Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones
Digital camera Review: A real whopper from Sony
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! Sony really outdid themselves on this one. These cans are really nice for listening to MP3's or music on a home stereo. But be aware that this is the lowest model of Sony MDR Studio 'phones, so there may be another model that would be better for you, depending on what you plan to use these for. Now I will go into details about these wonderful 'phones.
Construction: These are quite sturdily built, being made out of some sort of plasticized rubber compound. These have been crushed between two seats in a car and did not show any sign whatsoever that there was any damage or cracking of any kind.
Sound Quality: These pack a good punch bass-wise, and after about 40-50 hours listening time, the mids and highs come out too.
Design: They are quite comfortable until you've worn them for about 2-3 hours straight. They have this "leatherette" stuff for the earpads, which is quite comfortable, but the supra-aural design is not quite as comfy as a circum-aural design. The cord is a little long at 6 feet for portable player use, but is a good length for watching TV or listening to your home stereo. The closed-back design lets out little sound and lets in a relatively small amount of sound for a supra-aural headphone.
Overall, these headphones are good for casual music listening, TV watching, or even gaming. Here are some similar products to look into: Sennheiser HD201 Headphones, Sennheiser HD 202 Headphones, JVC HA-S150-BN Flats Lightweight Headphones - Black.
If you want more studio-quality type cans for some more money, check these out: Sennheiser HD-280 Professional Headphones, Audio Technica ATHM40FS Precision Studio Headphones, Sony MDR-V600 Studio Monitor Series Headphones with Circum-Aural Earcup Design.
I love these V-150's, but will be passing them on to my younger brother and will purchase some more expensive ones. Hopefully I will have the same great experience with whatever new cans I get as I had with these.
--Update--
After nine months of steady use, these cans up and broke! I don't know what happened, I had them in a backpack for close to a month. I pulled them out the other day, set them on my desk, and the next day I picked them up, and the right earpiece fell off! I have heard of other people having this problem, but what can you expect from $13 headphones? These were still really good while they lasted, and I still reccommend them if you're looking for the best budget cans in the universe.
Digital camera Review: A really good deal!

Got these today, delivered pretty quick - Thanks Amazon and UPS!
I used to buy cheap ear-buds at local stores but they didn't sound near as good as standard headphones of course. They usually fall apart after a bit of abuse and are easier to loose.
I choose this pair of Sony headphones after reading all the good reviews here. 15 bucks isn't much for a nice headset and I really like these. I don't think I have ever spent much more for a pair of headphones but these are the best sounding. Not "tinny" sounding at all. Of course they don't have much bass but low notes still sound nice. I don't like my music deafening-loud but did try them briefly at high volume and they still sound just as good.
I will use these mostly for listening on the pc when it is late enough that speakers will disturb others in the house.
It also came with an adapter for the larger jacks found on professional products, I have no use for this now but do have a couple boxes to keep various electrical adapters in and it will no doubt find a use at some point. Nice little bonus, and considering these are sold as "Studio" headphones it makes sense they are included.
Digital camera Review: A take from a multi device user
Summary: 3 Stars
I use many devices and I use many different types of headphones. As far as these go, they are decent for cleaning the outside sound out, are good forming to the head, but are a bit tight on the ears after say 1.5 hours wearing them and the max sound quality on them is only at a medium level. If you are set on getting a headset from sony, this is probably a decent buy, not the best of their line by far, but definitely worth the 15$.Digital camera Review: AMAZING!!!

These headphones are amazing. Great sound and bass. No volume or bass controls but that's the way I like it. I use this for my MP3 player and my computer. Great price and I love the compact size.Digital camera Review: AWESOME!!!!!!!!

These are the best headphones out for its value. They look good, sound good, and they are only $18. They are also very durable, I must've dropped them at least a hundred times and they work the same. Unlike other headphones that are ugly and that are the size of your head, these are decently good looking and are fairly small. The headphones are great for everything, you can take them outside or use them for you computer. One problem with the headphones is that it doesn't do a good job of keeping the sound inside the headphone especially at high volumes. If you don't have $150 and want some headphones that will last long and sound good, these are the ones to get.
