About taste can be known to argue, just also "Sound". The Sony headset has a neat sound, maybe not top-audiophile, but so much better than some supplied ear-bud - eg the white Apple parts. The bass also has neat rum. Only the volume control is a bit fiddly. But that part has further decisive advantages: The Radio of sufficient reception, for all those who want to stream their favorite FM stations, so want to take the direct route and not "from behind through the chest into the eye." In addition, you can connect your favorite headphones - even the good "big" of the stereo. And by the way ... for me a surprising and fascinating feature. The Stereoanlgae lets you connect to the Bluetooth receiver. About 3.5 jack to RCA cable. So you can your smartphone or MP3 player wirelessly connect via Bluetooth with the home stereo. Therefore: Absolute recommendation !!!
