Sound too bright
OK, first, I do can tell a difference between 192KBps and uncompressed. My primary setup is Musican Fidelity Can + Sennheiser HD600. However, I didn't like Shure at all. Sound is too bright, basically it is like solid state vs. tube sound. Shure sounds way brighter than Sennheiser. Maybe if you are a Grado fan, you'll like them. I actually like sound of cheaper Bose TriPort better (OK, you can flame me now for mentioning Bose and audiophile in the same sentence). I am returning Shure, continue looking.

I miss my Shure E4c!
Left my E4c on a plane. You are welcome to whoever picked them up! I like the noise isolating for riding a bike as the wind noise makes any other listening options impossible. The SE310 is great when stationary. A perfect fit is mandatory. "Bright" would seem an appropriate term. My girlfriend was unable to get a fit and scoffed at the expense.

My largest complaint is the MASSIVE connector mid cable. Where the Y terminates into another jack leading to the beefy male connector. It weighs as much as my ipod. On a plane, no big whoop. On a bike, in the gym, on a jog: huge issue. Even when used in the over the ear fashion the weight tugs on the earpieces, upsetting the perfect fit and losing all mid and bass.

If you can find a pair of E4c's buy them! Light and great fit and sound. I would buy these only for physically inactive options. The sound is superior, but for me less functional.

My early new year's resolution is now to stop destroying packaging so I can return products that I am not happy with. My solution was to buy Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Earphones. Recommended, however have required two RMA's.

Aural Nirvana
First let me say that I bought these because I was in idiot and carelessly destroyed my other pair of Shure headphones. But, I will come back to that.

I spent a little more than I wanted to. I knew from previous experience that Shure products were fabulous. And I was not disappointed. I don't make a move without my Shure headphones. I would be horrified to find myself at the airport without them. I won't get into all the technical reasons they are superior. I will just say that they are without peer.

Back to me first pair. They got destroyed through my own carelessness. 100% my fault. I took a chance and sent them to the Shure repair center with a copy of the receipt, and a copy of the receipt for my new pair that I bought on Amazon. 7 days later a brand new pair showed up with a zero charge invoice. Now, that is a company that I will come back to again and again. THANK YOU Shure!!

My advice, buy the most expensive pair you can without getting yourself in fiscal trouble. You will not be dispointed.

Excellent product
Sound quality is truly impressive and that's all that matters. My only gripe is that cord is too short for any meaningful use. There is extension cord supplied but then it becomes too long and starts to tangle.

Shure SE310-K heaphones
Ordered in Maastricht (Netherlands, EU) and received within 3 weeks on the first day of the estimated day of receiving the item.

Sound quality of the headphones are good, but lack a bit in bass-response, especially in electronic music like trance, house, techno and dance and hip-hop. All other sounds are great, like guitars, piano, violins and voices.

Worth the 200 dollar.

Great product; BUT can not be used with computer
They do an excellent job cancelling noise. Audio quality seemed great to me. I have used them on very long flights, walking on busy streets, working on noisy offices. They were able to cancel noise from crying babies, people snoring, people talking and laughing loudly. I loved them!

BUT when used with the computer, they make an awful constant buzz/crackling noise (with the noise-cancelling mode on, off and even without battery). AT technical support informed me that it is a common problem with high sensitivity (low impedance) headphones.

Great headphones
This headphones was great at reducing the noise on the airplane. On my trap from New York to Tokyo on a Boeing 777, I first tried the airline's supplied noise canceling headphones, they were ok at reducing the engine noise, but when I changed over to my Audio Technica headphones - WOW - a Big difference in sound canceling & quality from the Audio Tech. This headphone is Highly recommended.

Like it
I go on long business trips about every other week and love this product for airplanes. It seems like no headphones ever fit my ears correctly, so they don't completely block out the noise, but they do a good job of blocking out enough so that my ears aren't ringing after long flights.

love it!
great pair of earphones. very efficient. no need to have the volume full blast. work great. highly recommended.

my first review
My Sony nosie cancelling earphones died after a few years of good use and decided to spend a few extra bucks for what apperared to be a higher quality set. They are great, more comfortable with less hiss, plus the case is really nice. I have used these at concerts with the echo cancelling turned on but not plugged into anything. They act as earplugs and you can actually understand what is being said. This is the first time I have reviewed a product on amazon, and everybody else is so helpful I thought it was time to pitch in. So why not start with an excellent product.

