Sony MDR-AS30G

By Jo (reevoo.com) Read the full review

The sound, as I have found previously woth sony products, is excellant. I like that there is a case for the actual ear bits as I use them on the move and frequently have to shove them in a bag/case so that's really useful

I find they fit my ears really quite loosely which is a bit of an irritation and the band is not adjustable

They look good

They don't stay on my ears very well and I often have to readjust them, especially the side with the wire. Now on one side no sound is coming out at all

Comfy headphones

By radar (homebase.co.uk)

Good sound reproduction. Others nearby can't hear irritating hissing noise - so good sound insulation. More comfortable than push in ear earphones and not as bulky as standard headphones.
