I purchased two sets of these headphones, as a portable DVD player I also bought had dual headjacks.
-
Sony headphones are a must to fully enjoy your Sony portable DVD player.
-
I use these on my laptop, portable DVD player, and on another connecting cord to my TV in the evenings, and whatever else I can find to connect the headphones to.
-
As for the sound - they are worse than the set that came "free" with my portable CD player.
-
I purchased these headphones hoping that they would be an improvement over the set that came with my portable CD player.

If your main worry is money these headphones are a great buy
-
only problem she has is she can't wear her hearing aids with the headphones, other than that, it was a good buy
-
mic!but for the price (even at $20) its not a bad buy!
-
I bought these headphones a little over a year ago from Best Buy for the slight sum of $20.00 and have used them near daily ever since, either on the computer or on my iPod
-
I purchased a new pair from best buy and I rarely used them

Reviews around value (4.59 of 5)
-
I normally scoff at Sony's inflated brand value, which I'm convinced is the reason for their ridiculously high prices on most technologies available cheaper from other manufacturers at comparable quality
-
Hence, they are a GREAT VALUE in quality sound, to say the least.
-
This does not really work as the ear thing does not flip all the way, more like 80% or so
-
Like the other people say, the sound quality is great and a great value
-
I lost mine and i loved them, so i decided to get the same headphones, they are very comfy , great sound and a great value also, very recomended,

Good price, nice sound and the plug fits perfect through the iPod aluminum case, besides, its size would not make my computer backpack bulky either
-
all seriousness, they are great headphones at a great price.
-
As for the mid-high end headphones, if you really want good sound for a not-too-expensive price, check out the Sony 7506...those are really the true 'standard' in the music industry, and they have proven themselves to me
-
In all, a great price for very comfortable and high quality headphones
-
I would definitely recommend these, and the price isn't too bad at all!Read more

They were also really tight on the head/ears (not in a good way)

He likes the way they sound (and he is very picky in that category), and he says they are comfortable.

Either way, you can feel confident you know a good thing

These headphones are reasonably comfortable, though if you wear eyeglasses you might find them pressing your glasses against the side of your head in an eventually painful way

Good products at a fair reasonable price is still a good product

This was a great product only problem does not have to do with the headphone, but the device you use

I contacted Sony which is what you have to do when their product has a defect like this

I just bought a SONY DVD PLAYER and the compatible SONY HEADPHONES and it is my fault your product came broken??

Unless your head is particularly small, I do not recommend this product

Reviews around bass (3.60 of 5)
-
They do have very clear sound and good bass, mids and highs like big studio or stereo speakers
-
The only good thing I can say about these headphones is that they have a nice, clear bass
-
these headphones have really good bass and are as loud as they come
-
The headphones sound good for small applications in the home for your computer or small stereo system but not for clubdjing where clear loud bass performance is
-
Bass should be present, but not enhanced or overpowering.

Reviews around cord (3.59 of 5)
-
The only bad thing I have to say about the product is that the cord is long as hell
-
I like the extra long cord and the fact that it's thicker than most
-
The cord is nice and long so you can stand or move around in your chair with them on.
-
I also like the long cord which is very heavy duty, so odds
-
The only annoyance would be the bulky and rather thick headphone cord

I was looking for a cheap set of Sony headphones, and these fit the bill perfectly

Overall, fantastic set of over-the-head, headphones at this price

1/28/2011After breaking the set in they fit perfect now

I dissected and was a little disappointed to find out that they had the exact same speakers as the set of the cheap sets of headphones that came with walkmans way back in the 90's

I have had these since '09, yet as of 6/13/12, they still work perfectly, with the sole fault being the left cup broke off its plastic swivel piece.

The sound is not as rich as with a large pair of headphones, but that is simply the limitation of small, earbud speakers.=>

I bought these headphones as a replacement for a pair of Sony MDR-XD100s that broke.

They're excellent headphones for the price, but if you use them every day, the ear pads will eventually fall apart and replacements aren't worth buying.

Now i have had some minor issues with them, pinched my hair twice, but nothing horrible

The plastic size adjusters were just designed to snag hair, so it seems.

These sound better than my Koss Pro 4AA's which I paid $100 for, and sound almost as good as my Bose Triports

They are also to tight, it squeezes your ears, and it really hurts your head

Reviews around ambient noise (2.58 of 5)
-
They form a nice tight fit and are pretty good at blocking out ambient noise, but they aren't suitable for very long periods of use.

The headphones deliver good sound and seal off the ambient noise almost completely

Even at a higher volume, I can still hear outside ambient noises, and if I listen to music for a long time it will becomes NSFW.Is it just me or am I not sophisticated or professional enough

Sony needs to stop covering the styrofoam ear pads with cheap plastic
-
The adjusters always wear down because of the cheap plastic

the cheap plastic supporting the can on the left side failed so the ear piece now will not stay where it belongs.

These dumb down the sound and do not feel like they "hug" your ears

half hour or more, gets a little uncomfortable and hurt my ears

Rest assured, this review is unbiased, do not spend money on these.

If you can find a $20-something model with good reviews, that might be a better purchase

I ignored the reviews about how tight the headphones are, thinking that I am a women and my head size and my ears are small

I purchased these headphones although every bad review said that they were painfully tight on your head.

Reviews around bud (1.71 of 5)
-
I decided to look at headphones after getting cheap ear buds that don't work when you get them
-
They're better than ear buds in terms of sound quality for sure, although they do start to become uncomfortable after a few hours
-
Another thing I cannot stand about ear buds is that they fall out way too easy when these stay secured to your head when you're working or just plain don't feel like dealing with putting the bud back in your ear every 12 seconds
-
For those of you who hate ear buds and are looking for a cheap pair of headphones with okay sound, these are the way to go.
-
They are like my cheap ear buds, but fuller of course, because they surround the ear more

Reviews around month (1.29 of 5)
-
These headphones were initially uncomfortable and after so many months of usage were still uncomfortable
-
Mine(MDR-V150)lasted about 5 or 6 months and the left side speaker broke off the headset and 2 months after that they are a set of speakers on a wire
-
Even after a month of break-in these headphones sound muddy and distant.
-
I realize that for a cheap pair of headphones I shouldn't be expecting much, but can't I at least get a few months out of a product without it breaking almost entirely?Would not recommend to future customers on that basis
-
These headphones have excellent sound and brilliant bass, but about four months into owning them I find that they constantly lose the connection on one side.

Reviews around doe (1.00 of 5)
-
But they don't fold at all, and the earcups are held in place by a flimsy plastic peg in the design, which breaks quite easy, as does the headband
-
This was a great product only problem does not have to do with the headphone, but the device you use
-
Due to the prevalence of bass already in these genres of music, the muddled bass that the MDR-V150 does just makes it that much worse
-
with small tension of pulling ear piece to remove headphone away does break this plastic retainer

This does not really work as the ear thing does not flip all the way, more like 80% or so
