The sound is mediocre. The high frequencies are very heavily overwhelmed, it is useless to correct the equalizer, this leads to even greater distortion, porridge and sibilance. Mids and vocals with some kind of plastic tint, smothered and not accentuated. The protruding bass does not brighten up the situation, it adds mumbling. It is not clear where so many rave reviews come from (I noticed that the reviews are like a carbon copy word for word from other Sony headphone models from the same category). If we compare after noname plugs within 300r, then yes, the sound wins, although it does not work out half the price tag.
