Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Durable, Decent Sound
Review: Have it for 8 months. Ultra durable, flexible, sounds good. HAve run with it in the rain, sweat resistant (wont stop playing due to ear sweat).

However the sound is very weak, and does not sound good with my ipod... Sounds good with my high power PC audio but not with
portable devices.. But its ultra durable and good looking

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Waterproof but no great shakes
Review: I bought these ones with my Sony Sports discman. I always had a problem. When doing good exercise sweat got the better of my earphones. SO these made sense. But when God opens one door he closes another(sorry for the inversion). Even though these offer good waterproofing the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired. SO therefore the 3 star rating. The sound was not crisp and there was no great bass too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Christmas gift!
Review: I got a pair of these, for more at Circuit City, and my wife finds them very suitable for her early morning work outs. Only problem is that the cord is not very long - only about 3 feet.

Summary: they're yellow for a reason...weak
Review: I'm a disc jockey so I think I know what I'm talking about when I say: Please pass on these horrid-sounding headphones. Had to get some good 'phones for my ipod and my workouts but definitely got the wrong ones with these. Oh how the mighty Sony has fallen. Absolutely no bass, even after I cranked it up on the player. Just a treble filled session at the gym. Needless to say, couldn't get the blood pumping with only highs in the headphones. Just got the Sennheiser MX500's and am very impressed with the audio, just wish they had a headband 'cause the earbud style keeps slipping out after some sweat. Back to the MDR-W20G's. They [stink]. Don't buy anything from Sony that's under [a certain prices] because they just don't seem to care about the quality and, subsequently, making money.

Summary: There's better for the money
Review: These are light and somewhat comfortable. As other reviewers have said they have VERY little bass. Lots of highs though, almost tinny sounding. If they performed better on the lows I'd rate them higher.

Summary: Not bad for such a light headphone
Review: This headphone, though very light, produces crystal clear sound and respectable bass. It's quite amazing considering the size and the weight. It doesn't disconnect you from the rest of the world (when you don't want to be) by closing off your ear, and its sound quality is orders of magnitute better than those throw-away ear-buds. It's very comfortible, too, just make sure you don't wear it backwards.

I use it with an Archos Jukebox Recorder and they are a perfect match. Highly recommended for the price.
