Summary: Cheap, durable, and high quality.
Review: But then, what else do you expect from Sony? I don't claim to be an audiophile, but I have nothing but love for these headphones after using them for perhaps a year now. I used to go through headphones every couple of months; something or other would break and I would have to go back and look for another pair. The MDR-V150 stopped that revolving door. The sound is excellent, and the headphones feel light on the head even after hours of use. The best feature here is the way the earphones plug into the headband; if you ever jerk on the cord too hard (like I always accidentally do when I put a foot on it while I stand up) the earphone pieces detach from the headband, rather than snapping the plastic bits like many other headphones in this price range will. You snap the earphones back into the headband and you're back in business. I use these headphones every day, and while I'm sure most true audiogeeks would be better suited by a pair of Seinnheisers or another high-end brand, this pair is perfect for me. Heck, I'm on my fourth different CD player since buying them; how's that for longevity? Highly recommended if you're in the market for headphones near the 20 dollar price point.

Summary: Perfect fit & Excellent Sound by Sony Electronics.
Review: Date: July 09, 2003 To: Customers who are in search of HeadPhones, These are the type of headphones(the style) that public
schools,or public libraries use when it comes to
listening to CD-Roms, or music. The Headphones are from
Sony, and they are of high quality, they also have a long
cord so you won't feel limited when connecting them to your
PC or Cassette, DVD Recorder/Radio(blaster).Some cords are
are so short that they just do not let you enjoy your
activity(s). These Headphones are low priced, so please, get them
because Excellent things at low prices are hard to find.
Now, i repeat again. They are of Excellent Quality and at low
price, not cheap price, but low price, okay?

Summary: Could Use a Replaceable Headband
Review: Durability/build -- I stepped on mine, so now I can't wear them on my head. However, I like the fact that the cord and electronics weren't built into said headband. It's just too bad that my clumsiness has rendered them unusable unless I hold them to my ears with both hands. The pads are not foam, so they won't deteriorate and fill your ears with yucky black dust. They were very soft and comfortable, and the headphones overall are lightweight. The cord could be longer; it's not coiled and doesn't stretch or retract. I've had these a while, so I don't remember whether they came with the adapter for stereo plugs or if I had to buy it. They fit as is in my iMac and TV just fine, though. Sound -- not bad. I've had my share of headphones over the years, and I use mine to listen to the internet radio on the computer, or occasionally to fill in for my ones I use to listen to TV and DVD. I like a bass that isn't muddy, is powerful yet clear. I like trebles to be clean. For the price, these don't do badly. The best set of headphones I ever had were some Aiwas in a similar price range that you can't find anymore. So, whether you like to listen to vocalists, like Clooney or Mathis (I do, too) or whether you dig the Motown sound with its driving Funk Brothers bass (I do, too), or you love the instrumental jazz like Cassandra and Nancy Wilson (I do, too), these will do a decent job for the money. Now, I'm off to get some new headphones.

Summary: Good headphones for the price
Review: I bought these headphones to use in my crowded office, and I'm very happy with them. They were the cheapest earmuff-style headphones I could find, but they do a much better job blocking outside noises than the average foam-covered "Walkman" headphones. They also sound pretty good to me, although I'm a casual music fan not an audiophile. I think they'd also be good for use in dorm rooms or anywhere else there's a lot of extraneous noise.

Summary: quality sound but not for long usage..
Review: I brought this to use at my work(with PC)..but after listening for 2 to 3 hours I had to takeoff the headphones..!!
They do not cover my ears completely instead they apply pressure on my ears and it pains.(removed 2 stars for this..) The sound quality is really good, great looks,
the cord is long.

Summary: The MDR-150 is decent for money
Review: I got these headphones because I wanted a studio style headphone without spending a bundle. The Pros to these: Long Cord. Which is a good idea for computers you won't feel like a dog on a short chain afraid to move your head. Reversible ear cup. I don't feel comfortable making it go completely flat but who needs it too? Good Sony sound quality. Allows for small heads. I have troubles with headphones because they either float next to my ear and barely touch or they don't go small enough so they keep sliding down because they are too long. Durable. The thicker cord helps a lot I have had these 2-3 years and no broken wires which is always a problem I have had in the past because of traveling. The sliding piece feels good and strong. As does the joints for the cups. THE CONS: COMFORT! They are not comfortable with glasses for very long. After about 30-45 min I have to take off my glasses or resituate them above the phones. Also they sit on the top of the head and it bothers my scalp. I have to alternate the positioning when listening to for long periods. If you wear glasses and have trouble with them with larger cup headphones it would be a very good idea to go somewhere where you can try them on before you buy them. Long cord. The long cord can be a little disadvantage if using a portable CD player with a remote and are moving around. I personally would recommend Sennheiser instead of these. If you look on the Internet you can get the 202's or the HD 457 ... Sennheiser has other low price one's but I have never used them. If I had to buy headphones again and was going to get sony I would try the MDR CD series first they feel like they would be more comfortable for long periods of time. I didn't get to listen to them though because there was something worng with the display sound system. But if comfort hasn't been a problem for you in similar headphones before or you don't wear headphones for long periods of time buy these Sony Phones. I was pleased with these I just wish they were more comfortable.

