Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones
Digital camera Review: About to order my fourth pair!
Summary: 4 Stars
These are the best headphones for the price. The sound quality is excellent. They can be a little snug which can lead to snapping the plastic of the headband (your new best friend is duct tape) trying to create a little breathing room. But since these are a bit more fitted, they are not going to fall off, slide down or remove themselves from your head with even the most vigorous head-banging. I have a small head so I can wear them for several hours without a break comfortably.
I've gone through several pairs because I continually roll over the extra-long cord with my office chair which eventually shorts out the signal. This time, I accidentally bent the connector to that it no longer seats properly in my computer audio port causing it to lose sound quality. That said, the wear and tear on these headphones is entirely my fault. I've been using these headphones exclusively since 2000.
Highly recommended!
Digital camera Review: Adequate
Summary: 3 Stars
I have had a pair of these headphones for a few years now. They are adequate in every respect for daily use with portable electronic devices (as reflected by the price); they are not exceptional in any way.
They have trouble reproducing the lower end of the spectrum; your bass will generally lack omph. Mine (probably through extensive use) sound neither crisp nor resonant, and there is little depth or texture to the sound. This isn't a problem for a lot of guitar driven rock music (like the White Stripes), but the performance of classical and electronic music leaves something do be desired.
I would not consider these headphones to be comfortable, and though I have (out of desperation) used them for 4 or 5 hour flights, your ears will be sore afterwards (and you can forget reting on a pillow).
They have, however, been very durable. As I've stated, I've been using these heavily for 2 or 3 or 4 years now and have only just begun to notice a definite decline in sound reproduction capability.
If you can spare the $50, get the Sennheiser PX-200s. These are quite possibly the best headphones for portable devices.
Digital camera Review: All right for the money, but uncomfortable after awhile.
Summary: 4 Stars
The sound on these headphones was good, as I've expected from Sony products. The main issue I had with these was that they were uncomfortable after a few hours. I've lowered my rating to 1 since the left speaker no longer works. I've had these less than a month. Very disappointing.Digital camera Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Digital camera Review: Alright Headphones

I Had Them For 2 Weeks And The Head Phone Plug In Broke Off.. The Sound Was A Lil Crackly.
