Comfortable - especially when wearing glasses

Review Date: February 16, 2009

Reviewer: H. Lin,

I'm glad to find these on sale since Sony seems to have pulled them from retail shelves. The next generation fits tighter around the ears but uses smaller drivers.

The MDR-J20 works much better for wearing them over glasses since there's more room to give. The in-ear earphones are larger, which helps to block out ambient noise, and gives a louder/richer sound.

I wouldn't recommend the J20 for active movement, but they're great otherwise. I especially love that it's easy to pull just one side off in a single motion.

The BEST earphones, bought 2 more after buying the worst

I used these at the gym for over a year to drown out the garbage they play so loud. I also use these when mowing the lawn. The best fidelity and quality, I don't know how they could be any better. I bought Philips SHS8000 Premium Sound Earhook Headphones (since returned) for $29 (now $18 and less) and they were nothing in comparision to the $12 MDR-J20.

Great set of HeadPhones

I have owned these headphones for about 8 years and they have performed well throughout these years. I just recently broke them, it was completely my fault, I wasn't paying attention and snapped one of the over-the-ear hooks off. I have even purchased a pair of headphones to replace them but they weren't as good as these, so I still use the broken set of Sony mdr-J20's. I am about to order a new set so that I don't look silly on the train with one broken headphone. Also, the cord does get tangled A LOT (no frayed wires to speak of). I am pretty sure that I have used these at the gym in the past, but I didn't notice any movement. I am not an outside runner, at most I use the treadmill or the elliptical machines.

These are the best - sturdy, great sound, easy to untangle!

I've tried a lot of portable headphones. I really wanted something retractable, but the wires in those are so fragile. These have a VERY sturdy cable which is easy to untangle, and great sound. I like having hooks that rest over my ears (takes no effort to keep them on), and I can choose whether to push the earbuds deeper into my ear, or just let them rest outside so I can also hear sounds around me. I wear them primarily on public transportation or at work. Great audio depth of sound as well - enough bass, not too much treble. I have a black pair for travel (draws less attention) and a white pair at work. Don't waste your money on anything else!

Great!! for big ears.

Great sound, comfortable, they don't fall while your working-out and my fave the wire goes behind your neck - LOVE IT! but if you have small/tiny ears I don't recommend this product for you, is going to be the opposite of all the above.
