Quick review

The good: Light, comfortable, easy to use, ZAPPIN a nice addition
The bad: Looks a little weird, controls could have been bigger
Verdict: The W202 looks like it is destined for failure, but in reality, it has been considerately designed and implemented, and the end result gives you a highly convenient MP3 player, perfect for when you don't want to be encumbered by wires, straps or clips

The main problem with a design like this is that Sony no doubt based it on Japanese size heads whereas people like me have a big head (literally that is!!!!).
Other types of these headsets, like the Motorola bluetooth headset (advert with David Beckham I think) showed promise but they ultimately just don't fit comfortably so have to stay with ear-bud on a string designs. Posted by Adrian, UK
