Amazon.com Product Description
The Sony Street Style Headphones have a behind-the-neck headband that preserves your freedom to wear headgear or keep your hair smooth while listening to your music. The headphones use acoustic turbo circuitry to reproduce clear treble and extended bass response sounds, and the L-shaped mini plugs resist corrosion and ensure a high-quality connection. The featured 30 mm diameter drive units produce a wider dynamic range with less distortion, and the oxygen-free copper cord minimizes noise. It all comes in a package that weighs just two ounces without the cord and stays on your ears during exercise. Sony backs its headphones with a one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

Great for the Price, Most Important: DURABLE
I live in NYC and therefore take headphones wherever I go. I bought this pair to replace my normal pair, with the normal lifespan of my "normal pair" generally 3-4 months. These things take a licking and keep on ticking. Going on 7 months now and no signs of wear. Also, the plastic pieces will break apart upon very large impact/pressure, so all you have to do is snap them back in (only happened once). This prevents the plastic from breaking. Others have complained about noise quality, but I don't think that's relevant for this price range, and I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary (although I wouldn't call myself a music enthusiast either so go figure).

Excellent Headphones!
These street style headphones are of excellent quality and great sound. They have no in-line volume control to get in your way, and work perfectly with iPods.

They are also very comfortable and fit perfectly behind the ears.

Perfect, reliable little headphones!

You can do better
These headphones can be slightly uncomfortable around the ears. Sometimes the part that loops behind the head is too bulky to sit comfortably while leaning on headrests or to fit under hoodies.

I've had these headphones for about 4 months and the sound quality is waning. i can only hear from one earpiece most of the time.

So basically, go for a higher quality, more comfortable item!
