Sit close to your Computer.......2007-11-03
Headphones work great, comfortable, good sound quality, but wish the phone leads just came out of one side, another drawback, depending on whether you're are right on top of your PC or not, the overall cord length is too short, only 40" long. There are better choices out there. I have similarly priced headphones that have a 98" cord, and it comes out of only one side of the phones. I would recommend shopping around if this cord length may be an issue for you. Extension leads may be purchased, but cost almost as much as the headphones themselves! Luckily I had an old extension lead. Sorry SONY. A die hard SONY fan nevertheless.
Eep.......2007-09-23
They work, but that is about the best I can say for it. They are a poor fit to the ear and worse of all, the cord is very, very short. This is not suitable unless you can have the source very close to you, and useless if your audio jack is in the back of your computer as it won't reach.
Great for the price........2007-09-08
Some inexpensive headphones were needed for a children's computer lab. These fit the bill perfectly. The sound quality is decent and they appear to be fairly sturdy (none broken after six weeks of kid use). For an adult, the over the head piece is a bit snug, but with a child's smaller head, they work fine.
Sony Bargain Headphones.......2007-05-18
I understand the concept of "you get what you pay for," and I also thought that the Sony brand stood for at least a reasonable expectation of quality no matter the price. So I was very disappointed to discover that these $9.99 headphones are inferior to the ones that came with the Magnavox JogProof CD player that I purchased from Kragen Auto Parts for $15.99.
Quite satisfactory - full bass - good clarity.......2007-04-20
Back in the 1980's I purchased an Awia portable stereo cassette player (walkman) based on it's superior sound (at least compared to others that were offered at the time). I was still using the headset that came with that stereo until a couple days ago when the left side quit. I was very satisfied with the sound as I thought it was well balanced and natural. For a replacement I wanted something that sounded similar to what I was used to hearing. Having been out of the market for 20 years, I had no idea what the new headsets were like. I tried an in the canal type headset and was disappointed in the lack of bass response (comapred to what I was used to). So I decided to try a headphone that was more like the Awia with the open speakers. Sony kept appearing as a highly regarded brand. I wasn't looking for audiophile quality - I probably can't hear that well any more anyway - I just wanted good and cheap. This Sony headset should fit the bill for me. It is a little fuller in the bass than I am used to, but the clarity is considerably better. I described my old Awia headset as being balanced and natural - like a concert hall - and not in need of an equalizer. In comparison I think I would describe this Sony headphone as full and clear, like a studio - more like listening through an enclosed headphone than an open headphone. It's not quite like my old headphones, but quite satisfactory. I think if you like a full bass response you will like this headphone set.
I don't feel as though these are going to fall off my head - actually they are quite tight and I am going to see if I can relax the headband a bit.

Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy pristine audio while listening to your favorite tunes with the Sony MDR-D777LP Altus stereo headphones. The phones owe much of their elite audio quality to Sony's aura-nomic design, which angles the drivers inside the ear cups parallel to your ears, thereby increasing comfort and delivering a more natural listening environment. The high-definition neodymium drivers, meanwhile, produce an ultra- wide frequency response of 8 Hz to 80 kHz, far wider than most comparably priced headphones. And if you're weary of cutting off all outside noise when commuting or traveling, you can turn to the built-in ambient sound switch, which lets surrounding sounds penetrate the ear cups. The features add up to a topnotch listening experience, with remarkable highs, deep bass, and exceptional clarity.
Other features include a brushed aluminum design, a foldable housing that fits conveniently into a carrying pouch for easy transport, and a single-sided 3.94- foot cord that minimizes tangles on the move. The MDR-D777LP headphones are backed by a 90- day warranty on labor and a one-year warranty on parts.

