N/A 3/2/2012 9:23:45 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Fits my ears very well Pros: It fits my ears very well, and sounds good. Good fit naturally provide better sound isolation. Cons: Short cable. Not a noise canceling head phone. Other Thoughts: I have good experiences so far with other Sony head phones as well. I just love how it fits, and it is priced to move. It's not noise canceling head phone, so not the best for frequent travelers, but it is great for gaming. Did you find this review helpful?

Ntsej Fam Yaj 2/14/2012 4:19:22 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Comfortable and High Fidelity Pros: I love these little suckers. The neodididumumum magnets make the sound superb. And, they're comfortable! For me anyway. Cons: The cord is too short! Might want to invest in a cheap extension cable.

N/A 12/14/2011 5:41:06 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Buyer Be Aware Pros: The drivers and sound are great. Cons: The cable is advertised as being 4ft long. In reality it is closer to 2-1/2 feet from the ear. I had to order and extension cable from that Mono-whatever. There is no in line volume control. Any headphones over $15 should have on standard. Other Thoughts: I bought them for sound and the over ear comfort. I just wish the specs were closer to reality and Sony didn't cheap out on the features. 7 out of 15 people found this review helpful.
