The sound is nice and clear but I can't wear them for too long because the neckband bothers me way too much and were the band goes around the ear I feel like there should be some rubber padding or something because it's very uncomfortable to have the band right there. I would recommend these but they will take some time to get used to them.

I love these headphones, I have always had trouble wearing headphones. My hair is so thick and long, that it didn't matter how carefully I tried to put them on or pull off. My hair would always get stuck in the headphones. With these I don't have to worry about that because they slide around my ears, behind my neck. I love my Sony's neckband headphones. Sound Quality The sound quality is so clear and crisp, I don't hear any kind of crackle or popping noise in the background. Like I have had with previous other brands of headphones I have worn. Comfort I love the way these fit, these are made different than other headphones but they are not complicated to put on at all. Just slide them on your neck and pull the ear pieces over you ears. The cushioning on these headphones is so thick and soft, not thin and flimsy, like some other brands I have tried in the past. This is one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones I have ever owned. Design I love the design, whoever thought of this was pretty smart and innovative. Durability I have dropped my headphones about twenty times and they still work fine. So I would say they are pretty durable.

I'm not one who cares for headphones. The sound hurts my ears, and I just overall never liked wearing them. While none of these issues are fixed for me with these headphones, the sheer sound quality alone is enough to make me want to use them. There is so much depth and overall its just amazingly pleasing to listen to, even if it bothers me after a bit. Sound Quality The sound quality of these headphones blew me away. This is the best reason to get this product. For something so small and cheap, the amount of bass and depth of sound is just fantastic. Comfort The main issue with the headphones is that they bother your ears physically after a while. the band going around your ear causes issues with the top of your ear. However for shorter wearing, this isn't an issue. Design I personally would much rather have over the head style headphones. But with the sound quality, I can live with it. Durability No issues with durability at all. Well built and will hold together for years.

I've had, now, two pairs of these headphones. First off, I only buy and recommend sony headphones because they are of the best constructions and they always seem to fit my ears the best. I've got the sensitive kind of ears that do not tolerate pressure very well, so I cannot wear headphones for long lengths of time, however I seem to tolerate sony headphones better than others. The first pair worked great--good sound (clear and crisp) with excellent volume. I took them jogging one day, though, and got caught in a storm. I think the rain must have affected the cord some how because afterwards the music would crackle or cut out altogether. I picked up a new pair and they work just as good. I just make sure to check the weather before I take them out and about.

My favorite pair of headphones ever. I can't stand ear buds (they hurt my ears) so I always buy these over the neck Sony headphones. The sound quality is top notch and they usually last about a year of continuous use. I have a pair connected to my computers speakers and one for my mp3 player. I would recommend these to anyone looking for cheap but great sounding headphones. Sound Quality I think the sound quality is great. You can hear bass and noise from the outside never bleeds in. Comfort I think these are very comfortable. They never hurt from extended use. Though I do find it unconformable when I lay down on a pillow while using them. Design Very chic high gloss design. They don't look cheap at all. Durability A pair will usually last me a year (I listen to them every day for hours). They either break from me dropping them or the cord near either the earphone or the 3.5 jack will start to lose connection (due to pulling from every day use)

I ran out earlier and grabbed a pair of these portable "Sony-Street Style Neckband Headphones". I needed something I can wear, while I'm listening to my tunes, and thought these were perfect. The behind the neck headband is pretty cool. Ya barely feel them. They're ultra small and ultra lightweight at less than 2oz. The cord length is approximately 3.9ft. The non slip design keeps them on your ears. The mini plug resists corrosion for maximum conductivity and minimum noise. It says the 30mm diameter drive units are larger than many portable headphones for deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range (frequency response extends down to a low 16Hz). Have no clue what all that means, but my tunes sound pretty awesome in these headphones! I would highly recommend this to a friend!
