"Sony Style?" More like "Doggy Style."
By Tony Ren
I bought into the hype machine that Sony was running up on these headphones too. It was when I saw a beautifully designed Sony website (with pretty Flash animations) entirely devoted to these W.EAR 'phones that I decided that I simply HAD TO get them. "They even came with replaceable caps," I thought. "How cool is THAT?" After I ordered it, I anxiously awaited what I thought would be the next generation of portable headphone design. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find that the hype was hardly justified. I returned them within just a couple days worth of testing. The fact is, while Sony may want you to believe that their stylish W.EAR 'phones are comfortable, I found them to be anything BUT. The earpieces are held together by a spring-loaded mechanism, allowing you to adjust the size and theoretically fit any ear. The problem with this idea, though, is that the springs are entirely too strong and continually press against your ear... I had a painful reddish branding on the top of my ears within the first day of usage. If there were a lock of some sort to stop the force of the spring, maybe I wouldn't be complaining about the pain. The other problem with the spring-loaded earpiece is that it's really small and it only grabs onto the TOP of your ear. And because the earphones are so heavy (much heavier than your average pair of in-ear 'buds), they tend to drag your ears down, increasing the distance between the ear and the speakers, thereby decreasing the sound quality. These 'phones are actually quite nice sounding -- that's assuming you cup them to your ears with your hands to keep them in place for any amount of time. And if you're buying these 'phones for the style and look, you may be in for a shock when you find out how awkward and bulky they are. They're much larger than I had imagined. They make you look like you attached two jumbo-size snails to your ears, and the aforementioned "floppiness" effect caused by the weight dragging your ears down certainly doesn't help matters. All in all, I wouldn't go for a jog wearing these 'phones despite what Sony may lead you to believe -- unless you find looking like a basset hound with long flappy ears to be a style statement. Maybe someday the clip-on style will be popular in the portable headphone category, but not before the multitude of design flaws are addressed.

By A Customer
I brought my pair of earphones some years back. It was fine for the first 2 years. I realised that the wire that connect the left to the right would work itself loose as time passes. Soon, the ear phone can only work on the left side.
But I thought this was due to normal wear and tear so i brought a newer model from sony recently. the same time happened but this time the right one was ok. And this is only like in 6 months.
I suggest thinking carefully if buying similar types of ear phones. not just sony but other brands too.

Best set of headphones I ever bought
By A. Prichard
I bought a set of these 8/10 years ago when they were the newest model and they were great. The cord is just the right length that you can use them comfortably on just about anything but a TV. The sound quality was great right up to the day I broke them. And best of all they're WAY durable. I'm murder on headphones since mine go everywhere with me. In the time I've had these I've gone through 2 dozen or more spare sets (one of which was also a Sony) that were only used when I couldn't find these, and they only just broke a few weeks ago. I've been hunting for another set of these specifically since then.
