    The whole construction is fake and creaks a lot every time you wear them (i.e., when you grab them by the headphones to open them for wearing). They won't break, but EVERY time you think that - especially the rotating joints of the headphone with the headrest - they will stay in your hands. Their performance is average but good to very good (for the cost). However, the outrageous thing is that the -plastic- "fabric" of the headphones disintegrated (melted, torn) at the contact with the plastic rim and in the center (sound output hole), which means that pieces of membrane (and maybe foam material) get into your ears. Not completely Chinese, disgusting.

    edit: melted within a year! (with daily but mild office use), SECOND time with the same model (which I initially considered very strange to possibly be a defective piece!!).

    For their price, they have an awesome sound. Very balanced and clear without silly extra bass, etc. Of course, there is no isolation, but at this price, you can't expect much

    This review is about the colour: Black

    4 years of daily use.
    Very comfortable for long hours of use, lightweight, and with a soft cushion.
    The only "downside" is the peeling of the covering around the cushion, which started from the first year and recently, one of the cushions partially detached from its base.
    But understandable for 4 years of use! I would buy the same again if I don't find a better alternative

    Good headphones, but they broke after about a year, very easily, just by taking them off, so terrible construction, I never dropped them, and I took good care of them.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    You can also describe the headphones as impressive for their money. They have incredible bass and very clear sound. The only negative is the size of the ear-caps, which is very small (at least in my ears).

    I took them for another use and it turned out to be for something else.
    They are purely for mobile devices, no noise cancellation at all, microphone tragedy.

    -Sound is good, bass is okay, they fit well on the head.
    -Lightweight, convenient.

    For music, movies from the phone it's okay, but you can also do the job with more affordable ones

    This review is about the colour: Black

    Extremely good headphones, they have perfect sound, powerful bass, and very good build quality. The only negative thing I can say is that after a few hours they become very tiring for the ears. Otherwise, they are excellent for their price and definitely worth it.

    I got them as a gift and it seems like it was the best choice. I only have positive comments and I see that their use is everyday (and due to COVID 19). I have tried them in music and they are amazing.

    I give 5 stars for the very good quality they have at this very low price (up to 30 euros). Maybe a little issue is their intensity which is a bit lower than I would like but this can be more subjective.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    You can see in the reviews that they are flawless in terms of bass, sound, volume, etc... but there is an issue with their construction regarding their ear cushions because after 2 years of good use, both of them fell apart because they are made of leatherette and not real leather... (on the ears and on top), it's really a shame because if they didn't have this issue, they would be the best value for money headphones from SONY.

    They have a difference in weight compared to others because they have metal to be durable. The headphones are big, loud, and bassy.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    The headphones have excellent sound. Just like all Sony headphones. I had the MDZX310AP for 2 years and they were exceptional. I wish I had bought them again. These ones are much bigger, bulkier, I don't like their large black plastic, and they also put pressure on my head while the previous ones were smaller and didn't put pressure. Also, okay, in terms of sound, these ones are better but the difference is so small.

  • The whole construction is fake and creaks a lot every time you wear them (i.e., when you grab them by the headphones to open them for wearing). They won't break, but EVERY time you think that - especially the rotating joints of the headphone with the headrest - they will stay in your hands. Their performance is average but good to very good (for the cost). However, the outrageous thing is that the -plastic- "fabric" of the headphones disintegrated (melted, torn) at the contact with the plastic rim and in the center (sound output hole), which means that pieces of membrane (and maybe foam material) get into your ears. Not completely Chinese, disgusting.

    edit: melted within a year! (with daily but mild office use), SECOND time with the same model (which I initially considered very strange to possibly be a defective piece!!).

  • The whole construction is fake and creaks a lot every time you wear them (i.e., when you grab them by the headphones to open them for wearing). They won't break, but EVERY time you think that - especially the rotating joints of the headphone with the headrest - they will stay in your hands. Their performance is average but good to very good (for the cost). However, the outrageous thing is that the -plastic- "fabric" of the headphones disintegrated (melted, torn) at the contact with the plastic rim and in the center (sound output hole), which means that pieces of membrane (and maybe foam material) get into your ears. Not completely Chinese, disgusting.

    edit: melted within a year! (with daily but mild office use), SECOND time with the same model (which I initially considered very strange to possibly be a defective piece!!).

  • For their price, they have an awesome sound. Very balanced and clear without silly extra bass, etc. Of course, there is no isolation, but at this price, you can't expect much

  • It is very good with strong bass, consistently in the ears. It is a very good purchase

  • 4 years of daily use.
    Very comfortable for long hours of use, lightweight, and with a soft cushion.
    The only "downside" is the peeling of the covering around the cushion, which started from the first year and recently, one of the cushions partially detached from its base.
    But understandable for 4 years of use! I would buy the same again if I don't find a better alternative

  • Good headphones, but they broke after about a year, very easily, just by taking them off, so terrible construction, I never dropped them, and I took good care of them.
