Price Paid:  $50.00 from The Sony Store

Summary:
These headphones are awesome. They sound great, but when I use lower end products they do not sound as great. When I use them with my Sony Net MD Walkman Or Sony Micro System, they sound great. If you excpect them to sound great using lower end gear like cheap computer speakers, etc, you will not get the same great sound. The bass on these is great, really deep, the highs are great too. These are also very comfortable and I like how they can fold up and fit almost anywhere. These are the best headphones I've ever seen and heard.

Strengths:
Sony name, comfortable, great sound, can fold up.

Weaknesses:
A little expensive, but worth the cash.

Summary:
this reviews i've read saying the headphones are poor for this and that, are a joke. one person writing a stupidly long review finally came to the point there's no bass. i've just got a new sony minidisc player and these headphones, and the bass is MASSIVE for what they are (if you want it up that much) the soudn quality and balance is good. i have a £900 sony stereo system in my room. when i played my fav tracks on my MD player with these headphones, i noticed a few background noises (not noise...purpose sounds) that i hadn't noticed before. i rushed back and wow, i could notice them THEN these headphones feel a bit off round the ears, bit sore, but the sound quality is great

Strengths:
sound quality

Weaknesses:
bit sore round the ears, but i have been using them for about a day, they might hurt less as i get used to them or something

Summary:
Come on people!!! Most of you have no idea what you are talking about. First of all you get what you pay for. Second these headphones are decent. They are clear with little distortion. Lastly, for the design I think they sound pretty darn good. Bass is not quite as loud as I want it, but what do you expect from a 30mm driver in an open air design.

Strengths:
Clear sound. Treble, Mids, and Bass are adequate. Small size.

Weaknesses:
A bit flimsy. Not quite pounding bass, but for a good reason. Price.

Summary:
When I read Casey's review, I knew he couldn't have been an audiophile. He is more a bass-freak than an audiophile - which means, "you have to have boomy, overpowering bass or it's no good". That quote is truly false.

That said, the MDR-G72LP isn't one of the better-sounding headphones at any price point; in fact, I wouldn't pay even $20 for them. The mids just aren't there like some of the better headphones at the $40 list price range; the bass is uneven (bloated mid-bass with no real deep bass extension), the treble is tinny and muffled both at once. And the plastic clips that hold the headphones securely to the ear dig into my upper ear, causing upper-ear pain. And the clips interfere with eyeglass wearing.

All I can say is, "Sorry, Sony, most of your products are overpriced and underperforming."
