Use it everyday for listening to music and calls. Mic quality is actually great and the buttons on mic work as designed. The bass quality is good and the clarity is amazing. Works for all type of music. Highly recommended.

The first time I ever wore these, I got a chicken dinner on solo on PUBG. I hear everything now! Prior to owning these earbuds, I was rocking a very uncomfortable Astro A10 headset. I'm glad I switched to some quality earbuds for half the cost, and they are red and black. If I didn't get these earbuds, I would have went w/ the new Sony Gold headset. Sony makes good products.

Pretty Good

Sounds at least as good as the Bose I tried at the outlet store. I just wish they had the option to shorten up the wires like the Bose sport, or were just shorter

Great bang for buck here. Well made, feel more expensive. Cord no tangles, great sound, crisp, tight, good solid tight bass. button for pause or answer phone, no volume control, but a lot of sound for the money.

Unbeatable sound quality and comfort for price.

Being a professional sound editor I use a variety of in ear monitors all day long and sometimes need super bass to hear sub design. Cant fault these in any way. Superb sound quality and sound isolation.

Exactly what I wanted, and works perfectly. This is my 2nd pair of these earbuds, as I lost the first set, and they were the only ones I wanted for replacement. And B&H offered them at a GREAT price!

II bought this product last year. I use it for my Xiaomi Mi10 mobile, and for my Asus laptop X512. I7. Clear and sharp sound. The extra bass is perfect. When I travel with the train between cities, I feel like Im in the sky. Better to use one to each device. Very high quality Sony product. Recommended! Tsafrir Jerusalem Israel

Great and reach bass little bit low performance on other, but for this price for my point of view it is perfect. These earbuds probably will not suite some of people with small ears and also those, who are found of jogging as earbuds are quiet big.

Great headphones. Good looking, lots of base sound. Added benefit is that although Sony doesn't list them as noise cancelling, they do block out a good amount of noise. Smart buy for those who don't follow the crowd.

These are usually on sale I guess because they're not Bluetooth but don't let the discount make you look elsewhere, these have great sound for the price and I am very happy with the product and with B&H Photo for their great service.

And the non-tangle cord os kinda tangly. These do have very good sound and fit nicely. I just miss having volume control built in and should have looked more carefully before purchasing.

I would actually give it 4.5 stars because I prefer the comfort of the Apples earbuds. But overall, the sound quality on this is better. You can hear more sound separation between each instrument, and the bass is better of course. Comes with 3 bud sizes to fit your ear hole.

Good construction and Bass is extremely heavy, just as you'd expect. On the other hand, the mids and highs are terribly muddy. It sounds like something coming from another room. I regret getting these.

Good in ear earphones.

I like the fit and design on these earphones. They are very comfortable and fit well. Audio is pretty good as well. Good bass and treble as well. I had some older Sony in-ears which I lost, so I needed a replacement ASAP and bought these.

I was literally blown away by the sound and quality of Sony's extra bass earbuds. For my size ears the Sony earbuds were noise cancelling and surround sound was brain crack. So now my Power Beats Pro are now in the drawer. I need to keep up on tech reviews better.

These Sony's have great clarity. Extra bass with music to be sure, but they're fantastic for Android phones and teleconferences at work. All in all, a smart buy! (Glad that I have them -- and they seem to tangle far less than Samsung's OEM earbuds).

Get it instead of EarPods & urBeats3 - SOUNDS MUCH BETTER!
