Rating: - very very nice
These headphones totally rock, they stay on ure head, they have awesome sound (the best sound i have ever gotten using anything, headphones or speakers). There is only one downside, and that is the rubber things made to hold the headphones on. those dig into your ears after too long. Besides that, the headphones really work great, and i can fold them up and carry them in my sweatshirt pocket or leave them around my neck whenever not using them. very sweet.

Rating: - Kick Ass Sound !
These headphones are phenomenal for the price. As other people have already mentioned, the bass response from these is superb. But unlike many bass heavy headphones, these also sound good for the mids and high notes. There is some distortion if you turn up the volume too high, but this is really a moot point since at that high of a volume you wind up with ringing ears anyway : )

The slightly longer cord is a nice touch. It allows freedom of movement without being so long that it entangles you.

The only downside to these headphones is the comfort level... The soft rubber parts that fit over the tops of the ears have a thin joining line that digs ever so slightly behind the ears. This is really just a minor annoyance, and isn't too noticable unless you wear these for an extended period of time. But that is why I didn't give these headphones 5 stars.

PROS: Nice bass response
Good overall sound
Good value for the money
Behind-the-neck design
Folds up

CONS: Can become uncomfortable after a while

Wow. What more can I say? These headphones are definitely a 'must buy' for anyone with a portable audio system wanting a GREAT deal.

Lets begin. The headphones come in a nice package, excellent presentation. The cord length is very generous, works well for nearly all situations. I have yet to run out of slack running around with my Muvo NX clipped to my belt.

The headphones can collapse into a small footprint, maybe a tiny bit bigger than a tennis ball. Very portable, will fit in my cargo pants pocket when folded up. When folded, they stay that way and don't tend to unfold on their own. Vice-versa for when they are unfolded.

Now for the real stuff. The sound quality is EXCELLENT for headphones of this price. The bass response is better than my full ear-cover headphones I use at my computer, and the highs are clear and crisp. Midrange doesn't sound airy or washed out, everything sounds just wonderful. If you enjoy bass in your music, these headphones are for you. A little bit of tweaking on my Muvo and these were definitely one of the best headphones I've ever owned.

To top all this off, they are very comfortable to wear. The soft rubber clips fit snugly, so you can run around in these without issue. Leaning back is a slight issue, you just have to be careful about leaning on the neckband, or else they'll shoot forward. This is a common problem with all behind the neck headphones though, so nothing to worry about.

The earpads are very comfortable, and very soft and pliable. My only concern is the durability of these earpads. They seem like they would just rip on accident sometime soon, or just absorb sweat and disintegrate. Hopefully Sony sells cheap replacements, as I am gonna keep these headphones around for a long time to come.

Summary:

PROS:
-Compact design when folded
-Comfortable
-Excellent sound quality in all ranges
-Tremendous bass output
-Generous length of cord.
-Fits snugly so will not fall off
-Excellent price

CONS:

-Earpads, while very comfortable, seem a bit flimsy
-Leaning back on your neck can push the headphones forward.
-No clip or easy way to wrap up cord when not in use.

Other than those three items, I have absolutely no complaint about these. Definitely money well-spent.

Rating: - Excellent sport headphones!
After trying several brands and designs, these headphones are the ones I'm sold on. They're comfortable, sound great, and have a cord that's about 6-12" longer than what you usually get. They're so comfortable you can wear them for hours and not feel them. They fold up so they work great for travelling. The only thing preventing them from getting a 5 rating is the foam rubber covering on the ear pieces. I just know that after sweating on these things during workouts those will disintegrate after not too long. Oh well.
