Query: not worth the price

These are cheap, and the sound quality matches the price. At certain volumes and/or frequencies the sound "cracks." Tinny high ranges, washed out lows. I traded my set in for a Koss solo set at about the same price. Not as comfortable (their major drawback), but with much better sound, and less background noise gets in. I'd definitely advise avoiding the Sonys in this price range. Tried a $49 Sony set at the store, however, and those headphones were comfortable and sounded very good. Get what you pay for...
