Poor Sound Quality & Extremely low volume (Rating: 2 out of 5) Maybe we got a dud...but I bought some of these headphones at Target before a road trip & the sound quality is extremely poor. Our 5 y.o. finally just wanted them unplugged since the ambient road noise was drowning out the sound from the show she was watching. I suspect the volume regulation is set low in an abundance of caution against ear damage, but Sony went too low in this case.
