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

KTX-Pro - When just hearing it isn't enough.

byLifeStar May 17, 2001
46 Helpfuls 47 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great design, great sound, very comfortable to wear. It just rocks!
Cons Long periods of use will cause ears to be sweaty.
Recommended it? Yes

The beginning:

Let me start off by saying that I didn?t care about the quality of headphones before. I thought that they were all the same. As long as you can hear the music and words, that?s all that really mattered. Well, things change, especially when you become a sound engineer for... Read full review »

Koss KTX-PRO - Inexpensive and Excellent Headphones for Your iPod or Other MP3 Player

bydkozin Sep 4, 2009
26 Helpfuls 27 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap, light, comfortable, excellent sound, good impedance and volume with portable gear
Cons Not as sound-insulating as in-ear or enclosed headphones
Recommended it? Yes

I have quite a few headphones, but mostly use the Sennheiser HD202 or Creative EP-640 (when I need sound insulation) and prefer the Koss KSC75 most of the time. I use the headphones with my iPod as well as with a portable CD player and with my Panasonic XR57 receiver.

Even though I prefer... Read full review »

Works Fine - Good Sound - They Stay On While Active

byraptorbill Aug 17, 2008
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »
