Sony MDR-G57G

Designed to complement Sony's latest Sports Walkman portable audio players, the company's MDR-G57G headset features white earpieces, each with black trim and an orange safety reflector at the rear. These neckband headphones, or back 'phones, retail for...

Lightweight; earpiece reflectors; single-side cord prevents tangles; designed to match Sony's S2 Sports players.

Average sound; no carrying case or folding band.

This headset has the athletic aesthetics of Sony's S2 Sports music players, but its performance is just average.

"Ok for part time use"

ok for wearing when jogging, working out etc. fits snugly. but very weak bland sound. well compared to my sennhiesers and sound system which are midrange. but thats an unfair comparison i know.

fits well, reasonable sound for general use.

average sound.
