Not worth it [Posted on 2007-09-19]
I bought these because I was looking for something I could use while jogging. These are not good for jogging. They get really uncomfortable to wear after about 30 minutes. Also the cord is way too long. I had to loop it several times so that it wasn't hanging ridiculously low. I thought perhaps if I used them when I wasn't jogging that they wouldn't be so uncomfortable. But I find that even when I am just sitting on the sofa with these on that my ears get tired from the weight within about 30 minutes. They sound ok (decent amount of bass), but since I can only wear them for about 30 minutes before they get uncomfortable, I don't find them worth owning. The Sony MDR-J10 h.ear Headphones with Non-Slip Design (Black) are way better for jogging and cost half the price. For inexpensive general use I'll stick with my V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds - Bling Bling Black.
I love these [Posted on 2007-11-29]
I've had this headphones for about 3-4 years and I love them. Unlike the other behind the neck ones Sony made with circular earpieces, these ones don't hurt my ear no matter how long I have them on and fit comfortably.
I can't say much about the sound quality other than the fact that it sounds good for what you pay for.
Very comfortable, sound quite decent [Posted on 2008-01-15]
I just received these headphones a couple of days ago, and based on some of the more negative reviews I wanted to see how comfortable they are for a whole day before commenting.
Well, I guess I can say that I can get used to these no problem. There is a slight discomfort after a day (I use them at work at my desk, typical cubicle nation usage), but I had the same with my MDR-Q33's (clip around the ear) for the first couple of days as well. A couple of weeks into using them every day I couldn't even tell anymore that I had them on. I loved my old Q33's and would have bought another pair if I could still find them anywhere. The old Q33's have a metal jacket around the earphone wires, and my right ear is getting shocked every so often now from a short when plugged in. The newer Sony versions of this style have much thinner pieces going behind the ear now, so I decided to give the street style a try.
The sound - I have to say that they sound great for me. I compared them to the old Q33, and these sound defintely more crisp (highs) and defined (base). I can see though that for other folks there might be an issue sound-wise depending on ear size and head size (I have a relatively small head and very small ears) and how close you get the actual speakers to your ears. The bars are resting on top of my ears, with the connecting piece just hanging in mid air behind my head, which seems fine. All in all I am very happy with this purchase and would defintely recommend anybody to try them out.
good but not perfect [Posted on 2008-05-03]
Bought this pair of headphones about 6 months back. The headphones are good but not perfect. They look good and the sound quality is good too for such a low price. I use the headphones rough and are normally stored in the front pocket of my backpack. They lasted long (none of my prev. headphones lasted more than 2-3 months) and I'm still using them.
I wear spectacles and at first they were a little uncomfortable around my ears but now I got used to them. One major irritant is the v-shaped frame. It doesn't sit properly at the back of the head and frequently touches the collar of my shirt. I have to readjust them every time the frame falls down between my neck and the shirt collar.
Overall, 4/5 . Good sound, nice looking, durable but with few drawbacks.
Good sound, comfortable [Posted on 2008-05-14]
These headphones have good sound quality. They fit comfortably behind the head. They have a lot less pressure than the over the head type headphones. The neckband does not get in the way of eyeglasses. After using them for a while, I can feel a little pressure on my ears, but no discomfort.
