Amazon.com Item Description:
If you are looking for a quality pair of headphones for your active lifestyle, the Sony MDR-G72LP headphones might be for you. The behind-the-neck headphone style is an obvious plus for those jogging or rollerblading. It is also a smart choice for those landscaping or painting. Sony has improved upon the normal behind-the-neck style by including a non-slip texture, ensuring the headphones stay situated in proper listening position.

There are several key features which make these headphones sound rich and deep. The first is the oxygen-free copper cord. Single sided, and a healthy five feet long, this cord won't deny you active stretches and bends. The 30mm drive units provide ample bass to pass, while the Sony acoustic twin turbo circuit and high-energy neodymium magnets provide additional sound quality. The gold-plated mini plug rounds out the list of top-notch components. These headphones were designed for active pursuits; turn on your radio, CD or MP3 player and get moving.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - * Earpads can be bought for 2.95 each. ...
I bought replacment pads on Sony website - spare parts for two point nine five doallrs each. with shipping it was 8.95 for a set. https://servicesales.sel.sony.com



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - * Not reliable ...
The first ones I owned, the flimsy cord broke. The second ones I bought lasted awhile, but then they broke in half. The third ones I owned they had bad no sound on the left side. The were comfortable, and I liked the second pair because it had awesome sound quality. Though, the durability of these are a big problem, which means I will not be buying them again.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - * Great Headphones... BUT... ...
When I first got these headphones, I was simply amazed by the incredible standard of sound quality that was dispalyed. In fact, I started taking these headphones along with my Walkman everywhere I went - and I've pretty much have been doing so for the past seven months... until now.

A short time ago, the sound started breaking up, and the things that I was listening to suddenly started to sound incredibly muffled.

It was at this stage that I realised that the actual adaptor part of the jack had started to break up & fall apart, revealing the internal wires that were connected to the headphone plug.

The only conclusion I could come to was that the headphones had deteriorated from overuse, but I expected a bit more from a Sony product.

Thank goodness there was a 365 day warrantee on these headphones. I took them back to the shop and was told that this model is now discontinued. The shop then gave me a refund to buy a new set of heaphones.

I think the design of these headphones is great, but I was dissapointed with the level of fragility - especially from a Sony product.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - * Above avg value, above avg discomfort ...
For the money, these are good "active" headphones with better sound than can typically be achieved by the small-driver, in-ear headphone alternatives. The behind-the-neck design is useful on runs where you have to wear a hat to protect against the sun or if you just want to keep your hair neat. I have found that 40 minutes is really the most I can stand to wear these before they start causing gradually more intense pain around the ears. The foam pads don't last long and the cord is, actually too long for some work-out applications since you must wind it round and round to keep from catching it while running and yanking the phones off.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - * Cool Headphones! ...
When I was out looking for headphones i found that not many were very comfortable. But when I saw these I knew it was perfect at first sight. I bought them that day. They are really comfortable and cool to wear. The only problem is that the volume and sound is a bit weak.

American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken still needs a hair stylist and better wardrobe, but his silvern vocals are handsomely rewarding on this holiday television special. For reasons never quite explained, the unusual production actually deconstructs the illusion of a seamless TV show by showing cast and crew buzzing about between songs. But this gimmick is easily overlooked whenever Aiken breaks into one of his clear-as-a-bell renditions of a Yuletide classic. Highlights include "Christmas Waltz," with particularly thoughtful lyrics; the touching "Merry Christmas with Love"; and a sassy "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," the last shared with Barry Manilow and Yolanda Adams. Showman Manilow delivers a pleasant medley, and Adams is strong on her pop-gospel turn, "O Holy Night." A cute scene features all the performers talking about unusual gifts, and the finale finds Aiken and friends bringing down the house with "Because It's Christmas (For All the Children." --Tom Keogh

Players who love the Flubberesque exaggerated leaping of arcade basketball games, and also those who want to run serious simulation games for fun, should be pleased with NBA Courtside 2. A fairly complete arcade mode exists, with super dunks from just inside the three-point arc, smokin' passes for players with hot hands, and 5-, 10-, and 15-point hotspots for shooting big numbers. The sonic boom dunk actually causes the opposing team to fall down onto the parquet floor.

While many novice gamers will enjoy the high-flying, mad-dunking action of the arcade mode, the heart of this game is a serious basketball simulation. With excellent controls, impressive artificial intelligence, and easy play-calling for cuts to the basket, this game should sit well with purists who prefer their mix of coaching and playing in equal doses. A deep create-a-player mode is also available for nurturing an NBA star-in-the-making and powering up his abilities as he performs well over a season. The moves of Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant were motion-captured for the movement of the players in this game, so expect fluid athletic motion. --Jeff Young

Pros:

  • Exciting arcade mode
  • Well-designed control scheme
  • Realistic matchups between players
Cons:
  • Graphics could be better
  • Multiplayer mode is a bit complicated with offscreen players

Big news on the Harry Potter musical front: After scoring the first three installments in the series, John Williams has been replaced by Patrick Doyle. Still, Williams never feels far away. His main theme pops up here and there, and a track like "Voldemort," which eloquently illustrates the soul of a blacker-than-black wizard with thunderous cymbal crashes, shrieking horns, tumultuous strings, and a stately finish, firmly belongs in the Williams mode. Overall, Doyle acquits himself well. He can do light when needed ("The Quidditch World Cup," which starts out like some kind of jig), but mostly he's required to be ominous ("The Quidditch World Cup," which ends in martial war chants). Among the highlights are the aforementioned "Voldemort," but also the frantic, overpowering "The Dark Mark." Note that the CD concludes on a jarringly different note with three songs by the Weird Sisters, the group that performs at Hogwarts' Yule Ball. Led by Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker, the ad hoc band also includes members of Radiohead and Cocker's side project Relaxed Muscle. "Do the Hippogriff" is a fast-paced rocker that somehow comes across like a grungy hybrid of Billy Idol's "White Wedding" and "Dancing with Myself." The other two songs--"This Is the Night" and "Magic Works"--are less obvious, and much better. Still, the contrast between these tracks and the instrumental score that precedes them may not be to everybody's taste. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

You needn't see the film of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to appreciate the wonder, magic, and fearful chills of J.K. Rowling's phenomenal bestseller in John Williams's outstanding score. Williams typically avoids the source material for the films he scores, but he reportedly derived great pleasure and inspiration from Rowling's first Harry Potter adventure, and created a perfect motif (fully expressed in "Hedwig's Theme") to dominate his score. It's first heard as a dreamy celesta waltz and embellished through myriad incarnations and moods, often with a sinister edge befitting the darker tones of Chris Columbus's direction. Evident are fantastical allusions to Saint-Saëns and Tchaikovsky (among others), and Williams's epic track is "Quidditch Match," a breathtaking frenzy to accompany the film's dazzling highlight. And while Williams occasionally flirts with self-plagiarism (with inevitable variants of his Hook and Star Wars themes), this is nevertheless a richly regal score that brilliantly evokes the mystery and magic of Harry Potter's world. --Jeff Shannon
