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
SOUND CLARITY provides Full Rich Sound for people with normal hearing and Enhanced Sound Clarity for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss.

Works Fine - Good Sound - They Stay On While Active

Pros Inexpensive Over the Ear Design, reasonably comfortable
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

bykc409 Nov 15, 2006
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

Huh? What'd You Say? My Sound Clarity Headphones Just Canceled Your Noise

byscmrak Jan 21, 2011
22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros great sound reproduction, blocks noxious noises
Cons bulky, not compact
Recommended it? Yes

A twelve-hour flight sardined into a "cattle-car class" seat some years ago convinced this traveler to never again suffer through the experience without noise-canceling headphones. And it won't: yours truly bought some Able Planet Sound Clarity Headphones (NC500SC) with "Linx Audio" noise-canceling... Read full review »

Sound is great. Full bass. If you want to save a little bit money, buy this one. I dont see any problem except the static sound if i seat close to cellphone or home theater.
