 a long time satisfied, loyal user December 16, 2004

Ever since 1997, this is the only type of headphones Ive been using. They are very comfortable. Full-size headphones are too heavy for extended or portable use, too bulky to wear them while lying down, and too much like a pair of ear muffs on a warm day! Earphones, on the other hand, always giving me issues: they tend to either sliping out or too tight and uncomfortable. Quality wise, these headphones are also very solid. I've gone though three pairs since 1997. And at around 10 a pop, that's no big deal at all. I'm tempted to buy one of those new and ultra pricy earphones, but at 10 times the price of thse good old Sony, I'll stick to the old faithful.

I'll do a simple pros-and-cons here, but will summarize by saying I was highly disappointed
Pros:
Sound is excellent and rich. That's it.
Cons:
Very short cord.
Buds pop out of the ear easily, although I had no trouble with the headset falling off.
Difficult to place buds in the ear for good sound.
Biggest negative: Rough edges (casting flash) on the earbuds require the development of ear calluses--a mere minute or two caused serious discomfort. Not acceptable.
A couple of months later: After I did develop the required calluses, the band started to stretch, so they now fall off easily. Sigh.
 Nice while it lasts April 24, 2004

I went through 2 of these. Both were very nice before they blew out. They last me a little less than a year. They deliver a nice loud crisp sound especially for their small package but they don't last their lifetime which does not work for me.
Good running headphones June 18, 2005

I use these headphones for running and I have never had a problem with sweat in the ear. The fit nice and always stay on. I have had them for over a year now and I hope to keep running with them for a long time.
Horrible January 21, 2006

I used these on my iPod. I also used these for running. the sound is ok. Very little bass and kind trebly. They lasted about 6 months then stopped working all the while they kept deteriorating. The cord is very thin and very weak. I stepped on it twice and the wiring became exposed. The cord ultimately looked like an electrical taped mess. The left channel stopped working after 6 months. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone who is going to use these for working out in any way. I suppose they are fine for commuting or general use.
