Sony MDR-CD580 Traditional Dynamic CD Series Headphones (Silver)

Summary: Great Sound!
Review: For the price, these can't be beat! I anticipated good sound coming out of our regular stereo system, but the fact that these give great sound from an ordinary portable CD player is a plus. Couldn't be happier!

Review: I have been using poor headphones for awhile, so I decided to go out and buy a half-decent pair of cans. For the $.. range, the Sony's are very nice. They have a good padding design in the phones that keeps them extremely comfortable. Sound quality is soooooo nice compared to my old P.O.S. phones... I tried out some Sennheiser HD500's along with another Sony pair and these and comfort wise and sounds wise these are just great. Also, they do get very loud compared with the HD500's who didn't get even 75% of the volume of these phones. I would definitely recommend them to anyone with a semi-budget who wants a comfortable pair of phones.

Summary: got what I wanted
Review: I was looking to replace an old pair of Koss(yard sale purchase years ago)with more comfort and maybe better sound.After reading 10 or more reviews I chose the Sony. Very comfortable.No clicks,hum,or buzz.The sound is good and picks up things on the cd's I had not heard on my speakers.I am glad I did not pay listed retail($99.99).I think these are a value at the Amazon price.I received excellent service through J&R electronics.I did not go 5 stars because I had no other brands of equal quality or price to listen to and compare.

Summary: Great phones
Review: So far these phones have been great! Very comfortable, and the cloth part is removeable and (hand)washable. The 11' cord is a plus, and it picks up details normally lost with my speakers. On the other hand it also picks up static from cheap cd players and sound cards. One of the few issues I have is a lack of mass in the music. Sometimes it seems kinda hollow. Also, with certain songs it seems to tend towards oversaturation, but once again, it could be quality issues with the rest of my equipment. Overall, an excellent choice, especially if you go with one of the zShops.

Summary: Great Sound, Extremely Comfortable
Review: These are awesome headphones that can easily handle all the output of any portable device. There is a fair amount of sound deadening on these headphones for i can barely makeout what people say when the volume is off, but when the using at high volume sounds and lyrics are audible across my small dormroom. These are easily the most comfortable over ear headphones i've ever tried. They play smoothly throughout the entire frequency range playing anything i listen to such hip-hop, pop, rock, and classical. These are full-size over-ear headphones but effectively do what they are intended to do. They also seem to be holding up well but i've only had them for a month in which they've been used daily.

Summary: Great Quality and Durability
Review: These Headphones are great. I bought these about 4 or 5 years ago for like 150$. Last night I has to repair them, a screw holding the left earmuff to the headband came apart and had to fix it. Thats the only thing to ever go wrong with them. These are family headphones, used everysingle day. Used for watching dvd's on the hometheater system late a night, blasting music on the computer while my parents sit next to me watching the news; these puppies are great. I have never heard super good headphons like 650$ koss ones, but these are great. the sound is excleent, way better than any included computer sound system.

Summary: Two strikes, you're out!
Review: Unit arrived with a bad plug/jack on the headphone. It would play left or right channel, but not both at the same time. Returned for replacement. Replacement unit had the exact same problem. Sent it back for full credit. I'll try another model next.

Not sure if it is a coincidence or an enginering/manufacturing problem at Sony.

Summary: Very Pleased
Review: Very pleased with these phones. ... so these were a very nice step up from what I had. I compared these to the Sennheiser HD500s and I liked these a lot better for a number of reasons. Comfort-wise these are fantastic! Sound wise these are nice, LOUD and great sound from lows to highs. ... these are high quality phones for the price.
