Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Joggers, snowboarders, and other outdoor enthusiasts will delight in the Sony MDR-J20 headphones, as their contoured clips follow the curve of the ears to ensure a snug fit even when bouncing around. The headphones also feature a flexible ear hanger that reduces stress on the ear, along with an open-air design that lets in ambient sound without sacrificing the quality of the music. The latter function is particularly important when skateboarding or running, as users can listen for traffic noise and other audible threats. It's the audio, however, that matters to most listeners, and the MDR-J20 headphones deliver on that count, too. Each earpiece carries a powerful neodymium magnet that provides great sound at frequencies between 18 Hz and 22 kHz. Don't give in to poorly designed, bulky headphones that slow you down while exercising. The MDR-J20s, which weigh a mere 0.35 ounces, are a perfect fit.

Product Description

These headphones are perfect for an active lifestyle. The clip-on style follows the contour of the ears, and makes for a secure fit while running, skating, dancing, boarding, whatever. The flexible ear hanger fits comfortably and helps reduce stress on your ear. The open-air design enables you to hear ambient sound, and the powerful Neodymium magnets deliver quality sound. Don't let bulky headphones slow you down, purchase a pair of the MDR-J20/SILVER.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the MDR-J10, May 26, 2005

By	Geophlyer (Golden, Co) - See all my reviews

I bought these headphones today and I am really dissapointed by them. I used to own the MDR-J10's and really enjoyed using them while I exercised. I lost those and replaced them with these, only to find out that they are don't work for me quite as well. The clip is not very stiff and only causes the phones to bounce around much more than the MDR-J10. Also the peice that you put into your ear is bigger than the J10s and doesn't stay in or on my ear at all. Remember everybodies ear is different, so maybe they will work for you but beware.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy!!!, March 12, 2005

By	JP'slady - See all my reviews

I bought these headphones and in the beginning they were great except the cords were very tangle prone. Well after less than 3 months the black rubbery material that covers the wires just tore and exposed the wires. Then they started making a weird noise and I called Sony because they are still under warranty, but they don't want to honor the warranty and they want me to either pay $16 for refurbished ones or possibly $58 to fix them. Yeah right on both accounts.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended, October 13, 2005

By	X. Hernandez - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The sound from these headphones is decent but the cords tend to tangle. Also, after a few months the plastic that covers the wires started ripping and the wires became exposed. I highly recommend that you do not buy these.
