Better than the ones that come with the iPod!

Love them. They are comfortable and easier to use than the ones that come with the iPod. Also, the little winder-thing is an added bonus because it keeps the wire short so you don't get tangled in it.
So good I'm ordering another pair!

I don't write reviews for items hardly ever but this pair of headphones deserved some positive praises from me. First let me say that I've been enjoying MP3 players since my first RIO back in 2000 or whenever, way back when. I've tried on so many different headphones over the years and have observed many different fits and sound qualities. I'm a big fan of dance and electronic music, so having a low frequency response with my headphones is definitely important. I've paid more money for a supposed high quality brand only to be completely disappointed that I don't like risking low bass for low (or high) money. That being said, the bass on this isn't bad at all! Sure, it's big, it's not deep, but it does what it needs to do without sacrificing treble or the mid range.
***TIP #1: Currently I use a iPhone 3GS and I compensate for the low bass by setting the EQ setting to Electronic or Classical.***

Also, for the many designs that I've tried over the years, the ear bud tends to be my favorite (although I plan on purchasing Bose over the ear headphones sometime within the next year). The two problems with ear buds in general are that, #1-the rubber buds pop out a lot on accident, and #2-they fall out of the ear. I'll go on record by saying that these ear buds have hardly ever popped out at all!
***TIP #2: If you switch the ear buds by putting the right bud in the left ear and the left bud in the right ear, they are MUCH MUCH MORE STURDY and stay in place really well.*** No more having to fidget by readjusting the ear buds every couple of minutes.

And finally, the little handy remote. I love being able to control the music, switch tracks, pause tracks, and control the volume without having to take it out every single time.
***TIP #3: Plus with iPhone 3GS the built-in microphone inside the remote lets me talk on the phone without having to hold it in my ear!***

I will say that this is also the reason why I gave the Ease of Use rating a 4 star, because something happened with the remote and now the remote buttons seem to be stuck and I have to push extra hard to use the functions. Not a good sign since it hasn't been a year yet :-( So why am I buying this again? Well, I lost my previous pair and instead of finding another set of headphones with all these features I'd rather go with this because the price point is worth it and next time I'll plan on being more careful with the remote to make sure it doesn't get broken again.
Nice buds!

I have been using these since early December 2009. They really are much more comfortable than the buds that came with my iPhone 3GS. They take up no space, I carry them around in the pouch (that came with it) in my shirt pocket. The remote features work flawlessly and the sound is excellent. They appear to be well constructed. Another feather in the cap for Sony.
Finally!

Reviewer: T. Hartman,
I finally found exactly what I'm looking for. If you're like me and are searching for in-ear headphones that are noise isolating (to reduce hearing damage) with a remote AND microphone for your iPhone, then these are perfect. Every other option is around $70 and are of the same quality. I had Zagg Buds and these are better than those. I am glad an affordable alternative finally came out. Thanks SONY.
They're great!

I bought these primarily to use while jogging and they do everything I need them to do. Most importantly they stay in my ears and I can change tracks easily while my iPhone is tucked away in my arm band or tights. Sound quality is great, I'm comparing to the stock ear buds. If you were fine with that sound you're great with these. Obviously you're not going to get the sound of a $100 pair or even some lesser. However, the option to change tracks, play/pause, answer/drop calls coupled with the same sound quality that I was already getting and they actually stay in my ears... All that for $30??? 5 Stars!
