Amazon.com Product Description
Lightweight and secure enough for vigorous active use, the MDR-J10 headphones--part of Sony's h.ear line--feature a comfortable, vertical, in-ear form, a clip-on fit that follows the contour of your ears, and a stable, non-slip design built to withstand exercising, skating, dancing, or other sports. The MDR-J10 earcups use an open-air design that lets you hear ambient sound. This ability to hear outside noises is a safety issues as much as a quality of sound issue. With these headphones, you can keep track of car horns, passing bicyclists and barking dogs.

These headphones have 13.5 mm driver units; while small enough to place comfortably inside the ear, they are also powerful units producing a nice bass sound. Neodymium magnets give the headphones maximum energy at a minimal size and weight. The MDR-J10's clip-on design is hair-friendly and keeps the size of the headphones small. Their tangle-free storage cord is adjustable, making for easy storage in a backpack, briefcase or purse. The headphones come with a 3.5-foot cord, and their L-shaped plug is tailor-made for active use and won't bend and break like an upright plug might.

Customer Reviews

Grammy loves these headphones!
I'm a grandmother, 64, and just bought my 1st ipod which I had, frankly resisted [my CDs were just fine, thank you] - I love the ipod! I did NOT love earbuds [I tried several different kinds] - they kept falling out of my ears. Yes, I know they look cool and YOUNG, but I lean more to comfort now. These headphones are comfortable [and I occasionally wear glasses!] with good sound, inexpensive - I would definitely recommend.

Nice while it worked
These headphones worked fine for 12 months before the left side stopped working. The earhook design was comfortable and felt secure. I used them whenever I exercised, and they always stayed in place. The sound quality was decent, and they were able to cancel out some of the surrounding noise. It's a good buy if you're looking for something inexpensive and temporary.

You get what you pay for, unfortunately
I've seen others on this site who've experienced the same 'failing after 3 months' diagnosis as I have. At first I wondered if I was treating them roughly (I bike with them and sometimes stuff them away in a spare pocket) but it seems that they're simply cheaply made. They might be a worthy investment if you decide to splurge on a case to protect them, but otherwise I would say upgrade to a more pricey alternative.