Awesome but not the best
These headphones are very comfortable and well worth 0. These are NOT Bose quality but that's what you pay the 0 for. The quality of the music is lacking but I bought these for the noise canceling part. I use these for long car rides, listening to EVPs when I have ghost hunts, and listening to lectures.

NOT good at all for lawn care.
I bought these just to test them out. Most reviews here are very favorable for canceling airplane noise, and for me, although in a VERY limited test of that (planes traveling above me), they totally eliminated the noise. But I bought these to cancel noise of my lawn equipment machinery. In that area, they are terrible. An inexpensive pair of Peltor (or similar) earmuffs is much more effective for that kind of usage.

Deciding I wanted to return them, Amazon was FANTASTIC at taking them back and crediting my account. All delivery charges were paid for, including UPS picking the package up at my door.

Fantastic performance at a great price!
I purchased these headphones for an overseas trip. They made the roar of the engines disappear almost completely. The sound quality is excellent. It's just too bad that the technology on the airplane doesn't come anywhere near the quality of the headset, but the headset helps make up for it - now you can actually hear the dialogue in the in-flight movies! I see no reason to pay twice as much for the Bose headphones when these perform up to par and are comfortable and convenient.

Pretty good
I thought the headphones were broken when I first got them and connected them to my computer, but it turned out that the cable that came with the headphones was broken. Panasonic should have just sent me a new cable when I asked, but they wanted me to send back the whole package. It was cheaper for me to buy a new cable.
Once I got the new cable, it works great for music.
Noise cancellation work like lots of other 'noise canceling' headphones by generating white noise rather than active noise canceling. It's not as loud as some other headphones, and it's pretty effective at covering background noise, so I can't complain too much.

Great headphones!!
These are a great pair of headphones. If you are looking for some noise canceling headphones, don't shell out too much money. These are an amazing buy. They work great and I love them.

Can't get a better headset for the money!
This is the best sound quality for the money. No need to spend big bucks on bose or Senhiesser. These sound great and if they break or you lose them...no big deal...they cost less than .

Well worth the money and even more!
I bought this 2 weeks ago and shipped very quickly. I bought it because I use subway to go to work everyday and the loud sound when it goes into tunnels is very annoying so I was first thinking about noise-canceling headphones but as you may know they are very expensive, then I saw these COBY earphones and they were cheap and I liked the fact that it goes into the ear. Surprisingly these earphones are very comfortable and do have the noise-canceling feature. I don't know if they would last long but I would think if it lasts for anything more than 3 months I'd say it was worth it.

Just Right
These are decent earbuds that give good sound and fit well. They are inexpensive and may not give the ultimate quality sound that some may desire, but they are just fine for my needs. I usually don't buy expensive earbuds because I either lose them or my cats eat them. They also stay in my ears while I exercise which is important. The one drawback about the product is that they only come with one size earbud cover. I would say these buds fit a small to medium ear (as compared with Griffin ear buds).

Not so much....
These were cheap but do not stay in the ears...I have found that while wearing a hat they work out well. The sound quality is decent and make great spares but I could never work out wearing these.

Its bearable
I bought this in ear headphones few days back they looks nice but dont perform nicely, i hope that will be expected by you when you purchase a cheap headphones. it sound quality is average, sound cracks on high volume. and its cord length i found to be inadequate, its pretty short. also some noise gets introduced at high or medium high volume.

Lasted a matter of weeks
I had these for only a few weeks and they have quit working entirely. Fiddling with the cord doesn't help. For , I expected much better quality. I am sadly disappointed and will not buy any headphone that says "Maxell" again - you can't trust anybody these days, they've all gone for cheap and to heck with quality.

these are awful
what you can't see from the images is that the battery pack to power the noise cancellation is in the middle of the cord, which is just plain stupid and annoying. you have to stuff the battery pack in your pocket, so if you're taller than 5'7", then every time you reach in to your pocket to grab your ipod or whatever, you run the risk of pulling down the battery pack, which in turn jerks your head down and to the side. if you leave the battery pack out of your pocket, it's heavy enough that it swings around and hits stuff if you're walking around. i haven't even put batteries in the battery pack yet so i can't imagine how much heavier it will be with batteries in 'em. avoid these and look for noise cancellation headphones where the battery is on the actual headphone.

