"Great sound and fit - TERRIBLE build quality"
Pros: Good sound, tolerable fit
Cons: Atrocious quality - broke in 2 days!
Summary: Initially - I was very excited to have this player. The sound is good and the fit is pretty tolerable for being way inside your year. The one glaring drawback is that the headphone cord is way too short and the extension cord is ridiculously long. You end up having the extension cord with a stupid looking tie on it just to put your iPOD on your waist.
The worst thing was the quality of the wire. After trying to adjust it, it literally broke - the cover on the wiring just fell off. Trust me - this thing is NOT built to last - it is awful. Sony customer service is equally awful, it took almost an hour to get a workorder so I could send it to them. AND there's a good chance they won't cover such damage under warranty. PLEASE do not buy these headphones - spend the extra money on others.

I have to agree they sound great however the construction quality is terrible. These are probably the more expensive headphones I?ve ever purchased and the insulating rubber literally disintegrated exposing the wire, all within 3 months. I was completed disappointed.
