Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-A35G Headphones
Digital camera Review: Break too easily
Summary: 3 Stars
These have great sound & are very comfortable. They stay on while jogging & doing other exercise. I've had 2 pairs, both times they broke when they were accidentally knocked off my head & fell about 5 feet to the ground. They are heavier then other sports headphones I've had due to the way they fold up, and I think that is why they break so easily.Digital camera Review: Break very easily!! DO NOT BUY!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very happy with these headphones at first...and that lasted for about a week. If you would like to purchase a new pair of headphones every week, then be my guest and buy these now. The sound was very good. They were pretty comfortable. Unfortunately, I did not have time to try out the "sweat guard mechanism" before they broke, so I am unable to comment on that.
I assume if you have a very small head, then you might not have the issue that I did. I don't have an unusually large head or anything...pretty much average size...maybe these things were meant for kids? But if you have to increase the size of these things at all, you will see that the piece of plastic inside that holds them together is literally about the width/strength of about 3 toothpicks!! When you extend the length of the sides of these headphones at all, that thin piece of plastic is the only thing standing between your nice new headphones and a worthless tangle of broken plastic and wire that is now sitting on the floor right beside me.
Why not try fixing them? Wouldn't a little krazy glue put these things back together so the money spent would not be a COMPLETE waste? Yes...krazy glue DOES work to put the pieces back together. And then about 10 minutes after I had put them back on my head, they snapped again!! The glue held (I definitely recommend purchasing Krazy Glue for all of your gluing needs!), but the plastic snapped again about 1/4 inch from the orginal breaking point. So, knowing that the glue worked, I tried it again. And it worked again. Then I tried to put the headphones back on, and they snapped immediately on the other side (opposite from the original 2 breaks)!! At this point, I cursed for a few minutes, asked myself when Sony stopped making quality electronics products (I had a Sony walkman that I got when I was a kid that still works today, over 15 years later...although the headphones broke long ago...haha), AND I decided to give up on these headphones. I recommend that you do the same.
Digital camera Review: Breakable garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
I really liked these things at first because they actually stayed in my ears; however -
1. They hurt your ears if they stay in for any length of time (hard, jagged plastic poking into the sides of your ears) AND
2. I was just barely handling the things at the gym, and the adjustment piece SNAPPED APART!
These things are ENTIRELY too fragile! Sony should be ashamed. They used to have metal where this fragile plastic is today. I can not say it enough - SHAME ON SONY FOR MAKING SUCH TRASH!

I owned these headphones for about 3 months & absolutely loved it. I used it while working out & it fit perfectly. Good sound; felt comfortable in the ears; & quite compact. But as others have noted; it snapped in 2 pieces at the joints. Would not recommend these.Digital camera Review: Breaks easy

I have had these headphones since May 07. I have not been impressed with these at all. They have broken at every joint now. I have had to super glue the ear pieces back on, and now yesterday the center joint broke when I was putting them on. Will not be buying these again!!
