- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018I had a pair of these for about 10 years before one of the chord winders stopped working. I ordered these, and they are just as good as my previous pair. They are just so convenient to carry around, and it's great to not have to worry about untangling wires every time you move. I find the clip on pads comfortable for long periods of time, much more so than earbuds. They sound great in most areas, but like any headphones that rest against your ears instead of over or in them, it becomes difficult to hear bass tones in louder areas. They can go pretty loud though, plenty enough for plane rides.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2015I took one star off due to the fact they stated red in the offer and on the label of the package but sent blue instead. Outside of that the product works great. The sound is great and I love the double retractable cords. These were purchased because ear buds will not go in my ears. I have tried several sizes but none fit so I needed the style that goes on the ear. These go on and stay on and are great for using when going to appointments and such events to use with my phone or tablet. The retractable cords make it easier to carry them with me and keeps the cords from getting tangled. Someone I know had a pair he had purchased 3 yrs. ago and the padding material on the ear pieces was beginning to come off so I gave him a pair I had purchased in addition to the first pair (which came in blue in lieu of the red ordered). He is enjoying those as well.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2016These are great. In America there is a stigma about thin wires and light headgear. These were made in Japan. They have mastered the tiny and thin design. the wires are thin but sturdy and the speakers provide loud fresh sound- provided you are not an audiophile you will like these. The non-tangle retractable wires are great for storage in a pocket.
I just wish that the covers were not cloth foam and instead a leather synthetic of sorts and that the ear clips were just a bit more ergonomic for the ears and fit. Sweaty workout people beware. These are more for the bus or light walk.
These do the trick for light travel headphones
- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2018I've bought several pairs of these throughout the last many years, when they break I get new ones. They are super comfortable, sound has always been great and they generally last several years before they wear out. Unfortunately this one seems to be a little lesser quality than my previous ones. The cord seems to have issues retracting at times. Since that's one of the features I really like, it will be a problem if it won't retract properly. So far, with a little TLC it seems to still work but not sure how long.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2014Bought these as a replacement for an exact pair I had but broke. They broke as a result of my own fault NOT the quality of the product. I like these because they are not ear buds which always fall out and over/cover the ear headphones push my ears down and just plain hurt. These work great and don't hurt the ear at all. I use them for work and the gym. Retractable cord makes them easy to store with out the cord getting tangled. Just wish they were sold in the US, takes forever for them to be delivered.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2014Sony has cleverly mixed old-school padded headphones with push-button retractable cords! So compact and portable....no more tangles! And yes, the sound quality is fantastic! I guess I have little ears because buds are actually painful for me to use (and they fall out anyway) which makes this clip-on feature a must-have! By the way, the plastic exterior "caps" are definitely red in color despite the photo appearing a bit on the hot pink side.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2015Couldn't get the things to produce sound reliably. The cord is too short. Sony really should bring back the psyc ones. Those were the best!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017I loved these headphones. Bought two of them to bring on vacation. My son and I both prefer over the ear style headphones and I didn't want to bring the pricier and heavier Beats on vacation. So, after a 10 day vacation the included 2 flights, 2 days at the beach and a 7 day cruise. My headphones were perfect. My son (who is 12) his the foam of his headphone ripped a bit. Could be b/c he was very hard on it.
Nevertheless, this is a good product. It is comfortable, it retracts which makes it super portable, and it provides nice sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like over the ear clip on headphones get these.
These headphones are great. I really like to have headphones that are over the ear but not needing a headband and they do the job really well. I have tried a whole bunch of them and have had no end of problems with uncomfortable, easily broken or just clunky headphones. They are a replacement (I had the silver ones last time). I run (slow jog really) and they are stable and comfortable which is just fantastic. Sound quality is great for me but I'm not that discerning. The retractable cords make it super easy to pack away in your handbag or pocket.
The clip does disintegrate over time (I think from the sweat when jogging) but even when that happens the sound quality is still great.

4.0 out of 5 stars ワンタッチで巻けるコード
ワンタッチで巻けるから、持ち歩いてもコードが絡みにくいのがよい。耳に入れないタイプで持ち歩きといったらこれ(独断。そんなに探してません笑)。

3.0 out of 5 stars 音質には問題なし。ただし付け心地に難あり
音質と線の丈夫さには問題がありません。コードの巻き取りも大変便利です。ですが毎日ヘビーに使う方にとっては、
かなり耳が痛くなる方も中にはいる可能性もあります。私も何時間も使い続ける事があるので、使ってみると最初のうちは良いのですが、
次第に耳かけの部分が結構痛くなります。毎日長時間使われる方には向いていないかもしれません。

コードが巻き取れるためバイクのヘルメットに埋め込んでもケーブルが余ったり、足りなくならず、スッキリ使用してます。
