Sony MDR201LP Traditional Light Style Headphones (Black)

Summary: About to order my third pair
Review: I'm currently on my second pair of MDR-201 headphones and will be ordering another pair soon. For the low price that these go for, you get a sturdy set of headphones that are comfortable and sound good. I find they last 2+ years with heavy office use. I've tried other budget headphones from other companies (Yamaha, Aiwa) but in most cases they fell apart almost immediately. Also, for those of you out there who've been blessed with a humongous noggin like I have, these are the headphones for you - they fit even my 7 5/8 size head comfortably. The 1-sided cord is also great for avoiding tangles when using the phone. They're well-designed and a great value.

Summary: TURN YOUR PORTABLE INTO A HI-FI
Review: I've gone through about half-a-dozen pair of these same 'phones for the last 4 years; I wouldn't think of using any other set while on the move! They're the surest way to wring every last little drop of fidelity from any walkabout stereo, pricey or cheap. I've tried it on an inexpensive Awai, and one of Panasonic's expensive "Shock-Wave" cassette players. These 'phones make either sound terrific.

Summary: Simply a great value, you can't go wrong.
Review: In this price range you cannot go wrong with these. While they may not provide picky audiophiles with super-high standards looking for supreme sonics with the total sound they're looking for, these are excellent for casual listening at your computer, gaming while everyone else is asleep, or listening to your MP3 player on the treadmill. They're great for travel too. Because of the extremely low price, you won't be afraid of damage or loss during travel and activities. The way they sit on your ears allows your ears to still breath and if you want to hear outside sounds you can. The cord is just a tad short, so I give it 4 stars.

Summary: they do the job
Review: My old standard Sony headphones broke while I was on a road trip, and I came across these. They were cheap enough that I didn't have to worry about making too big of a dent in my money. However, I don't think the sound quality is all that great, and wouldn't recommend them to serious listeners.
