Sony MDR-G55LP


$25.00 Released October, 2008

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Sound quality is a step up from most stock earbuds. Great for working out or running--sit pretty firmly on the ears. Really reasonable price point for the quality.

The Cons:Absolutely no sound privacy--you can clearly hear everything around you and everyone can hear your music. Can get pretty uncomfortable after listening for a while. Lacks the bass boost function of the previous iteration.

The Sony MDR-G55LP is a mid-grade, "budget", headphone set with a street style behind the neck headband design that is targeted for active users of all ages. The non slip, and snug design of the ear clips means the headphones are suitable for rigorous activities such as walking, jogging, exercising, skating and many others.
