 Perfect form, adequate function October 7, 2008

These headphones are almost exactly what I was looking for. I wanted headphones that don't go over the top of my head since that would mess up my hair while commuting and get in the way of my helmet when cycling. Also, typical buds ALWAYS fall out of my ear...I guess my ears are just shaped funny. These headphones always stay comfortably in my ear and appear to be quite durable. Having said that, the sound quality isn't as good as I hoped. The headphones aren't very loud and if you crank them up, the sound is a bit distorted and lacks richness. Overall I am happy with the headphones, I just wish the sound quality was a bit better.
Decent, but have used more comfortable October 4, 2008

I ordered these headphones to use at the gym and while running. I like the spring loaded headband idea, and the ear buds aren't too bad. Sound was acceptable for exercise use (not Hi-Fi by any means). The cord has a nice feature where you can adjust where it exits. Nice features all around. The problem for me was the headphone would sag, causing the arm holding the earbud to put pressure on my ear. Not horrible, could probably even lear to live with it, but for $50, I'd rather find something else. I was less than impressed with the carry case too. I didn't expect much, but it is pretty much impossible to get the headset in the case quickly. Not a deal killer though.
 Better than expected September 17, 2008
I've been searching for a headset to go with my iPod Nano that can actually handle a real workout. This seemed like a good idea so I gave it a shot. To my surprise, they work amazingly well! I'm not an audiophile, but they sound fine to me. They stay put even when running many miles and the headband part is soft so I can still wear them when working the bench. The cord is a good size without the included extension if you are using an armband for your iPod. The clip that attaches to the sleeve is also a nice touch to keep from pulling the cord out of your iPod if the workout gets a little too intense!
Great fit and great sound, annoying cord length September 14, 2008

After the cord of my previous Sony headphones, Sony Mdr-Ex75/Blk Ex Earbuds Headphones with 9Mm Hi-Sensitivity Driver (Black), fell apart I decided to upgrade to a similar model. The previous Sony's had problems with staying in your ears, especially when exercising. Additionally, since all the weight of the cord is off to one side, the cord eventually fell apart making the headphones useless.
The MDR-AS50G headphones have been a fantastic replacement! They sound just as good as any other Sony in-ear headphones and they actually stay in your ears no matter how much you move around. They're very comfortable too! Much more so than than traditional buds. The spiral design also makes them almost as compact as traditional earbuds. This product is perfect for anyone who likes to exercise and wants the deep base and clarity of in-ear headphones.
My only complaint, and the reason I gave this product 4 stars, is that the design of the cord can be quite annoying. The short length is designed for using your MP3 player with an armband, and its too short to use it for anything else. The extension cord makes the the cord length far too long to be practical, and its also pretty heavy. In order to keep my iPod in my pocket, I have to stuff a lot of the cord into my pocket because its just too long. The product does come with a clip to help combat the extra weight of the extension cord, but I feel that this whole problem could be solved with just one cord length.
Pros:
- great sound quality, deep bass, very clear
- stays in your ears during any activity
- very compact and easy to store
- comfortable
Cons:
- cord length
Pretty good headphones September 8, 2008
These headphones work out pretty good, sound is acceptable for headphones of this size, they stay on good while running and moving around a lot. The one thing I don't like about the fit is instead of resting on the top of your ears like most behind the head headphone the create small pressure point on the back of your head where the band hits. Its not uncomfortable just different.
