Summary: Portable but with good sound quality
Review: "Studio Monitor Series Headphones incorporates state-of-the art engineering design to produce excellent sound quality and wearing comfort to accommodate high end consumer or professional applications." I think that the producer is right; add the portability and you get the best possible headphones to use with your laptop as you travel on business. You do not have to compromise the sound quality being constrained by the fact that you have no space in your bag for the typical good quality full size headphones. I have bought the set on the return policy but definitely will keep them. So will you.

Summary: Get the Sony MDR-V6 headphones if you want accurate sounds
Review: After owning these headphones for over 6 months I can tell you that they just don't compare at all to the Sony MDR-V6 model. The overall sound quality is muddy, flat, and lifeless. The bass tone these cans produce is more of an upper mid-bass rather than a smooth, tight, and deep bass. The mid-range sounds are muddy and offer very little ambient presence to the sound. Highs are more harsh sounding rather than clean and precise. If you're buying these mainly to listen to music I'd suggest you look elsewhere as these sound pretty bad. I currently use the Sony V6s (not the V600s) for listening to music and some studio work and the difference between them is quite dramatic. The build quality and comfort of the Sony MDR-V600 is about all that is good about them. But, if you want something that sounds accurate for studio monitoring than get the classic Sony MDR-V6 model (many studios and radio stations use the Sony MDR-V6 or the Sony MDR-7506 headphones for monitoring sound). They fold up just like the MDR-V600s and are just as comfortable. If sound quality is important to you then avoid the Sony MDR-V600 headphones like the plague. They're horrible.

Summary: Excellent blend of quality and price
Review: Although they come nowhere near the calibre of high-end Sennheiser headphones, the MDRv600s perform admirably for the amount of money they cost. The highs are crystal clear, the mids unmuddy, and the bass is pretty good (although I personally found it a bit underpowered, which is why these receive only four stars, and not five). Perhaps more importantly, these headphones are extraordinarily comfortable and fit snugly around your ears, making them ideal for home use and extended listening (unlike the v700s, which are designed to be used during live DJ performances, and therefore be worn mostly over only one ear). If you're an average home user looking for a great set of headphones to listen to your mp3 collection or your big, booming new DVDs with, these are the ones for you.

Summary: id give six stars if it let me!
Review: Best headphones available. i tested these at a guitar center against every headphone we could find (even those costing 3 times as much!) i was trading in a sony MDRV6 which sounded great but after extended wear, would begin to hurt my ear because of how it pressed them back. most headphones either press against the ear itself (as in most pro dj and studio monitors) or they cup excessivley and feel loose and slide on your head. what makes these rule is its sonys best magnet and responsive heaphones with a fit that goes behind the ear. your ear actually slips into this light headphone like a slipper. which prevents almost all exterior noise and places the headphones perfectly. reat bass and mids . just incredible! you just cant do better fo the money.

Summary: Good purchase
Review: Bought this item after lots of research on headphones. The sound quality is much better than more expensive Bose ($150) and Sennheiser ($150) models; the bass really sounds deep. Construction is good and the folding feature handy if you are going to pack these in a bag. The fit on my head is just snug enough around the ear to make a good seal and is comfortable after one hour's wear.
One plus I did not anticipate is that these headphones amplify the sound of my mp3 player quite a bit more than others so I can listen at a lower volume level yet still hear the music well.
Outside sound is muffled a decent amount with the music playing.
Overall, anyone will be happy with these, especially when you compare them with the more expensive Bose and Sennheiser offerings that don't sound as good. I would definitely recommend these headphones.

Summary: Useful Reference Work
Review: Headphones are highly personal devices, so don't be surprised to see wide variances of opinion. In fact, I have yet to discover an "all-purpose" pair. Imagine an equalizer board with 8-16 slider switches adjustable in any number of configurations. Boost the treble and upper mid-range while cutting back on the bass and you have the Panasonic 850's, which are perfect for concentrating on Ella's voice or Tony Williams' ride cymbal but not on Nelson Riddle's orchestral arrangements or Ray Brown's bass. The Sony MDR-V600's may be as close to a "universal," accurate set of headphones as you can get for under a hundred and fifty. Compared to my MDR-6's, which my son "borrowed," they're more comfortable and the sound is more "flat" (i.e. accurate, faithful, undoctored). If your tastes extend beyond contemporary pop and you're serious about sound "fidelity," beware of those "DJ" models, with the bass boost, brain-shaker and virtual-reality features. And as a previous reviewer has pointed out, this model is identical with the higher-priced "professional" phones Sony is listing as model 7506. Perhaps Sony plans to make the 700's the only available models (call it "cost-effective marketing), because there are currently some great deals on the MDR-V600's. My only "complaint" is the extreme degree to which the V600's seal off all outside sound, making me feel like I'm trapped in a cocoon (they're ideal for anti-social or solipsist personalities). These phones are a pleasure now and then, but I'm still happy with my Sennheiser PX-100's for 80% of my listening.

Summary: Worth the Price
Review: I am a freak about sound quality (I have perfect pitch) and these are the only headphones I have found that don't drive me crazy. The pitch range goes very high and the bass is present without being overwhelming.
