Sony Street Style™ Neckband Headphones

Comments about Sony Street Style™ Neckband Headphones:

I'm a dj as well,so I've been through my share of expensive to cheap headphones, but I use these for recreation. I bought a pair of these from Radio Shack like 5-10 years ago. They have been coast to coast, out of the country, in the rain, snow, sun, in the trunk of my car through an upstate NY winter and a Cape Cod summer. Only yesterday did I finally lose sound in the right ear (the one without the cord attached).

I can only hope when I go to the store tomorrow, this new model STILL has the nylon sleeve around the chord, because this is what makes this headphone great. I have never had a knot in these.

THESE HEADPHONES ARE REALLY GOOD, UN LIKE MY PHILIPS SHS-5200 NECK BAND HEADPHONES THOSE HAD ALOT MORE BASS IN THEM BUT THESE ARE BETTER. I LISTEN TO MY MP3 PLAYER ALOT.WHO EVER THINKS THESE SONG HEADPHONES ARE BAD ARE WRONG,.

I wear these while I work so the fact that they let in ambient noise is a good thing and they don't fall off.

Considering how little I'd paid for these, I think my pair of these was a great buy. They were uncomfortable at first, but with a little breaking in they fit quite well. The sound is pretty good but ambient noise leaks in easily - this is to be expected from over-the-ear phones that aren't noise cancelling.I had a pair of these last me over a year and a half. I'd say that it was a well-spent [$]

When I went to the store I was told that this was a great buy...I was lied to. Volume is extremely low and the headphones aren't comfortable.

Comments about Sony Street Style™ Neckband Headphones:

The phones are badly designed with a sharp edge over top of the ear. I only wore them 10 minutes, and they were ready to go back to the store.
I replaced with a set of Koss UT40 over the ear.

I bought these headphones to wear while I worked out. After 32 days, they stopped working; the cord had frayed. [...]

I bought these headphones at an airport, as I travel a lot. I do not recommend them for extended use. They are not as comfortable as advertised.

Comments about Sony Street Style™ Neckband Headphones:

A disappointing product. Factory-set EQ sounds "chunked" and choppy, as if half the spectra are missing. Music sound is thin and weak, no bass, low volume. Flabby overall EQ response for music, although these phones might be fine for audio books and other voice-only listening. Lightweight and comfortable, although there is no reason to put them on. These phones are a not a good deal. And this from Sony, who make the world's best over the head "pro" phones, the incredible MDR 7506. The much cheaper Philips SHS390 behind-the-heads are actually decent and a much better deal. The Radio Shack brand behind-the-head phones are actually GREAT! Comfy, good response, and inline volume control, with ample power for an iPod. A a true bargain. Mysteriously, Radio Shack just discontinued them this Spring (???), so snap up a few pair at any store that might have a few left over. If you know "Mr. Shack," ask him to bring those back into the stores, please.

Just the thing for active listners who don't like "In Ear" buds. Good quality sound for the price.

My only criticisms are (and they are minor): 1) Would prefer if single cord was on the right phone; 2) Tension on neckband was adjustable (it's a tad strong for me).
