Amazon.com Product Description:Lightweight and secure enough for vigorous active use, the MDR-J10 headphones--part of Sony's h.ear line--feature a comfortable, vertical, in-ear form, a clip-on fit that follows the contour of your ears, and a stable, non-slip design built to withstand exercising, skating, dancing, or other sports. The MDR-J10 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 13.5 mm driver units; while small enough to place comfortably inside the ear, they are also powerful units producing a nice bass sound. Neodymium magnets give the headphones maximum energy at a minimal size and weight. The MDR-J10's clip-on design is hair-friendly and keeps the size of the headphones small. Their tangle-free storage cord is adjustable, making for easy storage in a backpack, briefcase or purse. The headphones come with a 3.5-foot cord, and their L-shaped plug is tailor-made for active use and won't bend and break like an upright plug might.

Great headphones, November 7, 2009

I had these headphones in white for over two years until the left speaker blew out. I know some people won't like the over-the-ear design, but I think they fit great and I never have to worry about them falling out when I'm running. Very comfortable and the sound quality is very good.

Glenn FoxSounds very good, but, does not sit snug at all! Any movement will create a loose fit. I ended up using the crappy ear buds from my sansa clip to the gym instead of these...sad:(

I'm a little surprised at how many bad reviews these things are getting. Now, I have to admit that I don't buy these for audiophile purposes nor do I get them to be able to listen to music while exercising and what have you. I'm a daily commuter in a big city and just want some sturdy headphones to help me drown out some sounds on the way to school. In terms of ear-bud like headphones, I've yet to find a better pair. Personally, I have problems with standard ear buds. Even if they feel comfortable, I'm always convinced they'll fall out. Not so with MDR-J10s. The clip may feel a little strange at first, but you quickly forget you're even wearing them. As I've said, I'm not using these to work on my next masterpiece, but I personally find the sound clear and balanced. My favorite aspect, however, is how sturdy these things are. I use them practically every day for at least an hour or so, with a strong tendency to play my music quite loudly, and the MDR-J10s still tend to last me around 8 months!
For the cheap price, these are perfect for the casual listener.
