Won't buy again, one ear failed after 13 months. Poor.

Failed just outside warranty

I just received your product and initial impression is very good. I would definitely recommend this item.

good sound quality

For an affordable price, the earphones give good sound, comfort, and reliability in a simple, old-school style. No need to worry about charging or connection issue. Overall, I love the product!

Good Sound, Budget-Friendly Price

I purchased these a month ago and was very disappointed. The sound quality is horrible! They don't fit properly in your ear at all.

Sony wired earbuds

Good

Don't buy this, i bought it 2 weeks ago and sound horrible

No Bass, poor sound quality

Old Sony headphones were my favourite ever. I was so happy when found new ones. And so disappointed when tried them. The shape is smaller and they fall out of my ears. The cable is thin, plastic and pathetic. And the sound is flat, bassless, quiet. Very disappointed in Sony.

Sound quality is terrible

Hope Sony always has this in stock. If other ear buds tend to pop out of your ear then these will not give you that problem. I have tried MANY ear pieces and these are the best. The cord can survive 2 years of warn.

Great for small ears

Most headphones give me a headache if I use them for more than a few minutes but these are some of the few I can use for hours and never get a headache.

They don't have a mic or in line controls and while I find the sound quality perfectly fine, it's nothing crazy. With how cheap they are I would strongly recommend this if you don't mind the lack of a mic or in line controls and especially if squishy style headphones give you a headache.

Very comfortable and sound good enough

I like this design but it has 0 bass, maybe in the future make a version2 with bass

Needs a version 2

It's match and perfectly fit in my both ear.......

Perfect and clear sound quality.

Most earbuds hurt my ears. Not these. They fit just right, as if they were molded to my ears. They sound great, and the colors are very pretty. If I have to use earbuds for over an hour, I make sure it's this kind.

My favorite earbuds

For years I have gotten earbuds shaped normally and they have only ever fallen out of my ears when I was listening to music. I got my first pair of these years ago and used them until one of them no longer played audio. I am currently on my second pair and these things last QUITE a while. They are pretty cheap and definitely worth the bang for your buck. I have a third pair as backup in case my second pair breaks as well (it's been a few years).
Hopefully Sony keeps making these earbuds because if they don't I will be in utter despair. I don't want to place anything else right near my eardrums because it looks like they will pop my eardrums. My eardrums like being whole, thanks.

The Only Earbuds to Consistently Stay in my Ears

I bought these three to four years ago. They've accidentally gone through the washer more than fifteen times, and they still work perfectly well. Very impressive. Amazing sound!!

AMAZING SOUND! AMAZING QUALITY!!!

4 years with heavy use and still going. Well worth the 500 php I spent on it. Sony make a budget wireless earbuds! I already love this product imagine how many people would buy a wireless version of this.

Great sound for the price!

Bought these to replace the earbuds that came with my ten year old Sony dictaphone (ICD-UX200). Turns out I should have taken better care of the old ones because these new ones are utter garbage in comparison. The sound is thin, the volume is low, and they're so light and tiny that it's hard to keep them from falling out of the ears. So, to other prospective buyers, please believe me when I tell you that you may as well buy the cheapest pair of earbuds you can find at your local dollar store - with a little luck they may even be better than these. And to Sony: Does this embarassing deterioration in quality only apply to your headphones or have your other products gone the same way? If so, I will obviously have to look at Olympus or Zoom or pretty much anything but Sony when the time comes to replace the old dictaphone.

Abysmal

I've been using these for over half a decade now. While they have almost no low end (sorry bassheads) you get some pretty good mid and high-end sound for what's on average only $10. They're also really loud when you want them to be, just be warned that they will leak sound. At the price it's very easy to look over its flaws, since it still delivers what you want to listen to at the end if the day. Also, I've accidentally sent these through the wash multiple times, accidentally swung them into solid concrete faster than I'd like to admit, and these hold up fantastically. Maybe the outer plastic speaker covers crack after major abuse, but they pop right back in with a little finesse. Overall fantastic quality for a low cost. Doesn't offer much other than deliver sound but you aren't buying these for anything other than to listen to music in any weather conditions.

Budget friendly, almost invincible earphones

I bought these for my child and he loves them, he told me, "they sound so real!," and, "they are way better than headphones!"

awesome for a kid

Its very good for accoustic songs. not recommended for those who are looking for loud bass, other than that the design is very good. sound quality is very good also.

Decent sound

Up until about 10 years ago, you were able to by Sony Fontopia in-ear headphones (or Panasonic equivalent) for about £10. They had good sound quality and were ideal for runners used with Sansas or iPods with a good comfortable fit in the ear. They would stay in even on a windy day. They would last for quite a few years and you could even get them with volume control. For the past few years I have unsuccessfully tried to find something similar. I thought I had finally found these and thought they may be old stock as they are not listed currently on Sony's website.
However, they are a complete waste of money. I do have a pair of Sennheiser MX375 and switching between the two highlights how poor is the sound quality of the MDR E9LP. The fit of the Sennheiser is not as good as old style fontopia, hence continued search.

Not worthy of the Sony brand

These are great for podcast, audio books and fit my ear well. The official page says "Neodymium magnet 0.53 in driver unit reproduces powerful bass sound" there is no bass of any kind just clear vocals. Not good for music, very disappointing overall .

not for music

I’ve had these earbuds for many years now and they’ve never stopped working. I’ve dropped and tangled them but they’ve never given up. These have a unique shape that is hard to find nowadays.

Great sound quality and very durable

bass and sounds are very excellent especially when jogging and listening to music!

great quality i have tested for music

I just received this via mail because my old ones was broken. Plugged them in and tried to listen to some music. Had to stop because the sound quality is too bad. 
Thought that maybe they sound better with an audio book. No. Same problem with the sound. The sound is too thin. 
My mp3 player has an equalizer so I tried to up the bass but then the earbuds started to vibrate so much I thought they were going to go to pieces. 
Can't recommend these earbuds due to low sound quality. 
Also find it surprising that a company like Sony puts its name on this.
The one star is because they look good.

Non existant bass and sounds horrible

Please stop producing bad quality items! Very cheaply made.

Horrible quality

I bought this some time ago in 2014 I don't remember. It is greeat and I still use it today!

Sounds Great

I bought this three months ago. I'm so disappointed, I always buy "clear sound" from Sony cause I don't know why, every headphones in shop are "pure bass" or "extra bass", I just want a nice neutral sound. I was so surprised, my previous model "clear sound" from Sony, the right earpiece gave way so I bought an other one (new model) and the sound is still a better quality on the previous one. This new one crackles. I thought it was me who heard badly but no, after comparison the sound is much less clear than my old Sony with only 1 optimal earpiece, the sizzle gives headache.
I'm really sad cause I tried to buy again an other one thinking I had a defective one but it's still the same problem. I bought (AGAIN) JVC "stereo" sound... I want to cry, the sound is muffled and I hear the bass more than anything. I wonder why is it so difficult to find a neutral sound ?

Want the previous model headphones

Great earphones for general use bass is decent for the price. couldn't ask for any thing more

No problems

You unleash the full potential of this earphone when you plug it in a laptop. If you're using a mobile phone better activate the phone's audio boosting features to hear the hidden quality of this earphone.

Excellent earphone if you use it with a laptop

I do not have high expectations, and up till now I was happy with low budget headphones, as they (normally) outperform factory headsets provided with new mobile phones.

This product, however, is far worse than anything else I had before. Simply not fit for any purpose. Its voice quality is characterised by the lack of any quality. No wonder they do not come with money back guarantee. It is destinded to land in the bin.
