Query: Very good all-around

I went through quite a few inexpensive headphones before settling on the MDRs. Other headphones would hurt my ear (earbuds), fall out of my ear, sound terrible, or the cord was too short to have my MP3 player in my pants pocket. These solved all those problems. They have a nice long cord, stay in my ear, are very comfortable, and as an added benefit they don't block outside sounds.I thought the sound quality is excellent, but I listen almost exclusively to spoken podcasts, so I admit that frequency response isn't that critical for me. Sometimes you need to jiggle the speaker part more snugly against your ear canal to get the best sound.The biggest drawback to these is that when they've been stored and you're trying to unravel the cord, the ear hooks act like grappling hooks and really get tangled up in the cord.
