Negative Positive
Title: Mine broke within a week
Review: About 15 years ago, Koss sold a similar design. I still use my Koss phones at work, and bought these for home and workout use. The sound and functionality are fine for the intended use. Trouble is, on the Sonys, the extender band is made of flimsy plastic (Koss used metal), and with the first tug on the cord, it snapped clean through. Portable headphones need to be sturdy, and these are not. This is one of many disappointments with Sony products in recent years. They used to be so good -- what happened? If I'm going to buy a portable product, I need to be able to bang it around a little. Unfortunately, I can find no other manufacturer who makes this design, so if you need them, buy them, but you may need to baby them a little.
