Summary: Not so bad
Review: Firstly, let me dispell the myth about how these affect the shape of your ear. They clip over your ears and mine are quite large and clip underneath the lobe. To work properly they need to attach firmly under the lobe and cause it to push forward very slightly. The headphone then covers the ear and so it cant be seen anyway.

Seconly, they sound ok. Clear but not too loud. ...

Summary: Good but not very loud
Review: I decided to buy these headphones when my old pair busted. When I first put them on they were very uncomfertable, but eventually they conform to your ear and become surprisingly sturdy and comfertable. The sound on these headphones is superb the bass is extremely good compared to any headphones and especially for their size, however they do not get very loud but most of the time this is not a problem.
So all in all a great system for the price and size but not very loud.
-Reccomend highly

Summary: Value for money (well, almost)
Review: I got these a few weeks ago after months of hunting around for the perfect pair. I thought the price was a little to steep at first but after testing it I thought this might just be worth it. I chose these because I've always found earphones annoying as they keep popping out of my ear. The sound quality is superb for this type of headphones. It's also light and the clip does not hurt my ear after long periods. The problem with them is that it takes a bit longer to put it on because you have to make sure the clip is securely fasten behind your ear or it will come off. The caps are a bit loose and come off when I keep them in the front pocket of my backpack. However, I find these problems a small price to pay for the excellent sound quality.

Summary: these don't work on small ears
Review: I have small ears and although these headphones look small, they hung off my ears and bent the tops of my ears down. There's no way they would have stayed on while running. I returned them immediately.

Summary: A satisfied user
Review: If you're into to music with heavy bass content and delight in driving vehicles with massive subwoofers, these are not the headphones for you. Then again the devices you normally use these in don't output alot of bass to begin with. So go get the can-style headphones.

For everyone else; hey, these are great. They do the job we need perfectly. Want to disguise the fact your using an iPod or need to hear the outside environment while listening to your tunes/fifth race at Haymarket, get these.
I got mine when my Nth set of Q33s bit the dust and have only noticed a slight drop in distant radio reception on my discman.

Summary: A decent product
Review: It's nothing to write home to mom about, but they're a good pair of headphones w/ no thing hanging on top of your head or behind your head (streetstyle) & you can let someone else wear them w/ no worries.

Summary: Eh...I expected more
Review: Looking for headphones to go with my iPod, since the earbuds that came with it hurt if I wear them for long periods of time...

Not impressed with these headphones. "Rich bass" my ear -- the cheap headphones that came with my last portable cd player have better-sounding bass. These Sony headphones are tinny sounding, and I need to crank the volume to hear anything through them (or press the 'phones to my ear -- the spring clip doesn't have enough tension to put them in that place for me).

On the plus side, I suppose, they are comfortable to wear - I don't find that they "deform" my ear in any way, and they don't hurt. They'll suffice for running, but I'll be sticking with the Apple earbuds for other uses (plane trips, at work, etc.)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Don't even bother
Review: Most people who'd be looking at these headphones are probably looking for something that's stylish enough to wear in public. If that's true for you, don't bother with these. The way these clip on bend the top of your ear downwards; and believe the other reviews when they say they make their ears look foolish. Furthermore, after wearing these for only a few minutes, the tops of my ears turned red. On the plus side, they seem to stay on alright, even though they tend to feel as if they're about to fall off any second. The sound quality is also really decent for headphones this size. But if you're more concerned about quality than comfort and looks, I'd still suggest you look elsewhere.
