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.

Customer Reviews


2 stars Dull and muffled.
These headphones are fine for the average joe, but are a nightmare for the audiophile. The frequency range is small, and focuses on the bass. this is pretty bad for those who listen to the fast paced power metal, where the guitars are going off into the super high-pitched notes. These dumb down the sound and do not feel like they "hug" your ears. They should be sending a pure, surrounding sound that gives birth to all frequencies, instead of muffling them. after all, they are supposed to be monitors. they should atleast be able to provide a clearer sound. i am dissapointed.


5 stars Headphones
Great product. Good Price. Considering buying another pair to have as a spare.


5 stars Inexpensive But Better Than My Expensive Headphones
These sound better than my Koss Pro 4AA's which I paid $100 for, and sound almost as good as my Bose Triports. I went through 3 pairs of Bose Triport headphones before giving up on them. They are incredibly flimsy at the swivel joints on each ear; each broke after about 3 months of use just putting them on and off my head, and I don't have a big head. I'm not a kid and I take care of my stuff, not abusing them at all. The Koss heaphones are VERY heavy and do not have the full sound that these have. I picked up a pair of these Sony's at Walmart for a quick fix and they turned out to be great -- light, good sound, inexpensive, robust. These I've dropped several times and they are fine.


5 stars Great for iphones
I tried headphone after headphone and had about given up on finding a pair I liked for my iPhone (1g), then I tried these and was amazed. I head nuances of music I had not heard with any of the other headphones (both over the head and earbud). They also have more volume range than the others, allowing lower listening levels without maxing out the volume control. I know some have complained about the fit, but they feel very comfortable to me. Give them a try and see what you think. You may be surprised like I was. (And a great price on Amazon!)


1 stars They don't sound good and they don't feel good. Basically just bad.
I'm something of a music freak on a very tight budget. This, in combination with the fact that I was in a hurry to get a new pair and didn't do my homework, is why I shelled out 28 bucks for these V150's.

What can I say? They stink. Since these are on-ear instead of in ear, comfort is going to be less than the circumnaural type, but these are especially bad, with an extremely tight fit that renders them painful after about 10 minutes, especially if you wear glasses. Even worse than this is the shamefully poor sound quality. I don't mean the obvious "they don't sound as good as $200 phones", I mean "they're really, really bad even for the $20 range." Undefined bass and incredibly muddy-sounding mediums and highs are what we're talking about here. I was literally stunned when I first tried them out. I've had dollar-store phones with better clarity. The biggest waste of my money so far this year. I'm still kicking myself. Please, please don't buy these headphones. If you truly don't care about quality, go get a pair at your local dollar store, they certainly can't sound worse. But if you want some cheap headphones with good quality, go for something hugely better in the same price range, like the Sennheiser HD201's, or heck, even the somewhat mediocre Sony MDR -XD100's.
