Sony – ZX Series Wired On-Ear Headphones – Black

Family friendly. Can use for ages 10 and up. Im and adult and I don’t need to pull the adjustment out. Kids use them in my car so I don’t have to hear their video games on their Amazon fore tablet. This is my second purchase I bought white ones a year ago for the laptops and since they held up I got these for the car.

So if your a music lover like me you want to listen to your music with good clear sound from your headphones. I’ve probably gone through 25 different kinds of headphones in the last couple of years and i have to say that these sony over the ear headphones have been the best ones I’ve used for only 19.99 so if your looking for good headphones and don’t want to spend a fortune these are the ones to get.

I was looking for a pair of no-nonsense, easy to use headphones that would work with everything without having to install drivers or pair them with anything. I found them with this pair.
These Sony ZX headphones have excellent sound in all but the highest volume settings. When I turn the sound on my computer’s Soundblaster Audigy sound card all the way up and turn the sound all the way up on my program that I’m using (such as Youtube for example), the bass gets to sounding just a little bit ‘muddy’ or distorted. But, if I back the sound card’s volume control just a little (like back down to 90 from a maximum of 100), then they sound fantastic. I tested them out by listening to classical music like Mozart, Chopin and Williams (John Williams’ movie themes) and they reproduced everything as well or better than my computer’s Soundblaster brand speakers and just as well as my CD player’s speakers. I also tested them out by wearing them while playing video games that use my sound card’s ability to create a 3D surround sound effect such as Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas. These headphones sounded very good with those games and the surround sound worked quite well with them thanks to the way that the ear pads conform to the shape of your ears a bit, blocking out most background noise so that you really get the full effect of the surround sound. That’s not bad performance from a budget pair of headphones.
They are lightweight, but don’t feel fragile. I like that you can fold them up quite a bit so that they’ll easily fit in a backpack or portable game system carry case like the one I have for my New 3DS XL that has several pouches inside of it. Not quite as small as my earbuds, but will still fit if I don’t take all of my game cards.
The only thing I really don’t like about them and that keeps them from earning five stars, is that the headband isn’t padded. I thought it wouldn’t matter since they aren’t heavy, but after extended use (like watching a two hour movie for example), the headband gets to be rather uncomfortable. So, I wrapped a piece of felt around the headband and taped it in place with Gorrilla Tape (like Duct Tape only better). That has solved the problem.
I recommend these headphones for when you want a pair of simple headphones that won’t be too big of a shame to lose, get broken or stolen since they didn’t cost a fortune, but yet still sound decent. They aren’t Bose level of quality, but they aren’t Bose priced either.

Purchased this item to connect to my Vox AP2-CR amp for electric guitar so I can play it at night when I can’t sleep sounds great
