Sony Mdr-As20J Active Style Headphones with Soft Loop Hangers (Black)

Comment: These are great headsets for their intended application. I use them while out exercise walking and they sound as good as I would expect from this type of headset. If I wanted better sound, I'd wear over-the-ear ones, but they are not practical for outdoors activities.. These have adequate bass and generally sound very good. They are a tad difficult to fit over my ears but once in place, they stay there well and comfortably. They stay in my ear vastly better than any bud types I've used. I'll use these until they wear out and will definitely look for the same or same design whenever that time arrives. This is a great product and I would recommend them to anyone needing a set for a similar application.

Comment: These headphones are so comfortable, I hardly know I have them on. I can listen for hours and my ears do not hurt. The sound range is all I could ask for. The bass is especially great. Much better than any other earphone I have ever tried. I have recommended these to a number of people, and they are all happy owners now. The added plus is the tangle resistant cord.

Comment: Although very comfortable the sound quality is very poor: thin, sibilant, brittle. They are almost painful to listen with - requires turning treble way down to be comfortable at any volume.

Comment: I like the earpuds, however, they feel a little too big for my ears. Maybe it is due to them being one size fits all. What I do like is they do not fall off during a run and the quality of music coming through is good.

Comment: I can't fit the Ipod style earbud headphones, so I tried these based on the advertising on the package. I put these on when I went to the gym, and adjusted the little slider piece on the cord. While running on the treadmill, they would not fit securely despite my best efforts. As soon as I laid back on the bench to benchpress they fell right off. The loop that goes behind your ears did nothing to secure them. They just keep coming out every two seconds. The sound was ok, as long as I held them in my ear with my hands.

If you generally have trouble fitting certain types of headphones on, don't fall for the packaging hype of these Sonys. Its just not true. I tried these on two separate trips to the gym just to be fair, but I was frustrated both times.
