Manufacturer's 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.

Customer Reviews

Good quality, great price
When I bought these headphones, I thought they weren't going to be very good. But I was actually suprised how good they were for there price. Sure, if your a professional sound engineer then your not going to be buying these headphones, but as basic computer headphones they are perfect. The sound quality is good and luckily the lead is long enough so I can actually use the headphones on my computer (as I so often can't with other headphones).

Cheap but sound quality only average
i bought these as a replacement for some other Sony phones that got damaged and have been using them on a variety of sources including my PC, DAB radio and a decent stereo.

The good points:
> They're cheap
> The lead is reasonably long
> They're light and comfortable

The bad points:
> The sound quality is not that good

The main problem with the sound quality is the muffled and thumping bass. yes, there is plenty of bass, but it's like listening through a cushion. It thumps, bumps but there is no real definition. The mid range is ok but vocals are somewhat distant and the top end is generally ok.

The MDR-250V phones are a much better bet.

Great, but....
I'm very impressed with these headphones, good price, and feel very light when worn.
They deliver clean crisp top notes and a perfectly respectable bass at the lower end, but be warned, they do not come with the advertised volume control on the lead.
Apart from that, well worth the money and highly recomended.
