Review on Sony MDR-V150 Headphones, cheap and affordable pair of headphones!
Sony MDR-V150 Headphones
I’ve owned several pairs of these, and figured I would write a review about them.
Description, right from Sony’s website:
The MDR-V150 Studio Monitor Series headphones are built for your ears. They feature supra-aural design for excellent listening comfort. Also included are the 30mm diameter drivers for deep bass, high-energy ferrite magnets, reversible earcups for single-sided monitoring, a wide molded headband for long-lasting comfort, and a stereo UniMatch® plug. Indulge yourself in amazing sound.

My experience using these headphones:
Sound Quality
For the price, ($19.99) these headphones produce an excellent sound and are well worth the $20. They have a decent bass and sound quality, and in my opinion have much better sound quality then most other headphones at the same price. The only problem I find with these is the amount of sound that leaks through the headphones, although you have to remember they aren’t sound canceling so one might expect this to happen with these headphones.
Durability
If you take good care of these headphones like you should do with any pair of headphones that you own, they will hold up and last you a long time. I use these at school, so they’re always being tossed around with my backpack, which of course is not the best thing for them. I’ve had to repair mine several times because of this. (Superglue, haha) I’ve never had any problems with the chord being torn up or stretched though.
Comfort
I would not suggest using these headphones for long periods of time. (ie, plane trip, anything more than an hour or two at once) They fit nicely around your head, but tend to hurt your ears once you begin to listen to music with them for long periods of time.
Other thoughts
The only other problem I have with these headphones are the length of the cable. (6.6 ft [2.0m]) It’s helpful if you plan on using them at home or in a studio, but when you’re carrying these around with you everywhere, the chord becomes quite a nuisance.
Overall they’re great headphones for the price, but if you’re looking for real studio quality headphones that are comfortable with use over several hours, I would not recommend these.