I love it!
Initially I purchased Sennheiser HD201 Headphones. They didn't last two weeks, so I thought i would try the Maxell Noise Cancellation Headphones. I got them yesterday and I am so glad I did. I love them. The noise cancellation works well and the wires are heaver than the Sennheiser Headphones. It also came with a handy tote bag to keep them in and even has as adapter for airplane travel! I think these are "keepers". Thank you Amazon:)

Noise feature: nice. Sound quality: bad.
Remember when you were in high school and got your first car and it cost every cent you had and was really cool but it had the crappy original equipment stock car stereo so you saved up all your money from your part time after school job for the next month and went out and bought the most powerful car stereo you could afford and installed it and hooked it up to the crappy original equipment stock car speakers and cranked it up and blew out the speakers but you had no money left so you saved up all your money from your part time after school again for the next month to buy new speakers but for that whole month every time the sound got over a certain volume level it would get all distorted because the paper cones of the speakers were all ripped up?

Remember that month?

That's how these headphones sound out of the box.

Giving good sounds
I got these with my Pepsi points. THey work great. 2 aaa batteries helps take out some of the background noises around you.

They are comfortable to wear.

Headphones surpassed all expectations
All I need to say is that the noise canceling on these headphones is very good. I could barely hear any noise or passengers when I'm using them on the bus. Sound quality is very excellent too, every single note is reproduced faithfully. I don't think you can do much better than this, its Bose quality without the price.

No more NOISY airplane rides - PLUS fantastic music on the computer!
Honestly I thought all this "noise cancelling" headphones stuff was just pure HYPE - but NOT SO! Our first use of these amazing headphones came on the airplane (had a 3 leg trip about 12 hours total trip time). The plane didn't "seem" that noisy at first, but we thought, hey we bought them for the plane, let's see what they can do. Put them on and turned on the noise canceling feature - and WOW! We were truly amazed, and just to be sure of the difference, we'd take them away from our ears from time to time to see the change. The last leg of the trip was an American Airlines Eagle (puddle hopper" plane) - and it had a horrible roar. Even with these amazing headphones, it was still really annoying, but WAY worse without them. Fortunately that flight was only 45 minutes long.

WELL worth the money spent, and when used with the music on the plane, SO MUCH better than the airplane headphones that you'll want to feel sorry for the poor sods who are using the airplane headphones! Then there's what they do for your music on the computer or portable devices!!!

I can't recommend them enough. My ears and my sanity thank Audio-Technica.

Perfect for airline travel
Purchased these headphones for long-distance air travel. They were great in cutting out most of the jet engine noise, while still allowing me to converse with my wife. Also good for watching the movies. I love the travel case with its pouch for storage of cord and adapter plugs. All very light weight and comfortable fit.
I suppose cancelling 100% of undesirable noise is impossible since some noise vibrations enter the ear canal via jaw bones and skull.
I will never fly again without these headphones. Great purchase and value.

Good for studying
Now, these headphones don't eliminate screaming from a 2-year old, but do a great job with eliminating TV noise and constant and consistent noise. Work wonderfully in airports, on a plane, in a crowded place. I bought them to help me study for nursing school with my three young children hanging around and having to sneak in studying while waiting during piano lessons, swim lessons, soccer practice, etc. The earphones are very comfortable for long wear. The only reason I don't give them a full 5 stars is how big they are, bulky. They're hard to carry around in your purse/backpack. But they do an excellent job for the price and were much more reasonable than their more expensive competitors.

Great headphones for the price
I previously owned a pair of Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Earphones (Black) for just under a year. They were excellent in-ear monitors and were my favorite iPod accessory... until one of the monitors fell off and disappeared into non-existence. For a short while after losing my UEs, I resorted to using the generic-included iPod headphones. Absolutely horrible.

As a person who works primarily in multimedia and film, audio quality is extremely important to me. I asked my boss what type of audio gear he preferred for our lab and personal use; he recommended Shure and Audio-Technica. Sounds good to me.

With the Shure IEMs out of my budget, I ended up deciding on a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones.

The first thing I noticed after pulling the headphones out of the aesthetically-pleasing box was the great fit of the earcups, which provided great isolation even with the noise-canceling feature off. They were very comfortable on my ears and very light on the head.

Without the noise-canceling, you can hear a larger range of sounds if you are in a quiet room. For most places though (such as a crowded bus or subway), the passive sound will not be enough to hear the audio content.

