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

Works Fine - Good Sound - They Stay On While Active

byraptorbill Aug 17, 2008

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 »

Excellent Bang-For-Your-Buck Noise Cancellation for frequent flyers!

byrolaid01 Dec 10, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very compact, great price, good sound quality, comfortable, attractive
Cons No volume adjustment, in-line battery pack a bit heavy
Recommended it? Yes

I am a frequent flyer and have been enduring airline engine noise for quite some years. I purchased a portable DVD player for flying and I was so disappointed when I couldn't hear the audio from it because of the droning, ambient sound of the aircraft - even with what I thought were a very decent...

Great value ANR headset

byfokkercharlie Oct 11, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Decent noise-reduction, price
Cons Build-quality, less-than perfect comfort.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought these headphones more in hope than expectation, having also tried the Philips SHN2500, which didn't work at all.

Initial impressions are mixed- after finally penetrating the wretched packaging, the package includes a light, drawstring carry-bag, and a two-prong airline adapter,... Read full review »
