A very good headset for the price. Caveat, the price varies considerably, even on Amazon.com, often from hour-to-hour. I purchased a new set for $9 from Amazon.
COMFORTABILITY
"Behind-the-neck" headphones are generally the most comfortable type you can purchase. However, you can buy a half-dozen different headsets which look identical except for the brandname. Some will be comfortable, some won't. Apparently different folks have different shaped heads and ears, which is important to the fit of behind-the-neck headphones. So, when you find a set which is comfortable for you---buy an extra set or two and stash them. Personally, I find the Sony MDR-G45LP headphones to be very comfortable---but your experience could be different.
ADJUSTABILTIY
Like all other "behind-the-neck" headphones Sony MDR-G45LPs are non-adjustable because no adjustment is necessary. In fact, that is one of the advantages of "behind-the-neck" headsets as compared to "top-of-the-head" headsets.
CORD LENGTH
Despite the silly complaints of a few other reviewers that the cord is short, it is in fact the Sony MDR-G45LP cord is the standard length---long enough for you to carry your MP3 in your pants pocket. Short is better than too long---you can always add a cheap extension, for example Cables To Go 40405 3.5 mm Male/Female Stereo Audio Extension Cable, Black (1.5 Feet/0.45 Meters) . If the cord is too long, it will catch on things, straining the cord at the plug----which is what will ultimately kill the headset.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality of the Sony MDR-G45LPs is VERY crisp and clear, (unlike many headsets which are optimized to "pump up the bass" which makes voice and treble muddy). I use the headphones to listen to audiobooks for which it is perfect.
CONSTRUCTION QUALITY
Appears to be good, but unfortunately, the Sony MDR-G45LP has a right-angle plug. Virtually all headsets "die" by strain on the wires at the plugs---so straight plugs are far better than angled plugs (because straight plugs pull out easily, rather than straining the wire).
COMPARISON WITH OTHER TYPES OF HEADPHONES
"Behind-the-neck" headphones are generally the most comfortable type you can purchase. They also the best at staying in place when exercising.
For an "outside the house/office" headset, I prefer my J-buds JBuds Hi-Fi Noise-Reducing Ear Buds (White) with my Budkeeper Carrying Case - Fire Engine Red (BKFD20-G47) case, which I clip to a belt loop. I can also stash a couple of extra AAA batteries with my J-Buds in the Budkeeper. The J-Buds in the Budkeeper are a much smaller package, and J-Buds are better at noise reduction, for example in a doctor's waiting room with a TV on. However earbuds can become uncomfortable after several hours. I suspect that the build-up of heat and moisture in your ear canals might lead to infections if earbuds are worn several hours daily. Indeed, enough heat builds up to melt your earwax, which then solidifies in and on the earbuds. Premium earbuds even have replaceable "wax filters". If you wear non-premium earbuds, clean the earwax out regularly, or it will get to the speakers and kill them.
"Top of the head" headphones slip easily, require adjustment, interfere with wearing hats and interfere with women wearing hair "up". The only purpose for which a "top-of-the-head" headset is better, is for listening to music while taking a nap.
Apple/airline type earplugs are just plain uncomfortable, fall out of your ears easily, and do not provide the noise isolation of earbuds.

ce casque fait 104dB/mW et 16 _ 20 000Hz . vraiment à tester . à l'époque (2011) j'avais payé mon casque PMX 90 40€ pour avoir cette qualité , aujourd'hui j'en trouve un à 25€ d'aussi bonne qualité donc je le conseille . Merci beaucoup .
- Durable... my older same neck phones worked for 4 years and still woking (just cord got cut and one speaker stopped working).
- Excellent sound quality with good bass and best noise cancellation (however it doesn't have too high volume).
- Long cord with 3.5mm Jack supported on all devices.
- Can be used for phone calling and use your mobile's mic for audio input.
- Never breaking even in worst condition and flexible plastic material used that makes it stretchable to fix on any head size.
- Recommended especially those who have migrain/headache problem due to headphone/earbuds.
This product has really soothing and pleasant sound and you should only go for this. Audio quality cannot be matched with any JBL/BOSE/SYNIZER/BEAT head phones.
Sony neck-phone is extra-ordinary product.Buy it.. Try it..
Pros:
- Sound Quality
- Build Quality
- Style
- Price
Cons:
- When you first get your headphones, they may irritate the top of your ears a bit if you wear them for extended periods of time - this passes once you 'break-them-in' / get used to them
- The ear pads/foam will eventually change colour (to a tan/brown), more so if you wear them while exercising due to the sweat/oil from your skin and may eventually disintegrate in time - this is inevitable with all headphones like these, but luckily Amazon sells replacement pads (by KOSS I believe), 6 in a pack for like $5. In my experience, you only need to change them once every 12-16 months, so it's not that expensive.
Overall: 5/5 - In my opinion, the best on-ear headphones you can buy for under $100!