By flipping on the switch on the left earcup (40 hours on a single AAA battery), the noise-canceling feature is enabled and brings forth a nice, clear, even sound. It took a few weeks (a break-in period, I suppose) for the sound to come through nicely. Out of the box, they sounded okay, but it took a little while until I could hear the full potential of the headphones.

The sound quality is pretty even from low to mids to high, probably a little stronger on the mids. Bass junkies may not appreciate this pair of cans due to its lack of heavy bass. For casual listeners and those looking for a great pair of headphones for a nice price, these will do just fine.

Highly recommended.

These healphones a OK but not great
I looked at a variety of active noise cancellation headphones. The BOSE high-end ones were far an away the best in terms of eliminating external sound and sound quality. They are also very expensive and I just couldn't justify the price. I found the Sennheiser's to be the best under 0 so I went with them. They are reasonably comfortable, the sound isn't as bright as I would hope and the external deadening is very obvious but not as great a it should be faced with variations like people talking. If you are price sensitive then they are not a bad pick. If not then move to the next level or be disappointed.

Good for travel
I bought two pair of these for an oversees flight. The batteries easily last for the 9 hour flight. They were comfortable, not too hot and had good sound dampening cutting out most of the engine noise. They had good range for music and in-flight entertainment. No where near as good as the bose, but for less than 1/3 the price, I'd recommend them to a friend. Folded up easily for storage.

Sennheiser PXC 250 Active Noise Canceling Headphones
They are okay, not too comfortable for wearing for a long time but good value for money. I'm not sure these types of headphones do anything more than cancel out aircraft noise because when used under other continuous background noise scenarios, like with a lawnmower, they seem to block only the same frequency as for aircraft noise.

BOSE quality without the BOSE price
I was looking for something with a BOSE quality without the BOSE price. This is it. Noise cancellation was comprable. Haven't had it long enough to know about battery life but love the fact the control is straight line in the cord and not built into the ear piece (easier to remember to turn it off).

I would buy this again for a gift with no worries about the quality.

Amazing for the Price. Compare with Bose.
I purchased my Sennheiser PXC 250's a month ago. Before I purchased, I did an in-store comparision with the Bose® QuietComfort® 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® Headphones at four times the price. I found the Senn's to be equal, or better, in noise-cancelling capability, audio quality, and for me - long period wear comfort. They're not as 'pretty' as the Bose, and I did find the cord design and arrangement to be somewhat clunky and archaic, but at four times the price how much is pretty worth? After a month's extremely heavy use, sitting at my computer 10 hours a day, I'd say I made a very wise decision with the Senn's.

great player, great price
simply put, this is a better product and cheaper than a similarly sized ipod when I bought it. It's also proven to be very robust. I've had mine two years nearly with not a single problem, even though I've dropped it many times, and given it similar hard knocks.

My new best friend!!
As an avid music listener, I was happy to be rid of my CD player, and my first choice was to get an IPOD. But a family member told me about the Zen and I'm sure glad she did! It's so easy to use, you can upload CDs, mp3s, WAVs, photos, and videos within minutes. You can customize your background (one of my personal favorite features) You can delete pics or songs or albums or playlist right from the device if you choose (yes, deleting without connecting to a computer!) The LCD display is crystal, the capacity is awesome, I probably won't fill this thing in a lifetime and I listen to A LOT of bands. So, it's a bit thicker than the IPOD, so what!?! That's really the only con about it I can think to name. Get this little gadget, you won't regret it.

A little poem I dedicated with my experience with Creative Zen Vision: M
Broken MP3 Player

My mp3 player is a tangle of wires
A mixture of pain and unaccomplished desires
Who boasted about all the features it brought
But its buttons broke a couple months after was bought
And the headphones that it came with later envisioned
To only utilize the left ear-bud to listen
Which leaves me a brick in a vegetative state
That when neglecting its size, still embodies `dead weight'
As a box that can store a considerable amount of music
With less than an adequate means of access to use it

Unreliable piece of trash
I started off really liking this product. Then the problems started. The player would hang, then freeze completely and wouldn't even let me turn it off. I had to use a bent paper clip to press the reset button over and over again. After about eight months of use, the player wouldn't turn on unless you charged it overnight, and God forbid if you let it go to sleep mode. Eventually, after about 11 months, it died completely.

