Summary: Disappointing Sony
Review: After looking at Sony headphones, I thought that the MDR V300's would be a good update for a twelve year old pair of MDR V2's.
Boy, was that a wrong assessment.The main reason I had thought the V2's needed replacement was that the two ear pads have almost completely lost their effectiveness as padding. But I think a little discomfort might be better than the sound that comes from the V300's. For starters, there is way too much bass, and it so overrides any treble sound as to make most music dull and muddy. I guess it might be ok if you play your music loud and don't care for much balance, but compared to my old 'phones, which have a livelier sound, a lot of the details and higher frequencies are just lost. It's like having lost a whole level of hearing. (Mine's pretty good). The only saving grace about them is they are lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended periods. But ..... Don't know if I'll go back to Sony after this experience. Too bad.

Summary: Sony MDR-V300 Headphones - Another outstanding Sony product!
Review: As I was finding myself getting ready for a long couple of weeks of temporary duty in Guatemala and in need of a good set of headphones for a portable DVD player to watch movies while sitting in a tent, I went to the trusted brand name of Sony. The Sony MDR-V300 Traditional Collapsible DJ Style Headphones fulfilled this requirement in the usual wonderful manner that Sony products so often do. As I lay in the tent watching movies with these outstanding headphones on, the audio tracks on the DVD's were played wonderfully, enhancing the movie watching experience to perfection, giving a theater style performance.. While these headphones do not drown out ambient noises completely as they're not advertised to do so, they do keep a majority of the ambient noises to a minimum making the experience that much better. For price and quality, one can hardly do better than to make the decision to purchase these outstanding headphones and I highly recommend them to any and all who find themselves in need of a good pair of headphones. I expect to get several years of good use out of these headphones and have high confidence in the quality and high standard of performance in this, another outstanding Sony product! {ssintrepid}

Summary: Bad comfort + bad sound = bad headphones
Review: For just $20 more I could have gotten the real deal from Sennheiser. The Sony MDR-V300 are without a doubt the worst headphones I've ever bought, stay away!

Summary: Good Bass for Low Price
Review: I am happy with these headphones, however Sony could have made major improvements. They have good to great sound for their relatively low price, but do not have a great build. Pros: -Good bass -Acceptable treble -Price -Reversible earcup design -Long cable /w/ adapter Cons: -Flimsy plastic -Small earpads -Bass craps out at certain frequencies -Not great size for travelling

Summary: Great quality for a budget
Review: I bought these headphones for audiophile listening to get better quality than a speaker system. These headphones work great for basic listening where details are wanted but not necessarily needed. The long cable allows for direct access to the back of the computer with needing an extension which would lower sound quality. The treble is very distinct and powerful, but the bass seems drowned out a bit and seems to be blurred (in an audio sense). The bad part of these headphones really comes down to the way they were made. The parts that hold the headphones together are just plastic. The swivel feature is the headphones worst fault. The swivel feature makes it so the headphones are held on by .25in of plastic which is easily snapped. Also, these headphones are extremely comfortable for short-term use. I do not recommend these headphones because since they do not cover the entire ear, they put pressure on the ears causing pain when listening to for a long period of time.
Pros:
High Quality in Treble and Midtones
Long Cable
Comfortable for Short Use
Cons:
Easily broken
Low Bass
Poor Construction
Useless Swivel Feature

Summary: Great sound, but not really collapsible.
Review: I bought this set of headphones after my cat ate my old ones. They are very comfortable, and the sound is great. Very clear and doesn't get distorted at high volume. I use them primarily for video games and mp3s on my laptop. The downside however is that although advertised as foldable, I wouldn't really quailify them as such. I think that they were designed without being collapsible in mind, and then some exec said wait, these sorta fold up, advertise that on the package as a feature. Secondly, they have a long wire (which is great) however it doesn't wind up around the phones very well when they are "folded" and comes loose all the time in my bag. If I didn't have to take them around with me however, then I would give them 5 stars.

Summary: Foldable?
Review: I don't know how in the world Sony gets away with describing these as "foldable" - I bought them for this reason, but THEY DON'T FOLD! You're better off going with the cheaper sony studio style headphones for about $20 - I would have never bought these if my cheaper ones didn't break in my backpack, thus the allure of "foldable" headphones. So much for that.

Summary: Unnatural over-emphasis of bass frequencies
Review: I first wrote a review on this model about a year ago. I have since upgraded to MDR-V600 and Sennheiser 580. All I can add right now is that Sony deliberately enhanced the bass response on this model, contributing to an overall muddling of sound quality. I guess Sony had a different definition of the word "studio monitor" when they designed this model. If you like heavy, muddled, boomy bass response, this set is perfect. However, if you ever like listening to something outside the rock/rap genre, get something else. And this goes for the lower studio monitor models from Sony. Skip these "studio monitors" at this level, go for something like the 600, which will give you much much cleaner sound.
