Product Description: Studio Monitor SeriesHeadphones 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.Amazon.com Product Description: The MDR-V150 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. What's in the Box

Customer Reviews:
- Perfect to do what it was made for: I've always wanted a headphone to monitor my recordings and I like Sony trademark very much. I've been using this headphone for 2 weeks and I'm very satisfied with the quality of sound and its perfect fit on my head and ears. It's a very cheap and quality product. I recommend it to anyone who needs a headphone for monitoring your records or even to listen to music.
- loud!: These headphones are very loud. They are great in that respect but I personally felt that they are too tight on the ears. After about 30 minutes they start to hurt.
- Perfect headphones: My old-fashioned husband does not like the idea of ear-buds, and needed something for a 5-hour bus ride. He likes these because they fit over his ears, rather than in or on them. He likes the way they sound (and he is very picky in that category), and he says they are comfortable. When he uses them, I cannot hear what he's listening to, so they are good for privacy (he keeps the volume high).
- Comfortable but muddy: Bought these to replace a pair of old Koss headphones that I use mainly for home recording. These things may look similar, and fit well, but that's it; the only reason they're even getting two stars is that if you have enough time, you can probably find a setting on whatever EQ you're using that sounds passable, but for recording they are horrible. Overall, a very muddy sound, seemingly centered on the upper end of the bass frequencies, and little to no treble at all.
These really wreak havok with pretty much any genre of music you use them with; perhaps I have an overly sensitive ear as a musician, but I shouldn't have to eq twice (once while using these as a monitor and then once to correct for them during mixdown). You get what you pay for where accurate sound reproduction is concerned. - works great: I've had these for over two years, exposing them to much abuse and they still work and look great. No complaints at all.
