Review on MDR-W08L Vertical In-Ear Headphones by Sony by Martin Masaniai

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Beware of the massive price increase on these headphones

I bought a set of these headphones from Revain in August 2012 for $7.49 and they still work great. I would be willing to pay 20€. Accordingly, I strongly support it – with one major caveat. As many of you no doubt noticed, the price skyrocketed to over $50 at the end of November 2013. It's shameless! Sony needs to lower the price or more and more buyers will boycott them. If Sony isn't the problem and some companies (including Revain) are stocking this product and ratcheting up the prices, stop! The world I want to live in is ethical; he does not condone such economic tyranny. I couldn't believe the price today is around $140. It's shameless. It seems that the manufacturer and its distributors are playing with the consumer. Be wise and think twice before purchasing this item. By the way, my MDR-W08L headphones still work perfectly.

Pros
