Before I purchased these, I bought the Dr. Dre In-Ear Beats. While the Beats were great sounding earphones, the just didn't have the low end I was craving. On top of that, in-ear headphones only really work when they're really sealed. The Beats were always dislodging themselves and never really stayed in my ears no matter which tips I used. The cord was heavy and was a nightmare at the gym which constantly pulled the earbuds out. Bottom line, the Beats were great for stationary home use, but nothing else.I decided to give the Sony's a chance. I've always loved the sound of Sony earphones as well as their fit. However, all my previous Sony earphones have had a shelf-life of about 4-6 months due to poor chord quality. No matter which Sony earphones I've owned, the chords always seem to be the Achilles heel.I can't say much about the chord on these earphones because I haven't had them for very long, but it definitely appears that Sony got the memo. The chord is flat but not as wide as the Beats and it seems to be of very good quality.Looking at the earphones themselves, I thought, how could they fit in my ear? Incredibly, they fit perfectly with a great seal. The chord doesn't pull and they don't fall out, not even at the gym.The sound is what you'd expect from Sony earphones. The bass is awesome. A good test song I use is MC Breed "Aint No Future in Yo Frontin." The bass is so low it's barely audible to most earphones. However, these earphones handle it easily. As these earphones get burned in, they sound even better, but even right out of the box they won't disappoint.The only con which I have is with the L-plug. I'd prefer it to be a straight, but that's just a personal preference.If you're looking for a great pair of earphones that can handle everyday use, with great bass, these are perfect.

do not buy the 150.00 head phones for bass these are the best ones out there not too bad on the highs, the mids are great and the bass is just right!i just returned the in ear beats fro dr. dre, these blow them away!
