Amazon.com Product Description
These super-light, ear-bud headphones weigh a mere six grams (.18 ounces.) They are the perfect headphone for those who relish lightweight, quality headphones. The silent cap confines the music to the listener's ear and away from those in the immediate area, a plus for those using the headphones in the coffee shop or library. The earphones are also open-air, meaning they allow ambient noises to enter the ear; this translates to a safer headphones, as the listener will be aware of horns, whistles and shouts. The MDR-E818LP's deliver a quality sound, even with their small size. The headphones use sixteen millimeter drive units for a deep bass and clear treble. Sony also uses neodymium magnets which provide more energy per ounce than other conventional magnets. The PET diaphragm gives the headphones a high rigidity for minimum distortion. Finally, Sony's Acoustic Twin Turbo circuit achieves high sonic output by utilizing sound chamber and duct technology. The cord is one meter long (3.3 feet) for ample range of movement.

 Very good sound in a small form factor August 15, 2008
I have tried various ear-bud headphones and I almost always get disappointed. These headphones are a very good exception. They have very good lows compare to others. They certainly blow away the headphones that come with the iPod Nano. They are comfortable to wear, even without the little sponges.
Good deal for earphones July 14, 2008
I also own a pair of Shure noise canceling earphones that I use for airplane trips. But those are too expensive to use for my clumsy workouts with my ipod, so I bought these as an alternative. Sound is much better than the Apple-issue white earphones and also an upgrade over similar JLab earphones I bought last year. The sound is richer and the bass is decent.
4 stars based on price/value.
 Quality is the best so far. The shape fit nicely into ear May 22, 2008

I've had these for about 6 months and they've served their purpose. Decent sound quality, lightweight, and inexpensive. I never had a problem with them being uncomfortable, but they do tend to fall out from time to time when running/working out, which is the main purpose I have them. The real downfall for me was the short cord - if you have your desktop computer tower on the floor, don't expect to be able to reasonably plug them in and listen comfortably from your chair....or if you have your mp3 player in the wrong pocket the cord might not reach to your ears. Not to mention, they're malfunctioning now because of a broken wire probably that is causing one or the other speaker to cut out, so it's time for some new ones and I won't be getting these again. I guess you get what you pay for...
 not the best December 31, 2007

I received these for chistmas as replacement to my ipod earbuds and I am less than satisfied, they will be returned. First, the bud shape is awkward and large, and becomes uncomfortable to wear after 10 minutes use. They are bass-ier than the ipod buds and I can't hear the singer's nuances as well, which may or may not be a minus to others, but I prefer vocals over boom. And yes they are light, but the material is a slick hard-plastic which is hard to grip and also hollow, so anything touching against the bud reflects into your ear..for instance, hair brushing over the outside plastic becomes amplified, which is annoying and distracting.
The sound is decent for the price, and if you have short hair it may not bother you, but these are not the best choice for everyone.
