Amazon.com Product Description If you are looking for a quality pair of headphones for your active lifestyle, the Sony MDR-G72LP headphones might be for you. The behind-the-neck headphone style is an obvious plus for those jogging or rollerblading. It is also a smart choice for those landscaping or painting. Sony has improved upon the normal behind-the-neck style by including a non-slip texture, ensuring the headphones stay situated in proper listening position.
There are several key features which make these headphones sound rich and deep. The first is the oxygen-free copper cord. Single sided, and a healthy five feet long, this cord won't deny you active stretches and bends. The 30mm drive units provide ample bass to pass, while the Sony acoustic twin turbo circuit and high-energy neodymium magnets provide additional sound quality. The gold-plated mini plug rounds out the list of top-notch components. These headphones were designed for active pursuits; turn on your radio, CD or MP3 player and get moving.

I bought replacment pads on Sony website - spare parts for two point nine five doallrs each. with shipping it was 8.95 for a set. https://servicesales.sel.sony.com
Not reliableFebruary 7, 2005 The first ones I owned, the flimsy cord broke. The second ones I bought lasted awhile, but then they broke in half. The third ones I owned they had bad no sound on the left side. The were comfortable, and I liked the second pair because it had awesome sound quality. Though, the durability of these are a big problem, which means I will not be buying them again.
Great Headphones... BUT...June 30, 2004 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
When I first got these headphones, I was simply amazed by the incredible standard of sound quality that was dispalyed. In fact, I started taking these headphones along with my Walkman everywhere I went - and I've pretty much have been doing so for the past seven months... until now.
A short time ago, the sound started breaking up, and the things that I was listening to suddenly started to sound incredibly muffled.
It was at this stage that I realised that the actual adaptor part of the jack had started to break up & fall apart, revealing the internal wires that were connected to the headphone plug.
The only conclusion I could come to was that the headphones had deteriorated from overuse, but I expected a bit more from a Sony product.
Thank goodness there was a 365 day warrantee on these headphones. I took them back to the shop and was told that this model is now discontinued. The shop then gave me a refund to buy a new set of heaphones.
I think the design of these headphones is great, but I was dissapointed with the level of fragility - especially from a Sony product.
Above avg value, above avg discomfortJune 5, 2004 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
For the money, these are good "active" headphones with better sound than can typically be achieved by the small-driver, in-ear headphone alternatives. The behind-the-neck design is useful on runs where you have to wear a hat to protect against the sun or if you just want to keep your hair neat. I have found that 40 minutes is really the most I can stand to wear these before they start causing gradually more intense pain around the ears. The foam pads don't last long and the cord is, actually too long for some work-out applications since you must wind it round and round to keep from catching it while running and yanking the phones off.
Cool Headphones!May 18, 2004 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
When I was out looking for headphones i found that not many were very comfortable. But when I saw these I knew it was perfect at first sight. I bought them that day. They are really comfortable and cool to wear. The only problem is that the volume and sound is a bit weak.
