    The Good: The Sony MDR-AS100W Active Headphones feature a lightweight design that stays in place during activity. The style is understated and the extras are handy.

    The Bad: The Sony MDR-AS100W Active Headphones won't be comfortable for all users, and they don't fold down for compact storage. Sound quality suffers if you can't get a proper seal with the ear.

    The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a lightweight, headband-style headphone for the gym, the Sony MDR-AS100W Active Headphones fit the bill, but comfort could be an issue for some users.
