Best earphones ever (for my head & ears).......2007-10-21
I love these earhooks/headphone !!!! My family totally feels different then me about them. I guess it's the shape of your head/ears. They fit ME like a glove. I am female the two other family memebers are male. I don't know if there is a connection. I am buying my second pair not because they broke, but because they are white and are filthy from working in the garden. The ear part is very flexible and fit comfortable for my ears. Maybe I have bigger ears???? The other ones are too tight on my ears & hurt. My family find others to fit better, again it may be the size of the ears? However, I am not Dumbo but they do feel better & stay in place comfortably on me. Patrice
They fit me fine and sound really good! And they're cheap!!.......2007-08-21
Individual fit must be a large part of people's reaction to these MDR-J20's. Otherwise I don't understand the tepid reviews here.
In my case, both the in-ear speaker and the ear hook work without giving the feeling of needing to adjust them. The bud-size is just right, and the ear hook actually works to counteract cord-tugging. I wear glasses, and the ear hooks fit right in there without cramping or pinching.
By contrast, my most recent prior headphone purchase, (the Shure E3c-N in-ear phones for 179.00 here at Amazon) has been a total loss, because I tried to make them fit/sound good for several days, and never was successful. I might as well have used the money I spent on the Shures as packaging material or as fire-starter. They sit, unused, in their case.
So, are the 17.00-ish Sony MDR-J20's ten times worse than the 179.00 Shures? Not hardly! In fact I am sure they sound lots better than the E3c-N's in my ears. The Sonys also resist being tugged out by cord tension and aren't as critical in regard to placement in order to get good sound and some semblance of bass.
For reference, my home system consists of a Denon 2807 receiver running a pair of Vienna Acoustics Baby Grands, a Maestro center channel and four Waltz's for surrounds, and a REL B3 200-watt sub.(This is over eight thousand dollars worth of speakers, if you're not familiar with the line) so that's my reference for what constitutes 'very good sound'. And these little Sonys do sound good. They do not sound nearly as good as the Vienna Acoustics driven by the 770-watt Denon, but how could they be expected to, for about 17 bucks? They outshine the 10x more expensive Shures, and in my book that makes them a bargain.
As to the short-cord on one side issue, wear your iPod on the left side and string the right channel cord around the back of your neck, and you're set to go.
I am not using these for sports, but at work these stayed in place, no problem.
I'm stocking up on a couple extra pair of these before Sony discontinues them for something that costs more and doesn't work as well. For the price these are a steal!
Good sound, comfort, good forthe office, not working out.......2007-08-06
I got these from my wife when I hijacked her Shuffle. Of the four different headphones she had available, these are the most comfortable and best sounding. I like the fact that they are not earbuds, which I find uncomfortable and which hurt my ears if I use them for several hours. I use these in the office, where I want to hear what is going on around me, and occasionally on the train, where again, I don't want sound isolation. Frequently, I only put one phone in so I can still talk to people and interact.
For running, I agree with the other reviewers. They do not stay in place very well, but being able to hear the cars around you probably makes them safer than many of the headphones that go in the ear.
Good sound - but it didn't stay in my ear.......2007-05-16
While I like these headphones, they did not stay in my ear, and thus were not very useful for excercising, etc. The sound was good.
Buy these Headphones!!......if you feel like wasting your time and money........2006-09-04
THE WORST PAIR OF HEADPHONES EVER CREATED. So bad in fact that I was forced to stomp them to pieces after attempting to run with them for the FIRST time. Never have I used a product so completely useless in all of my life. This might sound like a bit of an overreaction but I assure you it is not. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT buy these headphones. I've owned many pairs of Sony headphones in the past and never before have I been driven to such random acts of violence only 35 minutes after opening the packaging. Bad, bad, bad and bad. Don't do it. Any other pair of headphones will suit you better. Please trust me.

