Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had these headphones for about 2 weeks now, and I wanted to put up a review for those considering buying them.
You have to understand you will not get $300 Bose quality for $75, but for the price these earphones are excellent.
PROS
- Lightweight and very portable compared to the over-ear models
- Good sound isolation just from the fact that they go IN your ear, not over
- Noise cancellation is good
- Music is *crisp* You can actually hear the bass drum and other nuances that are usually lost.
- "Monitor" button lets you mute music and listen to the outside world without removing headphones (perfect for work interruptions)
CONS
- Cumbersome compared to other in-ear headphones (think iPod). The AAA battery pack is one the wire, and while this is necessary it does get in the way. If you thought iPod headphones got tangled easily, these are worse.
- Introduces hiss when you turn noise cancellation on
NOTE - Noise-cancellation technology does not kill all noise, it's better at eliminating constant noise, like engine noise.
I recently made a 150 mile road trip, and was noticeably more relaxed when I got done. The road noise disappeared and I listened to music. (Safe while driving? Maybe not, but I enjoyed it)
A friend has the over-ear Bose, and the Sonys are NOT that good, but there's a huge price difference. At the sub $100 price point I am happy with these headphones.
The thing I like best about them is being able to "tune out" at work and relax. You don't realize how much ambient distraction there is, and once you cut it out it's very peaceful.
Sony says these remove 90% of noise, to me it feels more like 70%
A solid buy, I recommend them.
