I recently bought the aformentioned street style headphones as an alternative for the supplied earbuds that come with sony portable recorders. I've compared them side by side to some Sennheiser HD 455 over-head 'phones, and I'm quite happy with them. Out of the box, they had a very distinct weaker, thinner sound than the Sennheisers, lacking in richness and guts, for want of better terms :) That issue with 'wearing in' the drivers on headphones: I used to think it was a crock of sh*t, but after leaving the MDR-G72's playing loudly overnight, I'm now a firm believer. After wearing them in, they have a much better and richer sound, although lacking somewhat in bass, compensated nicely by the first setting of megabass on a R90. To summarise, they sound pretty average out of the box, but after a fair bit of use, they sound pretty damn good. I'd reccommend them over replacement earbuds any day, because they're comfortable, and manage to stay on your head, and they're pretty efficient (106dB/W/m), making them great for portables, even for weak Sony headphone amps.