Summary: Great Headphones for anyone
Review: I have had these headphones for approximately 8 months now and I couldn't be happier. Over that period of a time I have had but one or two small issues. With that in mind I would like to state the conditions I used these headphones under. I spent the first 4 months after purchasing these headphones on a wooden tall-ship sailing down the pacific coast. I slept with them every night, (to drown out the noise that is quite common when sharing a sleeping area with 40 other people) they have been tossed in and out of my bunk carelessly (either by myself, or by the swell) and they have been stepped on, squished, crushed, and bashed from general everyday sail handling. With all this in consideration it seems a miracle they still work great. I still sleep with them every night (Old habits die hard I suppose) and now that I am home the long cord is key for me. There are two reasons I personally need a long cord. I like to move around when I sleep so a long cord is essential so that I don't strangle myself, or am limited to one side of the bed. The second reason is that I record music. Ok so I am not a big shot (small band, and minor personal stuff) but I really like to use these when recording. The long cord allows me to plug into my computer and move around to set up microphones, amps, etc. The bonus feature here is the Mono/Stereo switch on the cord. Stereo is complete sound, producing the full stereo effect. At this point I would like to comment on the sound quality. It is incredible; I didn't notice just how good it is until I switched to another pair of headphones. The quality difference was huge, these headphones have great sound quality, crisp, clear, and capable of blowing you away. Now back to the stereo/mono switch. The mono effect is great for recording. It allows you to remove a layer of sound. This is particularly convenient when you want to playback a recording with only your vocals, or that one guitar riff. Its also great for those hard to hear lyrics, eliminate one guitar and now you can hear them a lot easier. I believe it is now the time for my 2 very small problems. Although I find these headphones extremely comfortable (heck I sleep with them on) I do have some slight pains in my ears (cartilage pain) after sleeping with them on for 10 hours. This, of course, is expected considering the pressure I am applying onto my ears. It only happens about once a month, and only when I wear them for an extra long sleep. The second problem is that after 8 months and stretching the cord to its maximum I have managed to frazzle the wires. To clarify, the wires are not exposed nor has the plastic covering the wires cracked or cut, however I do have a loss of sound in my right ear when the cord is in the wrong position. This is a minor problem, as the cord needs to be in a certain position for it not to work, a slight alteration and the sound is restored. These are high quality earphones. The earpieces can be reversed so that 2 people can listen when recording, or if only one ear is needed when recording it can easily be done. The comfort level is great, the adjustability is easy, convenient and highly variable. I give these headphones a 5 of 5

Summary: Very good sound and confortable
Review: I just bought these for a 3.5 hour trip home and I used them the whole time. I have a rather large head and they were comfortable the whole time. People say they are too tight, which is probally true if you have glasses, but so would any headphone of this type, so buy some in ears or something. For $20, these sound amazing, with very good bass. I also like the long cord which is very heavy duty, so odds are it won't be the first thing to break on them.

Summary: Best and worst of these headphones.
Review: I like these headphones. I'll break them down best and worst.
Pros:
- Long cord which can be helpul at times.
- Durable/You can count on Sony.
- Great for sound. Good bass and treble.
- Great for traveling.
Cons:
- Long cord which can also be a pain at times.
- Somewhat uncomfortable.
- (not really a con but a comment) Why do they say studio monitor at the top of the headphones?
Pros - 4
Cons - 2
Pros are 4/6 = 67%
4 stars
So, they aren't excellent, but they are good. Worth getting them if you want hi-fi or they look good to you. Though, I think the HD-202 and the UR15C headphones better. If you're really picky about comfort, I get one of the two I just said.
P.S. COMFORT TIP-
Take off the earform things. They feel fine, but you may want to put something on them afterwards.

Summary: Nasty headphones, for a nasty price. (nasty=amazing)
Review: I love these little things. So light yet so durable, so gritty yet so pretty (opps, that was kinda lame wasnt it), and the most important of them all, so CHEAP and yet so GOOD!
These things are awesome, delivering grrreattt and authentic sound at all levels, they satisfy me in just about everyway. I started of with the crappy stock phones, lost em the first day i got em and didnt care a bit. So i bought these, and after owning them for 4 years, they're just startin to fall apart on me, but hell, i used em everyday for at least 4 hours, i dropped them more times than i can count, and they still sound just as good as the first day i got them.
If ur looking for a good cheap pair of headphones,and if u cant afford them, then i highly dought that u have the money to pay the power bill which is running the very computer that u are sitting in front of right now.
