we have two pairs of these headphones for our kids to use at school. the compact, folding set was a big plus for us. they're sleek and easy to transport. the biggest issue is that they don't contain the sound very well; my daughter got in trouble at school for having her headphones on too loud because the whole class could hear what she was listening to. i've confirmed this issue myself when my son is using his set at home. i check that he's listening at reasonable volume in the headphones, but i can hear what he's listening to all the way across the room. there's a reasonable expectation that headphones will contain the sound to the wearer and these completely miss the mark on that point.
the volume level on these headphones was noticeably lower than our other various brands and models. also, the fit was not good. i'm returning the product.
i purchased the sony headphones after yet another pair of expensive headphones broke. i was looking for a cheaper pair just for an on the fly replacement when i found these. i opted for no mic because it would have taken longer for that version to be delivered. the headphones are sturdy but a bit smaller than i'm used to but i'm ok with that. the sound is pretty good but there is no volume control on the headphones which was a bit disappointing.
is it that people need to have a name brand, such as sony, to feel validated? and do people really believe that anything sony makes must be a great product? i had big doubts that these headphones could be good at $9.99, but given the 100,000+ reviews with such a high overall rating, i ignored those doubts, and that premonition ... i wish i'd trusted my instinct, because now i have to return the headphones (and returning stuff is such a pain).the instant i put them on i noticed the sound was muffled, so i played with the equalizer and was able to improve the sound a bit, but then the volume was compromised. i then compared these to my 15-year old apple wired earbuds and the apples, beat up as they were, were so far beyond superior to these brand new $9.99 sonys that it was comical. i literally laughed out loud.also, they don't fit well; they don't cup your ears properly; the fit was so poor that i kept fidgeting with them, but alas, i gave up.you know the adage, you get what you pay for? well it's true. instead of buying these, i would encourage you to save up your money for a couple/few months, however long it takes, and maybe you'll also need to bide your time until you find a good sale, but please treat yourself to a quality pair of headphones; these are not it. as far as i'm concerned, sony can stick these in their mt. fuji. because after all, you get what you pay for.
first of all my computer was turned all the way up. and the earphone sounded like a whisper. it was so low. you could barely hear the music. to top it all off, the right was lower in volume than left. these were horrible. my cheap computer earphones were better than this and i thought i was doing an upgrade. well not hardly. these are awful. i'm really surprised because i've always trusted the sony brand. this was a big, huge disappointment. they should get rid of this line of headphones all together. it is doing their brand name. a huge disservice.
i bought these to use during longer meetings on days when i don’t feel like using wireless ones.purchased in december. started using them mid january and by march the audio was distorted. then only one side was working. now it’s all static if any audio comes through.they sat on my desk the entire time, still look new but work like i got them out of the dumpster. disappointed in sony and amazon.
purchased july 17, 2023 and use it gently everyday for 1 hour. recently the audio (connection?) has been going in and out. headphones are very comfortable but sound is why we buy these.
i'm in a convulsant hospital across from the nurses station. it is very noisy during the day. and a little noisy at night. they try to keep thing quiet. i got these because they were constantly turning my volume control down on my computer as i listen to music when i can't sleep and i only sleep 4 hours at night and i'm done. i have 1 hour power naps in the day time again with music or a movie. so i plug them in hoping for more volume, but i had the program on as high as it would go and the computer as loud as it would go. and i could just hear it bearly what was being said in the movie. i pulled out the head phone jack and i was asked to please to turn down my movie so the sound was on. so i again put the jack in. i didn't hear my movie so the jack must be working. i put the head set on and yea i could hear them talking just bearly. i couldn't hear enough of the movie to enjoy it. i gave it to my care giver and maybe if there is no other sound around and you have good hearing you will be satisfied but it's to much trouble to send it back. it's not worth the $10 i paid to go to the post office and take it back. it has no volume control i have ordered one with volume control.
volume suffers and if there is supposed to be noise cancelation, where is it? but it sounds good, it would be better if i could have more volume for m laptop and my playstation.
vacuumtubejazzpro (see his/her review) pretty much nailed it, though i thought 3 stars was too generous. basically, the sound is blah and there's not much of it. the price is low enough that it doesn't really matter--or at least it's not worth the bother of returning.
sound quality is alright from what i can make out, better than other headphones at $10-15, but volume is too low to really be certain, even at max, and i can't avoid ripping the cable out from doing anything while at my computer with my setup (sitting back in my chair, turning my head, sneezing hard, etc).if you expect to use them for much more besides your phone, get something with a longer cord or an extension. and personally, i don't think these are even conversational volume. if you want a jamming music session... look at another tier higher from sony. they have some great stuff, and some... it's accurately priced haha.
i'm an audio guy, and care mostly about sound quality. for ten bucks shipped on prime, these are very inexpensive and you have to adjust your expectations accordingly. i thought the build quality was pretty good, and they looked more expensive than they were. they're comfortable to wear, and are lightweight. there's no battery, no volume control, no noise-cancelling, no bluetooth, and no microphone, but there's not supposed to be. these are simple, straightforward audio headphones. my one main gripe -- and it's a pretty big one -- is power efficiency. by that i mean the volume, when connected to a phone or a computer, is really low compared to my other headphones (i also have high end of shure studio monitor headphones). even at maximum volume, they're pleasant but seem to provide half to a third the volume of my other headphones. in addition, the sound is flat, kind of like you're listening through a thick blanket. so yeah, they work fine, they're very inexpensive, they're well made enough, they look good, but the audio quality is at best on par with other sub-$10 headphones - there's no bargain to be found here in that respect. if sound quality is also your priority, i think you may be disappointed.edit: i just lowered the rating. i think sony's chinese manufacturer is kind of screwing them. i think they substituted poor-quality magnets or some other component in the middle of the manufacturing run without telling anyone, including sony. probably the first batch of them were pretty good. but these are really annoying me for one primary reason: very low volume. compared to nearly anything similar, they just plan too quietly. i usually have to turn the volume up to 100% on everything i have lots of other headphones and none of them are like this, even my very expensive and inefficient studio headphones. i'd recommend looking for something else, even at this extremely low price.
the headphones initially were good quality for their price, however after two- three months, issues started to show up. now these headphones have alot of interference and are not effective.
