Great value
I needed something to use at work and I have all wireless or lightening adapters that I use at home. I donât have Bluetooth at work. The sound quality, based on the price, is what you would expect from Sony. They are reliable and comfortable for my occasional use. If you need some old fashioned headphones and donât want in the ear ones, these are the perfect set. I regret not getting the ones with a microphone. But, that was 100% my choice and not at all reflective of the product.

Awesome
Purchased 2 pairs for my boys to start the school year and they’ve been going strong since August. Both are still working and in great shape. Easy to use, the cord is about average length, the sound gets pretty loud and is really clear. Great for the price.

Great Budget Headphones with Solid Sound Quality
For the price, these Sony headphones are a solid choice. The sound quality is surprisingly goodâbalanced with decent bass and clear highs, making them perfect for casual music listening or watching videos. Theyâre also super lightweight, which makes them comfortable for long periods of use.However, the build quality reflects the budget price. The plastic feels a bit flimsy, so Iâd recommend handling them carefully if you want them to last. Another small downside is that the ear padding isnât the most plush, so they can feel a bit snug after extended use.That said, these headphones are reliable and deliver great sound without breaking the bank. Perfect as a backup pair or for anyone looking for quality on a budget! Just donât expect premium durability.

Good bang for the buck
Not the world’s best, but not the worst by far. These have a good bass response. There’s a bit of hiss on the high end, but it’s nothing that can’t be handled with an EQ. Very lightweight. These are not noise cancelling, but are good to watch a movie or listen to music in private.

Great little cheap headphones!
In the evening I enjoy sitting outside on my deck smoking a cigar and sipping some bourbon while streaming movies and TV shows. My TV is connected to a stereo receiver and I plug in these headphones so I can clearly hear the audio and not disturb any neighbors. These headphones are PERFECT for me! The sound is very clear and impressive for such inexpensive headphones! To me, they sound better for how I use them than some more expensive headphones I have owned. I have been through about four of these headphones over about 10 years. I replace them when the covering over the foam ear pads start flaking off – typically after 2-3 years of DAILY use – rather than because they have failed. I have NEVER had to dispose of a pair due to them not working, only doing so due to aesthetics. I’m not an audiophile and I’m not suggesting that they rise to the the level of really good headphones, but they are are very good if you just need a cheap set of headphones that sound great.

