Summary: Excellent sport headphones!
Review: After trying several brands and designs, these headphones are the ones I'm sold on. They're comfortable, sound great, and have a cord that's about 6-12" longer than what you usually get. They're so comfortable you can wear them for hours and not feel them. They fold up so they work great for travelling. The only thing preventing them from getting a 5 rating is the foam rubber covering on the ear pieces. I just know that after sweating on these things during workouts those will disintegrate after not too long. Oh well.

Summary: Above avg value, above avg discomfort
Review: For the money, these are good "active" headphones with better sound than can typically be achieved by the small-driver, in-ear headphone alternatives. The behind-the-neck design is useful on runs where you have to wear a hat to protect against the sun or if you just want to keep your hair neat. I have found that 40 minutes is really the most I can stand to wear these before they start causing gradually more intense pain around the ears. The foam pads don't last long and the cord is, actually too long for some work-out applications since you must wind it round and round to keep from catching it while running and yanking the phones off.

Summary: After 4 years of heavy use, these puppies are top-notch!
Review: I don't know what "uncomfortable and no bass" was talking about...must've either been using another model or the sound source was crappy to begin with, but I have been using these for 4 years and they are fantastic. I've used them mainly for my portable Sharp MiniDisc player and my new portable Sony CD player, and they have an incredibly impressive dynamic range. From crisp highs to atmospheric mids and down to some DEEP BASS, these are awesome. Seriously, I barely ever use the "mega bass" function on my CD player because the bass response is almost too strong. Trust me, that other reviewer has absolutely no idea what he/she is talking about. Maybe they got a defective unit, but I am VERY picky about sound, and these are superb earphones.

Summary: Great Headphones while I wait for the Bose
Review: I was quite surprised with the quality of the sound from these headphones. Having bought Bose AM-7 speakers real cheap for my audio set-up at home, I have kinda gotten used to listening to audio of the highest quality. These are easily the best in their class. I don't own many other headphones, my friends have all different brands. I found these to fit the bill perfectly for me, while I wait to earn enough to justify buying the Bose noise cancellation headphones.Hope this helps.

Summary: Uncomfortabe and no bass
Review: I've had a pair of these Sony headphones for several years, and to put it bluntly...they suck! I do NOT recommend purchasing them because a.) the sound is lacking in quality, especially the bass reproduction, b.) with the exception of 'ear buds' I've tried, these are the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever worn. I would give these phones two, maybe three stars max, but I feel my review should offset the other reviews. The bottom line is: Save your money, and go with bettter headphones.

Summary: Great Headphones
Review: My simple testimony to these great headphones is that I've gone and replaced my last 2 yr old pair with a new pair of exactly the same model. My last pair of G72LP's virtually disintegrated after 6 months of backpacking the world. Lesson learned from that is that they're not the most durable headphone out there, but the sound is great. I'm fussy about music quality and these are up to par. Unfortunately the price of new set in New Zealand was very high, but I needed my tunes!! As pointed out by other reviewers, the bass is perfect - an aspect where cheaper 'in-you-ear' sets are disappointing.

Summary: excellent headphones overall
Review: Pros- ~definetly the bass. if you want bass in your music, you will hear it with these.
~they are very comfortable. they sit very nicely, and snugly on your ears. i had the older street style, the MDR-G57G's, which i found to be a lot of room in the back between my head and the earphones, but this is definetly an improvement. the only reason i say this is because when you lean back on a car seat, or in a plane, they push forward, away from your ears, but in these it really isnt a problem. like the G57's, you can take off the rubber sport bands that help the headphones stay in place while running, and this just makes them all the more unnoticeable to you. they are very light for being larger than the G57's.
~the volume. at 106 Db, they are slightly lounder than the standard of 102. definetly a plus if you are on a train or in the subway, where a lot of noise is generated. even a plane. Cons- ~the bass. when turned up too loud, the headphones are so well made that the bass stays with the volume, and can drown out the song. on my cd player i have 2 levels of bass, and i used to have it on level 2 all the time, but when i want some loud music, i need to turn it to level one. but this is the onlyt fault, and its not even that big. if the bass was tweaked down a little bit, i would be more than happy to give these 5 stars.
