Sony MDR V150 Monitor Series Headphones with Reversible Earcups
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 Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars decent headphone quality, but extremely uncomfortable
I bought these headphones for the purpose of listening to music/video and also to do some mixing with music recordings. I have to say, while I do like a lot of sony’s earbuds for their sound quality and bass response, I was somewhat disappointed with this pair of headphones. Bass response was mediocre, not as powerful as my $10 earbuds surprisingly enough. The mids and highs seemed fine. However, these headphones were extremely tight and uncomfortable. I thought it would be good that they are tight and thus would keep a lot of sound out (which they do, but at a cost). After maybe 30 minutes to an hour my ears were aching a lot, so much that I had to take off the headphones and rest my ears for a while. With glasses it is even worse. Do not buy if you want headphones that you can keep on for long periods of time.
5 Stars Headphones that really work
I bought these for my children and they work great! Nice to have a product that not only works but is a good quality product as well.
5 Stars Great headphones
I use these headphones with a Sony DVD player and they work great. Excellent sound.
4 Stars Nice Sound
I really like the sound I get from this set. The tightness did hurt my ears for a few minutes but I got used to it before the day was over.
4 Stars Good inexpensive headphone
Quite decent. Sony quality. Light weight. The tension is sufficient to keep the phones in place, but not too tight to cause headaches, YMMV. Sound quality is acceptable. So far there are no issues with reliability. Its a simple design so there’s very little that can break or go wrong with these. The ear cups are foam with super thin vinyl/simulated leather cover that’ll likely start tearing up after a year or so of moderate use. The cups fit on top of you ears, not over them. BTW, the plug fits the 1st gen Iphones with no problems. This is meets or exceeds all my expectations and needs for this price range.
