Sony ZX Series Wired On-Ear Headphones with Mic, Black MDR-ZX110AP

So I've had some difficulty finding headphones that work for me, after my previous, fantastic pair finally broke (and is no longer available on Amazon). I have a big head (22.5" circumference) and the previous two headphones I tried just mashed my ears and gave me headaches. These don't have that issue! I wasn't sure I'd be okay with wired headphones, but I'm doing alright with them so far, and they're lightweight enough that even with glasses they don't really cause any discomfort (sometimes I have to lift the arms of my glasses a bit so the headphones settle more). The sound quality is good, including decent enough bass, and the microphone quality seems to be good as well. My sole complaint, because I just used them with my phone for the first time while I was making calls, is that for whatever reason, they made the volume slider on the phone stay open over what I was doing, and it was also at max volume. Nothing I did to any sliders or buttons changed it or made the slider go away, including after I unplugged the headphones. I had to restart my phone to make it calm down. The brief instructions mention an app that allows for track and volume control from the on-cord button thing, but I have no use for that, and to be perfectly honest if I need an app to be able to control the volume while the headphones are plugged in, then they're not really designed very well. But 9.5 out of 10 times the headphones will be used with my laptop, so it's not a real issue.

I ran across these headphones while searching for a pair of over-the-ear style, I wanted something that I could use to listen to YouTube videos 44 movies because I have A3 year old child that monopolizes the TV and I wanted the over-the-ear style to cancel out all the Disney. I'm older so I'm not trying to make a fashion statement by having a pair of $300 Dre Beats or Bose I took a chance on these because I love Sony products and the reviews, not to mention that I knew if I had any problems Amazon would let me ship them back for free with a full refund and being a Prime member just makes this even easier. Now one with the review I'm a large adult so least you're cops don't fully in case my ears like my Tony wireless headset for my PlayStation 4 does but they do cover the circumference of my ear comfortably the padding which feels like a very soft vinyl material is very comfortable they don't make my ears hot and sweaty and they do cancel outside noises as long as you have the mic on the line muted if not you'll still here outside stuff because of the inline mic which depending on how you're using them can be an advantage IE your child getting into something they shouldn't. When I first got them I plug them into my tablet fire it up a movie and I was absolutely floored with the sound quality some people say they don't go up loud enough what they do and then you know there's some programs that have sound boost and even with movies and Surround Sound with full Boost the headsets never distorted nice bass crisp treble incredible stereo like sound almost better than a movie theater you just feel like you're immersed in the movie. I've used them for phone calls and they're absolutely amazing and I've asked the other person hey can you tell I'm using a headset to talk to you and they can't tell and they can't hear my TV in the background. I plugged them into my PS4 controller and use them to game and the sound is just as good and people I chat with say that the that is perfectly clear no humming no popping no dropping and can't hear other people in the room talking. Easy to adjust they're comfortable on my large head and they fold up small for travel and I think mine came with a little bag to slide them into. In my opinion this headshot is not a one-trick pony they work great plugged into your phone to listen to music they're great plugged into a laptop or a tablet to watch movies on YouTube and I was surprised how well they work on my PlayStation 4 they just do it all and do it all well. They feel light and flimsy but they haven't broke and my three-year-old has gotten ahold of him a couple times and stretch them out and he didn't break them either which was shocking they don't have that creaky cheap plastic sound that I've seen an older model sony PlayStation headsets that costed $100+. It's only like that I would have had these in stock I would have bought them from there had them match Amazon's price and then paid the couple bucks for the 2-year Geek Squad just in case my kids would have gotten ahold of him and broke up but I got them off Amazon for only $17 they came in less than 2 days and we're going on 2 years now and they still work like brand new and my kids never broke them. I haven't loved a pair of headphones like these since I was a teenager and I used to have a Sony Walkman back in the day. Bottom line if you're looking for a nice set of over-the-ear headphones that can do everything you need them to do for under $20 these are the ones for you. I've used my friends headphones that cost over $100 and they're not any better than these. one of my friends was so impressed by these headphones that he bought them just to use with his PlayStation 4 and saved over $100 by doing this and he games every night.

Straight away, I was let down that these did not produce the kind of rich bass sound I was expecting (hoping for) from what seem to be a quality set of lightweight over-ear headphones. The first thing I did was match their performance against an old pair of JVC "Flats" that I'm keeping around for "heavy duty" careless & carefree activity listening, and initially it seemed as though the JVCs were delivering deeper bass than these Sony; but over the course of a couple of days, and testing them against each other across a range of various audio media, the reality is a lot less straightforward -- depending on the source audio, and what you're expecting or are more receptive to at the time, I've found that there are times when the JVC can produce crisper sound but at the cost of some raw booming bass, and other times the Sony will deliver a more consistent robust sound with a decent amount of bass but with the trade-off of some of the more subtle "hi-range" sounds almost getting drowned out in the crowded room. In general, the Sony set tends to deliver richer and more consistent sounds in the "mid-ranges," whereas the bass, and sometimes some portions of the higher scale, can be either hit or miss... again, depending on what you're listening "TO" and what you're listening "FOR." Despite some of its limitations or lack of meeting certain expectations coming straight "out-of-the-box," they can really kick up their perform quite a few notches with a bit of personalized tweaking in the equalizer settings (if you happen to be listening in an environment where you have access to such sound manipulation)! As for comfort, I was initially put-off by the on-ear feel, worried that I'd have to endure progressive torture in a constant attempt to cancel-out their foreign object pressure they seemed to be exerting against my lobes... but remarkably I'd found myself acclimating to them very rapidly, although I'm still occasionally put off by the fact that the individual earpieces are static and do not provide any "free-range" swiveling motion to help accommodate head shape and ear positioning -- but again, once adapted to, these concerns become less of an issue. I like the pseudo "fold-up" feature in its design, but this could pose some real potential problems if you happen to be less inclined to handle things gently and with patience... otherwise, it's a decent function to provide a bit in the way of space saving. *IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you're aware of and understand that this particular set (MDR-ZX110AP) are of the "3-banded" TRRS variety (as it incorporates a built-in mic): these will still work with a standard 2-band TRS port, with a teeny-tiny bit of tweaked repositioning, otherwise, if you try to use them in a regular TRS receptacle and insert the plug in fully, you may erroneously come to the belief that the head set is defective, so do keep this in mind, or opt instead for the Plain Jane model with no attached microphone (MDR-ZX110NC). Overall... a very decent head set for the fairly reasonable price. So glad I got 'em.

