 Performs better than expected. July 5, 2008
I was extremely pleased with the way the earphones stayed comfortably in place when running or using the jump rope. The moment of shock came when I completed my run and realized that I did not stop once to make any adjustment. Can't say that they are the greatest sounding earphones, but for the money and the comfort, I have no right to complain. I won't hesitate to recommend these earphones to anyone with an active lifestyle.
 Performs as advertised June 24, 2008
I was looking for a 2nd pair of headphones (1st being Shure e420) for use at the gym. I have damaged my Shure's from sweat. After having them replaced, i set out to find something that can stand up to the 3-4X's a week work out. After researching all the available options, i selected these Sony behind the head headphones. They are comfortable around the head and don't move during use. The only reason I don't give these a 5 is the ear buds take some work to fit just right, but you can get there. I am a little spoiled from the Shure, so i have to adjust to a different fit. At the gym, I most often listen to books on my iPod. The sound quality is very good, when you get the proper fit. If you don't, there is a little sound leakage and you have to crank the volume up to full.
So far, I have to say I am very pleased with the Sony's. They did a great job on "wire management" and you can use the short cord for use with an armband or the longer cord if you need the extra length. I have not noticed any wear as of yet, but even when they do eventually break, it's $50 not $300 (Shure).
I would recommend these to anyone and will likely buy another pair when and if these eventually break.
Secure, Great for Active Users June 23, 2008
I have tried other behind the head headphones from Sony, but these are the best. The flexible design stays close to your head/neck, and does not get in the way when using a weight bench. Lying down, sitting up, running...I've never had to worry about them staying in place. Short cable is ideal for using an MP3 player on your upper arm. Sound quality is very good and the multiple sizes of earbuds are useful. Got them on sale for $35, so it's a shame to only see them selling near their $50 retail price now!!!
Great workout headphones, little odd of a fit. June 9, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
These headphones are really good for working out. They stay on your head, sound good and the cord stays out of the way. I have used the Shure E2c headphones which are $99 or so for a year now, and they have superior sound and fit. The problem with them is that they have a freaking 4 foot cord and it gets in the way constantly. These headphones are far preferable for working out, though the fit is... interesting. They wrap around your head and fit snugly, however I find the ear piece slips around my ear and I am constantly adjusting them to make it less annoying. Stil, with the short cord and stability of the ear piece, this is a great product. Maybe I just have a massive head.
UPDATE: I do have a massive head.
Headphones June 9, 2008
I enjoy running, and have been looking for headphones that were not heavy, stay in the ears, and deal with sweat. The sony Mdr-As50G headphones fit the bill. I was disappointed with the sound though, I have had cheaper headphones, (didn't stay in the ears, or hurt) that sound much better.
