Sony quality headphones speak for themselves, but the boss doesn't pay me for a just single sentence. These street-stylin’ headphones feature a comfortable behind-the-head fit that won't muss your hair, water resistance so they won't short out during a workout, and for you night owls, a reflective surface that makes it easier for drivers to see you at night.
Powerful sound output of 104 dB at 1 kHz, and a frequency response of 16 Hz to 20,000 Hz with Sony's Acoustic Turbo for rich bass response give you solid sound, and they're designed to stay in place even while dancing or during your aerobics session. To help maintain that comfortable fit for years to come, they include a set of replacement ear pads.
Designed to match with Sony's Sports Walkman in appearance, these could very well be your next headphones. Check them out and decide for yourself.
Pros: Incredible sound (I use them w/ my laptop and iPods), great price
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: I had the older grey version of these and loved them. I left them at a friends house and he moved, but the headphone pads wore out. But these come w/ an EXTRA SET of headphone pads, which was a great suprise

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Lightweight extremely comfortable - after a year of rough use, sat on, and such and it has yet to show signs of weakness
Cons: the rubber molding that cushions the top part of your ear came off on both sides after a year or so of use, leaving a rough edge
Other Thoughts: The Orange reflectors on the side of the headphones are for joggers and bike riders for safety!

Sweet headphones, when they're not defective
Reviewed By: on 3/26/2008
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: I had a slightly older model of these headphones for several years, and they worked flawlessly. Great sound, comfortable, inexpensive--they were wonderful.
Cons: When my old pair finally wore out from years of abuse, I was so pleased that I bought an identical pair to replace them. The new set was defective out of the box. No biggie--it happens. So I got them replaced, and had a wonderful new set of headphones for about two weeks until the left speaker shorted out. Now I'm stuck with another defective set of headphones, and I can't return them this time. Maybe I just have bad luck, but it seems that the newer headphones aren't as well-made as my old set was.
Other Thoughts: An amazing set of headphones for the price (if you don't get a defective set). Well worth it if you don't have the extra $20 to shell out for a set of Sennheisers.
