I have now had 2 pairs of these earphones and both have developed the same fault. The left earphone has lost most of its sound. I bought the first pair in July and by the end of August they had broken, Amazon to their credit, sent me a new pair and by the end of Nov they had also broken. My advice is to stay away from these and buy a different pair. They don’t actually stay in the ear much better than normal earphones anyway and the sound isn’t any better either, therefore there must be better options out there for the money.
Stay clear. I expected better from a company like Sony.

I have to say, I was skeptical, because on pretty much every pair of headphones I have looked at, there have been positive reviews, and negative reviews – so I was expecting the worst when I finally settled on a pair.
However. These things are great.
They come with sets of different sized earphone, which is great for someone with weird ears like me, the sound quality is amazing, and the design is just cool! The only downsides? They can be a pain to put in the little case thing you get (but that’s soo minor, they’re mostly in my ears anyway!) and when you first put them in they can feel uncomfortable, but that feeling fades soon…..fantastic point about them: they can drown out the sound of the outside world pretty easily!
Brilliant headphones I say. Well worth the money.

Got these about a fortnight ago, listen to them everyday. Sound quality excellent, bass rich. I find these phones very comfortable in the ear. When im not listening to them they are sitting around my neck, they are so light i often forget they are there. Definitely sport headphones, i have not had them fall out once! Like the fact that you can adjust where the wire comes off the loop, they come by default on the left side, but i far prefer it at the rear of the loop meaning the wire goes down my back and into my pockets, meaning no snagging.
All in all very good, the carry case they come with is a bit bulky and pointless as the headphones are rugged enough.

I’ve been using these headphones for fell running over the last 6 months and they tick every box for me:
- They stay firmly in place regardless of sweaty ears or heavy downhill thumps!
- The sound quality is superb
- They are durable (still working perfectly after 6 months of heavy use)
If these fall out of your ears then you either have them round the wrong way or you actually have no ears to hang them over…

What a let down! So many things are wrong with these headphones. I went running for an hour and 5 times they came out of my ears due to a mixture of vibration and sweat, and it made no difference what size bud I used. When they are in firmly the sound is so sealed that the thumping vibration caused by your running adds an extra bassline, which gets annoying very quickly. Also the cable routing in the thick rubber neck pipe isn’t deep enough, so the cable pops out. The final straw was when then left ear bud started to crackle, so enough was enough and I returned them. Credit to Amazon who refunded me immediately. Now I’ve bought some Sennheiser MX 85 Sport II and they’re brilliant, with no issues the Sonys had. They’ve corrected the weak cable insulation that the MX 75’s had too.
