I bought this product because I dislike those annoying in-ear bud type ones. The specs of this Sony item looked good and the price was certainly attractive. The headphone cups are comfortable for medium term listening and the sound generated is quite good.

I bought this headphone for my 95 year old deaf neighbor to use when he asks me to record a program for him and then watches it at maximum volume, enough to disturb my neighbors below. I've tested it but he hasn't used it yet.

For the money, you can't really go wrong. This is the 2nd pair i've had. Just keep them away from kids though, as they don't react to well to kids yanking on the leads, as i found out.

Sound is reasonable on these, without being outstanding, but then you should expect little else at this price point. The lead is very long, and is difficult to manage, but overall, not bad for the price.

Even for a cheap price of less than £12, these are not good headphones from Sony. Disappointing aspects are: - fuzzy woofled bass; - hissy treble; - very uncomfortable on the ear cartilege, after only short periods of use. Cheap, but not the usual Sony quality.

At $35 you are wasting your money on these guys. The low end is quite pronounced, but the high end response is crippled by anything with bass in the program material.

Comfortable for long periods of wear; I've had this pair for 5 years and they still work just as they did when I bought them; Nice thick cord

The claim to go up to 22khz is valid only if you are playing a sine wave; They is a significant dip in response between 7khz and 8khz; Anything with a dose of sub-low mid in the program and the hi end is DRASTICALLY cut; These guys get super blurry in the top end even at low volume

Only buy these if the following are your guidelines: 1. You don't really care much about sound quality. -- The sound you get from these headphones, while better than a good amount of closed headphones for $20, is still mediocre.

I bought this pair of Sony MDR-V150 Stereo Headphones for office use to replace my ear plug style Sony earphones. I bought it for RM70 (US$21.50) after some recommendations from the Sony salesperson. My main requirement for a headphone is that the cord must be at least 1.5 meter in …
