Product Description
Studio Monitor SeriesHeadphones 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. Oxygen-free copper cord assures maximum conductivity, minimum noise. It 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.
Amazon.com Product Description
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. What's in the Box

 Great quality, great sound, and amazing price. July 2, 2008
Other reviews complain that these are uncomfortable. For me, they fit very well on my ears. The two circular parts that go on the ears are designed to twist a little bit to fit to the shape of different listeners' heads.
These headphones are very well built and durable. One time I was vacuuming while wearing them, and because of the long cord (which I had neglected to tuck into my pocket), got sucked right into the bottom of the vacuum. The cord got sucked into that Hoover so fast that the force ripped the headphones clean off of my head in an instant. But after untangling them from the vacuum, the thick and sturdy cord was miraculously still in like new conditon with no shorts in it or anything!
Sure they're comfortable, affordable, and durable, but what about the sound? Well I find them to be great. Unlike other headphones like the cheap buds that came with the iPod, these give a wide range of sound at lower volumes. When I listen to these, my ears don't get all cloudy like they do from other headphones that are permanetely damaging my ears. Good sound at safer volumes.
And the price on these things--incredible for the quality.
Ipoder very happy with these phones! July 2, 2008
I read the reviews on this site and then went out and bought these to use with my ipod. I wanted something that covered my ears and blocked out some of the surrounding environmental noise. These do pretty well in that area. I found these headphones comfortable and the sound was very good for $20 dollar headphones. The cord wasn't to long as I had feared and seems very robust which is nice when listening to an ipod. I tend to step on the cord, yank it, drag it, silent karioke, jump rope, you know, it gets abused. Cord holds up well. These are a good replacement for ear buds if thats not your thing. Trust me, you could do much worse than these headphones for the price.
 They keep your ears warm June 16, 2008
I was actually under the impression that these were active noise cancelling headphones. Please note that they are not. I'm sure they would have cost a lot more if they were but one site (it may or may not have been Amazon) did claim that they are... That was a disappointment because I want to use them while mowing my yard.
All in all they are good headphones. The bass sounds fantastic and when used with my guitar amp, they sound incredible.
The reason for the not-so-perfect review is the heat. The ear pieces are comfortable, plush leather but they make your ears too stinkin' hot. It's summer time now and I can't stand to wear them any more than about 25 minutes -- otherwise it feels like they're contributing to heat stroke. For what it's worth, I usually use ear buds so maybe this is how it is supposed to be with all over-the-ears but nevertheless, it has me looking for noise cancelling ear buds now...
Sony Headphones June 13, 2008
Great product for the price! Great use of 20 bucks, no need to spend 100's unless you are very serious.
Good Headphones with EQ June 11, 2008
These headphones are an excellent price, and fit comfortably on me, i have a medium sized head,but i can understand how they might feel tight on larger heads. The sound is decent quality, but the bass makes the higher ranges sound muddy, bass reducing EQ setting are highly recommended. Overall a good product for the price.
