I only use SONY headphones because I cannot bear music without enough bass from other brands. This one is especially great for me because of its extra bass. It is VERY strong when you insert it deep into your ear canal. Highly recommended for any bass savvy like me. It's also got good cables that don't tangle. Great build quality. Slightly heavy and can be a little uncomfortable if worn for too long, but not too bad. The carrying pouch is very well made, and the three size fittings are very useful too.
