I was in the market for a reasonably priced pair of good quality headphones that were suitable for running and general gym use...as always I meticulously browsed many sites reading reviews trying to guage general opinion.
After reading reviews about the MDR-J10's I was intrigued at just how different peoples opinions were. I decided that despite a few negative reviews the strong majority of positive reviews were on top. I was swayed by the in depth quality of reviews where the product was being praised.
Now I have had a chance to "test drive" the MDR-J10's for myself, I can announce that for £9.95 they are EXTREMELY good value for money. I use them with my iRiver IFP-795 and they are incredibly comfortable, very secure and offer exceptional sound quality when compared to anything else in their price range. With regards to people saying they fall off/out whilst in use...I honestly can't see how this is even possible and you'll know what I mean when you see just how well fitted they are. It is quite apparent the first time you put them on that Sony have invested alot of time and money into getting the ergonomics of this product spot on. I went for a cross country run today and didn't have any problems with regards to the fit of the headphones.
When it comes to sound quality, I also own a set of Sennheiser MX550's that I use for everyday use...these retail at about £20 and I actually think the sound quality of my new MDR-J10's is on a par, if not better than the Sennheiser's.
So if you're looking for a set of headphones suitable for active use, then look no further than the brilliant Sony MDR-J10's, you will not be disappointed.
