 Excellent quality, great soundFeb 11, 2008
By Evan Reynolds
I bought these a year and a half ago and use them constantly. Being a college student, I'm on the computer often, and always use these. The quality of these headphones is outstanding for the price. Comfort is great; the extra long cord is a definite bonus; sound is great too. Sometimes when listening to a movie in these headphones, I'll be tricked and think a sound is external, because the sound placement and accuracy is that good
I have no complaints, and if you're using a cheap pair of headphones right now, I'd definitely recommend upgrading. Obviously they're not for active/mobile use, but these are great for listening to music and not bothering the roommates.
Bass is great; like I said, no complaints

 Comfortable headphonesMay 27, 2006
By Adrian Crooks
"liRetro"
Pros:
These headphones are easy to wear and similar in design to the MDR-XD300. They are very comfortable and lightweight (relatively). They are nice and loud so you don't have to crank up your volume. I have noticed details in songs that I suspected were better than my speakers could reproduce.
Cons:
These headphones are a bit cheap on the low end. Sure the specs say they are great, but the tuning is such that even though you can tell there is bass there, it just does not hit very hard. The only I get any "boom" out of these is when I play specific low frequency music (techno/electronica/etc...).
While I don't like particularly boomy headphones these suffer from what seems to be an imbalance in excellent mid-high reproduction (even a little peaky at times) with mediocre to dissapointing low end intenity.

Good quality, fair priceMay 01, 2007
By Trevor B. Sullivan
Well, you're obviously not going to get a professional quality set of headphones for under $20, but these are certainly decent headphones. They were meant to replace an old pair of Sony's that the headband broke on finally after about 5 years. I just got the XD100's today, and I am more than impressed! I am listening to some bass tests right now (Techmaster P.E.B.), and you can hear pretty low notes on them! The bass is incredible for a sub-$20 pair of headphones!
I primarily will be using these for casual music listening, and for gaming on my gaming system and at LAN parties. They fit my head really well, too, and are easy adjustable. The only question I have on the headband is how long it's going to last. The adjustable parts are all made of seemingly cheap plastic, and I wouldn't be surprised if it snaps from not all that much abuse. Of course, I try to treat my stuff with care, but for someone who knows that they're going to throw them around a lot might want to look at a different pair.
Pros:
** Good sound quality
** Comfortable fit (even after a couple hours)
** Not too heavy
** Long cord (could be good or bad)
** Includes 1/8" --> 1/4" adapter
Cons:
** [Seemingly] Cheap plastic
** Headband is not solid (but I personally like that) or padded

 Simply put... junk and not worthy of a name like Sony!Apr 28, 2010
By Mark Siles
"Mark S"
I'm going to keep this short and simple for us over 30's crowd.
I remember when you used to buy full ear headphones and no matter cheap or not they blocked out ambient noise at least. These things suck!
Simple and not so sweet. Trust me they have no volume. I tried them on my PC for movies = not that bad, PC for MP3's = sucked no bass, on my Ipod = sucked again no bass or volume
They're under $20 I know but come on Sony.
My gut was to go with some Sensheisers but I went with Sony because I love my Sony earbuds but I was wrong. These are being returned as I type this.
Shop around and don't be fooled by the brand name or the other reviews on here.

Extremely low volume; surrounding noise seeps in easilyOct 06, 2011
By Frank S. Cohen
"cohenf@franklinpierce.edu"
Just bought them and tried them with my portable and non-portable devices and they are very soft, particularly in contrast to the phones I already own (i.e., Koss Portapro). Based on my comparison test, these are extremely low-volume headphones that require you to turn up the volume on your devices and when you do, there's no bass. Incredibly, for huge cups over the ears, as far as surrounding noise seeping in, it's as if you have on no headphones at all. These headphones look great but the looks are deceiving. Sony's just not as reliable for quality as it used to be. They are very inexpensive but as cheaply made as the price indicates. Guess you get what you pay for with these. If you think the price is too good to be true, that's because it is. BTW, I'd give them 2 stars but I'm trying to lower the mean-rating of 3.5 stars.
