Product Description

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.

Amazon.com Product Description

The MDR-V150 closed supra-aural headphones provide top-end comfort and sound quality. Sony's closed type headphones allow only a limited amount of ambient noise into the ear canal, giving your attention fully to the music. The padded earcups fit comfortably, hour after hour. For those who like to use the headphones for single-sided monitoring, these MDR-V150s come with reversible earcups. The supra-aural design is engineered for excellent listening comfort. The wide headband distributes the headphone's weight evenly. The two meter cord (6.6 feet) is made of oxygen-free copper wiring and is double-sided.

Sony has installed several key features to these headphones to enhance their sound quality. The thirty millimeter drive units delivers a deep bass sound and a wide dynamic range (the frequency range extends down to 18 Hz.) Both the stereo mini-plug and the UniMatch phone plug are gold-plated to make sure sound is transported fully and accurately. The gold-plated treatment also helps resist corrosion and supports the headphones' high conductivity and low noise. Lightweight ferrite magnets allow for high power at a minimum size. Finally, the PET diaphragm works to deliver low distortion.

Excellent fit, excellent compatibility and excellent sound: these headphones fit the bill for a sound professional.

Does the job..........2007-06-13

These are much better than those tiny ear plugs because you feel your ears in a much more comfortable listening position. They are huge so it looks corny, and the plug is a bit too long when jogging. I still give it five stars because it does the job I want it to.

Good Headphones.......2007-06-10

I like these headphones, they are a big improvement over the one's that I had been using to listen to audio from computer, which were the little cheap one's that come with portable CD players. They are quite effective at blocking background noise, also. I also find them to be quite comfortable on my big head, so all in all I give them four stars, because they are an excellent value, but the sound quality just isn't up to par with the higher end models.

Decent build, mediocre sound.......2007-06-10

These headphones are reasonably comfortable, though if you wear eyeglasses you might find them pressing your glasses against the side of your head in an eventually painful way.

The sound quality is mediocre. Music seems too dead, lacking vibrance. Even Sony's basic $10 comes-with-the-walkman headphones sound better than these.

Overall, these are probably fine for background music whilst working, but if you want to really listen and pay attention to the music, try something else.

I bought this set of stereo phones to replace a set of 10 year old Aiwa phones that finally just fell apart. I use stereo phones to listen to music coming out of a stereo receiver (in other words, no Ipod, laptop, PC, game console, you get the idea). When I got these, I put my pristine vinyl copy The Beatles Revolver on my turntable and plugged them in. Really great sound, especially when linsteing to a music format that has no tape hiss. I was able to really crank the volume without any distortion. For the price they're terrific. The only problem that I have with them is that (for me) the ear cups are too SMALL. My old Aiwa phones enclosed my entire ear, these sit on top of the ear. Why did I give these a 5 star rating? Well, I knew the ear cups were smaller when I bought them. I didn't think the difference in size would be that big of a deal, but I found out otherwise. Either way, its not a fault of the product. Overall, the sound and the price are great!
