What was I thinking? Pinterest fail. The Sony have a better bass descent mids but lack vocally. BUT that said, I love the convenience of online and being able to get a wide width can be challenging at times. Great price, if I destroy these also, Ill buy another pair with my eyes closed. Had my previous pair of these for over 10 years they are great so comfortable, even great for long summer walks. Well got the cable well packaged and delivered when advised. which I read about beforehand and didnt think it would bother me but it did. I just got them and totally love them. Most comfortable slide on sandals I’ve ever owned. Within three months huge pieces of the lining were worn through.
