1 out of 5 stars nice, but foam pads last about 1 week   January 2, 2009
Steven F. Greenwald (Tamarac, FL United States)
They are nice headphones as long as the foam ear pads last. Mine last about 1 week. After that, painful on the ears. Look for any others that have leather or vinyl pads. Nice try. Back to the drawing board if you ask me


5 out of 5 stars Great for the price!   December 31, 2008

These are a really great set of headphones for the price. The other products over $100 I think can't be much better, IF you just want a pair for the television. If you are looking for something of extraordinary quality for listening to music, these aren't really it. But we use them solely for the tv, and they are perfect!!! Love it!


3 out of 5 stars Not working for me   December 30, 2008

I don't know if it's just me, but I can't get these to work properly for me. I do a lot of video editing on my dell, and the music bothers my husband who works on his desk in the same room. Thought these were the answer but the hissing is sooo loud, I can't ignore it. I tried everything with the volume, different positioning of the cradle, etc and it's unbearable. Are they not meant for computer use? The irony here is that I laughed when my husband picked up a pair of $13 "protocol" wireless headphones. He's the one laughing now.
I'm not sure why I game them 3 stars, I guess I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt, after all, they're SONY... the MUST work. right?



2 out of 5 stars Hissing noise is too much   December 28, 2008

I just brought these home from the store and tried using with my MP3 player. The sound quality is not bad, but the hissing noise is too much. I can even here it in the background during the music. These are going back in the box and back to the store. I suggest you don't waste your time with these.

The sound quality is as good or better than my old cord headphones. I should have bought these months ago.
