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

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.

 They don't sound good and they don't feel good. Basically just bad. August 16, 2008
I'm something of a music freak on a very tight budget. This, in combination with the fact that I was in a hurry to get a new pair and didn't do my homework, is why I shelled out 28 bucks for these V150's.
What can I say? They stink. Since these are on-ear instead of in ear, comfort is going to be less than the circumnaural type, but these are especially bad, with an extremely tight fit that renders them painful after about 10 minutes, especially if you wear glasses. Even worse than this is the shamefully poor sound quality. I don't mean the obvious "they don't sound as good as $200 phones", I mean "they're really, really bad even for the $20 range." Undefined bass and incredibly muddy-sounding mediums and highs are what we're talking about here. I was literally stunned when I first tried them out. I've had dollar-store phones with better clarity. The biggest waste of my money so far this year. I'm still kicking myself. Please, please don't buy these headphones. If you truly don't care about quality, go get a pair at your local dollar store, they certainly can't sound worse. But if you want some cheap headphones with good quality, go for something hugely better in the same price range, like the Sennheiser HD201's, or heck, even the somewhat mediocre Sony MDR -XD100's.
 Simply OK... August 6, 2008
I've had these cheap SONY cans for about three years now and the earpiece has finally worn off. Hence I was in the market for a new pair of everyday cans.
The SONY studio monitors were my go-to headphones for general use (watching movies/listening to music on my laptop).
Then I came across a pair of Sennheiser HD 202's on sale (Musician's Friend, 19.99!) and said why not. Sennheiser has an amazing rep and I've always wanted a pair.
MY GOD are the Sennheiser HD 202's better than the SONY. First off they completely surround my ears, where the SONY's cups are so small that they just basically sit on top of my ears, and would actually become PAINFUL after about an hour. And the sound quality and Bass of the Sennheiser HD 202's I feel are superior.
The Sennheiser HD 202's are WAY more comfortable. Get them, you will not be disappointed!

Headphones are way too small for the shape. They were going for a cheap knock off of dj headphones and failed.
 Sweet! August 5, 2008

I just bought these headphones yesterday for a 7 hour car ride. It says no noise canceling, but I think it has it anyway. I couldn't hear anything around me, not my sister's dvd player, or the radio at full volume. I had these at about half volume. I am even using them right now. I have an unusually clacky keyboard, and can't hear it at all with these on. The almost around ear design really does work, in that I can hear almost no background noise compared with my old iPod earbuds. I threw those out after about 10 minutes using these. My dad has the bose on-ear headphones, and I used those on the drive out. Those don't even match up to the sound quality these sony headphones have. Plus, these have a much larger volume range. I would definitely recommend these to anyone.
Best headphones! July 30, 2008
I have bought many headphones over the years for the kids, and so far, these are the absolute best. The kids don't complain about them which is a big plus for me!