Amazon.com Product Description
Isn't it time your home office, dorm, kitchen, or bedroom went high-def? Samsung's 23-inch LN-R238W LCD television lets you enjoy not only regular TV, but full HD images from any high- or enhanced-definition source. Its suite of state-of-the-art connections accommodate a wealth of associated equipment, such as a DTV set-top box, a progressive-scan DVD player, and even your PC. Samsung's Patterned Vertical Alignment (PVA) screen provides high brightness and amazingly rich contrast for lifelike images and realistic colors. A mere 3.5 inches thick without its detachable stand, the TV produces exciting, perfectly flat, images while occupying minimal space in your office, living room, bedroom, or kitchen.
Samsung's DNIe™
Samsung's revolutionary DNle™ (click for demo) technology offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail. |
 |
Motion Optimizer
Fast-moving images are optimized to produce more natural-looking motion, thus reducing video noise or blurring. |
 |
Contrast Enhancer
Brightness and contrast levels are enhanced for deeper, richer blacks with greater detail and more natural whites. |
 |
Color Optimizer
Colors are reproduced with a more lifelike realism, whites are more accurate, and skin tones are given a more natural hue. |
 |
Detail Enhancer
DNIe analyzes video signal elements to produce sharper detail, clearer image separation, and more natural edge transition. |
The set boasts a 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution. Its widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio matches the dimension of most movies and HDTV broadcasts, while its wide, 170-degree viewing angles (horizontal x vertical) ensures everyone in the room will enjoy a great view, even when you've mounted the unit on a wall. A built-in brightness sensor automatically adjusts the TV's luminance for the ambient brightness of a given room.
Onboard 10-bit processing produces 3.2 billion lifelike colors and aids in video signal processing for your analog sources. And with its lightning-quick 12 ms response time, astronomical 3,000:1 contrast ratio, impressive 500 cd/m2 brightness rating, and onboard 3D Y/C digital comb filter (which separates the color signals to minimize dot crawl and blurred edges), you'll see sharp, focused images regardless of their source.
LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life, space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster response times and higher contrast ratios.
The LN-R238W's DNIe (Samsung Digital Natural Image engine) offers a vision of digital perfection in natural, crystal-clear images that reveal even the most minute detail. The process involves 4 key enhancements: contrast and brightness (for deep, rich blacks and natural whites), motion (which optimizes fast-moving images to produce natural-looking motion, reducing video noise or blurring), color (for lifelike realism, accurate whites, and skin tones with natural hues), and detail (DNIe analyzes video signals to ensure sharp detail, clear image separation, and natural edge transitions).
Samsung's patented My Color Control technology lets you control specific colors without affecting the whole screen. Samsung provides 6-color control selections: white, red, pink, yellow, green, and blue. It's your picture--you decide how it looks. Samsung's PVA screen permits brighter whites than standard TFT LCDs, as well as deeper blacks and every shade in between.
The LN-R238W makes flexibility a top priority, giving you several preset picture and sound modes (and custom settings for each). The TV also permits color temperature adjustment for warm, cool, or neutral tones, along with 4 onscreen languages to choose from (English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese). Choose one of several preset sound modes (standard, music, movie, speech, and custom) for broadcast through the set's built-in speakers (10-watts-per-channel x 2).
Connections include 2 component-video inputs (480i/480p/720p/1080i), a direct-digital HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), a PC input (15-pin D-Sub with minijack analog audio), 2 composite-video inputs, 1 S-video input, 1 RF input, 5 attendant sets of stereo (left/right) RCA audio inputs, and 1 stereo RCA audio output. The set's Anynet (RS-232C) control option simplifies use with other Samsung audio/video components.
Other features include single-tuner picture-in-picture (view 1 TV channel and 1 input source simultaneously), a sleep timer, V-Chip parental control, closed captioning, and an auto volume leveler to minimize jarring differences in loudness between, say, TV programs and their commercials.
What's in the Box
TV, detachable stand (with screws), a remote control, remote batteries, an RF video cable, a user's manual, an Anynet AV manual, an AC power cord, a cover bottom, an Anynet cable, a cleaning cloth, and warranty information.

Happy with this as a TV and computer monitor.......2006-10-15
I've owned this for about 8 months now and find it to be working very well as a TV/DVD/Camcorder/PS2 player and also as a computer monitor. The color is very good and the contrast is great. I especially like the large number of inputs so that I can leave the cables attached. I am currently using one component input (Upconverted DVD player), two composite inputs (Camcorder and PS2), and the VGA input for the computer. This TV is a great value and I have no problems recommending it to other folks.
My one year old laptop computer didn't support the native resolution (1360 x whatever) until I updated the intel drivers. Lo and behold, the resolution I needed was there. It also supports other resolutions but not as well. My model is a LN-R238W (no A) and I don't know if that makes a difference.
Dont be fooled like I was........2006-07-08
This tv is not what it seems. I saw it at Costco for a low price, did some research on tv's, came here and saw some reviews so I bought it. Upon hooking it up to my 360 and checking all the connections (everything and anything you can think of I did it)I soon found out the picture was grotesque with bleeding color and ultra sharp angles, jagged actually and sometimes this kind of "ghost" color on some things. So I hooked up my Gamecube, same results but more bleeding. Then my dvd player...it looked like live streamed video via a dial up connection. I figured that it must be something wrong with the tv so I brought it back in exchange for a new one today and I it had the same blurry color bleeding fuzzy jaggedness as the last one.
_Bottom line_
Do NOT buy this tv. Do NOT be fooled by other reviews. You WILL regret it like I have.
_Note_
After reading the other review about not believing in other rave reviews and not believing him, I feel so stupid and angry that I wasted my time. Just wait till slim CRT Tvs are mass developed by Samsung. That is what you will want.
Excellent, but..........2006-07-07
I have been using my Samsung LCD TV for several months now. I am very pleased with the picture, even though I have not yet changed my cable service to HD. I continue to be amazed at how good regular TV images can be. I was watching a show when a commercial came on that depicted either clouds or an explosion at high-speed. I caught it out of the corner of my eye and my reaction was "WOW!" What must HD be like on this set? Eventually, I will find out.
The TV has a nice array of settings to play around with for your viewing pleasure -- but my "but..." from above is the lack of having a way of changing the aspect ratio directly from the remote. As it is, that setting is buried in the menu tree. A real pity, as regular cable has a variety of aspect ratios in use, and I am frequently changing that setting.
All in all, I am still happy with my Samsung. I would definately recommend this manufacturer.
Great all around!.......2006-05-23
I use this monitor mainly for work, but I do take it on the road for trade shows and show DVD's on it. I also bought an upconverter HDMI fed dvd player, dvd's look very crisp on this screen.
Highly reccomended! It's a TV that happens to be VERY useful as a monitor...I don't do any gaming though so I can't comment there. I can fit two spreadsheets side by side (or any application), but of course i'm always wishing for more space. Maybe the 26" is my next buy? Speakers aren't great, but I didn't but it for the speakers.
Everyone that see's it as my monitor in my office is jelous!

Why settle for less, when you can get a brand new original Panasonic or Samsung 42 inch plasma TV for Free! I got mine from this web site: awesomestufffree.com/plasma-tv
