returned it 
I'm always a big fan of sony headphones as I think balancing between price, sound quality and design they seem to fit my active lifestyle the best. I expected these headphones to be just over the ears type which I like better than in-ear type that usually hurts my ears after wearing for a while. However, this one turns out to have in-ear tips that you have to insert into your ear and they're too big for my ears (why do u have to add if you already decide to go for over-the-ear??). After the first hour of wearing, my ears hurt a lot.
Another thing was that I thought the behind-the-neck band is a flexible plastic that I can roll it up just like the one I used to have, but it's actually a solid plastic. This makes it a pretty ackward size esp. if you want to put it in your backpack. I also think it's pretty heavy compared to other sony headphones the same size. I don't think the sound quality is that great either (I also have MDR-G57G which is cheaper and sounds better, although not as sleaky design as this one)
Great Sound 
This headphones have superd sound. The absolute only reason I did not give them a 5-Star rating is because after about an hour of use, I tend to get a little bit of a headache due to how tight they seem to fit. Now I am a big guy at well over 6 feet ( I guess I have a big head), which could very well be reason for the tighter than normal fit. I do enjoy the sound and I am happy with my purchase. Because the band fits around the base of your neck in the back, you can exercise, run or perform any type of activity without them wanting to fall off. And you can't beat the sound quality including the deep bass you hear. They sound just as good as any of the much higher priced units I tried before choosing these to buy.