I love these headphones! I cant use earbuds or any in ear type things and this set is great..its very soft and comfortable and they work great! have held up very well and I am actually wearing them right now..I love them and they are the first pair ive had that both ears still work after a while..usually one ear will go out and its annoying but these are terrific.. good quality sound. Very pleased

These are light and compact headphones that meet all of my listening needs. They are a bit tight-fitting and don’t completely cover my ears. The sound quality is louder and high-pitched. I previously used the discontinued Sony Noise Canceling MDR-NC7 headphones which worked very well for many years. Then last week I had worn them while resting on my couch, and I inadvertently put pressure on the side of the headphones with the weight of my head twisted against the pillow. Although not a lot of pressure, it was enough to cause a small piece of plastic less than half a centimeter at the joint of the left ear to break off. I tried was unable to repair the joint with glue and resorted to wrapping tape around it as a stopgap. The MDR-ZX110AP version is designed in a much simpler manner than my older model from Sony, mainly having one piece stretching from ear to ear. The previous design was head two rotating joints on each side attached by a curved bridge-piece. I find that the one-piece curved design applies too much pressure to the point of being uncomfortable, but this model seems to have some give to it, and I expect I’ll get used to the difference. I wasn’t sure if I needed the mic for $10 extra but decided audio quality is critical to video calls and other recordings I might want to do more of in the future. The ear cushioning is also more of a professional-grade quality compared to the foam material in the previous version, but I found the foam more comfortable although it may have resulted in some of the audio leaking out to the surrounding environment. The inward fold-up when not using them is convenient mainly because it’s quick to unfold and apply back on my ears. The old version would take longer to reorient when unfolding because the each earcup was free to rotate on an axel, and you had to make sure it was oriented so that the bottom of the cup with the wired connection wasn’t spun to the top. This isn’t a big deal but added a couple of seconds every time you wanted to put them on before. The sound quality suits my needs although I do feel it’s a bit screechy in the limited time I’ve tested it. I also don’t detect any noise cancellation. I believe the previous version automatically reduced the audio as part of the noise cancellation, so it makes sense that this is louder. This isn’t a major issue for me because I only use these on my computer, so the surroundings aren’t overly bothersome. These are also much lighter than previous generations of the product. It’s actually something I’ll have to get used to, but I suppose it will be something I take for granted and hard to go back to a heavier one once I do.

pretty nice, durable, good price.

Comfort

Le son est de très bonne qualité. Le kit main libre fonctionne parfaitement. Le casque est léger mais pas .

هيا جميله بس انا كنت فاكرها اكبر و كنت فاكر ان ودني هتخش جوا مخدات السماعه بس طلعت اصغر صوتها واطي شويه علي ال pc بس تمام يعني مسموعه

Svolge il suo compito (videolezioni al PC per i figli) senza problemi (ho dovuto prendere a parte uno sdoppiatore di segnale audio in e out per poterla usare con le prese mic e cuffie del mio PC). Per ora nonostante l'indelicatezza dei bambini non si è rotto nulla.

Siempre los pido son baratos y de buena calidad

I was in the market for a new pair of headphones to wear while watching videos on my phone at night. My previous earphones hurt my ears after a short while because of their hard plastic construction. I decided to try Sony’s MDR-ZX110AP Overhead Headphones, trusting their reputation for quality electronics. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. These headphones have a wonderfully innovative design and a clean white theme that gives them a more expensive look. The swivel folding design allows for quick and easy storage, ideal for commuting or travelling. They even come with a storage pouch to keep them dust-free. The headphones are lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear. The cushioned earpads are very soft, and the faux leather covers feel cool on the ears, unlike fabric covers that make your ears warm and sweaty after prolonged use. Some of the more expensive headsets I’ve tried before were heavy and uncomfortable to wear. The headphone cable ends in an 'L' shape, which prevents the bending and strain that often comes with straight cable ends. This design also reduces stress on the port. The sound quality is excellent and well-balanced, surpassing other headphones I’ve tried in this price range. The bass is good too, making these perfect for listening to heavy metal. The inline microphone is a wonderful addition, making long conversations much more comfortable compared to the hard earphones I previously used. The microphone quality is very clear and significantly improves the quality of calls. When I bought these headphones, they were £21, which is incredible value for money, especially for a brand like Sony. I’m very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend these headphones. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope that you found it helpful and that it assists you in your decision-making. I try to be as honest and fair as possible, as those have always been the reviews that helped me the most.
