Amazon.com Product Description:
These super-light, ear-bud headphones weigh a mere six grams (.18 ounces.) They are the perfect headphone for those who relish lightweight, quality headphones. The silent cap confines the music to the listener's ear and away from those in the immediate area, a plus for those using the headphones in the coffee shop or library. The earphones are also open-air, meaning they allow ambient noises to enter the ear; this translates to a safer headphones, as the listener will be aware of horns, whistles and shouts.

The MDR-E828LP's deliver a quality sound, even with their small size. The headphones use sixteen millimeter drive units for a deep bass and clear treble. Sony also uses neodymium magnets which provide more energy per ounce than other conventional magnets. The PET diaphragm gives the headphones a high rigidity for minimum distortion. Finally, Sony's Acoustic Twin Turbo circuit achieves high sonic output by utilizing sound chamber and duct technology. The oxygen-free litz cord transfers sound efficiently. The cord is one meter long (3.3 feet) for ample range of movement. The housing is a modern, hi-tech, black and silver metallic finish.

Rating: - Prefect for moble PSP activities.
I got these for my PSP 3000 and they work great.

Pros: Case to wined, store and travel with. Good sound and well made.

Cons: Case is a little flimsy.

These are worth every penny.
Rating: - Great Sony earbuds
This is my second pair of Fontopia Earbuds with the winding case.My first pair is 3 years old, and going strong.The price on Amazon was fabulous, and they arrived ahead of schedule.

I decided to keep a permanent pair at home, and have a second pair for my briefcase when I'm out and about.The hard plastic case took some getting use to, but now I wouldn't have earphones stored any other way.The winding case is great, and protect the earbuds perfectly.The sound from the Sony Fontopia ...

Rating: - Not even worth 50 cents
These headphones probably aren't even worth 50 cents.As they are uncomfortable and really hard to hear.The sad thing is that I switch the ear that they are supposed to be in they actually are more comfortable.The issue with that is that you can't hear the sound as well.Granted you can't hear the sound well in the first place if they are put in the correct ear.I have to set my volume to max on my MP3 player AND max on the cord just to hear anything.With my favorite low end headphones (Koss KEP20) ...

Rating: - Great sound
I'm very pleased with these earbuds. The sound is great and the price was very reasonable. I've spent more and not gotten sound this good. I did think that the case would automatically retract the cord, and it does not; however, a manual winding case is better than just mooshing the earbuds into my purse or even a different kind of case. Bottom line: definitely worth buying.
Rating: - Happy with it
There light, cheep, and have a better sound then the iBuds that came with my iPod.

The drawbacks are that they're slightly larger in the ear then the iBuds and the wire is rather short.

Some people have griped about an issue of getting a shock from them. I used the pads they came with and have no issues with them at all. But the pads make them slightly larger in the ear.
