Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was in search for a pair of cheap noise-reducing earphones to use for gaming or music on my PC. I wanted something lightweight and unobstructive and not too expensive. SONY, once more, delivered a good product at a fair price.
Checking out AMAZON reviews I was on the fence for either these (in black) or the Sennheiser CX300-B. There is a concerning number of reviews on the SENNHEISER complaining about either low material durability and/or interference noises form the cables touching either clothes or surfaces. Since, in my case, the main cable was going to be in constant contact with my desk I decided not to risk it. And did not regret it for a moment.
The SONYs come with three sizes of hardened silicone ear-cones (medium is the one pre-installed) and they work fine in reducing external noise. You will be able to follow a conversation if muted but once the sound is working do not expect to be able to ...multitask (eg: listening to music and holding a conversation with your wife).
They fit easily and I did not experience any discomfort if used for long periods of time.
I am no extreme audiophile but the sound is comparable to my 2+1 set of Logitech Z-2300. The later is an important detail because they come with a remote volume control which has an earphones outlet. Since the total cable length is somewhat less than 4ft (1.2m), I would not be able to use them for my PC which stands on the floor if not for this remote.
The earphones are well built and so far experienced neither friction interference nor static discharges.
My only gripes:
- the earbuds cables are not of the around-the-neck type. I prefer those better because you can take them off and still keep them hanging around your neck without fishing for them later.
- the cable is thin but not flimsy. However, this is not true for the jack. It is remarkably smaller and harder to pull out than the older models I was used to.
Other than that,
RECOMMENDED.
