I've had this product for 3-6 months
Pros: Comfort & sound for the price
Cons: keep breaking
This is the fourth pair of these headphones I've bought. I don't know why I keep thinking the next pair will be better. I love how these headphones look and feel and the sound is pretty good for the price. However, in every pair I've owned, one of the earbuds goes out within a few months. This last pair lasted 5 months, which is nice, I suppose. Unfortunately, Sony only offers a 90 day warranty. So sadly, I am departing from being a loyal Sony customer after all these years. I will be trying out a new brand for my headphones and other electronics purchases in the future. Sorry Sony.

I have tried other sony headohones but these are a keeper. The sound quality is excellent, the cord's length can be shortened, and some outside noise is eliminated.

Pros: Great sound quality, comfortable, and reliable
Cons: Earpads keep falling off
I've owned these for a few years now and I LOVE THEM!!! When I first looked at them I thought they were too pricey, but I really wanted to try a pair of the "in-ear" style earphones and these were the cheapest around. So I splurged on them and instantly fell in love at the sound quality. They are worth every penny! I try to be careful with them, but they still spend plenty of time squashed in the bottom of my pockets, briefcase, and gym bag. Nevertheless they still work perfectly after the 2+ years that I've now had them. Unfortunately I keep losing the little earpad things so I recommend that you keep em in your case.

Pros: good fit with the ability to change inserts, good sound
Cons: do not last at all.
My roomate and I both purchased a pair of these about a month ago. They were great sounding headphones right out of the box but after about 2 weeks his left headphone quit working. Mine quit after about 3 to 4 weeks. Since neither of us keep receipts we cannot get warranties on these, and it it would not be worth the amount it would cost in time and money to ship them back to Sony. Very unsatisfactory with the experience should have saved the money.

Pros: Nice style, small and comfortable, many sized ear peaices, great stereo quality.
Cons: Are you crazy, there are none.
The bass response of these small but powerful ear buds is overwhelming, the highs and mids are crisp and clear. These ear buds are a definite must have. I thought that you could only get this quality from a higher price and better brand name, but these are amazing!

Pros: sounds phenomenal, great bass, keeps out sound, pretty much everything
Cons: the rubber ends come off sometime, but you get 3 pairs
These headphones are definitely the best that i have used, and trust me i have been through a BUNCH of headphones. They feel great, sound great, and they don't cost very much compared to other headphones. I know that my brother has a pair of $200 over-the-ear headphones, and these headphones are just as good, if not better, than his. I totally recommend buying these!

Pros: Great audio quality with deep bass
Cons: Terrible build quality, you lose left or right channel after a couple months of use.
I've purchased 6 different pairs of these ear buds over the last 18 months to use on my iPod Classic. I love the sound of these ear buds but the build quality is terrible. In every pair of ear buds I have lost one of the channels, usually the right channel. This occurs after a couple of months of use. There seems to be a severe design defect in these ear buds, especially at the junciton where the left and right wire for the ear buds meet. So as I said above, while I recommend them based on sound quality I give them extremely low marks on build quality.

Pros: great earbud
Cons: only worked for two days
I was impressed when I used my friends sony ear buds so I decided to buy a pair. THey were great for two days until they stopped working for no reason. Disappointing purchase for $40 dollars.