And forget getting assistance from Creative Labs. They won't even speak to you over the phone; you have to run the gauntlet of their unintuitive web site, and they won't deal with you at all if the product is out of warranty.

11 months isn't long enough for a product even one-eighth the cost of this piece of garbage. Save your money and don't buy Creative.

No more CD players after this buy!
This is the best purchase I have ever made. You can put all your MP3, WAV & other files on the MP3 player. What I like most is that you don't have to subscribe to a specific web site to download music. You can put your own on there, buy music or audio books from any web site and put them on your player! It even has a FM Radio and I can put pictures, movies, etc on there. No more CD players for me on road trips!

Worked great for awhile
I was using the Stone for listening to audio books as I exercised. After about 2 months the Stone started to "lose" my place so I spent the first few minutes of my walk finding it again. I solved the problem by having only one book on the Stone at a time. The next thing was the Stone stopped being recognized by my computer. At first I blamed it on Vista but have tried my other computer with XP and still no connection. I cannot even charge the Stone from a wall charger.
I am replacing it this week with another brand.

worth it
totally worth your points. wish i could get another but of course all the good stuff worth while are gone. to bad pepsi!!!!!!!

better then ipod
great, easy to use, no tech problems with mine or daughters in over a year of ownership. takes fair bit of knocking around. leaves Ipod shuffle for dust

nice little MP3 player
For the price, great quality. Very small - only a few inches long. Doesn't display track info, but for the money, a good buy.

works great for me!
I don't really consider myself to be in the iPod generation but I really love this little player. I got a free MP3 player (generic) which ended up breaking so I went looking for a replacement. I especially like the Zen Stone for its speaker so that I don't have to use the earbuds. I use it while gardening to just clip on the inside of my shirt or to set out while I do exercise. I use it while playing guitar to be able to have the song I am working on right in front of me to listen to different parts of it.

The only thing I have had an issue with is the same as some people have mentioned before which is the charging. To me it holds the battery life fine but I have not used others to compare. The issue I have had is my computer not recognizing the player when I hook it up on USB to charge and I did the same thing as was mentioned, I plugged it in overnight to charge and went to bed without realizing that it hadn't actually connected. You sometimes have to really make sure that it is connected or change USB cables, or it might be that I am still on Win2000pro? Either way I always make sure that it is connected when I charge and then it works great for me!

Creative Zen
This Creative Zen MP3 has being a great product, and its tiny size makes it convenient!!

simply awesome!
Very happy with price, quality, function, and shipping arrival. This was a gift to my 17y old niece and she loves it.

Product failure
I wanted to like this product based on cost vs Ipod. I did but experienced occasional lockups which were corrected by reseting the unit. After 14 months product failed - dead. Simply unacceptable for a mass produced consumer product. Don't waste your money as I believe I have. I will be contacting Creative to try and get a partial credit/refund.

Outstanding portable recorder... with one major flaw.
If you have old tapes and records you would like to be able to archive, put into your computer or other MP3 player, and/or burn CD copies of, this is the the portable media player/ recorder for you...but it has one MAJOR flaw*

A line in jack (odd 2.5mm, but adaptable) is a very rare thing on a portable media player/ recorder, and this has one...add to that it's VU meters and it's close to perfect for making digital copies of any audio source including your old analog recordings. That's right it actually has a line in jack AND VU meters..how sweet is that? With an adapter ( Audio Adapter - Rca - Mini-phone Stereo 3.5 Mm (m) ) you can jack it right in to your stereo system..with the included 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable you can jack into anything with a standard stereo 3.5mm headphone/ output jack.

Recoding is encoded at 128 or 160Kbps WMA..ok so it.s not high end top notch audio, but it's just fine for cassettes,LPs, 45s, radio, and yes even your old 8-track cartridges. 320 Kbps would have been better, but 160 is adequate.

It also has a built in mono microphone that makes decent sounding recordings.

..and yes it'll play your audio files, and display pictures too... just like everything else, bla, bla ,bla. Nothing new there.

Audio output is not very loud, but it does have a real user adjustable five band equalizer.

Battery life is about 9-12 hrs...Uh... battery..battery...WHERE'S THE BATTERY?

* THE BATTERY IS NOT USER REPLACEABLE. IMHO that's inexcusable. When it goes dead on you and you're away from home you're sunk. Likewise when it'll no longer hold a charge. The only way to replace the battery is to literally pry the case apart or have it replaced by a technician!

