Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones with Reversible Earcups
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. 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.
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

Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones with Reversible Earcups Reviews
They have fairly good sound, and comfortable earcups. I have purchased several of these in the past, and have never had a problem with them. I especially like how they come with a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter for uses ranging from an actual studio, to a mp3 device. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a higher quality, cheap pair of headphones.
I bought these on a lark after absolutely destroying my old Dynex pair (caught my foot on the cord as I jumped out of a bus and just ripped them apart). However, the cord is a little thick and bulky, thus detracting from the portability of the headphones. I bought these for about 25 dollars, and they are very nice.
Lovely clear sound, though you do have to turn the volume up quite a bit to get the full effect. I just went to my local big box electronic store and bought the pair of headphones that looked most similar to my Dynexs, and let me tell you I am impressed. No more headphone slippage.
Now, I have a small head and small ears, so the tightness that bothers other users is actually a plus for me. I've found treble to be represented fairly well, with base coming in just short of it.
I don't listen to too much base-heavy music, so this does not concern me. All in all, an excellent pair of headphones for the price.
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. They sound really good. I have only had these for a few weeks & I think they are great. The stereo sound is great. I've used them for my portable DVD player & I haven't had any problems with them.
They are the best sounding consumer headphones on the market. 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've used a lot of different headphones in my days. I always go back to the Sony MDR-V150.
I would buy these headphones over anything else. Plus ear buds can easily damage your hearing in ways that these cannot. I've had a few pairs break where the speaker attaches to the headband. Be warned though you need to be careful with them.
They're cheap and they have amazing bass and treble response.
Hence, they are a GREAT VALUE in quality sound, to say the least. I am happy to say that these 'cans' (slang for 'headphones') deliver when it comes to all of the aforementioned characteristics. Like most speakers and 'cans', they sound noticeably better after 'breaking them in' a few hours.
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. As a longtime audiophile and musician, i've always had high standards for headphones, speakers, etc. Your ears will thank you.
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. 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.
