Sony MDR-Q22LP w.ear Headphones

Comments about Sony MDR-Q22LP w.ear Headphones:

I have had two pairs of these, simply because after 2 years of wearing them, I feared Sony would take them off the market. They both still work. I sweat extensive amounts and I do get them very wet. I take these trail riding/mountain biking, gym, and runs.... One pair has been through the washer and dryer.....twice..... These don't mess around.... After a while you tend to throw away the plastic pieces that come with it and the chrome chips off (after a good solid year or more) but the speakers work beautifully. The quality of sound these headphones output is delicious. My ears consumes hours of it's bass heavy brutality... I approve these headphones for further use by other humans

These headphones are amazing! They were so comfortable and even managed to survive an accidental trip through the washing machine. To be completely honest the only reason I even need a new pair is because my cat got to them and even then I spent the time mourning their loss. I've gone through many products of a similar style through the years and it's been a waste of money. These are still the ones that had the best sound quality and were the most comfortable. Well worth the initial 20$. I'm ordering these again as soon as possible!

I bought a pair of these my Junior year in high school six years ago. I have trouble wearing other headphones because they pinch my glasses against my head and I had hoped these would alleviate some of the pain.

I've had these headphones for 7 years, and the quality is still good. I think just with wear and tear the foam padding is deteriorating, and I gotta wiggle the cord a little so the sound goes to both ears. I only wish I could exercise with these...they fall off when I run....

I'm a Musician, and thus Picky about what I listen Music Through! I've bought and tried numberless pairs of EarPhones, of all Types, and Brands, always dissatisfied, with them...until I discovered these, at Radio Shack, years ago...For Casual Use, in my MacBook, iPod Touch, Even Stereo, and TV, (Through a SONY Adapter Extension Cord, (Gold Tipped, in both ends)., these Clip-Ons are an Unbeatable Value, esp. since they're also Gold-Tipped, which means, NO Oxidation, between Plug and Input; in turn, NO Sound Deterioration. My First MDR-Q22LP, (which, BTW, cost me far more than $19.95), Performed quite well, AND lasted nearly 6 years, with Daily/Heavy Use, used primarily w/ my iPod Touch, for Music AND Lectures, Forums, News, Podcasts, etc., and to help me go to sleep. My Second one, purchased at "SonySltyle.com," March '09, had a Different Plug Design,which was *Flawed,* and wouldn't plug in Correctly, rendering it completely Useless. The only way I could get it to Work--but only in Mono, for TV Shows, NOT Music--was to plug it into the Extension Cord, and at the TV, pull the Extension Plug out, just a Tad, but watching Music on TV was a problem, since the Main Vocal Channel, or Instrumental Channel (rather than the Scratch Vocal, or Instrumental) would be the missing one. It drove me NUTS!!! Eventually, I just gave up, and called SONY, which initially said "that Model was no longer available..." However, after asking to speak w/ a Supervisor, (and informing her that this Model was available at "sonyeurope.com," but since there's no link to the US, I couldn't get it through them, but SHE could), I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN A WORKING Replacement Pair, shipped to me. As it turns out, they ARE available in the US, through Sonystyle.com, but NOT "sony.com." I'm quite pleased with the new pair (the 3rd. Ones, which were shipped to me last week), and will be sending the other two,(the 6-yrs.old, and the 8-MO.-old ones), back, for Recycling, along with an Apple pair, and some others I still have, laying around. NOTE, and a WARNING: RE: The *Replacement* Clip-On, (Same Model) 1- It appears that SONY has corrected the Plug-in Problem, and now it DOES WORK FINE, on all Appliances, Computer, iPT, TV, and Stereo. I'm almost tempted to purchase yet another Pair, as Back ups, just in case the Replacement doesn't last 6 yrs., like the 1st. pair did. 2- A WARNING: If You DO Listen to it too loud, you WILL cause its Mini Woofer to TEAR, and then be "Rattly," and quite unpleasant to listen to. This is what I did, by wearing EarPlugs, to block off outside Construction Noises, then wearing the ClipOns over the Earplugs, to go to Sleep, with very low sounding Music, in my Sleep-Timer Set iPT. Though, to to, it sounded very quiet and mellow, the sound coming THROUGH the Phones was obviously NOT, thus rendering its RT. Ear Inaudible, which caused it to begin Rattling, at certain frequencies. Nonetheless, I'd already had it for 5 years, prior to this happening. I do NOT know how Durable the Newly Designed--Shorter-bodied Plug Head--will be, (and I'm not quite sure whether ALL the Defective Plugs are off the Market. *SHOULD YOU GET ONE WITH A 2 mm CLEAR BAND AROUND THE BASE OF THE PLUG ITSELF,* RETURN IT IMMEDIATELY, FOR THESE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY, and will simply bring you a great deal of Frustration. SONY's Customer Service, though a tad Hard-Headed, (ask for a Supervisor), WILL send you a Replacement, which DOES work, and you'll be as Happy with it, as I've been. MY RECOMMENDATION: Buy them!!! (And just deal w/ the Cord-Tangling, as it's worth the trouble!

I bought a pair of these in my junior year of college and they've lasted ever since, even with the rough treatment that college and sticky-fingered roommates can dish out. I went through two $10 pairs of headphones in two years and I'm really surprised at how well these have held up despite only being twice as much as the cheapies. Occasionally the plastic caps will come off and there has been a barely perceptible buzzing sound on the left side (ever since I dropped them one time a few years ago) but despite the tangled cords and rough use they still sound great. Even though the foam is getting a little worn out I think I might be able to get another four years out them before I have to get a replacement. I wouldn't dream of getting any other headphones.
