Sony MDR-A35G Headphones (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

SUMMARY - Great sports performance, very good sound, a little lacking in durability but still the BEST sports headphones I have come across after trying around 10 different brands.I am on my fourth pair of these headphones so I feel that I am well qualified to write this review. These are great sports headphones. I am not an audiophile but the sound is good and they collapse if you need to carry them in a bag. They stay firmly in your ears during all types of exercise (running, weights, jumproping, etc.) and for the most part the sweat guard does keep the sweat out of your ears.However, I cannot rate this product 5 stars due to the inconsistent durability (as reflected in some of the other reviews). Each of my first three pairs failed in one ear and eventually the other. If they all lasted more than a year like my first pair I would be 100% satisfied but one pair lasted only a little more than 4 months. (1st pair - 18 months, 2nd pair - 4 months, 3rd pair - 11 months).After trying alot of sports headphones alternatives I can say that even with the questionable durability, these are still the best purchase you can make.
I broke these while at the gym. I couldn\'t believe they broke. The plastic is quite easy to break, which is why I think they make them foldable. I was hanging the headphones on the treadmill, and went to pick them up. They pulled and snapped immediately. Well, these headphones, while not the best to listen to for audio quality, were fantastic to run with. I can run and have enough cord to keep from snagging or pulling on the iPod. That is important!! I don\'t care about the sound quality as much due to wanting to hear what\'s going on around me if I run on the roads. I do care that they break so easily. Now that I know, I am very careful! They are light headphones, stay in the ears, and the cord is sufficiently long enough. What do you want for such a cheap price? (Earbud style headsets fall out of my ears, and annoy me, which is why I prefer something like this!) I rated this a 4, because I like the headphones, though they don\'t profess to be of high quality, they are great for sports. I would have given a 5 rating if the plastic were not so easy to break.
I am currently on my second pair of these Headphones and I just ordered two new pairs because mine are finally starting to fall apart after almost two years. While I do agree that these aren\'t fancy they are awesome for working out and running. I tried many different pairs of in-ear buds and over the ear headphones and most of them led to complete misery when I was running. I spent most of my run dealing with one side or the other popping out of my ears. Maybe I am just anatomically deformed but I have never had a problem with these.My only issue with these headphones are that you do have to be very careful if you choose to fold them up. I haven\'t broken as many pairs as some but it did happen with the first pair I purchased. At the end of the day though these things are so cheaply priced I would rather buy an extra pair. If you run frequently these can\'t be beat!
This is my 3rd pair of headphones for my Ipod shuffle, and I\'m sticking with them. After reading the other reviews, I realized keeping my headphones staying in my ears is more important than sound quality for the 30 or so minutes I\'m on the treadmill. These DO NOT MOVE OFF MY HEAD. My boyfriend mentioned that they looked uncomfortable, but they\'re not. The headband is adjustable, and the ear pieces sit right against the inside of your ear. It\'s so nice to not have to worry about them slipping out from sweat, which I do profusely. As for the sound? Ug. Bass is pretty bad. BUT I\'ll sacrifice sound quality for staying power this go round. Save the ear buds that came with the ipod for the plane trips.
My credentials: I\'m a runner. I ran in long-distance in high school track and cross-country in college. I currently train for 5ks, 10ks and half-marathons (my knees won\'t hack a full marathon). This requires a lot of time on the treadmill, and music is a perfect companion.THE GOODPrice - You can\'t beat this price. Sony is a good name, and while these are on the bottom end of the spectrum, they are well priced for what you\'re getting.Sound - Louder than some more expensive ear-buds and headphones that I\'ve tried. Good, clear, but not as good or as clear as you can get with say Shure or Bose in-ear phones or noise-reduction systems.Comfort - Once your ears are used to them, they\'re great for longer runs. The \"sweat guard\" works fairly well. This is a longer stem that channels the sweat away from your ear, and thus your phones won\'t short out. Also, these won\'t fall out of your ears no matter how far you\'re going to run. Always a plus.BADQuality - As mentioned in the price category above, you\'re getting what you pay for. If you\'re not an athlete, and you\'re into the sound, then pass on these. Shure and Bose are definately the way to go.Sound - Again, you get what you pay for. These are great for on the run working out, where you don\'t want your music to fall out suddenly and be left playing with wires and phones and so forth. But they do not command the highest and lowest pitches. If it\'s Puccini, then you\'re out of luck.Overall, these are great phones for the need. I recommend them for runners, cyclists, rowers, anyone who doesn\'t want to fiddle with their phones while working out.