A true reason why they were on sale.......2007-12-24
Bought these the day after Thanksgiving sale on Amazon for a great price of 30 dollars in comparison to the original price of over 130 dollars. Got headphones and was not impressed with the sound quality of these headphones. Very low bass and as it is noise cancelling, it also acts as a mini-speaker since it protects so loudly when off the ears. Also within 7 days, the right phone stopped working and I had to send off to Sony Service Center to get fixed. The good thing is that that was a very fast turnaround. Final thought, dont purchase if you are a true audiophile as you will be disappointed, even at the discounted price of 30 dollars. I have had 10 headphones I was happier with.
Not Bad.......2007-12-24
it's actually better than my laptop's speaker, well of course what do u expect from a laptop's speaker. anyway, it has a good and clear sound and a bass sound, too. it's a descent headphones, so it's not that very good like other major brand headphones, but it's worth it, especialy from amazon. i myself feel satisfy enough for this headphones.
Best pair of cans I ever owned.......2007-12-24
This is the first pair of high quality headphones I ever bought. I tested them at the Sony Style store in Las Vegas and instantly fell in love. They were gifted to me as a birthday present, and I constantly thank my wife for them. Most of the over ear headphones I get usually tend to hurt my ears after an hour or so of wearing, but I can wear these all day without any problem. Some of the other reviewers claim differently, so I guess it has to do with how your ears are shaped.
The other reviewers claim that the Y connector breaks, but I had these since April 2007 (Dec 24, 2007 right now) and I never had a problem. I use them while mostly at work so they do not get battered as much as if I had them in a backpack. However they do accompany me on the plane as I tend to travel with a fair amount of frequency. They do shut out a lot of the engine noise and screaming babies and they continue to show their comfort as I was able to sleep with them on. That's saying a lot as I don't usually sleep on planes.
When my wife bought these for me they were about $150. Amazon now has them listed at $35. I disagree with most of the negative reviews about this product and consider it a steal at this cost. The only thing that seems more true is that Sony favored the mids and highs on these headphones and not so much the bass. I listen to a lot of classical and jazz guitar so I'm not missing that much. If you are into pop or dance music you might want to look at something that has a little more thump, but the clarity on these for vocals and instrumental is amazing.
no idea why.......2007-12-13
people rate them so low. IMO these are good headphones for the portable use. Yes they are no grados RS1 or akgs K701. But they are very comfortable and have good sound. btw: i have grado rs1 and akg k 701 ..
Where's tha beef?.......2007-11-30
I thought I would upgrade to HD headphones from a pair of SENNHEISER HD280's, BOY WAS THAT A MISTAKE! The extra hi frequency range and lower response was what attracted me to the flame, and it burned!
Worst feature:
-There's no kick in the bass, and if I tried to max it out, it just distorted the track.
-It's got SCREAMING hi's and very weak lows. Not what I was hoping for AT ALL!
Best feature:
they're cheap (U get what u pay for!)
Soooo, I just bought a pair of Sennheiser HD-555's a sec ago. Hope they sound better than the 280's(from what I've read they do)

worked like a charm..........2007-12-12
I have had a hard time getting my 2 year old to wear headphones while watching his portable dvd player and these headphones worked like a charm. They were comfortable, yet stayed in place plus they drowned out the engine sounds on the airplane!
Works great!.......2007-11-30
We got these headphones for our 2 year old son and they work great! On a long plane ride, we just plug them into our iPod Touch and let him watch cartoons. They were just the right size for his toddler-sized head.
fits perfectly.......2007-10-26
My two year old loves these headphones. they fit him great and the long cord is great so the headphones don't get pulled off his head each time he turns his head. A great buy!
Quick Question.......2007-10-16
Just wondering - would these headphones be large enough to fit the head of an adult?
Work great!.......2007-09-16
We just went on a long flight with our 3 year old and watching movies really passed the time. These headphones fit him really well and he was quite happy to wear them. The volume level was good, I tested them out first and even at the max level on the player it didn't seem too loud.