As a recorder I'd give it an 8/10.

As a portable media player I'd give it 2/10 because of the battery issue alone...where it not for that I'd say 7/10.. sounds good for what it is, but I wish it had more output power.

Love it!
I love my Creative Zen. I have downloaded a bunch of music easily and have been enjoying it since I recieved it. I highly recommend it as a more affordable version of the Ipod.

Zen V Portable Speakers
Very good product. The sound is exceptionally good, especially when using the wide sound button.

Travels Well! Sounds Good!
Since I already had a Zen V mp3 player, I considered buying this unit to compliment it. It's compact size and sturdy construction make it an item one can easily pack for travel. Antenna for use with radio feature included on Zen V Plus is a nice feature. I am using a case for an old mini DVD player to transport because the travel bag included is not all that protective.

Fantastic
This little speaker packs a lot of punch and is perfect for music in my dorm room.

Creative Travelsound Zen V
Good sound for the size and just what I wanted. Handy in that it can be run on either AC or with batteries. Comes with remote control also, however haven't yet figured out how to use it for between playlists...so far it's gotten me to forward or backwards of next song between the list.

Great trip companion
My wife and I just took a trip to Costa Rica, and purchased the Creative Docking station at the last minute. The speakers sound great IMO, no sub woofer needed. The unit even served as our alarm clock (hehe, did not bring a watch).

For trips, I don't know how we lived without it!

The skin ripped
I love the armband, it's perfect. But when I went to charge my player for the first time I wanted to take the skin off so I could see when it was finished (I ordered the black), the skin just ripped, very easily. I would recommend getting a hard skin, if there is such a thing.

Good item but look at walmart
This works good i actually found them at walmart no clip and you slid the zen into a rubber sleeve it only cost B000PYGQH2 was on clearance at walmart so save the pepsi points and look a t walmart in the clearance area of electronics

Works great!
I ordered this with Pepsi points and have been completely satisfied with it. My 8-yo. daughter has the zen stone, and this armband is adjustable enough for her to use even with her small arm size. She has been using it daily since it arrived. The skin stretches easily on and off as well.

Pepsi Stuff warning
This player is NOT included with the Zen Stone armband from the Pepsistuff website. I entered over 300 points and then ordered 3 armbands because the site is shady about what the zen stone is! Now ill get useless armbands and will throw them out because i feel robbed and duped by the site. True its my fault that i didnt read better but the frickin picture shows the player IN IT!! PEPSI POINTERS BEWARE

not what I anticipated
The armband is great, but the black skin for the mp3 player is terrible. You can't see the light to check battery power, or whether you're on/off. If you get this, go with the clear/white skin!

Worked great for awhile
I was using the Stone for listening to audio books as I exercised. After about 2 months the Stone started to "lose" my place so I spent the first few minutes of my walk finding it again. I solved the problem by having only one book on the Stone at a time. The next thing was the Stone stopped being recognized by my computer.

GREAT!
Its just fantastic!
the cuality of the sound is great and i can walk to other rooms with it without loosing that much sound.

v ery good--but not great
Overall, these are pretty good headphones. The sound quality is very good, and I've never listened to them long enough at one go to run the batteries down. The auto-on switch in the headband and the inductive charging on the base station mean that you never really have to worry about the batteries at all.

The downside is that the range isn't as great as specified (although I've yet to see a wireless product that manages the range the manufacturer claims), and in an office environment anyway, I get the occasional random click. Apparently, that click is the automatic squelch. It's a bit annoying that it doesn't just go silent, though. Also, the plastic parts where the headband connects to the earpieces tends to creak a bit.

Still, a pretty solid product, and comfortable enough to wear for at least a few hours at a time.

Defective Out of the Box
I own many Sony products, (HDTV, Audio Receiver, CD Carosels, Digital Cameras)

I was very disappointed with this product. The first unit was defective out of the box. The replacement unit was also defective. I returned both units for credit and would never buy another Sony headset again.

Whole Lotta Noise
Headphones
I bought this item somehow, fortunately, before the price skyrocketed 20 bucks. I got it for 57.09. Don't know how or why sony or amazing jacked the price, but stoked I got this before it went up. Weird how that worked out. So THAT in itself earns a star fo
