Review 1 of 8

Price Paid:  $20.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
These are nice headphones for $20. If you're not used to "behind the neck" headphones, some may find them uncomfortable. I like them because they're held tight against the head, and don't let much sound out. Sound quality is good. Better than any stock headphone that come with "portables".

Strengths:
Sound Quality. Fairly inexpensive.

Weaknesses:
Might be uncomfortable for some.

Review 2 of 8

Price Paid:  $25.00

Summary:
I'm nicely surprise about the sound and the comfort. These pairs were a gift for my cd player and the sound is better that I could expect. Good entry level headphones ! Now I'm suprised how the MDR G82 would sound !!

Strengths:
comfort, portability, the ears don't come to sweat, nice sound

Weaknesses:
the bass is not too strong - but for the size, there's no miracle. after all, bass is not colores and over emphased. Medium a little uneven, highs a little weak that's all
oh ! another thing : don't wear glasses wit them or your ears will soon look like the Concorde's aerobrakes !!!

Review 4 of 8

Price Paid:  $20.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
Typical good audio quality I would expect from a pair of lightweight Sony headphones. I use them for practically everything from listening to music, to watching late-night DVD's on my computer, to editing videos, to practicing my keyboard synthesizer.

I wear glasses, so it is a little awkward wearing these headphones, especially at first. But as long as I don't try to adjust or remove my glasses while wearing the headphones, everything is fine.

I'd recommend these headphones to everyone, even those wearing glasses, but they will require some getting used to. Therefore I must only give them 4 out of 5 stars.

Strengths:
Looks cool, good sound

Weaknesses:
Awkward with glasses

Similar Products Used:
