I've tried several brands of head phones and Sony keeps making the best. Very good economical headphones.

This is not my first rodeo with a set of Sony headphones. In fact, in the last five years I’ve become entirely dependent on Sony headphones. I work in my Sony XM4s during the day. I sleep in my Sony XM3s at night. I don’t have XM5 headphones yet because the headband redesign didn’t go in the direction I was hoping for. The band on the XM5s looks too thin to be comfortable.I gave the Sony H9 a try because they offer 7.1 channel surround sound and active noise cancellation.The Good:• The INZONE H9 are gaming headphones with true noise cancellation. This is a niche that is desperately lacking in the gaming headphone marketspace.• The noise cancellation in the H9 is in the same league as the WH-1000 series. This is huge! Same dedicated noise cancelling processor chip.• On top of active noise cancellation, these headphones are like the majority of big cup gaming headphones and also provide solid passive noise cancellation.• The active and passive noise cancellation combines and adds up to better noise cancelling than my WH-1000XM4s.• The fit is comfortable and in a key way, more comfortable than the XMs. The XMs have shallow ear cups and the drivers press up right against the ears. I’ve grown to ignore it but it’s not good for headphone hygiene in the long run. These leave plenty of space.Accounting for the elite noise cancelling quality and solid build of these headphones, the H9s are a little underpriced if anything to compete in the gaming headphone marketspace. This is great for us consumers. But how is it financially feasible? That’s what leads to…The Bad:• The packaging of the Sony H9 headphones stands out from the crowd. Gaming headphones traditionally come in a nice and rigid box with holographic art all over it. The box itself feels premium. The rigid box bit is even true for Sony’s WH-1000 series headphones. Not so here.• The box these H9s come in is flimsy, rough, and there’s nothing pretty about it save for the splash of purple on the outer box.• I got the H9s new and the outer box with the branding is so thin that it had a few tears. Not only that, but there is no security seal on the bottom of the box, which can easily be opened.And there you have it. Sony cut costs big time on packaging. But Sony didn’t cut costs on headphone quality and features.Conclusion:Skip the H3 and H7. The Sony INZONE H9 is the best active noise cancelling PC gaming headset on the market.

Overall, these headphones are better than I expected. They pair easily. The sound is crisp, if a little trebly, normal for these kinds of headphones. The ear pieces are small enough for me to get a motorcycle helmet over them. Battery life is several hours of use.My only real comment is that they’re very light. I find the neck wrap to often sink left or right with normal walking around use. Not a big deal but not as place stable as Klipsch and Sony’s that I’ve had.

I just felt obligated to add another review. These earbuds are everything. The sound quality is better than my sony expensive ear muffs. Don't sleep on these.

The Sony, Black MDR-ZX110, is good and look nice. Amazon Deliveries on time but drops the package on my neighbor front door (wrong street address). That is why I think my package is stolen.

There is only a few products that came be compared to Bose, one of these I had originally purchased, the Sony WH1000, they had a great sound, although sound is subjective, for me the Sony headphones were bass heavy and missed a lot of the mids, regardless of that, they kept disconnecting and the noise cancellation kept changing to ambient even tho I had the setting turned off, they died so I purchased the same Sony wh1000 only in buds, they were possibly the worst pair of earbuds I ever owned, the fit was awful, they were very pathetic at staying in my ear no matter what size of buds i used, s,m or l. Also they kept disconnecting..again. So I switched to Bose and have been happy, the noise cancellation is perfect, I work in a loud atmosphere, but i don’t hear a thing outside of the earphones they’re that good. The sound does a better job at hitting both the bass and mids with a versatile equalizer that can adjust the sound to my own ear, the Sonys had this too but no matter what I still couldn’t get those mids on it. Another difference is the headband itself is made of metal, which for me is just better, more solid and long term durable.In summary. Bose for me is the clear winner. If your on the fence about what direction to take in headphones, I suggest you don’t even contemplate the Sony wh1000 buds. A huge waste of money, The Sony headphones are good,comfy and have a great battery life but side by side Bose is the clear winner.

Sticking earbuds in my ear is not comfortable for me, so I like the old fashion headphones with cable. Simple pimple I plug it in on my phone and I'm on the treadmill listening to my music or watching vids, while everyone else at the gym is doing their thing. Its a Sony product, at a great price, and it gives great sound quality.

I had some original Sony MDR110LP from back in the 90's-00's that are now discontinued and over priced. Got them originally with my walkmans and I love the classic look, feel, and sound.This Koss KPH7 are very very close. The sound is a little more treble than warm, and the sony's were nice and warm sounding, but still light and open, but this Koss is in no way tinny sounding. Both basically work like open back headphones because the drivers are so small (they dont cover the whole ear, like larger over ear headphones), so some sound is able to travel out through the foam pads.They are not loud, even with sound on my flac player turned up to 80-85%, but i rarely need to go past that. Any more than that and you get distortion.If you are used to larger over the ear studio monitors or high end open backed headphones, this will be a step down. And in general, sound quality is average, maybe even a little less than your average sony, philips, or apple in-ear phones.But I bought it because i still prefer headphones over in-ear phones and I do prefer the comfort and open sound these give compared to any in-ear phones, whether high end or consumer - and i do have multiple pairs of in-ears from consumer bose, philips, sony, apple, to high end sennheiser.For general, casual listening, outdoors or indoors, I have a use for these, and I really like them. They are light weight, comfortable, more durable than in-ear phones, and I'm okay with sacrificing some sound quality to get more airy, open-ness.The value is amazing for the price. And if you're looking to replicate that vintage 80-90's sounding tech of portable cd players, walkman, and hand-held television/gameboys, this completely reminds me of that analog sound, maybe not the best warm, and full analog sound, but still -these are very nicely made, the materials are better than average for on-ear heaphones. They have nice clamp pressure, which can be forced looser if needed, and the pads are very very comfy.I would recommend these for what they offer, and for their price. If you just need some very comfortable on-ear phones that you can wear all day and don't want to look flashy with your over-sized over ear headphones, and know that sound will just be decent, for 7$ I'd pick these up while they are still being made.On-ear headphone of this style and size are limited, but this one has that classic look, with a very very good fit, finish, and feel, without being over stated -just a 90's kid in the modern world, rockin headband style phones and comfy foam pads.
