Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Lightweight and secure enough for vigorous active use, the MDR-Q55LP headphones--part of Sony's w.ear line--feature a comfortable clip-on fit that follows the contour of your ears. Both the turning adjustment and spring action earpiece allow for easy manipulation for a dialed-in fit. The snug fit design is built to withstand exercising, skating, dancing, or other sports. The MDR-Q55LP earcups use an open-air design that lets you hear ambient sound. This ability to hear outside noises is a safety issues as much as a quality of sound issue. With these headphones, you can keep track of car horns, passing bicyclists and barking dogs.

These headphones have impressive 30 mm driver units which produce a rich bass sound. Neodymium magnets give the headphones maximum energy at a minimal size and weight. The PET diaphragm keeps distortion to a minimum, while the large turbo duct assists the driver units in delivering a deep bass. Remember that the MDR-Q55LP's clip-on design is hair-friendly and keeps the size of the headphones small. Their tangle-free storage cord is adjustable with the handy slider mechanism, making for easy storage in a backpack, briefcase or purse. The headphones come with a 1.5 meter cord, and their straight-shaped plug is tailor-made for active use. With the included nickel-plated UniMatch adaptor, you will be able to use these headphones with both stereo mini-plug and phone components.

2.0 out of 5 stars these do not stay on your ears, February 4, 2004
By Kyle Paris (E'ville, IL) - See all my reviews
the sounds on these headphones is tight, but the open-air design lets other noise in, and also lets everyone around you hear what you're listening too. the biggest problem w/ these is that they do not stay put on your ear. you cannot go work out w/ them or even move around too quickly w/o having to readjust them. i would reccommend passing on these and checking out some of the other headphones sony is making.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, January 13, 2004
By K. Awopetu "Sosesm" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this headphone to use when running outdoors. The sound is great but as another reviewer mentioned, this thing rarely stays put in my ears. Its as if my ears are too small.

I called SONY to try to get a refund or exchange but there was nothing they could offer me. I will try to place it on sale in the amazon marketplace. I need to get it off my hands.
