Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Product Description
The MDR-W08L headphones fit inside the ear for jostle-free listening. Created for active listeners, these headphones are better held in place with the wide, over-the-head headband. They are extremely lightweight (.5 ounces) and will provide hours of comfortable listening.

Sony uses 13.5 mm driver units in these headphones. While lightweight and small enough to fit inside the ear, they also deliver a good bass sound and wide frequency range (down to 20 Hz.) Neodymium magnets give the headphones maximum energy at a minimal size and weight. The open-air design allows for ambient noise to enter the ear, a safe feature for exercisers as you will hear car horns, passing bikers and dog barks. The cord is one meter long (3.3 feet) and the nickel-plated mini-plug offers crisp sound delivery. The headphones are a modern black color.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent   November 17, 2008
They stay in your ear when active.
They are not bothersome in your ear the way ear buds can be.
I highly recommend.



5 out of 5 stars Basic, good quality, great for running   November 16, 2008
I love these headphones! They are light and good quality and a great price. No bells and whistles, but they fit well, and unlike the Dynex pair I was using before they have a good shape - they stay in place while I'm running. I have small ears and I can't wear just any in-ear headphones. The buds on these are small enough that they are comfortable for hours. I have had several pairs before. Be prepared - they eventually will break, or the wires get loose and you lose sound in one ear, but at this price, who cares? Mine typically last about a year, and I buy several pairs at a time so I know I have a back up pair around.


5 out of 5 stars My favorite headphoness   November 5, 2008
I've had 4 pairs of these headphones. I love the fit, sound and weight. When they fail, it's in the cord, usually near the plug. Nevertheless their lifespan is long, and I think their value is twice the price.


5 out of 5 stars Great for running   November 2, 2008
These phones are a great choice for runners. They stay firmly on the head, and are open-air so you can hear traffic noises for safety. They are cheap enough so I keep pairs in the Gym locker, car, and at home. Sound quality is good, but bass level is average.


4 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted   October 22, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

A few other reviewers were helpful in that they used these headphones exclusively for running which is what I was most interested in. Ear buds fall out of my ears.

I found these headphones to be very lightweight, much more comfortable than ear buds and most importantly they were stable and stayed put even at speeds up to 10mph. They even have a decent sound to boot!
