Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Generally, hardware with SONY written on the side of it performs well. This is certainly the case here as well. The overall sound quality of this set is great. Deep bass, yet not too overpowering. Vocals sound clear...not too much hiss in the highs. The range of sound is good...nothing really over powers anything else. When I first started listening I was afraid that the mid-range was high. However, this was likely because of how use to my *awesome* Apple earbuds i was. Also, I listened to a pair of my friends dre beats solo phones. I would say that the sonys have a better overall sound...not the mention the price. With the sound quality these things produce, you'd expect to pay alot more. The low price is actually a little ridiculous for these headphones (but I'm certainly not complaining.) These aren't really "noise canceling" headphones, but they do a good job of isolating general background noise. They are comfortable...i have a decent size head (cap size 7 3/8) and they're not too tight. Love the red stripe on the right side for "red is right..." The white finish is very glossy and done well. **not really sure why they're classified as "outdoor" headphones?
