0ur opinion: :Studio Monitor Series Headphones incorporate high-end materials and advanced engineering; critically clean, exceptionally clear sound for professional and high fidelity applications. Reversible earcups enable single-sided monitoring flexibility. 30 mm diameter drive units are larger than many headphones for deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range; bass response extends down to a low 18 Hz. 500 mW power handling stands up to day-in, day-out use at high output levels. Ferrite magnets allow for high energy and compact size producing ample sound output - 98 dB/mW sensitivity. 0xygen-free copper cord assures maximum conductivity, minimum noise. lt conducts electricity better than conventional copper. Supra-aural design rests lightly on the ear and creates a controlled environment for better sound. Driver is positioned the correct distance from the ear canal. Wide, molded headband distributes the headphone's weight over a wide area; reduced pressure means comfortable listening for hours on end.
:The MDR-V150 closed supra-aural headphones provide top-end comfort and sound quality. Sony's closed type headphones allow only a limited amount of ambient noise into the ear canal, giving your attention fully to the music. The padded earcups fit comfortably, hour after hour. For those who like to use the headphones for single-sided monitoring, these MDR-V150s come with reversible earcups. The supra-aural design is engineered for excellent listening comfort. The wide headband distributes the headphone's weight evenly. The two meter cord (6.6 feet) is made of oxygen-free copper wiring and is double-sided.
Sony has installed several key features to these headphones to enhance their sound quality. The thirty millimeter drive units delivers a deep bass sound and a wide dynamic range (the frequency range extends down to 18 Hz.) Both the stereo mini-plug and the UniMatch phone plug are gold-plated to make sure sound is transported fully and accurately. The gold-plated treatment also helps resist corrosion and supports the headphones' high conductivity and low noise. Lightweight ferrite magnets allow for high power at a minimum size. Finally, the PET diaphragm works to deliver low distortion.
Excellent fit, excellent compatibility and excellent sound: these headphones fit the bill for a sound professional.

* Excellent product!!!! ...
I have only had these for a few weeks & I think they are great!!
They sound really good. I've used them for my portable DVD player & I haven't had any problems with them. If you want a good pair of headphones for a really good price then I suggest you purchase these. They fit snug to your head & really keep out the back ground noise. The stereo sound is great.

Awesome Headphones!!!!
I've used a lot of different headphones in my days. I always go back to the Sony MDR-V150. They are the best sounding consumer headphones on the market. They're cheap and they have amazing bass and treble response. I've used ear buds that cost $15-20 and ones that cost $160 and the MDR-V150 is still better than all of them. I would buy these headphones over anything else. Plus ear buds can easily damage your hearing in ways that these cannot. Be warned though you need to be careful with them. I've had a few pairs break where the speaker attaches to the headband.

* Very good sound despite the low price! Max 'bang per buck'! ...
As a longtime audiophile and musician, i've always had high standards for headphones, speakers, etc. A quality headphone should present the music (from a quality source, of course) in a neutral, uncolored, yet detailed way, with good overall tonal balance, 'air', and timbral accuracy, and feel comfortable. Bass should be present, but not enhanced or overpowering. I am happy to say that these 'cans' (slang for 'headphones') deliver when it comes to all of the aforementioned characteristics. Yes, they do NOT sound like a pair of electrostatic 'Stax' high end 'cans', or a pair of Sennheiser HD-595's, BUT they sound like they cost a lot more than the ridiculously low asking price here on Amazon! Hence, they are a GREAT VALUE in quality sound, to say the least. Like most speakers and 'cans', they sound noticeably better after 'breaking them in' a few hours. After plugging them in for the first time, put your CD or MP3 player on 'repeat', turn up the volume fairly loud, and let them 'break in' for a few hours. Your ears will thank you!

very much satisfied.
I've had this for about two-three months and so far it's been giving me no grief. I don't hear a lot of hip-hop music so I can't testify about the bass requirement for "loud, pounding" songs; but compared to the earphones I've had, this one had the clearest, cleanest sound. Plus the headphones are adjustable. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

* Ouch! ...
These Sony headphones have very good sound but are a pain on the ears. As others have stated after 20 minutes or so one wants to visit a clinic for the pain. Look elsewhere for better comfort.
