ROFL! All Sony products are shit. They're far worse than almost every brand out there. I've noticed that every time a CD explodes in my CD-ROM, the CD-ROM's a Sony. Whenever ANY computer part I have breaks down or when a part of some device chips off, it's a Sony. Surprisingly, all those mass produced stuff from China lasts at least twice as long as an equivalent Sony product. Sony's rich not from quality, but because they were there first, and 'there' in most forms of hardware. It's nothing personal, but Sony is crap.
It's strange that I seem to be the only one who's realized this. Everyone actually thinks that it's a reliable brand. If you want reliable speakers, go for Somic. It's a mass-produced Chinese product, but the electronics are good. I got some very, very nice sounding & hardy headphones for about US$5.
