great sound for price, but maybe not very efficient.

I have a cheap $15 mp3 player and when i'm playing it full blast through these Sony MDR 101 headphones sometimes its still not loud enough(depends on how loud the recording levels were set on the material i'm listening to). I am getting an ipod nano...

Good sound but very short (less than a metre!) cable.

 

Good sound but very short (less than a metre!) cable.

The sound quality of the headphone is very good but I was very disappointed since the cable was so short (around 36 inches/ 90cm). I was struggling to hook it upto your computer and sit properly on the chair. Infact I could only use it either on a...

I am usually picky about my sound, and usually get the absolute best quality in my audio accesories. I never really cared for Sony, but I decided to try these headphones for the hell of it. I was suprised at the sound. It was xcellent, one of the best...

Product Specifications

Lightweight open-air headphones are comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. The 30mm diameter drive units are larger than most headphones for noticeably deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range; frequency response extends down to a low 18Hz. The Sony Acoustic Turbo Circuit makes for high efficiency and gets high sonic output from your portable stereo - plus it extends bass response.