Nice improvement on an already good model of Sony ON ear headphones
June 2023: Well another pair … one of the pair I bought in 2022… has failed completely on one side at least. This is the second pair of these “110’s” (look at the end of the model number) that has done this in say a year to a year 1/2 at best. I may have gotten lucky but I had a pair of the “100’s” (sound basically the same, discontinued, and they have a thicker insolation around the wire .. aka a thicker cable) that lasted me for about 10 YEARS. Under the same condition these last two pair that broke on me were subjected to. I am on the borderline of saying “I cant recommend these” anymore … but I admit for the right price I may get another pair and just KNOW these will not last and if i get even a single year out of them, that will be great. It stinks and I am NOT happy but, the other options I see do not sound as good in this price range or sound as good but are made even cheaper. I want a pair that sonud decent enough when eq’ed (I do like my music) but aren’t 100’s of dollars since alot of times i am in the hot Florida heat and humidity. That pair that lasted 10 years at least I am sure I even got them in a unintential rain storm or two over that time. These 110;s dont seem to last. Even the pair of Sony “300/310s” I have in red have an EVEN THINNER cable.Feb 2023: just noticed this yesterday but between that pair that seemed like it was tuned funny and another pair i use at my laptop (main computer i use alot) … the earpads that NORMALLY flake to pieces in no time … well in both pair they are a-ok and not even starting to flake off … from an old pair that broke i still have some memory foam earpads that i can swap on anytime i want (they are more comfortable though the stock pads are decent enough too comfort wise) … but credit where it’s due on the not flaking to pieces issueJan 2023 Update for “Muddy” pair vs others EQ’d the same way … well i have to go back and read my review … I think i adjusted the mids somehow but i have been using this pair constantly and not only does the pair bought in Jan 2022 still work fine, the earpads which i expected to go by now, are still ok and also the sound issue … EQ’ed thanks to Rockbox … I dont notice any “issue” (granted my expectations of these NOT being audiophile quality sound but a good clear V-shape with decent mids .. not too back and not too forward) … yeah i am ok with even that pair, nowFeb 2022 update to the newest Jan 2022 pair i mentioned sounding muddy. I have used them a few days and now i think I have the fix … they need EQ help but they sound decent now, even if not “great”. My fix was in Rockbox (Sansa mp3 players running Rockbox was always my main use-case) I left “Treble” and “base” alone and kept all of my prior sound settings I had for prior models sounding good. I kept the i want to say around the 1k and 2k EQ ranges that were at zero and i pulled them down a bit … THEN I also (based off a youtube video suggestion on muddy sound) i pulled down the low end in the advanced EQ part, STILL leaving a boosted “base” in the individial “base” part …. hard to explain for those that dont know Rockbox but it’s like an android EQ where you pull the low end down in the slider portion but also ENABLE a “base boost” toggle or something that an EQ app may have … that sort of thing only you have more control over how much the “base boost” is “boosted”.Not all songs sound great but that could be the source file ….even the one i am thinking of doesn’t make me go “wow .. that is not the way i am use to these headphones sounding on that track” …. I still would prefer not having to do this and having them tuned the way they use to be tuned (maybe i got a bad pair) … but they are usuable now and i like themJan 2022 Update: I recent bought a “backup pair” this past December and just tested them today … I do like vs the 2016/2017 versions of the “110’s” the cable from the split down to the connect it seems thicker (like the “100’s use to be”) … though what I dont like is … the tuning … I still have those old 110’s and I 100% notice a clarity difference … turns out I cant return these if i wanted to (not saying I would … ) but doing an A-vs-B comparsion I totally hear a clarity difference … these new ones sound balanced, do not get me wrong, but they sound a tad muddy vs the old pair … and I totally admit i do a combo of a U or a V shaped EQ when using the Sony 100’s or 110’s … these dont sound great un-EQ’ed …. .but … this exact pair while they work sound muddier than any 100’s or 110’s I have had before … if this was my own experience with the MDRXZ 100’s or 110’s … I’d be considering other brands in the same price range————————————————–This review is based on my first impressions with the “110’s” on a number of mp3 player, and a number of “100’s” (the previous model https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WODP20/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) that I have had and used over the years.Pro – Sound QualitySo far I DO notice more bass in these new (my first pair of the “110’s”) pair of headphones and unlike prior experience with Sony (and other companies too …) earbuds where the “new great model” .. didn’t sound as good as the prior ones did …These 110’s just add enough to the bass and possibly treble too, that makes it definitely sound better then the 100’s though it doesn’t fall into the trap I described above, when sometimes they add “more bass” and it turns out the bass is so strong, that it drowns everything else out. I have to say that this is not really a knock on the 100’s .. I do still like them but for the same price on either … I’d go with the 110’s but if there is a “good deal” on the 100’s and I was getting them again … I am not against getting another pair of the 100’s either.Yes these are “cheap” headphones and probably not as good quality wise as a really expensive pair though I do recall some reviews saying they tried these along side a pair of “$200 Beats” and while the did say their friend’s Beats did sound better … they personally would rather get maybe two or three pair of these and still have say $150 left over … meaning “they do not sound price-vs-quality of the sound” .. ‘that much better’Pro/Con – Build qualityThese ARE plastic headphones of course, though I do not agree with those that say “oh its like they are from the Dollar store … the plastic is horrible ..etc etc”… just if your going to buy a much more expensive pair of headphones … your will probably get better quality tooThe one downside that … I admit I see in these, and are a problem in the pair of “the 100’s” that was 100% caused by me … AND EVEN THEN that exact pair, needed fixing but still sounds great … I am using THEM while typing this review, is the part where the 100’s and the 110’s ear-cups move. I am not sure “how it could be made better” but that was the exact point of failure for my long-used pair (again 100% my fault for HOW the break,happened) .. note that if it wasn’t for me they would still be fine and that is after 3+ years of HEAVY use and they still work … so maybe it’s fine for being able to fold (in both models I mean)Pro – FitI am not sure if i can say one way or the other “I have a big head” (100% not a small head) but they fit fine .. even out of the box. Heck after that DIY type of repair I did on my broke pair .. .I had to flip them backwards and .. they for the most part still fit great … these 110’s are no different.By the way I have glasses (regular and sunglasses used when wearing these) and just like the 100’s, these are nice and comfy … not too tight or too lose, if you ask me??? – The cordThe cord looks different from the 100’s I have and I like the cord … basically I think some of the cords on others are way way too small and that always leads to the problem of one of the two sides going out for good … The cord on the 110’s looks a tad smaller diameter wise but really if that doesn’t mean that issue I just described DOESN’T happen .. I do not really care… I just want the headphones to work for a long time … if the cord is different but there are no issues … this change is fine by me.Plug – I will keep this review updated IF there is a change but I have no had these for long enough to comment on some of the reviews who keep having issues with the plug breaking … NOT on this pair but my other pair of the 100’s get plugged into and unplugged from stuff for over three years now and often too … never had a problem .. but then again I cant comment on these. for now.SummaryI would recommend these no question … though if your expecting a super high end sound (aka are an “audiophile”) you MAY BE disappointed though as someone who loves his music … I think the sound with the right equalizer settings, on the device or program your using… I do LOVE the sound of these.Update – After using a new pair of the “100’s” … aka the prior modelReally … the 110’s do have the slightly higher bass and that is not a bad thing either …. the new pair of the 100’s I am using I actually thought were the 110’s (I just forgot what headphones I was using)… THE POINT? … they both have great bass and I think the pair that I use to wear daily (the broken pair that still works great…. just doesn’t fit perfectly anymore)’s fit actually effects the bass … that old pair I hold the earcups closer to my ears than how they “sit” now .. .and I hear alot more bass.Between the 100s and 110’s … if the way each one of them fold doesn’t matter to you for say fitting them into a caring case …. I recommend both 1000% (no typo) … find the best deal … if you can get one a little cheaper than the other …cool … there is more bass by a little bit on the 110’s but do not think I am saying a new pair of the 100’s are weak in that department.

Great value
These work well and provide superb sound quality.

I purchased the headphones for my daughter to use for school work and general listening, and theyâve been a great choice. The sound quality is good for the price. They’re also quite robust and have lasted much longer than other headphones weâve tried in a similar price range. Another plus is that they fold up nicely, making them compact for easy storage and transportation. The only downside is the limited colour optionsâI wish there is a choice besides white. Overall, excellent value and durability!
