    I bought these headphones because I was sick of the earbuds hurting my ears, and I was worried about permanent long-term, internal damage from using them for so long. I use my Sony headphones to listen to music when I'm walking around and when I'm on the subway. It hooks up just fine to my iPhone and I'm about 99.9% sure that no one around me can hear my music! The ear pads are super soft and comfortable, even over earrings (I have cartilage, tragus, and regular ear piercings). The sound quality is good and there's no fuzziness. I've heard better quality headphones, but certainly not for this price. If you want the biggest bang for your buck (especially if your buck isn't much), then these will suit you perfectly.

    For [$], I don't expect the best quality headphones in the world, but these were definitely not up to par. First, aesthetically, these do not look good. While you CAN adjust these headphones, the band is much too wide, so this leaves a considerable amount of space from the headphones itself to my head, making me look silly. Note that I do have a small head, though. Secondly, the feel of these headphones were much different than I thought. The plastic they use for the band seems relatively cheap. But on to the most important part of this review, the SOUND. I bought these to connect to my USB Yeti condenser mic at home for recordings, but was very disappointed when I couldn't hear myself as well as I would have liked. Even at the highest volume, I didn't sound as loud as when I listened to myself sing on earphones. Music-wise, it functions pretty well when I listen to songs, but I need to put the sound up high since these headphones aren't as clear and loud. What bothers me the most about these headphones is that I can't hear things as clearly as I want! For example, for some genres like jazz, the songs sound kind of distant. Overall, these are pretty good headphones, but they're nothing near great.

                      I was waiting for a headphone with a amazing sound quality, stylish and confortable. It has sound quality and is stylish, but not so confortable as i expected. You takes some time to feel some "confort ". I realy recommend this product to be used at home, not at work.
