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.

After using the MDR-100AAP (h.ear on) for a couple of weeks, these headphones have become a great addition to my morning ritual. I tend to avoid bulky headphones in lieu of more portable in-ear headphones. However the Sony MDR-100AAP are so comfortable that I typically forget that I have them on. This is mainly attributed to the fact that the earpiece are both adjustable and rotatable. For home use, I find the headset more comfortable than the Sony Gold Wireless Headset particularly for prolong gaming sessions on the PS4. Secondly it is clear from the quality of the headset that Sony has really stepped up the game. The head has a smooth metallic finish, which I feel is appropriate to the price unlike the plastic casing of other (more expensive) branded alternatives out there. My own issue with the yellow headset is that it stands out a little too much. I feel that the blue one has a more subtle outlook, however each to their own. As for the sound, the headset isn't overpowering which might take some getting used to. I feel like the sound isn't powerful enough for public transport (or this may be due to the noise isolation) and I regularly find myself having to turn the volume up. Finally with the design, the headset folds up to become quite compact and comes with a matching pouch for storage. I'd personally prefer if the included cable was not a "L" shape connector, however this is easily fixed with a replacement cable. Overall I'm quite happy with these headsets and would not hesitate to recommend.
