Review NaN of , from Cincinnati

Price Paid:  $30.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
These retail for 30 bucks, but I got em for cheaper cuz I work for Best Buy. But I'm gonna review these as if they were 30 dollar headphones and I must say that they don't dissappoint. I have a pair of Sony Studio Monitor MDR-V600's and those things rock, but are just too damned big for exercise and just even walkin around. These are nice and compact, and have really nice bass, almost as good as the studio monitors. the only drawback might be the fit, as the behind the neck band fits a little awkward on me and might be the same on other ppl. If you can overlook that, these headphones r0x0r and should definitely be considered for your use.

Strengths:
Good sound production
Stylish

Weaknesses:
Fit is a little awkward, takes time to get used to.
The blue doesn't match my nails.

Review NaN of , from Canada

Price Paid:  $20.00 from Ebay

Summary:
These change the way we wear headphones with sony introducing the MDR G73

Strengths:
It's very comfortable to wear and is compact to transport it from place to place with ease. However the sound performance is horrible. After limited use of these headphones, and comparing them to my previous one's, they don't compare dispite the design.

I don't recommend these to people requiring loud bass because it just doesn't perform in that area as well as others. I'd just stick to the conventional headphones because they at least have some bass to keep you satisfied.

Review NaN of , from Melrose Park, IL, USA

Price Paid:  $40.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
I cannot recommend this product - or any of Sony's stylish headphones - at this time.

The Sony MDR-G73LP Street Style headphones are small and portable and very comfortable for me to wear, but are disappointing in terms of sound quality. There is no low bass extension in these earclips - and way overbright treble, to boot. The spiral-headband design makes the G73's somewhat difficult to put on properly; once on, they may not stay in position. And these headphones aren't anywhere near as efficient as in-the-ear and traditional headband-type headphones with the same rated SPL.

In short, these headphones cost $40 - but are way overpriced for the sound quality that you get. I wouldn't pay more than about $15 for this CRAP.

Strengths:
More comfortable than other Street Style headphones

Weaknesses:
WAY too much treble, may not stay put
