Overview

The Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones closed supra-aural headphones provide top-end comfort and sound quality. Sony’s closed type headphones allow only a limited amount of ambient noise into the ear canal, giving your attention fully to the music. The padded earcups fit comfortably, hour after hour. For those who like to use the headphones for single-sided monitoring, these MDR-V150s come with reversible earcups. The supra-aural design is engineered for excellent listening comfort. The wide headband distributes the headphone’s weight evenly. The two meter cord (6.6 feet) is made of oxygen-free copper wiring and is double-sided.

Sony has installed several key features to these headphones to enhance their sound quality. The thirty millimeter drive units delivers a deep bass sound and a wide dynamic range (the frequency range extends down to 18 Hz.) Both the stereo mini-plug and the UniMatch phone plug are gold-plated to make sure sound is transported fully and accurately. The gold-plated treatment also helps resist corrosion and supports the headphones’ high conductivity and low noise. Lightweight ferrite magnets allow for high power at a minimum size. Finally, the PET diaphragm works to deliver low distortion.

Excellent fit, excellent compatibility and excellent sound: these headphones fit the bill for a sound professional.

Reviews

As far as sound quality goes, Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones far surpasses every other set of headphones I've ever owned. I tested these against a similar Bose headset in Circuit City (when they were still open). These headphones held their own over the Bose, and while the Bose unit was definitely more comfortable, they did not sound any better at all.

The mini jack to 1/4" converter piece is SO convenient. I can plug these into my keyboard with the 1/4" piece, then take it off and listen to my iPod.

These Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones headphones seem somewhat flimsy, however, they are very durable, as I have proved. They spend a good bit of their time crammed into a laptop bag, and somehow still come out looking brand new. The ear pieces moved back and forth and side to side to accommodate the shape of your ear, and they can also extend up and down to best fit your head.

The Sony MDR-V150 Headphones work amazingly well very comfortable padding sounds amazing and loud! Extra long thick cord is great and useful (at times it can get in the way) the head phones come off the head band but I don't rec amend that was teff to snap back on and was scared I was going to break the little plastic pieces holding it in but it didn't over all im very pleased with it oh and came with an adaptor for my radio

These headphones deliver good sound at a great price. Though they're far too tight, even at the widest setting. And I only have an average-sized head. After wearing them for an hour my ears start to get sore. They also can't be folded for easy packing. Ultimately this is best for people who want headphones for home-use and have small heads.
