Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones
Digital camera Review: Best affordable headphones out there
Summary: 5 Stars
Got mine during Thanksgiving Sale for $9! Definitely worth my money. After months of constant use and harsh handling (I often drop them), it still works as great as the first time I bought them.Digital camera Review: Best affordable studio headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using these Sony headphones for 7 years and they sound great. I use to use them when I goto the store or other places with my mom but now I use them when I goto the library, or when I' am at home, etc by myself. I do use them to listen to my mu...sic, playing video games, etc on my computer. They do have very clear sound and good bass, mids and highs like big studio or stereo speakers. Overall these headphones are pretty flat response so you can use them in the recording studio. I do wish that the highs were little more brighter though but for $20 they are great.
When I put these headphones on for couple hours I do take them off since they start to feel kinda hot at times. They only hurt if I put them on wrong like I have to make sure the earpads are placed right on my ears so they don't put pressure on one area too much.
Sony has been making these headphones since 1999 so for the price these headphones must of been popular since then. I did get them around 2004 and they still work good as new since I take care of my stuff.
Digital camera Review: Best and worst of these headphones.
Summary: 4 Stars
I like these headphones. I'll break them down best and worst.
Pros:
- Long cord which can be helpul at times.
- Durable/You can count on Sony.
- Great for sound. Good bass and treble.
- Great for traveling.
Cons:
- Long cord which can also be a pain at times.
- Somewhat uncomfortable.
- (not really a con but a comment) Why do they say studio monitor at the top of the headphones?
Pros - 4
Cons - 2
Pros are 4/6 = 67%
4 stars
So, they aren't excellent, but they are good. Worth getting them if you want hi-fi or they look good to you. Though, I think the HD-202 and the UR15C headphones better. If you're really picky about comfort, I get one of the two I just said.
P.S. COMFORT TIP-
Take off the earform things. They feel fine, but you may want to put something on them afterwards.
Digital camera Review: Best cheap headphones ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm generally not a fan of Sony products, but these headphones are excellent. They're comfortable, have great sound quality, have a long cord, and are extremely durable!
I've been burned by headphones with extremely thin cords before. They have poor sound quality, and usually break down after a couple months. Even many expensive headphones have this problem. But, I've bought 3 sets of these headphones (one for work, one for home, one for backup), and not one has broken yet, after several years of use!
I feel that if the wire was shielded, the set would be even better, but you won't find anything comparable to that for under $70.
Digital camera Review: Best headphones I've ever had
Summary: 5 Stars
I got these about 3 years ago and they still sound and feel fantastic. I don't think they'd ever blow out; I usually have them blasting since I use them while skateboarding. I have long hair and with some other headphones I had problems with hair being pulled out but not with these. Also, I have never really had a problem with the thickness of the cord. I actually like it because it is easier to untangle, but it is a little too long. I usually stuff my pocket with the cord so it stays out of my way.
The only problem, which isn't too bad, is that when wearing them for long periods of time like traveling my ears become sore and I have to take a short break. They may be too tight, but it sure doesn't feel like it until you have been wearing them for a few hours.
I always suggest these headphones to people. I got them in a store for $20 and they have better sound than some much more expensive headphones I've tried.
