5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific for the price, February 25, 2002
This review is from: Sony Ultra Lightweight MDR-W08L Vertical In-The-Ear Headphones (Electronics)
I was looking for a good pair of headphones to replace the ones that came with my portable (the kind that just barely cover the ear and then not very well--you know what I mean) when I came across these.

I was a little skeptical because of the price (I was under the misconception that good headgear has to cost a bundle).

Boy, was I surprised.

The first time I put them on (riding on the commuter train) I was amazed at the sound quality. They beat the ones I had 100% in total sound reaching the ear canal. This helped block out the extraneous sounds of engine and multiple conversations. Plus, the bass was solid as well. As an added bonus, they are incredibly light and are plastic so the headband doesn't scratch your head (something that has irked me with other headsets).

With this level quality, and for this price, you just can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars A runner's best friend!, September 28, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Sony Ultra Lightweight MDR-W08L Vertical In-The-Ear Headphones (Electronics)
As a runner, I need lightweight headphones that don't jump/move/jar around. I hate ear buds (hate them!) as they are seemingly designed for people w/LARGE ear holes! These things are tiny, fit nicely IN your ear and provide great sound without annoying you on a long run! The price is fabulous too! Last time I ordered, I bought 4 pairs (whenever I like something it seems to be discontinued) and I just broke into pair #2 this week (after almost a year w/the others). I've run in these for 3 half marathons and countless training runs, inside and out. If I wouldn't wad them up and throw them in my gym bag, they'd probably last even longer, but eventually one side tends to give out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Headset!, January 11, 2002
By 
This review is from: Sony Ultra Lightweight MDR-W08L Vertical In-The-Ear Headphones (Electronics)
I bought these for my Sony mini-disc player, and they are quite the powerhouse! The sound that comes out of these little guys is amazing. These little phones are a tad awkaward (FOR ME),though, because I always snag the wires on something, but it's my fault. I am never too careful with wires. Speaking of wires, the cable has a volume slide-control whuich is very convenient for when you don'r feel like pulling the player out of your pocket to turn up the volume. That is, when not using the remote.

Sony always makes good products, and like always, I am pleased with my purchase. With good compactability, I can pack these guys in my backpack, and because they are so flexible, they still retain their shape and excellent sound and performance standards.

Let's talk about bass. The bass expansion is great and because of the volume control slider, you don't have to go deaf because you forgot to turn down the volume (on your player) prior to using it.

Not only ismodel MDR08L great for MD... Read more
