Product Description |
| These Sony headphones are super-lightweight, comfortable and safe. They have been designed with Sony's Sports Walkman series in mind. The MDR-A35G stereo headphones have a thin, lightweight and adjustable headband which allow you to fit them perfectly to your head's shape. The headphones are foldable (via three hinges) which allow for greater transportability; you can pack these away in your workout bag or in a jeans pocket. The moisture guard mechanism pulls sweat away from the ear canal, keeping your headphones drier and thus, better fitting and sounding. If you plan on listening to your MP3 player or radio while treadmilling in the gym, this feature will be greatly appreciated. The headphones are also water resistant; runners in wet environs will certainly find this advantageous. The open-air design removes undesirable resonance by allowing outside air to pass through the headphones; the result is a better sounding headphone. The open-air design is also a key factor in keeping you safe while you exercise. The headphones allow outside noises like horns, passing bikers and oncoming dogs to meet your ears, even with music playing. With sixteen millimeter drivers, although miniscule, you can expect to hear a good bass sound. Neodymium magnets, a rare feature on such economically priced headphones, provide maximum energy with minimal size. Meanwhile, the Sony Acoustic Turbo circuit is included for high efficiency; it gets high sonic output from your portable stereo, and extends bass response. The MDR-A35G's oxygen-free copper (OFC) Y-style cord is double-sided and is 3.9 feet long, allowing for ample movement and separation from the sound source. The gold-plated, L-shaped stereo mini-plug fits mini-plug jacks, not the full-size stereo jacks. The headphones are a flat black color. What's in the Box

 great sound and comfort! |
| Review Date: March 4, 2004 |

| I have always preferred the vertical in-the-ear style headphones since they were first introduced in the late 80's. These headphones are very comfortable to wear for several hours at a time. You will barely feel them. That's great, but how do they sound? They have excellent frequency response at 10 - 23,000Hz, and great sensitivity at 108 dB/mW. You will get good bass out of the tiny 16mm drivers. They are also water resistant, so you can wear them while exercising or in the rain. They are designed so the moisture will run down the band and drip off the bottom. I highly recommend these portable (and foldable) headphones. |
Comfortable and convenient

| These 'phones are lightweight and comfortable to wear. The sound reproduction is first rate. The shape of the earbuds make it easy to listen in comfort for long stretches of time. And, of course, they fold up compactly. |
Runners Enjoy

My credentials: I'm a runner. I ran in long-distance in high school track and cross-country in college. I currently train for 5ks, 10ks and half-marathons (my knees won't hack a full marathon). This requires a lot of time on the treadmill, and music is a perfect companion.
THE GOOD
Price - You can't beat this price. Sony is a good name, and while these are on the bottom end of the spectrum, they are well priced for what you're getting.
Sound - Louder than some more expensive ear-buds and headphones that I've tried. Good, clear, but not as good or as clear as you can get with say Shure or Bose in-ear phones or noise-reduction systems.
Comfort - Once your ears are used to them, they're great for longer runs. The "sweat guard" works fairly well. This is a longer stem that channels the sweat away from your ear, and thus your phones won't short out. Also, these won't fall out of your ears no matter how far you're going to run. Always a plus.
BAD
Quality - As mentioned in the price category above, you're getting what you pay for. If you're not an athlete, and you're into the sound, then pass on these. Shure and Bose are definately the way to go.
Sound - Again, you get what you pay for. These are great for on the run working out, where you don't want your music to fall out suddenly and be left playing with wires and phones and so forth. But they do not command the highest and lowest pitches. If it's Puccini, then you're out of luck.
Overall, these are great phones for the need. I recommend them for runners, cyclists, rowers, anyone who doesn't want to fiddle with their phones while working out. |
Perfect!

| I bought these for $20, (good price for these), and dont regret it at all. They are light and stay on your head very well. I was on a trampoline doning flips and they stood on perfectly. They are also very comfortable. They stay in play and dont move in your ear so the plastic wont rubb against your ear. They sound great too. I had sony MDR-EX51LP's (more expensive) and i like these alot better. Base doesn't overtake the sound,vocals sound perfect,and background is great too! So for 20 bucks, these are the best you will get!! |
Light weight on the ears and a good sound!

| You can wear these for hours for private easy listening and not be fatigued by them. Battery life with these earphones are extended also because of the tiny size of the speakers -- but still provides a nice bass sound. The angle at which the earphones enter the ear is a new design and makes for a more natural fit. |
