name and you will find a new cable!

Good deal!

These headphones are amazing. The sound quality is really great. I had these headphones since 2016, and 3 years later, I still used them every single day in the office for several hours. The comfort is great. Be careful with the headband, they don't stretch out to wide, I broke mines, and have to glue them. My wife gave me the Hear.on 2 Wireless, So I'm going to left these ones at home, but I will appreciate if Sony sells me the earpads, because are really damaged. But overall, Awesome. You can not go wrong with these ones.

High quality audio

I've had these for over 2 years now and they've been with me around the world. Stowing them and carrying them around I've never had break on me like all the other reviewers have compained about. For such compact over-ear cans they have amazing sound. A friend of mine has a collection of headphones ranging from $500-$2k and after comparing them these are easily the best wired pair for its price range.

After 2 years of use...

I bought these headphones 2 years ago in Tokyo, Japan. These are by far the best headphones I've ever had. I'm clueless to why it is getting such negative reviews... These sound awesome and are super comfortable! The padding is awesome and I never have head fatigue after long usage :) I'm writing this review as a thank you since I'm buying the new wireless sony's tomorrow :o

Earpads already damaged after moderate use

Bought these in Bangkok and was initially pleased with sound quality and portability. After a couple of months of moderate and careful use, the earpads however are already damaged and have started to peel. These were not cheap and I am disappointed in the shoddy quality. Trying to source replacement pads is also proving very difficult. Sony does not seem to list them on their website.

Terrible build quality

With light use the plastic casing on the right side broke and the headphones are almost unusable

Sound cutting out on one side

Basically had issues with sound only on one side right away, but I just needed to jiggle to cord and it would right itself. Now 6 months in, its really just the one side that has sound. This was my first pair of expensive headphones and am really disappointed.

Crapped out after a year.

Got a pair for Christmas, 2016, and they quit after a year and 1 week! Sound now only from one side. I got this set because I use my 5 year old Pioneer set for exercising and they're getting pretty ratty, but still work perfectly. This Sony pair lasted just through the one year warranty period....naturally.

Great sound but broke quickly

When I bought these I was super impressed. They look great and sound even better. But they soon started to malfunction. Sound cutting out from ear to ear and intermittent muffled sound. Can't really use them now. Not the first time this has happened with Sony headphones, so I guess I won't be replacing them. And they started to break two weeks out of the 3 mth warranty... of course!

Stylish design and great choice of colours

I bought it a month ago. Great sound, clear high, decent bass and treble balance. They are light in weight and fit perfectly over my ears. A bit too expensive for a cord headphone but i’m very satisfied with my purchase.

Quality for life

I've been using this headphones for two years now and I use it mainly for video editing. It's great for listening to music and it has the right amount of bass for video editing. Sound quality is still as great as when I bought it.

Decent pair of cans

First of all, for those who favors bass in their cans should probably not get these as they are not emphasized on bass. getting a hi-res headphone would also mean you're going to use some space for FLAC format songs and a good DAC/AMP to use the headphone to its full potential. Sound As mentioned before, the bass is probably not good enough for some, but its like-able. I hooked this headphone up for some of my favorite musics. Sometimes when there is too much sounds in the music, it would lack mid-range. Compared to some headphones of the same price range, the high-ends does not hurt my ears. The sound-stage is good for casual listening. Build quality The first thing I noticed about the H.ear on was the smoothness. It is as smooth as it looks, kudos to Sony for this. Even though they are made of plastics, they don't feel cheap at all. These sits comfortably around my ears even though I wear glasses. I wore the headphone for prolonged hours and it was so light that it didn't really feel like I was wearing any. Though, I wish the padding that rests on your head was a little bit softer. Future improvement I do hope that these comes with more cable, longer ones for instance. different type of ear cups as an option, as well. In short, Pros: -Excellent sound when paired with Hi-res compatibles -Comfortable around the ears -Great build quality, could be better -Light-weighted and can be worn for prolonged hours Cons: -Needs more accessory -Pricy -"Muddy" mid-range when theres too much sounds in your music

Good headphones

These have some good clarity, but the bass is lacking. Thought it would have better bass since it supports 5hz - 60khz, but anything below 30hz starts to fade... But the comfort is real good, i can wear these for hours and not feel sore, though the noise isolation is not that good, but i usually use these at home so its not a problem for me. Overall a good product =)

My Review for h.ear on

I believe in your sound quality, so I am now your ? I hope your price can be a little lower, because I bought this wired headset and wireless Bluetooth headset price difference too much. Bluetooth headset is too expensive, many people stop at this level.

h.ear great sound!

By AlexanderAJR

These are the h.ear on headphones that are due to be released for sale this weekend. Honestly, I've never had a pair of headphones that have actually fit my head before, yet these do (without falling off). The noise cancelling is literally, deaf to everything outside of them. Build quality wise, it's like Sony have corrected everything they did wrong over the past 10 years. Now I just need to wait a little longer while some Hi-Res audio completes downloading and then I can put them through th...
