Product Description
Sony offers the MDR-W24V vertical, in-the-ear headphones. Vertical in-the-ear design reduces size and weight to the bare minimum to be comfortable hour after hour. Cord-Mounted Volume Control is always handy. No more groping for the volume on your portable stereo. Wide Headband allows for broader weight distribution, greater comfort. 13.5 MM Diameter Driver is small enough to fit inside your ear. Neodymium Magnet assures maximum energy in minimum size. Neodymium is comparably more powerful than conventional Samarium Cobalt or Aluminum magnets. Sony Acoustic Twin Turbo Circuit allows for high efficiency, gets high sonic output from your portable stereo and extends bass down to 18 Hz. Nickel-Plated Mini-Plug resists corrosion for high conductivity, low noise.
Amazon.com Product Description
The MDR-W24V headphones fit inside the ear for jostle-free listening. Created for active listeners, these headphones are better held in place with the wide, over-the-head headband. They are extremely lightweight and will provide hours of comfortable listening. These headphones feature an in-line volume control. Situated on the cord, this volume control gives you easy access to the most essential of sound adjustments. Sony uses 13.5 mm driver units in these headphones. While lightweight and small enough to fit inside the ear, they also deliver a good bass sound and wide frequency range (down to 18 Hz.) Neodymium magnets give the headphones maximum energy at a minimal size and weight. Sony's Acoustic Twin Turbo Circuitry will deliver powerful bass sound for high efficiency, giving you consistently good sound in an extremely lightweight pair of headphones. The open-air design allows for ambient noise to enter the ear, a safe feature for exercisers as you will hear car horns, passing bikers and dog barks. The cord is one meter long (3.3 feet) and the nickel-plated mini-plug offers crisp sound delivery. If you are looking for a quality-sounding, lightweight and stable pair of headphones, with the added ease of an in-line volume control, then these MDR-W24V headphones should fit the bill.

 Great, but not sturdy November 30, 2008
These are the only headphones that I have found that really work for me when I'm running. The only problem that I've encountered (and I've gone through 3 of these in the past 6 months) is that they're not built too sturdy. I had Sony's previous version of these in-ear headphones and didn't have a problem with them, until I accidentally caught them on a pull-up bar -- they lasted me about 5 years. With the new MDR-W24V, I've only had them on while running and the wires going to the ear buds are already semi-disconnected from wear.
The bottom line: these are great sounding headphones that will stay in your ear, but unless you're willing to be very gentle with them, either find another set or plan to buy a couple of replacements.
 Good and Cheap Work-out Earphones September 18, 2008
I work out 4 times a week, and listen to music during every workout. Earbuds and similar over-the-ear phones don't get it, I'm too active and spend all my time adjusting the darn things. [When you're listening to Car Bomb during a sprint, you just can't stop to push the damned earphones back in, now can you?!]
I've worn out a few of the Sony MDR-A35G S2 Sports Headphones with Sweat Guard Mechanism, which really work well for me, but wanted to try a similar set of phones that MIGHT not break at the temples so easily [I go through those about once or twice a year]. So I got the Sony MDR-W24V Verticals, and they are working fine. Have had them for a couple of months, the sound is good, and the in-line volume control is GREAT. Saves me having to pull out the iPod to adjust volume. I will definitely get these again when they wear out, as they inevitably will.
Value for the cost July 27, 2008
I've found this item hard to find in stores and when I did it was more expensive. I use my headphones at work so I'm always pulling on the cord. I found this item to be a good quality item for it's price range. The sound is good and clear. It keeps out allot of outside noise. I've been using these headphones for years now and recommend them especially if you tend to be rough with them and don't want to spend allot of money.
Great workout headphones June 29, 2008
I have been using these for a few months now after searching for a good set of non ear bud headphones for working out and running. Its been annoying to me to have my ear buds fall out while exercising and having to crank the sound up as they dont fit snuggly enough to get full range. These although cheap are high quality earphones for the price that stay in my ears. Its only been a couple months so time will tell but for now, I have stocked up b/c good headphones that are cheap and wont fall our are so hard to find.
 sony headphones June 8, 2008
The headphones were really comfortable but they broke in like a week...the wires are to thin and break easily.
