"Excellent product!!!!"
I have only had these for a few weeks & I think they are great!!
They sound really good. I've used them for my portable DVD player & I haven't had any problems with them. If you want a good pair of headphones for a really good price then I suggest you purchase these. They fit snug to your head & really keep out the back ground noise. The stereo sound is great.

"Awesome Headphones!!!!"
I've used a lot of different headphones in my days. I always go back to the Sony MDR-V150. They are the best sounding consumer headphones on the market. They're cheap and they have amazing bass and treble response. I've used ear buds that cost $15-20 and ones that cost $160 and the MDR-V150 is still better than all of them. I would buy these headphones over anything else. Plus ear buds can easily damage your hearing in ways that these cannot. Be warned though you need to be careful with them. I've had a few pairs break where the speaker attaches to the headband.

"Very good sound despite the low price! Max 'bang per buck'!"
As a longtime audiophile and musician, i've always had high standards for headphones, speakers, etc. A quality headphone should present the music (from a quality source, of course) in a neutral, uncolored, yet detailed way, with good overall tonal balance, 'air', and timbral accuracy, and feel comfortable. Bass should be present, but not enhanced or overpowering. I am happy to say that these 'cans' (slang for 'headphones') deliver when it comes to all of the aforementioned characteristics. Yes, they do NOT sound like a pair of electrostatic 'Stax' high end 'cans', or a pair of Sennheiser HD-595's, BUT they sound like they cost a lot more than the ridiculously low asking price here on Amazon! Hence, they are a GREAT VALUE in quality sound, to say the least. Like most speakers and 'cans', they sound noticeably better after 'breaking them in' a few hours. After plugging them in for the first time, put your CD or MP3 player on 'repeat', turn up the volume fairly loud, and let them 'break in' for a few hours. Your ears will thank you!

"very much satisfied."
I've had this for about two-three months and so far it's been giving me no grief. I don't hear a lot of hip-hop music so I can't testify about the bass requirement for "loud, pounding" songs; but compared to the earphones I've had, this one had the clearest, cleanest sound. Plus the headphones are adjustable. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

"Ouch!"
These Sony headphones have very good sound but are a pain on the ears. As others have stated after 20 minutes or so one wants to visit a clinic for the pain. Look elsewhere for better comfort.
