SONXTRONIC White ICE Xdr-8001 Vertical in Ear Ultralight Sport Running Headband Headphones (mdr-w08l Style White and Silver)

These headphones are so light I keep forgetting I have them on when I get up my chair. I use voice typing and need a quiet room for that, so I use these while I'm working to listen to music. I also need to hear the environment around me, so this style is perfect. The sound is great, they sit very comfortably in the well of your ear rather than in the canal, so it sounds more like you have room speakers going. It feels more natural to me than something in my ear canal or covering my ears and they don't give me that stretching feeling of something stuck in my ears nor do they get hot like cupped headphones. Overall, very good purchase for me.

I love these headphones, but I couldn't give them 5 stars because the wires are covered with that sort of rubbery substance that is a pain in the rear when they get the least bit tangled. They are far superior to the over the ear headphones I've been using since my Sony headphones broke, but those rubbery wires are annoying. I can live with it just to get the great sound quality and not have bits of foam rubber covering my ears catching the sweat. I would definitely recommend them if you are like me and can't afford the Sony brand which is 5 times the cost of these headphones.

I use headsets most of the time. I have many headsets. Everything from Skull Candy wireless to Sony folding. All are nice. However if you use them for hours these are by far the most comfortable. Not big on base but the overall full range sound is very crisp. Great for movies and music. I had these about 20 years ago and loved them. I was surprised to see them again. I'm very happy that the quality is still there with these retro reproductions. Thank you Sony!

Terrrible. I’ve probably purchased 5 or 6 of these. They all break within months. I keep buying b/c options for this type Of headphone is so limited. But these are awful. Low quality - and not that cheap in price. Nevermind the environmental waste. So disappointing

Most in-the-ear headphones have headbands that are too short to have both ear buds comfortably in my ears. These fit fine with room to spare. With daily use they last a couple of years before the audio starts cutting out due to the wire failing at the connector or bud. Like most in-the-ear styles, they are uncomfortable when wearing a tight winter cap that comes down over my ear. The pressure pushing the bud can also make it hard to hear. I use a Koss KPH14K when wearing a tight cap, although they don't stay in on my big head without a cap.

Broke the first time that I put them on, where the adjustable band fits into the 'slot' on the left earpiece. Without this 'slot', the entire left earpiece easily twists and falls off. Tape makes a simple fix, but it's the principle of the matter, you know? Pretty sure they were not damaged in shipping. Anyway, the sound performance is adequate, keep in mind that these headphones do not plug your ears as others do, and this is by design so that there is ample air circulation (and possibly as a safety feature, so that other sounds can be heard especially when jogging or biking). I typically check the reviews before I purchase most items, no one else seems to have the breakage issue. I originally gave the review one star, as I was pissed that they broke so quickly. My attitude quickly changed when I was refunded my money AND given replacement headphones. Wow. I must say that I have NEVER had customer service like this. I changed my review to three star simply because of this service. I will give the new set another go, to see if they survive my fat head and bear paw hands. Stay tuned....

These are an exact copy of the beloved Sony MDR-W08L. When my Sony's broke I was very disappointed that I could not replace them, and I am elated to find these. Amazon seems to have the Sony's for sale, but they are $104. I don't know if these are new old stock or what, but as far as I know Sony hasn't made these in years. Maybe they've restarted production at an excessively high price, I don't know, but these SONXTRONIC are a great value. Much more comfortable than today's earbuds, which never seem to fit right.

Ready to use right out of the package. Earphones are adjustable and fit well. Sound quality is just ok, but good enough for use while working out or walking. The pricing matches the sound quality. i can recommend them for casual use and would buy them again.
