Sony MDR-G73LP Street Style Headphones are amazing

 

Sony MDR-G73LP Street Style Headphones are amazing

It's my second pair, I love them to death. Comfort, sound quality, design, everything suits me perfectly. Unfortunately, Sony discontinued that particular model, I wish they brought it back. Current street style models are not even close to G73LP....

Beware of the behind-the-head style that is painful to wear

 

I own a pair similar to these. I bought the Sony MDR-G52 headphones about 6 years ago and they still work. I use them for light use in my home with a CD player, laptop, and TV. The foam covers that are on the ear pieces ripped after a few years of...

Attractive Pricing, Good Sound Quality In Mid-range, Does not interfere with hairstyle

Great Headphones!

These headphones work great they are very comfortable and sound quality on them is awesome! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good solid pair of headphones. The only reason I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 is because they are a bit...

Amazing Headphones

 

Amazing Headphones

These are the best headphones. Ever. I guess I must have the properly shaped ears or whatever it takes for these to work, but boy do they ever. Any other headphones I've used--over-ear, buds, over-head, whatever--get uncomfortable after anywhere from...

Compact and Unique but can use a bit of tweeking

I love these headphones but they CAN take a while to get use to and even need a little tweaking so that it suits the wearer. I've had a pair of these Sony headphones for over two years and use nothing else but them. I'm the type of person that does...

I have a lot of headphones, earbuds, and what not lying around my house and am pretty picky when it comes to listening to music. These are some of my favorites but a few notes. 1) I don't like earbuds or earphones and even expensive ones like Shure I...

I can't believe Sony made such a bad design!

 

I can't believe Sony made such a bad design!

When I saw these headphones at the store, I thought they finally can solve the problem finding flexible neckband headphone. So, I ordered them from Amazon. I was sooooo wrong! The neck band is flexible but so strong, it goes back to it's original shape...

These are among my favorite Phones

 

These are among my favorite Phones

It's interesting that some people say these are hard to wear. I find them by far the easiest to wear and the most comfortable of the behind-the-neck style. I wonder if they are trying to wear them like traditional phones? These are very light and stay...

Product Specifications

Street Style Headphones are a cutting-edge approach to high quality headphone design that establish a new look on the street; ideal headphones for use with Sony Walkman. Exclusive behind-the-neck headband won't interfere with your hairstyle and even lets you wear a hat while wearing the headphones, Non-Slip Design for Secure Fit on Ears fits snugly yet comfortably so you can enjoy music while exercising, skating, dancing or playing sports, and minimizes sound leakage for consistently clear reproduction. Spiral Headband Style minimizes slipping while jogging, playing sports, commuting, dancing or aerobic exercising, and provides excellent comfort. 30mm Diameter Drive Units are larger than many portable headphones for deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range; low frequency response extends down to 14Hz. Neodymium Magnets pack more magnetic energy per ounce than conventional ferrite, samarium cobalt or aluminum magnets and produce powerful bass and clear treble sound. PET Diaphragms ensure high rigidity for minimum distortion, and low mass for excellent high-frequency response. Lightweight folding design and compact body makes these headphones truly portable and easy to slip into a pocket or bag when you're on the move. Secure fit on ears minimizes sound leakage so you enjoy the full wide-range frequency response. Sony Acoustic Twin Turbo Circuit yields high efficiency; gets high sonic output from your portable stereo and extends bass response.
