I can not say enough good things about the Sony MDR headphones. I started researching different headphones that claimed to be comfortable. My old set killed my ears not to mention they did not filter out any noise whatsoever. For me the noise filtration of this Sony set was an added bonus. Another nice...

These are fairly priced and us parents don't have to listen to whatever our teens are listening to when they use these headphones!!!!!! I have two teenagers and they are always listening to their music. The horrible part is when they really like the song that they are listening to, us as parents also have to listen to that same song with them!!!! My son bought a pair of these headphones and I can't hear that screeching coming out of his ears like usual. The only bad thing about them is that when he has them on, he can't hear a thing that I say to him unless I am standing right next to him. The... review »

These clear and rich sound earphones are amazing! I am a music enthusiast and when I had to play the new songs by Madonna and Whitney, the clarity of the songs with these headphones was AMAZING! I am thrilled to be a SONY buyer from Televisions, to headphones, to MP3 players . . . with SONY you can never go WRONG! CLEAR & RICH CLARITY sound is what these headphones advertise and deliver!

The Sony MDR-EX71SL Consumer Headphones rock. I use them on my i pod and the sound is amazing. The are comfortable to wear and they don't slip like some others that i have tried. They really keep the noise out too. I hardly notice the noise around me when these are in. I like that they are small and compact and i can just toss them in a bag without anything happening to them.

These headphones are not only lightweight, but don't hurt your ears even when flying cross-country.  The sound quality is great and the sound stays in your ears so others can't hear what you're listening to.  These headphones stay in your ears even while at the gym, including running.

These headphones are GREAT!  They fit into my ear so well that they also block some outside noise (even when you're not playing music).

This headset works really well for the price you are paying. It gives suprior sound quality compared to other headsets. You can hear everything crystal clear, and it has a good volume level. You are getting your money's worth.

 I have found a few issues with the headset for certain people. People who have ear problems could have some issues with this headset. After a few hours of constant wear it does begin to hurt the inner ear because of the way it sits in your ear. In my own household I have two children which use these headsets. They cannot wear the headset after a certain amount of time...

These are nice mid-level headphones by Sony.
Good sound, nice bass.
The design blocks out external noise fairly well.

These earbuds are stylish and come with several bud covers for a customized fit.
The cord is just the right length and detachable in the middle in case you accidently yank it.

These earbuds are great for the gym or jogging. I don't have any problems with the buds falling out.

Overall a good product, not the best sound in the market, but good for mid-level headphones.

These are not really that good. Personally, my favorite headphones are the JBuds J2 earbuds from http://www.JLabAudio.com .

I just got an advanced pair, they don't officially come out until the 28th of November on Amazon. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pair of the Onyx Black JBuds J2 and they sound GREAT!

You can get the details on them at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GS8FZ2 .

I've had them for a few weeks and they're the best headphones I've ever owned. They are extremely comfortable and very durable.
