Purchased these headphones as my first set. Love the colour, the quality of sound and that they don't interefere with my wearing of glasses.

The Sony MDR-100AAP are a really interesting set of headphones - they're one of the first to boast the HighRes audio tag that Sony introduced quite recently to quite a skeptical world. What exactly "is" high-res audio? We can understand "high-res" in terms of pictures, but what does it mean for sound? Well, let me tell you - it's actually quite exciting. I was a bit skeptical, but when I put on these headphones and played some music from a Sony HighRes walkman I was pretty sold. The bass is so deep, the tones varied - it's something you really need to try for yourself. Don't just read reviews. As for the product itself, it's good - but the quality of the product has a little to be desired. It's not quite as sturdy as you'd hope, and doesn't have that hugely premium feel you expect out of a product like this. The pause button the headphone is a bit weak - but the headphones are very, very comfortable. All in all, it's a good product that delivers in what you want most out of a headphone - it sounds good and feels good on the head. But it's missing that little extra level of shine and polish that you would expect.

I often complain that headphones are too heavy or uncomfortable after an extended period of use but the same can't be said for these. In fact, they're super comfortable and I found wearing them was a fantastic experience. Music sounds rich with the right amount of treble and bass. If you're looking for headphones with heavy bass, these are not for you. The bass in these is very strong yet not overpowering. If you have lossless audio files, these headphones will certainly play them beautifully without fail. Am very impressed. The colours are bold, stylish and certainly a fashion statement but if you don't want to seem so "out there", the black ones are just as nice. Overall, I'd definitely recommend these headphones to anyone who wants to listen to good music with exceptional quality.
