Studio Monitor Series Headphones incorporate high-end materials and advanced engineering; critically clean, exceptionally clear sound for professional and high fidelity applications. Reversible earcups enable single-sided monitoring flexibility. 30 mm diameter drive units are larger than many headphones for deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range; bass response extends down to a low 18 Hz. 500 mW power handling stands up to day-in, day-out use at high output levels. Ferrite magnets allow for high energy and compact size producing ample sound output - 98 dB/mW sensitivity. Oxygen-free copper cord assures maximum conductivity, minimum noise. It conducts electricity better than conventional copper. Supra-aural design rests lightly on the ear and creates a controlled environment for better sound. Driver is positioned the correct distance from the ear canal. Wide, molded headband distributes the headphone's weight over a wide area; reduced pressure means comfortable listening for hours on end.

User Reviews: Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones with Reversible Earcups

Pros: Decent sound considering the price
Cons: Uncomfortable headband, super long cable
Cons: Uncomfortable headband, super long cable
I bought these headphones because I needed a cheap pair of supra-aurals to listen to on the bus (I have stretched ears and can't fit my over-ear AKGs over my earlobes with my plugs in. . .not that I would really want to bring them on a bus anyway). In short, these headphones are okay. The sound could be better, obviously, and the plastic headband gets extremely uncomfortable (painful) after as little as 30 minutes, but for $30, it's hard to complain. Another downside is the cable. It's very, very long. So long that when I used the headphones with my iPhone in my pocket, I had to do a loop thing with my belt loop, because it looked pretty silly hanging all the way down to my shin. There isn't that much clarity in the sound, but it was still fairly balanced. Nothing to write home about. These served me well for a couple of months before my girlfriend accidentally stepped on them (snap!). I just went to a Zeller's and replaced them with a pair of similar headphones, the Sony MDR-ZX100. These new ones are actually a bit better, and can be found for the same price. There is more low-end, they look a bit nicer (especially in white), the cable isn't super long, but the headband still hurts after a while. I guess you get what you pay for! Honestly, if you need a cheap (under $50) pair of not-earbuds, either the MDR-V150s or the MDR-ZX100s should get the job done, though I would have to recommend the latter.

Pros: Bass & price.
Cons: Long wire
Cons: Long wire
These are pretty decent inexpensive headphones. They have some pretty alright bass, but not too much to overpower the treble or clearness. The design seem pretty simple and they are comfortable enough to listen for a long time. It may get uncomfortable after a few hours. My sisters have broken theirs over and over again, but I still have mine in good condition.
Overall, these are great for an inexpensive headphone for every day use.

Pros: not bulky, so you don't feel awkward in public
Cons: cheap build
Cons: cheap build
Modified these and they improved nicely, but they aren't very comfortable, and they decay badly after a couple of years.
The Mod is here on Head-Fi, its simple and easy.
