Good value for those who can't fit earbuds

 

Good value for those who can't fit earbuds

These are nice, inexpensive, over-the-head headphones which are the only ones I can use---I am one of those people for whom earbuds just fall out immediately when doing any kind of activity. These headphones are not rated as `sports' headphones,...

Good, but they short out...

I'm on my second pair of these and have decided to switch to a different headphone. I use them for the gym with my Creative Zen Stone. The first pair I had, one side shorted out after about a year. The pair I am on now shorted out just after 8 months....

Fine for mobile use

I picked up these headphones to use with an iPod. They do exactly what I want them to do: allow me to listen to music without having to worry about keeping track of an expensive pair of earbuds or headphones. I think the sound quality is decent, with...

We like these, because they stay in your ears and they sound great. They usually last a year or so. I buy 2 at a time.

Love them

 

Love them

These headphones are incredibly light weight and require delicate handling, but the sound is incredible. Very full and they fit nicely in your ears, you hardly know they're there. I use them for jogging, and can't say enough positive things

Not For The Gym

 

Not For The Gym

I bought these to replace the old orange/white sport model by Sony.They don't fit my ipod jack firmly, so I am unable to use them while running.The length of the cord is short.They don't have any real bass sound.Better off using them to plug into a...

Work Great/ Great Price

 

Work Great/ Great Price

Great sound, can even hear solid on my riding lawnmower. One negative that may cause problems in the future,the wires are awfully thin and flimsy. For a sport headphone I would of liked it a bit more tough so it survives the "sport". But on the flip...

Product Specifications

Sony offers the MDR-W24V vertical, in-the-ear headphones. Vertical in-the-ear design reduces size and weight to the bare minimum to be comfortable hour after hour. Cord-Mounted Volume Control is always handy. No more groping for the volume on your portable stereo. Wide Headband allows for broader weight distribution, greater comfort. 13.5 MM Diameter Driver is small enough to fit inside your ear. Neodymium Magnet assures maximum energy in minimum size. Neodymium is comparably more powerful than conventional Samarium Cobalt or Aluminum magnets. Sony Acoustic Twin Turbo Circuit allows for high efficiency, gets high sonic output from your portable stereo and extends bass down to 18 Hz. Nickel-Plated Mini-Plug resists corrosion for high conductivity, low noise.
