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.

For the price - Good
Sony MDR-V150

Considering how much could be spent on a pair of headphones, these are amazingly cheap. And, for that reason, are very good value.

The base is enhanced a lot. Although it is a heavy, slightly muffled sound. Which is ok, for listening to early rock n roll sixties recordings, which I like. Although fairly limited, the high and mid ranges are evident.To a certain extent only. So if you are not reasonably fussed about having too perfect overall sound quality, these are very good value. They seem to be solidly built,play loud and for certain types of music, they are ideal.

Summing up. If I were to go back in time,to be given a choice, whether to buy these phones or not, I would once again, most certainly do so.

good value but average MDR-V150
For years I have had a pair of Sony CD550 headphones which have just packed up after a vast amount of use. I bought these MDR-V150 to temporary replace them and also to use in the workplace. They are good value for money, but they will never replace the CD550 phones. The cable is far too short for me and needs an extension lead, and they are very uncomfortable after wearing them for 20 minutes or less. They sound good for what they cost, but I would not purchase another pair unless Sony upgraded them to sound better, but even more important to feel better. If they did this and increased the price, I would be interested, but you pay for what you get with these phones. Sony could do better than this, but for the price, they are worth considering if you want a decent pair of value headphones.

Just as good as MDR V300
About 2 years ago i purchased the more expensive MDR V300 sony headphones and was extremely impressed with the quality. Everything i would want from a pair of headphones. Excellent sound quality with nice deep bass.
However, one unfortunate evening a drunken friend sat on my lovely headphones and snapped off the right earpiece. I purchased the MDR V150 as a replacement, and i am pleasantly suprised that the sound quality is indistinguishable.
A good buy if you aren't looking to spend too much on headphones for everyday computer/commuting use.

Can be uncomfortable on the old ears, but they soon loosen up.

All in all; Goodtimes.
