Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony MDR-G57G S2 Sports Street Style Headphones with Reflective Ear Piece
Customer Review: Great headphones(despite the price)
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the S2 headphones with my new S2 CD Walkman, and let me say that these head phones are great! When ever I go skate or go downhill mountain biking and wear these at the same time, they never slip off of my head, they just stay nice and snug around your ears and behind your head. The "behind the neck" band is great because it doesn't mess up your hair. The street style version of the sport inspired S2 Sony line gives it a very urban stylistic look, which we can all appreciate. The bass on this thing is just fantastic, and the sound quality is great. The S2 version of the street style headphones have added extras like reflectors on the headphones so you can safely jog at night time without being runover by a car. These headphones are also waterproof, so water, nor swear can effect the performance of these headphones. The only downside to these headphones is that you can't comfortably wear glasses of sunglasses while wearing these headphones. Other than that, I absolutley love these head phones and I would recommend these to anyone who likes to listen to music while doing something active, as well as anyone who listens to their portable audio players alot.Customer Review: Owned for Approx 7 years

I bought this item sometime around 2003. (maybe '04, it was long ago) The headphones lasted until this year. (2010) They didn't break due to lack of quality. I adopted a kitten, and he chewed through the cord. I have absolutely abused the headphones. I use them for daily listening on the bus. I also take them to the gym for workouts. I have dropped heavy weights on them on several occasions. I carry them around in a bag full of books. I've spilled water on them, left them in the sand at the beach...really, the list goes on, and they keep on working! (until the mishap with the kitty)
I recently bought a replacement here on Amazon, and they sound the same as the older headphones. There were a few pieces that did deteriorate over the years. There are small rubber pieces that help the headphones sit comfortably over your ears. Those finally wore out and fell off a couple of years ago. Also, the foam pieces that protect the speakers wore out and fell off. I just continued to use the headphones without them.
I highly recommend this product. I plan to purchase a back-up pair, because I don't think Sony is still making these
Customer Review: Great Headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
a couple of days ago I bought these headphones and they are fantastic. For the price of 24.99 I was completely satisfied. These headphones give great sound and even look great as well. I have an ipod, and the earbuds that came with the ipod were terrible. They fell out of my ears, and gave terrible sound. I use my ipod for working out, and those earbuds just wouldn't cut it, plus, they hurt. The apple headphones were the worst I have ever listened to. These sony ones however are marvelously fantastic. I highly reccomend these to anyone. Now when I jog in the morning, they stay one my head, and I dont have to replace them every 15 seconds. Apple should stick to ipods, and computers. And accessories or either. Sony however should stick to their music. From these headphones I heard some of the best sound from a portable audio player that I have ever heard. I congratulate Sony corporation on a marvelous set of headphones, that looks great and functions great. Congratulations! These headphones have made me look at other Sony products, and I think that they work fantastically.Customer Review: most comfortable headphones I've owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I rarely provide reviews, but this is one of those rare products for which I can't help but sing praises. I've own three or four sets. Unfortunately, they haven't been made for a while, and I'm having difficulty finding headphones which can compare. Please comment if you have found anything similar!
They are comfortable. I wore one pair all day long at work. I wore another pair at them gym. There were perhaps one or two occasions when they become uncomfortable, but they were otherwise perfect.
They sound great. The bass was solid, and the full spectrum sounded great (I'm a musician, so my ear ought to count for something!). They let in enough sound for me to hear traffic, etc., while running, but they sufficiently block annoying office noises/coworkers.
Someone suggested that you buy an extra set of ear pads. Well, all of mine came with an extra set, and I even had enough spares left over to use on other headphones which came with cheaper ear pads.
Customer Review: The best headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these headphones so much that I've bought two pairs so far and I'll probably buy my third pair after my second wears out. I've been wearing this style of headphones for so long that I can't imagine wearing anything else! The sound quality is excellent, even when they're falling apart- I wore my first pair so long that they did begin to fall apart! I only bought my second pair because I felt like my first pair was getting old. I don't bring them around with me anymore, but they still work excellently at home!
These headphones are the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn- I've even slept in them multiple times without any problems. It's amazing how much abuse they can take and still work, after years of being twisted and crammed into bags and ripped (the ear foam part)!
After owning two pairs of these, I can safely say that if you decide on these headphones, you will be satisfied.
