"Very short shelf life"

I bought these less than two weeks ago, and they've already crapped out on the right headphone. This is the third time I've bought this brand of headphone, and the third time the right earbud has crapped out after only a short amount of moderate use.
If you want headphones that last, don't buy these. It's just frustrating.

I love these earphones! The in-line volume control is wonderful. It's small and not bulky, so it doesn't weigh on your ears. It's very easy to use. The sound is rich and I bought two so I'll have a back-up, because I don't want to be without these even for a day!

I travel on the subways a lot, so these headphones are great for being able to quickly turn down for announcements. The sound quality is great, with the ease of volume control a lot more accessible than with most devices. It also allows me to fine tune my volume preferences rather than more standard settings on most headphones/devices. Great product, I was rather happy to find them here on Amazon.

I've been a fan of this model line for at least four generations. Each set lasts me about two years. I discovered them way back in the days of the minidisc, and while the looks of the earpiece hasn't changed, the sound has definitely gotten better. These phones have always had a deep, clear bass presence lacking in most other earbuds. I don't think bass response is flat, but I've always found it a good sound for rock and/or roll. For audiobooks and blogs it's a bit too clear, and you'll notice lots of background noise and compression artifacts you miss with stock white earbuds.
With the introduction of the latest version, MDR-E829V, Sony changed the right-angle plug slightly (trimed it down a bit) so now it is compatible with the 1st-gen iPhone (thus generation 2 also). Wow. Quite a shock, hearing what these phones can do even with the poor audio quality of the 1st-gen iPhone. Makes the white ones that come with is sound tinny and weak. They are not, however, a proper iPhone headset as they have no mic and no clicky-switch to control iPhone playback/answer/hangup.
Very highly recommended.
"After trying several other headphones"

After trying several different pairs of headphones i bought these because they looked like a pair i had previously had. I went to several different stores and bought the over the ear style of headphones and the ones that go in your ear and these by far were the only ones with bass and exceptional highs also. Unless you want BOSE headphones get these and you will be happy. My only complaint is that they only fit your ear if it's medium to large. If you have small ears don't even bother with these.

The product was as I expected, although, a little larger than I imagined it. Good for quick access and rapid retrieval.
