What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sony MDR-1AM2 Hi-Res Headphones with Heavyweight Bass and Beat Response Control - Black

Sound amazing, super light weight, so comfortable when they are on i don't even realize they are there, when i take them off, i feel incomplete.
Comfortable, lightweight and the best sound I've heard at this price. Just get them.
Good sounds quality. Perfect light weight. A little bit pressing my ear but it's fine, I guess because I have a big head.
Excellent product. Made from quality materials, these are incredibly light in weight.
They are also extremely light and fragile. They are made of plastic, which is a shame considering the price. It feels cheap.

Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7GM Headphones

Best headphones I've ever used; they don't fatigue my head with pressure over many hours of use, and they are light for their size.
They are lightweight and comfortable. These are wired headphones, and they sound great and are very well made. Great materials.
Large adjustment range to suit different sized heads. Good durability and flexibility.
The weight is perfect and the size is nice. I have large ears and these ear cuffs, even small, don't put pressure on them.
Comfort, weight, and build quality are very good, with decent passive sound isolation when active external sound abatement isn't necessary.

What customers say about "Features"

Sony MDR-1AM2 Hi-Res Headphones with Heavyweight Bass and Beat Response Control - Black

Cable length is perfect, went running the other day and had no issues with them moving or falling off.
They've got a large frequency range, and you can certainly tell; even via my iPhone, both low and high frequencies are clear as a bell, and there's a clarity.
The microphone works well, but catches on your clothes so I hold it by my face.
The sound that these things produce is clear and defined. I find that these have more of a natural sound.
My one gripe is the in-line cable, which doesn`t work with my mp3 player but is otherwise fine with my music centre and CD player.

Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7GM Headphones

Build quality is exceptional, comes supplied with a soft bag and 3 detachable cables!
They strike a perfect balance of bass/mid/treble frequencies and the detail retrieval is eerie.
They really do sound good - good bass, good mid-range, and good highs - so no complaint - they are quite neutral.
Bass is smooth, mid range and top end balanced beautifully. They are snug on on your head but not uncomfortable at all for long term wear.
After a couple days of light use the faux leather is already peeling and flaking off.
