Sound quality clear and crispy. Comfortable ear covers. Head band tensile strength is low.because of it ear band grip is low, easily slips down.I think it should be bit stronger.

The sound quality is very good for a product that is not so expensive. The look and colour also is very good. It is on trend. I would only prefer to have the cups bigger and make it around ear cups.

Quality sound; reasonably price; Trendy look

Smaller Ear Cups

Wow, These headphones are fantastic. Sound is very clean and crisp. I use them for my laptop mostly, I listen to music, YouTube videos, etc.... They are not technically "Noise cancelling" but they do cancel out a good bit of background noise.

Clean sound and well worth the money.

Wanted something to use chilling in the cafes which would do my music justice and also shut out noise as it gets pretty loud when crowded. I find these very snug, the sound quality is fantastically rich and I've been told they look really cool.

These are good for the $70 i paid for them, I had originally set out to find a pair of AudiotTechnica's but none of the stores in my area had them. Sony, in my opinion, makes some of the best head phones for the entry level.

Flat cord helps cut down on tangling; The sound is fairly nice; lows; mids; and highs all sound fairly good; The feel fairly sturdy; Comfortable to wear and easy to adjust; They also look somewhat nice in a world populated with those ugly "beats

the cord could be a bit longer, and the while not uncomfortable the padding could be a bit thicker; Like most closedback head phones, your ears can get pretty sweaty wearing them; Even folded up they are still fairly bulky

Look up Sony's website, and all its portable or iPod-related earphones seem to be in-ear types. Nonetheless, its MDRV55 headphones do a decent job of being get-about on-ear models. At 225 grams, these are fairly heavy headphones . Yet, they didn't feel it.

Generally very good sound; Excellent value for money; Excellent comfort

Some vocal sibilance; No in-line iPod remote control; No pouch

Better Than You Would Expect. Got these For 10 Dollars, Sounds Absolutely Amazing ,VERY LOUD When Connected To A Headphone Amp NX1 Or Better ,Or A Good Source Like A Sansa Mp3 Player Or Whatever Better Youve Got. As I Said BASS IS THERE, HIGHS TOO, MIDS Are ok.

Great BASS Response,Pumping And Thumping,Highs Are Great,Mids Are Okay, Portable, Sounds Great Better Than Mdr XB600 (Rubbish) ; Can Get !! LOUD !

Creaky Build, Bit Fiddly ,But Thats Portability Design In Mind; Dont Hear Creaks When Listening 50% Vol; Cheap Materials Used For Earpads

Thanks largely to a certain brand of celebrity endorsed headphones, wearing proper headphones in the street is now socially acceptable. The Sony MDR-V55 offer themselves up as "DJ style" so, as Sony puts it, you can take your tracks to the street.

Flexible; comfortable; sound great

Leak sound; cable a little short

I have used this series of monitor headphones for about 10 years. Great sound, great comfort. this is my 4th pair in that time. Each pair has broken at the pivot joint. I would like to get more than 2/3 years out of them. THe sound& comfort is good enough to keep buying.
