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. Less
K 99 dynamic, around-ear, semi-open headphones are dedicated for portable MP3, CD players and notebooks, offering an outstanding value to end-users.

Works Fine - Good Sound - They Stay On While Active

Cons Sound is OK, not fantastic
Recommended it? Yes

I've been looking for the ultimate set of headphones while working out for decades. Exercising is boring, so I started with a Walkman (listening to taped audio books) and evolved over the years to my current iPod (listening primarily to Podcasts - mostly from National Public Radio).

Sony MDR-J20 is a unique, problematic headphone

Pros no tangle cord! over-ear strap
Cons the sound quality is not constant, not very hard to break
Recommended it? No

I run a little. Jog is a more fitting term for what I do. I'm not one of those authentic joggers either... I run on a treadmill at the gym. I've got an Ipod Mini and I like to make 25 minute track lists while i'm warming up and then do my thing. Anyway... after seeing two magazine ads in one week... Read full review »

AKG K 99  HEADPHONES
 
            If you are in the market for an inexpensive pair of headphones, that is both reasonably priced, and that can deliver the type of sound that you might be expecting from a set of headphones that can cost up to twice as much, then I urge you to consider the... Read full review »
