4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound, July 23, 2008
By Big-D (Lake Havasu City, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This headphones have superd sound. The absolute only reason I did not give them a 5-Star rating is because after about an hour of use, I tend to get a little bit of a headache due to how tight they seem to fit. Now I am a big guy at well over 6 feet ( I guess I have a big head), which could very well be reason for the tighter than normal fit. I do enjoy the sound and I am happy with my purchase. Because the band fits around the base of your neck in the back, you can exercise, run or perform any type of activity without them wanting to fall off. And you can't beat the sound quality including the deep bass you hear. They sound just as good as any of the much higher priced units I tried before choosing these to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best gym headphones... period., March 25, 2009
I just got these today (3/25/09)... they are well worth the $20 price tag! True, they are a little unusual - behind the neck and earbud design combined. But they are comfy, secure, sweat-wisking and SOUND GREAT considering they aren't even marketed as high-fidelity headphones. I sweat A LOT... and the MDR-AS30G's seem to channel all of the sweat away from the ear buds. Even the ear pads (NOT FOAM... YES) take on very little sweat, and wipe clean easily. I am ordering 2 more sets as back-ups, as I've tried 10 to 12 different styles of headphones, finally finding the best.
