I've been using this pair of headphones for a year now and I have mostly good things to say about it. Here is my review:
*PROS*
For $59.90, it has a very powerful sound quality. The bass in this headphones gives that deep low sound that is just amazing when you are listening to Rock, Rap and EDM music. Whenever I want to listen to new songs, I put my headphones on so I can get to hear the best version of a song. The in-line remote is very handy as I can easily play/pause or change a song. The in-line microphone is very clear and picks up very ...

the sound is really good in quality, especially sound in base, I use it everyday as it is quite convenient. But one of the thing is that is is a bit heavy, it makes my neck hurt sometimes, would recommend to people who does not want to buy a too expensive one. I like how it looks, it's with a simple and modern design which I loves it. The price is also very reasonable.

A great set of headphones at an excellent price! We use them all the time to listen to records and also when playing our digital piano. Have found the sound to be good across various genres of music from heavy to laidback stuff and the bass is particularly impressive. They fit well and the quality is what you would expect from a Sony product.

I have been using this headphones for around a year now, and it has became an essential part of my travelling. The noise quality is very good. Also, it is very comfortable to wear. However, sweating at the area under the headphones been the biggest problem for me about this headphones. Other than that it is been a great pair of the headphones.

These are perfect headphones for my teenager, the price is good and the cords seem to be durable enough not to snap after a couple of months. The sounds quality is great and they are really built to last. They are comfortable on the ears and no issues using them at all.

I love these headphones, they are very comfortable on the ears, they do not pull and sit on the ears nice and snug. I do not get tired of wearing them for a long time and I cannot feel that they are pulling down with their weight. The quality of the sound is good, however, I am not sure if they have any noise canceling capabilities. I would recommend them.

I did some research online before buying these headphones, however, when I went o JB HiFi the range was very good and I could talk to a consultant there and selected eactly what I needed. I like that these are very durable and also very comfortable on my ears, they have a good sound as well and no disturbances. I would gladly recommend them.

I bought these mid-range headphones for my 9-year-old son who likes to play Roblox and watch you-tube. He keeps using phone compatible headphones for a long time and the cords always used to snap and break within a matter of a couple of months. These are more durable and will not break that easily. They are also very comfortable the way they sit on his ears.

These lovely mid range Sony headphones really suit me. I wear headphones a lot so physical comfort is important to me and these are very light which is good. Sound quality is a nice blend and tuning is not to much empasis n bass which is good as it can get a bit tedious. They are Sony quality so I expect many years use.

I did a lot of research before buying these from JB HI-Fi on sale for $69. There were plenty reviews rating them 4 stars. I like the style of these headphones and the idea that you can choose your colour. I got the blue colour, as I wanted something a little different from traditional black. The sound quality in these is pretty great. I like the extra base but it doesn't overpower trebble. It is pretty good at blocking outside noise though certainly is not noise cancelling. The headphones can hold flat which is a little bit of a help but they d...
Read moreo not close up so they take up a lot of space and are quite fragile things to take travelling. My other complaint with these headphones is that they are uncomfortable to wear after about 30 minutes. You get a sort of cold headache as if they are cutting off your circulation. This might just be my head? Idk I have a pretty small head so maybe not. Anyways, if you can buy them on sale then they are a good deal. At full price then maybe ide do more research and see if there are any better competitors. Edit: I have now owned these for about 4 years and they are still going strong! No cord issues as I have had with previous headphones, and they still look great. The only wear and tear is on the inside of the headphone cushion (seem is slightly open) and doesn't bother me at all. Awesome product :)- 5 reviews
Nice audio, feels nice when listening to music. The bass is the best and and has a really deep bass lines. The ear pads are really soft and comfortable to wear for a long period of time. The design of the flat cable is really clever because it prevents tangling which is quite a problem with other headphones.

good noise cancelling headset, the ear pieces kind of hurt my ears after a couple hours. so i wouldn't use it for longer than that. Which is kind of annoying when you want to sleep with them on an airplane. Ithe sound quality is really good for the price I would recommend this.