Good headphones for children .......2007-11-12
These work well for children. We have had problems with earbuds that are too big for small ears and headphones that fall off. These work nicely.
earphones.......2007-04-03
Great headphones for a child - cushion-y, comfortable, adjustable, light, and just right for my 3-yr old. I purchased them for a portable DVD player to take on a long plane ride. My daughter didn't take well to iPod earphones and kept pulling them out of her ears. These, however, she really liked. Got used to them pretty fast, too. I would recommend this product for a child.
Multi Use Headphones for kids.......2007-03-21
These headphones and light and fit a child's head really well. My kids use them with their ipod shuffle. They never get tired of wearing them. The cord is really long, so I keep it wrapped up when they are using it with their shuffle.
Nice design, poor quality.......2007-03-20
I was really excited to try out the Califone Headphones on my daughter while on a 10 hour flight. They worked well at first, but then the right headphone quit working almost immediately. The design is great and fit our daughter well, but I'm disappointed in the quality of this item. These are made for kids and should be relatively durable. I would not recommend this product.
Pretty good headphones for small children.......2007-02-18
I bought these for my 2-year-old for his cassette player. I was hoping they'd have a maximum volume, but I still have to test the volume and set it on the cassette player myself (and hope he doesn't increase it). They are a great size for young kids and seem to be very comfortable.

Okay, but not impressive.......2007-09-18
I use these headphones for my IPod Nano and they are alright, but I liked the original ones that Apple supplied a little bit better. The Sennheisers do not fit my ears as well (and came without cushions, unlike advertised by the picture on Amazon), and the adjustable volume on the cord sometimes provides for unwanted fluctuations in volume. Especially when working out this can be annoying. As far as sound quality goes, they are as good as the original IPod headphones. Still, next time I have to buy new headphones I might try a different pair.
FAST AND GOOD.......2007-08-31
the product was exactly as ordered. . .it was shipped the next day UPS where I could track it being delivered directly to my house. . . .and not to mention it was the cheapest price I found for the earbuds. Thanks
JEFF
Great audio, great feel.......2007-08-10
I'm on my second pair of these Sennheisers and love them. The audio is great, and they're gentle on the ears as long as the foam covers stay in place. The case keeps the cable from tangling which is a nice feature. My only suggestion would be for Sennheiser to supply additional foam covers, as you'll probably lose one of them soon or later.
Very good.......2007-07-27
Very beautiful earphone and with excellent music quality.
But one picture of this product on amazon was ipod, not sennheiser. There are words for that picture but I didn't see it and make a purchase because of that picture---read carefully before you decide.
Quality Ear-Buds and Case.......2007-02-03
The wind-case and volume control make this compact set worth the small investment. The sound quality is equal to, or better than, any similar priced ear-buds. I like the equal length wires and the wind-up device is easy to use. I just ordered another for my wife's MP3. great for travel or going to the gym.
Product Description
Enjoy superior performance from Sony's ultra compact and lightweight MDR-710LP headphones. The handy folding mechanism makes storage fast and convenient when traveling.
Customer Reviews:
Surprisingly deep bass, soft on midrange and highs. But I'm still impressed. .......2007-10-30
When I first put these on, I was pleasantly shocked by the depth of the bass these headphones obtained. I was listening to the movie score to the Transformers Movie by Steve Jablonsky, where much of the rich bass is lost to the tiny ear buds. But with these, that is not the case! Suddenly the richness of the drums and other bass-rich instruments became alive. So much so that I had to turn off the Bass Boost on my Creative Zen V because it was overwhelming the mids and highs. I'm not too thrilled that the mids and highs don't seem to punch through as powerfully as the bass does, so it takes some adjustments on my Zen V equalizers to get it to where I'm more satisfied with what I'm hearing. I haven't found the perfect setting yet, but I'm still working on it...I've only started using the headphones today.
(If you think about it, I think the sound for many of our MP3 players are adjusted for ear buds which don't carry the bass like larger earphones like these do.)
I like that these headphones fold up nicely and have a nice protective hard case to store them in. Compactness is good thing for me - easier storage, less clutter.
