Compare Sony MDR-J20 Headphones to Sennheiser HD 201 Headphones

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

The HD 201 is your budget headphone. But don't knock it - this unit puts out powerful sound with emphasis on the bass. The closed headphone design limits the amount of noise filtering in from your environment, so you can be sure that you'll be hearing nothing but the music you're listening to. It also includes in its design comfy leatherette ear pads to keep it from scratching or hurting your ears. Less
