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.

Really impressed with the new 'hear.on' hi res lineup - the MDR-100AP has the traits of the bigger brothers from MDR-R series and the headphones have the signature neutral/flat soundstage with great clarity. Only quibble with these is that its perhaps too flat for some tastes and lacks the warmth from the low end. Tried these with the new hi-res walkman and it sounded absolutely fantastic. The headphones are significantly lighter than most over ear headphones which means that its comfortable over wearing a long period of time - really impressed. Overall a great choice for those wanting something more, not to mention the flat cable stops the cord from tangling as much (thank you Sony!)
