Great sound quality, but uncomfortable.,

This review is from: Sony MDR-G45LP Street Style Neckband Headphones (Black) (Electronics)
I've been using the Sony MDR-G42LP Street Style Headphones for years and I've long considered them to be the best low-cost, wrap-around, durable headphones around. They'd last about a year before I broke them or one of the speakers would die (I'm rough with technology).
I recently went to replace my dead ones and discovered the new G45s... and I'm disappointed.
> The G45s have a significantly smaller speaker than the G42s and this makes it more difficult to place fully in front of the ear (it slides around a lot).*
> The G42s were made of thicker, more durable plastic and it's easily noticeable when the G45s wobble around like they could snap with a wrong movement.
> The G42s came with ear rests. These don't. A lot of other G42 users feel that the rests were unmanageable, but at least they were...Read more

Perfect fit for small heads and ears,

I suppose the sound quality is OK. In terms of durability, they start falling apart in less than a year but I think that's as much as you can expect from this price range (as someone else mentioned, the rubber starts exposing the wires of the L-shaped jack). Where these excel is in design: I have a small head and small ears so most headphones are too big for my head or don't fit in my ears, and it took me over a year to finally find a pair of headphones that stays on. If you have a similar problem, these actually provide a snug and comfortable fit. They won't fall off, not even if you're running or when it's windy outside, and they're gentle on the area behind the ears. These are versatile: so light you forget you're wearing them, they can be used for exercise, and they fit larger heads as well as small ones.

I have been using the Sony MDR-G45LP headphones for about 8 months now and I am very happy with how comfortable and durable they are. I use them while working out and running and they stay put and I can lie in bed with them on and forget that I'm wearing them. Even though they are incredibly lightweight, I have sat on them more than a few times with no repercussions. Sony did a great job of making headphones that stay put without making them feel tight.
I used these to replace an older Sony behind-the-neck model and the only thing that has bothered me is that I immediately noticed a reduction in bass from my older headphones, and I am by no means an audiophile. However, for the average day to day use with a portable MP3 player or laptop, these are great. 4/5 stars simply because of the reduced bass.