Are they comfortable? Eh, somewhat. The ear pads are not very large, so there are pressure points on the ears that do get uncomfortable over time. I'm not fully happy with the headband portion, it tends to put pressure on the top of my head when I wear them. I'm hoping that it will get a bit more flexible over time.
What I'm really enjoying about these headphones, especially as a mom, I like that I can put these on and my music immediately whisks me away because it just sounds so darn good compared to my small ear buds. I'm surprised on how much of the outside world is blocked out. I never knew that experience was possible without paying mega-money on sophisticated equipment. Ok, so these Sony headphones may not be the best, but they are surely doing the trick for me.
I was fortunate enough to purchase a set of this particular headphones by Sony for a fraction of the price offered here at Amazon. I normally would not have considered paying so much for headphones of any kind unless they are wireless. So for the price, I'm not regretting my purchase.
I'm sure it looked *great* on the engineer's workstation..........2007-09-15
These have to be the worst I've tried, as far as over-the-ear, small headphones go. I've had 1980's sony "came-with-the-walkman" headphones that sounded better than this. My list of grievances:
1. Ill fit. Pads press on ears in such a way that makes for pain. There's very little isolation with these, you'll *still* hear Everything from Everyone. They don't "settle down" to the point where you forget they are on your head. You're always aware you have this thing on your head.
2. Bad sound. midrange and treble are so smoothed-over you don't get anything from the music. It's like elevator muzak! My music, through these, lost all impact, all believability. Very un-sony like performance, more like 5 dollar made-in-china-by-a-no-name performance.
3. The folding thing is a great complication. As a geek in love with machines I can appreciate the thought that went into this design, but it is that very design which makes 'em unsuitable for serious portable (or fixed) use. They're great folded, and worse than mediocre when unfolded and on your ears.
Your money's better spent on Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones instead. I have 'em and love 'em so far. Those puppies do have hi-endish sound, and good, maybe even great, comfort.
Compact design gets in the way, sound is poor........2007-01-20
When not on my head, the fold-up design makes handling these headphones awkward. When on my head, I wish I had bought something else.
Lightweight, lasting comfort, LOUD, great frequencies.......2007-01-07
I don't care for the fold-up design, nor does it bother me. That said, these headphones are awesome. They are $50 headphones, and for $50, the sound is amazing. I have never personally owned headphones that sounded as good as these do.
I speculated before buying them that the bass wouldn't be that great given their compact size, but i was very wrong. I was surprised at how much bass these headphones reproduced.
These are also the only pair of headphones I've had that were loud enough to make me turn the volume down (as opposed to turning the volume down to avoid distortion). I have a Sansa e260r and they hurt my ears at the highest volume setting!
Maybe it's just been too long since I've bought a pair of headphones, but I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
Another thing I like about these headphones is that they are light enough that I can hardly feel them, so they stay comfortable. And I like the material that goes on my ears - it's soft.
Definitely recommend these headphones if you are spending less than $60!
Solid build, comfortable on head, sound is only OK.......2007-01-02
If given the option I'd probably give these 3.5 stars. They're solidly built from initial feel (see my photos) and comfortable enough on my ears. As another reviewer said, the springy head band causes them to fold up when taken off with one hand though it's easy enough to get them back on. The sound is only "OK," so it's a false and exaggerated claim to declare these "The Best Headphones for the iPod." A stellar headphone is certainly the comparably priced Sennheiser PX100's (I own these, too). Unfortunately, the MDR-710's can't come close to the PX100's clarity and instead deliver a somewhat muddy quality to the music (though with plenty of bass).
One clear advantage of these Sony's over the Sennheiser PX100's is that these are closed phones, meaning that little sound leaks out to annoy the person sitting near you. The PX100's leak much more sound, in comparison.
To be honest, I think these are decent phones and unless you're really picky you'll probably be completely happy you bought them. They're comfortable, fold up small, come with a plastic case, don't leak sound, and are solidly built, and have decent enough sound for your iPod.
