When youM-^Rre running around in circles, you need comfort for your active lifestyle. Check out these Street Style« headphones from Sony. The headphones feature a behind-the-neck design and a no-slip design, so they will stay on your ears even when exercising, playing sports, or dancing. They also come with replacement earpads.These Street Style headphones employ the comfortable and stable behind-the-neck design. They have a non-slip design, making them ideal for exercise or for a walk to the corner market. To encourage safe night-time activities, the MDR-G57Gs come with a reflective ear piece. They are also water-resistant, completing the necessary checklist for full-function sports headphones. The behind-the-neck style is also appropriate for urban and casual wear; remember that with this style you can wear a hat while wearing the headphones. The MDR-G57Gs were designed for extended wear, and, weighing in at under two ounces, you may indeed forget you are wearing headphones.
Sony has installed several technical features to the headphones to ensure a quality listening experience. The thirty millimeter drive units are large for portable headphones, and deliver deep bass, low distortion and a wide frequency response range (16 - 20,000 Hz). Sony's Acoustic Turbo circuit achieves high sonic output by utilizying sound chamber and duct technology. Ferrite magnets give the headphones solid energy at a minimal size and weight, while the oxygen-free copper cord provides high conductivity and minimum noise. The gold-plated stereo mini-plug makes sure that sound is transported fully and accurately. The gold-plated treatment also helps resist corrosion and supports the headphones' high conductivity and low noise. The five foot long, single-sided cord is plenty long for active pursuits. Replacement earpads are included.

These fit snugly and are reasonably comfortable for extended periods but the earpieces get sweaty and cumbersome during long workouts. I was reasonably impressed with the bass compared to the other 3 or 4 on-the-ear headphones in this price range I've tried. These are my backup pair when I can't find other headphones. For times when I don't need sports headphones, I'll probably use buds. For sports, the ones where the little speaker fits sideways into the ear seem to work better for me.

Headphones appear to have been built with sturdy parts and construction. The wire feeding into the headphones have been reinforced at the speaker connection so that it doesn't come loose (which is what happened to my last pair of Sennheiser PMX60 Headphones after 2-years of regular use).
Sound quality is above average, but doesn't stand out from all the rest that would allow me to give it 5 stars. However, bass quality is crisp and has been able to play certain songs containing heavy bass without any of the crackling that I used to hear in prior headphones that cost twice as much.
Comfort: In the beginning, a bit tight around the ear. But the headphones seemed to have molded itself to my ear after about 4-5 uses. Now fits snug, with no chance of them slipping off. They wrap around the back of the neck, rather than the back of the head like most other headphones. This helps when you want to rest your head against a headrest on a plane.
Finally, the design of these headphones also placed some emphasis on style. Color combination (Grey with small orange reflector), along with it's "Street Style" is unique and stands out in a subtle way.

I wear my headphones about 8 hours per day and am constantly taking them on and off. As a result, they only lasted about 2 years. The sound quality was great at first, but significantly declined after about a year. I've had to turn the volume up full blast to hear my podcasts. When I listened to music, the vocals were harder to hear than the music. Yes, the ears pinch a little bit at first, but they loosen up after a while and are actually really comfortable.
If you need a simple pair of behind-the-neck headphones for occasional use, these are great. If you need a more durable pair of headphones, keep looking.

I bought these headphones to replace my old pair of behind-the-head headphones because the wire connection wore down. I read all the reviews and thought, "oh well, they look pretty good" but now that I have them, I dont think I would buy them again. I bought them mainly for the purpose of working out AND for when I'm doing school work sitting at the computer. I've worn them running and they are great for that because you can remove the pads to wash them --my face/ears do get sweaty-- and they don't move or bounce around at all and have reflectors which is really great for running outside. However, I use these more when I'm sitting at a desk. I can't wear them for too long because they hurt my head. I also wear glasses sometimes and they are impossible to wear with my glasses. I have to put the headphones on and THEN put my glasses over them and even then its just too much stuff behind my ear. And along with everyone else, they hurt. After wearing them for about an hour, I have to take them off.
Overall, great if you aren't wearing them for too long with the purpose of running; bad if wearing them for longer periods of time...but at least the sound quality is good.

I don't like headphones messing up my spikey hair, so these headphones are perfect. You can run with them and not worry at all about them falling off. The sound quality is great and stay comfortable even after several hours of use. My head is on the small size for a male adult and they fit me great.
