Now granted, I didn't expect perfection.They're headphones.But it's SONY for crying out loud, you'd think you could expect at least decent sound...Well, to be clear, the sound is *fine*... if you cram these as far as possible into your ears and turn the sound waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up.Bought these for my iPod, and they're not going to work, but working just fine for listening to the radio at work without the earbud popping out every 2 minutes, thus the 2 stars.Keep looking if you're looking for good music headphones though!
