Sony MDR-ZX310 On-Ear Overhead Wired Headphones, Swivel Fold, 3.5mm Headphone Jack - Metallic Red

I bought these 3 years ago and they are still going strong, I am about to buy another pair in a different colour, just so I have a back up pair. They don't have noise cancelling but that is why I like them. They fit well, are comfortable and the quality of sound (I use them on PC) is excellent and on par with other headphones I have had over the years. I use the ones without the microphone so cannot comment on the quality of that. I have used them on my tablet when I went into hospital, and again the sound quality is very good, they are good for music, listening to YouTube videos and films. Very happy with these Sony MDR-ZX310 headphones.

I thank the reviewers that highlighted the weak 3.5mm jack, some sockets require quite a bit of force to engage so I knew to be careful. Sound quality isn't bad at all, not muffled, the whole range is decent. If you have an equaliser they're capable of good sound - even without I'm satisfied with the quality. I read a review that the packaging was hard to open. It isn't, either Sony fixed it or maybe the review was for a different product. I got them on sale and am very happy. Just to add, the cable is the bare minimum length, 1.2m, I bought an Amazon Basics extension to use them with my computer. Altogether £20. Very pleased.

I bought these for a bargain at under £12, although if I'd have paid £20+ I would have been a little disappointed with the frequency response, mainly in the high mids and highs. I must admit, I'm accustomed to listening to music with expensive headphones, but needed a cheaper pair of foldable headphones (mainly for travel) to replace a pair of broken JVC Flats. For that purpose, they are a great buy, especially if you can get them under or around the £15 mark, but if you're looking for clarity in music you'd be better looking elsewhere and increasing your budget a bit. Out of the pack, the low end response makes for plenty of bass for a 30mm driver unit, but that's at the expense of high mids and high frequencies. Notes that should cut through in mixes can get lost in the muddiness of the overall sound experience. Compared to the JVC Flats, the mid/high clarity is disappointing, although the bass response is far superior to the JVC's, so it depends on what you prefer and what you're willing to sacrifice frequency-wise. That said, the headphones are comfortable and fold up easily. The build quality is decent and the wire is short enough and easy to fold, with none of those annoying twists you can get with other headphones. Visually, the Sony MDRZX310's look great with the offset Sony logo on each side, and Left/Right markings are easy enough to spot in low light. I'd definitely say buy these, as long as you're not looking for audio gold, you won't be disappointed.

Very good sound as you would expect from Sony (particularly good bass). Using it for listening to music, You-Tube, and audio-books on my phone and sound is crystal clear. The headphones do not drown out outside sounds if the volume is low-to-medium, but that's only if the outside sound is fairly loud/fairly close-by, and I guess that would happen with most headphones around this price-range. I have an Android phone with no earphone jack, so I also bought a 'Headphone Earphone Adaptor USB Type C to 3.5mm Jack' from Amazon from 'La Brodee Store' for £4.99. The headphone length of wire is about 1.14m (45 inches) from end tip of jack to the earphones, so ok for using with a phone or a Sony Walkman (remember those !), or a laptop/pc monitor, but probably not long enough for watching TV/gaming (you would need some kind of extended). I bought the blue colour headphones which look very smart. The head-band and ear-muffs are comfortable and has a good range of adjustment. Look carefully at the back of each head-set and you will see 'L' and 'R' marked to denote which ear-muff is for left and which is for right. The folding mechanism is good although as long as you treat with care and have good light. Volume is controlled from whichever device you are using and not the headphones themselves, and the headphones do not have a micro-phone. All-in-all really good value smart headphones with very good sound.

Be warned these easy to set up, standard sized air drums are highly addictive! A normal drum stick weight with only one button to push for one and off. I been playing with these since they were delivered, had annual leave from work and just played with these all day alone and absolutely love them. Very easy to connect as they’re actually do it themselves when switched on. A great sound and easy to follow table of setup in the air. If you get some, enjoy them!

For £12 these are exceptional value for money. Headphone from Sony at this price. Unbelievable. I just walked the dog over woodland and fields, even though it was very windy I didn’t hear it. I have always been an over ear headphone person, but wanted something I can plug into my phone and listen to a podcast or sports whilst walking the dog. These are more than I would have dreamt for. They are lightweight, a more than exceptional sound for something so cheap. As long as you don’t expect a £500 of headphone then these are going to please 90%+ of people for chilling or workouts. Cable is of good quality, pads are soft, headphones clamp nicely to the head and so light I didn’t notice they were on me. The blue colour looks beautiful. Connectivity is straight forward. Plug the 3.5 jack in, or if you device doesn’t have that (like my google phone) a cheap jack to usb c adapter works wonderfully. I have some half decent studio headphones, Bluetooth headphones, and in ear headphones. These are not cheap. So well done Sony in making a cheap pair that feel good and sound good. The folding mechanism means I can store them in a old headphone case I have and keep them in the boot for my walks.

Arrived on time wife loves them good quality and fit the head comfortably

I love these headphones for travelling. They're lightweight, comfortable for long train journeys and have a surprisingly good sound for bargained price headphones. And they fold! So why a point off? Well, I've been using these for a long time, and in order for the price to be kept low, they've been removing features. When I first bought them, they had a volume control on the cable. Then that went, to be replaced by a pause button on the cable. Then that went, to be replaced by nothing. Considering the quality I'd be happy paying £20 to get my volume control back. But they're still first choice for those long hours in noisy carriages.

Great sound. Great sale price. Perfect for my next road trip.

Använder dem under resa. Ok ljud till en liten reseradio.

Dom är jätte bra till jobbet när jag har rast och lätt att ta med jag älskar musik och titta på film ljudet är bra och väldigt sköna rekommenderar om man vill ha det billigaste men ändå bra ljud och så är det snygg färg min favorit är blå
