Rating: Summary: Not reliable Review: The first ones I owned, the flimsy cord broke. The second ones I bought lasted awhile, but then they broke in half. The third ones I owned they had bad no sound on the left side. The were comfortable, and I liked the second pair because it had awesome sound quality. Though, the durability of these are a big problem, which means I will not be buying them again.
Rating: Summary: nice headphones, lousy service Review: The G72LP headphones are really nice. I was impressed with the sound and the bass. Additionally, I believe these are the only Sony "street style" behind-the-back headphones that fold up. When it's folded up, it's no larger than a tennis ball.The absolutely WORST thing about these is the replacement policy for the ear pads. I bought mine a few years ago, and the ear pads have gotten quite worn out and actually a bit torn. The replacements for these flimsy little pieces of foam cost over [$$$]!! That's just absolutely ridiculous and is a sure sign Sony just wants you to buy a new pair of headphones. ... At a cost of that much, my G72s are sitting on my desk, unused for the last several months.
Rating: Summary: The best headphones out there Review: These are the best headphones out there because they are from sony. The only problem are the tabs that go behind your ear to keep them centered, I just pop them off (They can be put back on) because if you have oversized ears they will not feel comfortable and they fit much better.
Rating: Summary: FANTASTIC HIGHS & KICK -ASS BASS!!! Review: THESE HEADPHONES ARE ONE OF THE BEST I'VE HEARD AT ANY PRICE. HIGHS ARE SMOOTH AND BRIGHT, BUT NOT HARSH AND BASS IS LOW AND CLEAN. THEY FIT LIKE A GLOVE AND ARE VERY COMFORTABLE EVEN AFTER WEARING FOR HOURS AT A TIME. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE HEADPHONES FOR GREAT SOUND AND PORTABILITY.
Rating: Summary: Kick Ass Sound ! Review: These headphones are phenomenal for the price. As other people have already mentioned, the bass response from these is superb. But unlike many bass heavy headphones, these also sound good for the mids and high notes. There is some distortion if you turn up the volume too high, but this is really a moot point since at that high of a volume you wind up with ringing ears anyway : ) The slightly longer cord is a nice touch. It allows freedom of movement without being so long that it entangles you. The only downside to these headphones is the comfort level... The soft rubber parts that fit over the tops of the ears have a thin joining line that digs ever so slightly behind the ears. This is really just a minor annoyance, and isn't too noticable unless you wear these for an extended period of time. But that is why I didn't give these headphones 5 stars. PROS: Nice bass response Good overall sound Good value for the money Behind-the-neck design Folds up CONS: Can become uncomfortable after a while

Rating: Summary: very very nice Review: These headphones totally rock, they stay on ure head, they have awesome sound (the best sound i have ever gotten using anything, headphones or speakers). There is only one downside, and that is the rubber things made to hold the headphones on. those dig into your ears after too long. Besides that, the headphones really work great, and i can fold them up and carry them in my sweatshirt pocket or leave them around my neck whenever not using them. very sweet.
Rating: Summary: Great Headphones... BUT... Review: When I first got these headphones, I was simply amazed by the incredible standard of sound quality that was dispalyed. In fact, I started taking these headphones along with my Walkman everywhere I went - and I've pretty much have been doing so for the past seven months... until now. A short time ago, the sound started breaking up, and the things that I was listening to suddenly started to sound incredibly muffled. It was at this stage that I realised that the actual adaptor part of the jack had started to break up & fall apart, revealing the internal wires that were connected to the headphone plug. The only conclusion I could come to was that the headphones had deteriorated from overuse, but I expected a bit more from a Sony product. Thank goodness there was a 365 day warrantee on these headphones. I took them back to the shop and was told that this model is now discontinued. The shop then gave me a refund to buy a new set of heaphones. I think the design of these headphones is great, but I was dissapointed with the level of fragility - especially from a Sony product.
Rating: Summary: Cool Headphones! Review: When I was out looking for headphones i found that not many were very comfortable. But when I saw these I knew it was perfect at first sight. I bought them that day. They are really comfortable and cool to wear. The only problem is that the volume and sound is a bit weak.
Rating: Summary: Nearly Perfect Headphones Review: Wow. What more can I say? These headphones are definitely a 'must buy' for anyone with a portable audio system wanting a GREAT deal. Lets begin. The headphones come in a nice package, excellent presentation. The cord length is very generous, works well for nearly all situations. I have yet to run out of slack running around with my Muvo NX clipped to my belt. The headphones can collapse into a small footprint, maybe a tiny bit bigger than a tennis ball. Very portable, will fit in my cargo pants pocket when folded up. When folded, they stay that way and don't tend to unfold on their own. Vice-versa for when they are unfolded. Now for the real stuff. The sound quality is EXCELLENT for headphones of this price. The bass response is better than my full ear-cover headphones I use at my computer, and the highs are clear and crisp. Midrange doesn't sound airy or washed out, everything sounds just wonderful. If you enjoy bass in your music, these headphones are for you. A little bit of tweaking on my Muvo and these were definitely one of the best headphones I've ever owned. To top all this off, they are very comfortable to wear. The soft rubber clips fit snugly, so you can run around in these without issue. Leaning back is a slight issue, you just have to be careful about leaning on the neckband, or else they'll shoot forward. This is a common problem with all behind the neck headphones though, so nothing to worry about. The earpads are very comfortable, and very soft and pliable. My only concern is the durability of these earpads. They seem like they would just rip on accident sometime soon, or just absorb sweat and disintegrate. Hopefully Sony sells cheap replacements, as I am gonna keep these headphones around for a long time to come. Summary: PROS: -Compact design when folded -Comfortable -Excellent sound quality in all ranges -Tremendous bass output -Generous length of cord. -Fits snugly so will not fall off -Excellent price CONS: -Earpads, while very comfortable, seem a bit flimsy -Leaning back on your neck can push the headphones forward. -No clip or easy way to wrap up cord when not in use. Other than those three items, I have absolutely no complaint about these. Definitely money well-spent. Jared
