Title: Looks can be deceiving...
Review: It's got a lot of good things to it... but why the hell did Sony go and make the rubber coating for the cord so weak? I've had mine less than four months and the rubber coatinng is ripping in several places. And if you got the white ones which I did to match my ipod, it easily gets dirty. For the price I paid, I really expected to have this pair of earphones for a long time. I mean everything else is great, the feel and comfort of the earpiece as well as the sound... but the damn rubber coating. I don't exactly put it through any tough environments, I put it in my messenger bag pocket and take it out... thats it. I have a different pair for workouts so it's not like I'm doing any thing that leads to the sheathing from ripping so easily. I use it at work, in a cubicle. So I don't recommend this brand. Unless you treat it like you would a baby, then it will eventually wear out and start to rip.
