Summary: 5 Stars
i love these headphones! i have used them exclusively over the past 6 yrs or so to listen to music as i run. they are super lightweight and comfortable. the sound is fine. they stay in place. the length of the cord is fine. i do not have a problem with them when i sweat a lot either. sure they are flimsy and can be prone to break if you are not semi-careful with them. but hey, they are less than $20 headphones. I just ordered some more. the last ones i ordered was sept 2007 (i got 2 pair). ordering more now because i have to have a backup pair and wanted to make sure i had them in case something happened to my current ones. i have had the headband snap before when i wasn't paying attention as i folded them up. actually my last pair that broke had nothing to do with the quality (a stupid cat chewed through the cord!). so, i would def. recommend these as sport headphones, i think they are perfect for use when running, etc. sounds are good to me, although i am no audiophile - and seriously, i am so not that picky as i am running my route and sweating my butt off anyway.Customer Review: Excellent headphones

I'm a heavy sweater, and my old yellow Sony sports headphones would get clogged with sweat after 20 minutes of running and stop working. It was very frustrating.
I purchased these headphones 3 years ago, and haven't looked back. I no longer have problems with sweat clogging the headphones. I can run for hours with no problems now. These are fantastic headphones, they are light, fold up nicely and water resistant. The sweat guard is the best feature, in my opinion. The design of these headphones channels the sweat coming down the side away from the ear canal and the drivers.
Since these are water resistant, they are easy to clean after a workout. I put them under a little running water, then shake dry. The sound quality is good, I don't think it is fair to expect great sound quality out of a set of SPORTS headphones. Frankly, sound quality is not a big concern when I'm working out. I'm worried more about the fit and the headphones actually working when I'm sweating.
Customer Review: A must have for the active person
Summary: 5 Stars
Disregard any negative reviews on this product. These headphones are supposed to be used for those who are frequent runners/joggers/walkers and/or those who weight-train. I constantly do both on a day to day basis, and let me say this is a superb product. I sweat more than the average person and have always had problems with headphones because of this. The Sony MDR-A35G's sweat guard is amazing. I can't stress this enough, due to the fact that I've ruined past headphones in two weeks tops due to my excess amount of sweat. There hasn't been any breakup or interference in the sound of these headphones for the past 3 weeks that I've owned them. They are very comfortable and never get in the way of any of my workout regimen. Whether you're doing bicep curls, shoulder press, or bench press, the headphones are a great fit and won't interfer with your workout. I have nothing but good things to say about these headphones. Like I said in my topic, this product is a must have for the active person.Customer Review: Reluctant Fan to these Great Headphones

I purchased my first MDR-A35 a few years ago to use at the gym during my transition to small MP3 players. I wanted to use those ever popular ear buds without the headband and I tried many different styles and prices, but always came back to my MDR-A35s. When I got my Nano last year I searched for a reaplacent for the Ipod standard issue. Using some Sarah McLachlan and Si*Se tunes for reference, I set about a serious search. No headphone stayed in my ear or delivered the dynamic range I was used to. I got some nice Bose ear buds for Christmas 07, but alas they went back to the store as well. My old MDR-A35 stopped working and I went back to the Ipod phones while I started my serch again. My replacement turmed out to be the MDR-A35. The low impedance makes my Ipod as loud as it can be and the bass never falls away no matter how much I sweat and the price is right. They are not the most comfortable, but I need my tunes clear and loud and these are the best.Customer Review: No more bandanna!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried about four different earphones to use while running. Most of them pop right out of my ears. I finally settled on a set that wrapped around the ears, but I still had to secure them to my head by wearing a bandanna over them. I bought the Sony MDR-A35G headphones based on another runner's review here -- and I have to say thanks to that runner. These headphones are excellent! They stay put, offer reasonably good sound, and are relatively inexpensive. I run 5-7 miles a day, both on a treadmill and on the road, and music is a crucial part of the experience (especially on the treadmill). It's nice to be able to put on a set of headphones and not think about them while I'm running. By the way, you can still wear a bandanna for sweat control with these headphones -- you just have to put it on under the phones. Great choice for runners!
