Sony MDR AS50G

These headphones really were a revelation for me, and probably one of the best things Sony has produced. It does not mean they are the best headphones in the world, but they perfectly fit their particular niche. I use these as my exercise headphones - they band is light and unintrusive, but keeps a firm hold on the buds which avoid the sweatiness and bulk of regular earphones.

We got these because the package hinted at noise reduction and even though we know that is a seperate design for ...  Read the complete review
