Summary: The Best Headphones Ever! J! E! T! S! JETS! JETS! JETS!
Review: After never being satisfied with headphones, I have finally found the perfect pair. They are so comfortable, you forget that you have them on!!!!!! I use them at the gym, and at New York Jet Home Games {with - Sony SRF-M37V TV/Weather/AM/FM Radio Walkman }. Simply the best & most comfortable!!!! I have them in three different Colors!!

Summary: THESE HEADPHONES ROCK!!!
Review: After wearing them for 3 days I finally put them on trash (because they are not enough expensive to send em back). These headphones are for the very big ear persons only. They simply will not fit on any person who has small to middle size ear. They leak too much sound out. If you press them to your ear canal their sound is ok, but under normal wearing conditions you could not get the whole sound in your ear. The plastic used on this earphone is not soft, shapable and comfortable as well. This product has very big design problems.

Summary: A++++
Review: Excellent headsets. Great design. Very sharp looking. Good Audio Quality. Perfect length. Tends to occasionaly get caught on obstacles if you are not careful but for the price I would highly recommend this excellent product by Sony.

Summary: Great Replacement Headphones
Review: I bought these cause I lost the paddy things for my iPod's headphones, so they no longer felt comfortable. Not only are these much more comfy than those, but they have better bass and louder volume. They're great, it doesn't even feel like they're on your ears. Just keep in mind that if you wear glasses it might interfere with them. They kinda get in the way of my plastic frames, but someone with thin metal frames might not have a problem.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good product for the cost range
Review: I bought these headphones to replace earbuds that refused to stay in my ears, so the biggest draw for me was the clip. As some of the other have said, the clip works well - I haven't been able to make them fall out yet. Since everyone's ear is shaped differently, they may not be comfortable for everyone, but the plastic seems flexible enough to accomodate a range of ears.

Other observations:
- Neodymium magnet to improve low range.
- Rated for appropriate frequency range 18-22000 kHz - covers full range of most humans' hearing - some of the more expensive products (and most of the cheaper ones) don't cover the full range.
- No, bass response is not earth-shattering, but (A) quality bass response requires sensation of barely audible and inaudible vibrations conducted both through the bony components of the ear and the body as a whole - no earphone alone will give you that, and (B) c'mon, they're ten bucks.
- Isolation is okay - outside noise is rarely intrusive.
- Overall fidelity is good.
- Warranty period (as for nearly all Sony products) is worse than many competitors' - only 90 days.

Bottom line: These are good headphones for listening while you're walking, working out, etc. They are priced well and should generally satisfy appropriate expectations, e.g. not looking for intestine-shaking bass. If you're an audiophile looking for an immersive sensory cocoon...why are you still reading this?

Summary: your better-than-average headphones
Review: I got these headphones to replace the ones that came with my iPod mini; those were very uncomfortable. I wanted a small, comfortable, unobtrusive pair that wouldn't leak any sound and bother my fellow commuters (or at least advertise to them what I like to listen to!). I almost didn't buy them because all I saw in the store was orange, which sort of defeats the "unobtrusive" idea, at least for me. But I found them and bought them in basic black.

They are definitely small, and I like the design. They hook completely over your ears, and the ear piece goes inside your ear. Once I figured out how to slip them on, they stay on, no falling off or sliding around. But they're not so tight that they give me a headache or hurt my ears, thankfully. The earbuds are fairly comfortable- some days they need adjusting, other days not.

These headphones leak hardly any sound! I've performed a bunch of tests with friends, with me asking "can you hear anything now?" I wasn't anywhere nears as cool as the guy in the cell phone commercials, but everyone I asked did assure me they couldn't hear my music, even when I played it pretty loud.

They have one neat little feature I didn't consider when buying but certainly appreciate- the "tangle-free cord." Most headphones are made up of one cord which splits at a fixed point. However, that point, or junction, is not fixed on these, which means you can pull up the little piece of plastic to join the two loose strings for easy storage. Or, split the cord entirely, all the way down to the jack, and give an earphone to somebody else.

These fit the bill if you're looking for a comfortable, cheap, easy-to-store pair of headphones, and even though they're not quite the perfect ones for me, they're a solid buy.

Summary: I Like It!
Review: I like these earphones, they're great and easy fit in the ears. The reason I gave four star to this item is becouse when I put these on I don't feel that much comfortable. These don't have those soft things and I would like to fell comfortable with those. But the quality is pretty good and it's even better than last set that I had.(Rio)
I use MP3 Player and I think the sounds quality is great. Oh I forgat to tell you this it is not great for musics with high bass you know what am I talking about, the quality is not good for musics with high bass!

Summary: good sound but...
Review: I must admit, these headphones are very comfortable and have terrific sound for the price. My problem with these is a big one. I live in minnesota and in the winter the air is very dry. In the wintern these headphones will shock you. They will literally zap the inside of your ear. This is annoying and slightly painful. The even bigger problem is that when they shock you the electricity goes into your music player. These headphones caused by 250$ mp3 player to freeze. If your willing to risk it than go ahead but i feel people should be warned.

Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: I needed to replace my iPod earbuds - I'm one of those people who can't keep buds in their ears. I was willing to pay for a headband or clip model with good sound, but everything for sport use seems to be in the $10-$20 range. I tried these and compared them to the Apple earbuds and to an old Sony headband that came with a cheap Sony Walkman radio. Of the 3 sets, the best was my old Sony headband model MDR-W10. Second best were the stock Apple earbuds, and a way distant third was the Sony MDR-J10. The sound was terrible, very tinny. While they will stay on your ears because they clip on, they only fit right if your ear is the size Sony thinks it ought to be. Don't buy these. Whatever you've already got is better.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: About what you'd expect
Review: I was looking for some small, lightweight headphones that I could wear while running and working out. Ruled out, of course, were the normal earbuds, which have a tendency to fall out at the gentlest breeze, or at least at the slightest tug or jar. So, to that end, I picked up a pair of Sony MDR-J10 h.ear clips.

First, the good. They're very light and reasonably comfortable for something that's sticking just into your ear. No problem. The clips work very well -- no matter how hard I work I can't get them to fall off. It might help that they tend to get tangled in my hair. I personally prefer the clip style to a headband -- this way, there's absolutely nothing to bounce around while you're running. I should also mention that they look very sleek worn.

The cable features an adjustable restraint, above the normal fixed thing that marks the beginning of the dual cord, so you'll never have too much cord flying around your neck.

Second, the bad. The cord is a bit shorter than I'm used to, but hey, no problem. The sound from these features a whole lot of midrange without a lot of bass or even treble definition. You have to remember, however, that the drivers in these things measure in at like thirteen millimeters, so if you're expecting Sennheiser clarity, you're looking at the wrong headphones.

Overall, these earclips are quite satisfactory. They do what they need to do: They stay on no matter what, and they transmit music from your walkman/discman/MP3 player to your ears. If you're looking for headphones to wear while doing active things, then these are great. It needs to be mentioned that, with music playing all up in your eardrums, these things do a startling job at blocking out other noises, so be careful not to jog into a moving van or anything. Safety first!
