Product Reviews for Sony Studio Monitor Series MDRV150 Headphone

By iGAT from Undisclosed on 11/24/2010

I think for only $20 these are excellent headphones. I've had them for about two years now and they still work perfectly. They sound perfectly fine (remember you are paying $20 so don't expect top of the line quality here). The cord is very durable. The headphones are plastic, but if you don't drop a big rock on them I'm sure you'll be fine. The only problem I have with the headphones is the fact that after leaving them on for a while they can get very uncomfortable. They can either begin to hurt, make you very warm, or just suffocate your ear. They don't really go around the ear that well, but they are more than adequate for casual audio playback.

I bought these headphones in 2007 and they are still holding up well to this day. As long as you take care of them and don't accidentally step on them or bend the headband too far or too often, these headphones can last a really long time.

I've been comparing these headphones to a variety of other on ear/over ear headphones I own (Sennheiser PX100, HD202 & JVC Flats) and I must say these are still my favs. PX100's - too much bass, not enough treble. HD202 - great sound but very uncomfortable for extended periods. JVC Flats - decent sound but not enough bass and a little too much treble for my taste. The MDR V150s seem to do everything I want respectably well (nice bass but overall balanced sound, very comfortable and durable). Granted, I did tweak the EQ settings on my Sony Walkman to compensate for weak treble but now they sound great and I find myself reaching for them more often than not while relaxing at home. Overall, I would grade them a B but the price point pushes them to an A.

For $20 you cant go wrong. i go these just so i had some headphones until i got something better but they amazed me from the get go. very comfortable, lightweight, and they sound pretty good. they hardly cancel out noise but they arent made for that. however, mine broke cuz the cord is sooo long and fat and i kept stuffing it in my pocket so it woodnt b in my way. :/ so i dont hav them anymore but while they lasted they were fantastic!

These headphones are true performers. I purchased these a couple of weeks back to replace my older, in-ear headphones, and I have not been disappointed with the quality. The bass is great, the sound is excellent, and I love the fact that it came with a different jack for different styles of listening/recording.
