These headphones have a whole new approach to high quality headphone design that's established a whole new look on the street. These are ideal for use with all Sony Walkman personal stereo players or anything you want to get the most sound from. Especially with Sony's Acoustic Turbo Circuit that enables these lightweight headphones to pump out big, heavy bass. You want that big, bass sound from your portable system? You can strap a couple of fat woofers to your head (not very stylish), or slip on a pair of Street Style headphones and jam on. Less

Great headphones, but lacking in comfort.

Pros Snug fit, good sound, inexpensive, stylish
Cons Gets uncomfortable after short wear
Recommended it? Yes

There are a lot of new "behind the neck" styled headphones on the market. If you just go to the store and browse the shelf, it's hard to know what you're getting into. Fortunately, there are sites like epinions.com to give consumers a little bit of foresight by allowing them to read what others... Read full review »

Not worth $5

Pros The S2 Headphones are lightweight and have nice reflectors on them.
Cons They are extremely quiet and sound terrible
Recommended it? No

These headphones are terrible, I can barely hear them when the sound is cranked up on my CD player. My $10 pair do a better job than these. They are lightweight, durable, and portable yes, but the sound quality is absolutely terrible. They look nice, especially with the reflectors, but they won't... Read full review »

Pros good sound for price, comfortable
Cons minor distortion on treble at high volume
Recommended it? Yes

With my day job office remodeling in favor of a more open environment, my ability to listen to a low volume shelf system was gone. Still, I do like to listen to music during breaks and when working on projects. So, I went to Best Buy looking for decent, comfortable headphones that would provide... Read full review »

The Sony MDRG42LP Headphones--A Walkman Classic But Are They The Best?

byspongebag7 Jun 13, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nice, rich bass, lightweight, long cord, good looks, portable, durable
Cons Slightly uncomfortable, high end is a little muffled, beaks fast
Recommended it? No

After getting fed up with the speaker cord crawling out on both side of the speaker on my HS520 pair, and becoming extremely uncomfortable, I decided to ditch that pair for a different set. I looked at Wal-Mart and while they are very heavy in earbuds and old-school style headphones, they only had... Read full review »
