SONY introduces the exciting new h.ear Headphone line with the eye-catching MDR-J10 Blue model. These chic headphones are the ultimate in comfort, with a headband-free clip design that follows the contour of the ears, and vertical in-the-air driver placement.

Lightweight and secure enough for vigorous active use, the MDR-J10 headphones--part of Sony's h.ear line--feature a comfortable, vertical, in-ear form, a clip-on fit that follows the contour of your ears, and a stable, non-slip design built to withstand exercising, skating, dancing, or other sports. The MDR-J10 earcups use an open-air design that lets you hear ambient sound. This ability to hear outside noises is a safety issues as much as a quality of sound issue. With these headphones, you can keep track of car horns, passing bicyclists and barking dogs.

These headphones have 13.5 mm driver units; while small enough to place comfortably inside the ear, they are also powerful units producing a nice bass sound. Neodymium magnets give the headphones maximum energy at a minimal size and weight. The MDR-J10's clip-on design is hair-friendly and keeps the size of the headphones small. Their tangle-free storage cord is adjustable, making for easy storage in a backpack, briefcase or purse. The headphones come with a 3.5-foot cord, and their L-shaped plug is tailor-made for active use and won't bend and break like an upright plug might.

What's in the Box
Sony MDR-J10 headphones

I bought these little wonders to replace another replacement set that were awful, and hurt my ears. This pair not only do not hurt, but they are much easier to put on, they stay on better, and the sound is wonderful. I listen to books while commuting to work each day, and I love these.

I was very dissappointed in these headphones. They don't fit around my ears right. One of them seems to curl around different than the other, but I can't tell the difference in the curvature just by looking at them. I tried to wear them while working out, but they fell off after about 5 seconds.

Very good loud sound, excellent for the gymm I know for some people it will be a strugle to figure how to put headphone on but it becomes very easy after awhile...one drawback is that the bass isn't too great, but otherwise a great buy.

A couple years ago I bought these headphones, and I have just now had to replace them - and I'm going with the same product. I love that they lasted so long for $10 headphones, and trust me, they were put through the wringer: the cord was pulled and yanked countless times and the ear buds were sweated on through and through in a zillion workouts. Finally yesterday, the sound gave out on one side. Just bought a new set, and I'm hoping these are as tough. The clip on style is great, since typical ear buds don't stay in my ears.

I'll try to keep it short and sweet:

Pretty good sound. Not a lot of bass, but I wasn't really expecting that. Cord is a little short, but it's not so short that I would lower the rating. The only problem I have is that I've now had 3 pairs of these, and one ear keeps shorting out. Not sure why...
