Very good sound as you would expect from Sony (particularly good bass). Using it for listening to music, You-Tube, and audio-books on my phone and sound is crystal clear. The headphones do not drown out outside sounds if the volume is low-to-medium, but that's only if the outside sound is fairly loud/fairly close-by, and I guess that would happen with most headphones around this price-range. I have an Android phone with no earphone jack, so I also bought a 'Headphone Earphone Adaptor USB Type C to 3.5mm Jack' from Amazon from 'La Brodee Store' for £4.99. The headphone length of wire is about 1.14m (45 inches) from end tip of jack to the earphones, so ok for using with a phone or a Sony Walkman (remember those !), or a laptop/pc monitor, but probably not long enough for watching TV/gaming (you would need some kind of extended). I bought the blue colour headphones which look very smart. The head-band and ear-muffs are comfortable and has a good range of adjustment. Look carefully at the back of each head-set and you will see 'L' and 'R' marked to denote which ear-muff is for left and which is for right. The folding mechanism is good although as long as you treat with care and have good light. Volume is controlled from whichever device you are using and not the headphones themselves, and the headphones do not have a micro-phone. All-in-all really good value smart headphones with very good sound.

I've never really got along with in ear headphones but recently I've increasingly found myself in a position where headphones would have come in handy. I looked around and after a bit of consideration and looking at a few reviews I decided to spend a little more than I initially intended on these.They arrived quickly and I have to say that all in all I'm really impressed. They look fantastic, they're a great colour and look far more expensive than they actually are. Build quality seems very good too although they do feel a little plasticky but that's to be expected. I don't find any headphones particularly comfortable to be honest but these are the most comfortable set of headphones I've ever worn although they're also the most expensive I've ever bought despite still being fairly cheap.What I'm really impressed by though is the sound quality. The sound quality is excellent and far better than I had expected. Also really good is that even on a fairly high volume they don't disturb my partner so they appear to leak little to no sound at all.All in all very happy with them, 3/5 for comfort (although that's most likely just me), 4/5 for quality and 5/5 for looks and sound quality.

As a family with young children it is vital to have a good and diverse selection of headphones - each of us is frequently connected to an electronic device and either shouldn’t disturb the others or requires some peace and quiet. Now our oldest needed a wired headset to take to school and potentially keep it there in her locker, so we simply had to add another one. This Sony headset perfectly filled the need at a very friendly price.Being black it is quite neutral, it is light weight, wears comfortably can be folded together rather neatly. The headband is fairly broad and not as flimsy as you would often see with cheap headsets, so this will survive rough handling in schoolbags. The sound quality is good enough for our purposes; online education, video calls and the occasional podcast. If yo would use it to listen to music you will not be disappointed; the bass is fine, the different sounds are highly distinguishable. Though the headset lacks any controls for bass or volume, nor does it include a micro phone. It does however claim to have active noise cancelling, however I found it fairly ineffective (compared to my super-upscale Bose headset (that has noise cancelling that isn’t even perfect) - I could still my wife’s usual rant directed at me through it , way too clear.All in all this is a very good value, no frill headset. Surprised by the price / quality actually. Would recommend.

JVG - Just very good.

These are great headphones for the price:- lightweight- folds down quite nicely so fits into a schoolbag well- reasonable sound quality.It would have been nice if these came in a small case but I guess we can't have everything!

Great sound and lightweight. Excellent product fir the money
