Sony MDR-G45 Street Series Headphones

Habe den schon eine halbe Ewigkeit. Der funktioniert immernoch wie neu. Klang is echt spitze.Is halt Qualität. Der machte so einiges nun schon mit, aber ist stets in Form und ohne irgendeinen Schaden/Kratzer. Bin überaus froh über den Kauf. Werde ihn weiterhin nutzen und empfehle ihn klar weiter :)

OVERALLA very good headset for the price. Caveat, the price varies considerably, even on Amazon.com, often from hour-to-hour. I purchased a new set for $9 from Amazon.COMFORTABILITY"Behind-the-neck" headphones are generally the most comfortable type you can purchase. However, you can buy a half-dozen different headsets which look identical except for the brandname. Some will be comfortable, some won't. Apparently different folks have different shaped heads and ears, which is important to the fit of behind-the-neck headphones. So, when you find a set which is comfortable for you---buy an extra set or two and stash them. Personally, I find the Sony MDR-G45LP headphones to be very comfortable---but your experience could be different.ADJUSTABILTIYLike all other "behind-the-neck" headphones Sony MDR-G45LPs are non-adjustable because no adjustment is necessary. In fact, that is one of the advantages of "behind-the-neck" headsets as compared to "top-of-the-head" headsets.CORD LENGTHDespite the silly complaints of a few other reviewers that the cord is short, it is in fact the Sony MDR-G45LP cord is the standard length---long enough for you to carry your MP3 in your pants pocket. Short is better than too long---you can always add a cheap extension, for example  Cables To Go 40405 3.5 mm Male/Female Stereo Audio Extension Cable, Black (1.5 Feet/0.45 Meters) . If the cord is too long, it will catch on things, straining the cord at the plug----which is what will ultimately kill the headset.SOUND QUALITYThe sound quality of the Sony MDR-G45LPs is VERY crisp and clear, (unlike many headsets which are optimized to "pump up the bass" which makes voice and treble muddy). I use the headphones to listen to audiobooks for which it is perfect.CONSTRUCTION QUALITYAppears to be good, but unfortunately, the Sony MDR-G45LP has a right-angle plug. Virtually all headsets "die" by strain on the wires at the plugs---so straight plugs are far better than angled plugs (because straight plugs pull out easily, rather than straining the wire).COMPARISON WITH OTHER TYPES OF HEADPHONES"Behind-the-neck" headphones are generally the most comfortable type you can purchase. They also the best at staying in place when exercising.For an "outside the house/office" headset, I prefer my J-buds  JBuds Hi-Fi Noise-Reducing Ear Buds (White)  with my  Budkeeper Carrying Case - Fire Engine Red (BKFD20-G47)  case, which I clip to a belt loop. I can also stash a couple of extra AAA batteries with my J-Buds in the Budkeeper. The J-Buds in the Budkeeper are a much smaller package, and J-Buds are better at noise reduction, for example in a doctor's waiting room with a TV on. However earbuds can become uncomfortable after several hours. I suspect that the build-up of heat and moisture in your ear canals might lead to infections if earbuds are worn several hours daily. Indeed, enough heat builds up to melt your earwax, which then solidifies in and on the earbuds. Premium earbuds even have replaceable "wax filters". If you wear non-premium earbuds, clean the earwax out regularly, or it will get to the speakers and kill them."Top of the head" headphones slip easily, require adjustment, interfere with wearing hats and interfere with women wearing hair "up". The only purpose for which a "top-of-the-head" headset is better, is for listening to music while taking a nap.Apple/airline type earplugs are just plain uncomfortable, fall out of your ears easily, and do not provide the noise isolation of earbuds.> Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question.

Sehr leicht und angenehm zu tragen.

C'est les meilleurs écouteurs au monde que j'aime

It is a travesty that Sony does not still make these. I have NEVER been able to find an alternative that is even close to these in fit or quality.They fit my head perfectly. The cord isn't a sticky rubber, it doesn't get all knotted. The ear pads are easily replaced with a commonly available foam cover (available in packs, bought a pack of these years ago and still have dozens left).The volume is wonderful, I actually have to keep my volume on my PC around 50% or they get too loud. Other headphones I've tried I need to jack the volume up to 100% and even then they can be too quiet (and yes, I've tried everything and I believe I know what I'm doing after 35 years of PC use).
