4 Stars Great idea, Satisfactory execution
These headphone are a great idea! And they work good enough for me/for the price. I dance with flow props, and I bought them so that I could clip an iPod shuffle to my hair and move with minimal interference from cords.
And they work alright, however the clips are not incredibly sturdy, with a lot of movement they will fall off your ears. The sound quality is OK, nothing great but nothing to complain about.
All in all, this is a pretty good product. If you are just using it for fun/jogging/dance practice etc they are sufficient. If you really care about the sound quality, I these are not for you.*
*If you don’t care about them being retractable, Phillips has an amazing pair of clip ons which I love and use when I don’t need as much freedom to move. They have great sound quality and last forever, I had to duct tape a piece of the decoration that did not affect sound quality but I think these head phones have been with me about 4 years and still work the same as when I bought them.
2 Stars Fine Sound For Price, but Junky Build
These headphones are fine in terms of sound quality when one considers the price. The biggest problems are as follows.
1) The piece that clips to the ear has a very delicate rubber covering that will eventually peel off. While this doesn’t make the headphone substantially less comfortable, it is annoying.
2) The “retractable cord” broke fast, and in such a way that rather than keeping the cord extended at all times, it keeps it retracted. So you essentially have to fight your headphones to keep them usable. Oh, and you can’t just let the cord move while you listen as doing so creates static.
4 Stars Nice compact phones
These on ear phones have nice sound, and a little more bass than others of this type. The retractable cord feature is really great. I use the phones on bike rides, and this prevents the usual tangling of excessive cord. My only negative is that the cord is so thin, small portable radios that use the cord as an antenna don’t work quite as well.
5 Stars good as always
i bought one in taiwan and i really like it’s design, especially the retractable cord. i bought this one because my stupid dog bit my old one. glad to find it in here since no one store carry this product.
1 Star BEWARE! Cord can tangle
I bought these cans and they worked absolutely great for about 2 weeks. Then something happened and the wind-up feature jammed. Try using headphones with a 3-inch long cord. hmf.
Have you ever edged a lawn with one of those lawn edgers? Well the cord on these cans wind up inside the headphone just like those edgers. Have you ever gotten your lawn edger line tangled? Well, these cans can end up just like that as well. The only difference is, that these cans are NOT user-servicable. That thing that looks like a screw inside these things? It’s not. Unscrew that and the thing will EXPLODE on you.
So because these might tangle, be sure to do a few things. First of all, try not to get kinks in the little cord. It is a small gauge so it has less resillience than other cans’ wires. Also, try not to wind in and out in quick or small incerments. Instead, wind it out all the way, and back in all the way, slowly.
I like these headphones, but keep in mind that IF YOURS DO TANGLE, DO NOT try to fix these yourself. After mine exploded on me because I was simply trying to untangle the line, Sony would not replace them.
Regardless, I hate earbuds, so, if anything best of luck to you.
