Sony MDR G73LP Street Style Headphones

Sony MDR G73LP Street Style Headphones 

DESCRIPTION

Featuring a thin, flexible neckband that molds to the curves around the back of the neck and fits comfortably over the ears, these headphones are lighter than traditional headphones yet offer a long-lasting, stable fit. They include 30mm drivers and a neodymium magnet to deliver maximum sound quality with clear treble, powerful bass, low distortion and dynamic range.

Available in metallic blue, Sony's StreetStyle headphones feature a coiled neckband for easy storage in pockets or handbags. The headphones include a 4.9-foot cord in the same striking metallic blue as the phones themselves.

Strength:

Good sound production Stylish

Weakness:

Fit is a little awkward, takes time to get used to. The blue doesn't match my nails.

These retail for 30 bucks, but I got em for cheaper cuz I work for Best Buy. But I'm gonna review these as if they were 30 dollar headphones and I must say that they don't dissappoint. I have a pair of Sony Studio Monitor MDR-V600's and those things rock, but are just too damned big for exercise and just even walkin around. These are nice and compact, and have really nice bass, almost as good as the studio monitors. the only drawback might be the fit, as the behind the neck band fits a little awkward on me and might be the same on other ppl. If you can overlook that, these headphones r0x0r and should definitely be considered for your use.

Strength:

It's very comfortable to wear and is compact to transport it from place to place with ease. However the sound performance is horrible. After limited use of these headphones, and comparing them to my previous one's, they don't compare dispite the design. I don't recommend these to people requiring loud bass because it just doesn't perform in that area as well as others. I'd just stick to the conventional headphones because they at least have some bass to keep you satisfied.

These change the way we wear headphones with sony introducing the MDR G73

Strength:

great sound response (14 hz!!!) great sound quality small, easy to put in pocket blue is good

Weakness:

price is a little much, but worth it

Great set of headphones. I always disliked lightweight heads because they don''t have much depth. These however have some of the best bass i''ve heard in any of the headphones i own. GREAT FOR TECHNO!

Strength:

Review for the G72s. Good Freq. Response. Nice amount of bass and treble. NEVER FALL OFF!

Weakness:

Uncomfortable after extended use.

Overall a good set of headphones for the casual listner. Although do get uncomfortable with the rubber over the ear after extended use. Nice design with folding back. Good treble and bass, though may not prove loud enough for some depending on the music source.

Strength:

More comfortable than other Street Style headphones

Weakness:

WAY too much treble, may not stay put

I cannot recommend this product - or any of Sony's stylish headphones - at this time.

The Sony MDR-G73LP Street Style headphones are small and portable and very comfortable for me to wear, but are disappointing in terms of sound quality. There is no low bass extension in these earclips - and way overbright treble, to boot. The spiral-headband design makes the G73's somewhat difficult to put on properly; once on, they may not stay in position. And these headphones aren't anywhere near as efficient as in-the-ear and traditional headband-type headphones with the same rated SPL.

In short, these headphones cost $40 - but are way overpriced for the sound quality that you get. I wouldn't pay more than about $15 for this CRAP.
