Fantastic purchase - but hard to find

These headphones are absolutely great. They provide a very clear, exceptionally full sound The only problem is that I think they're a discontinued item. Sony's website doesn't list them anymore, and they're out of stock everywhere now. Grab them...

Most comfortable, with good sound

I recently broke a pair of headphones I got for free. I scoured reviews searching for the "right" replacement. I wanted to end up with a nice set for under $60. Although the other headphones did have a way to alter the volume right on the ear cups,...

Rockin'

These headphones are superb. The 40mm drivers really put out some great sound. Highs are crystal clear and lows have a decent amount of bunch of headphones of this caliber. The design is lightweight and airy, and looks less noticable than the bigger...

Great Sound, Personal Choice

One thing I also enjoy besides listening to music is headphones. I own over 20 different pairs, and these are one of my favorite choices for when I'm on the road, on a plane, or just at home. I do agree with the other reviewers that these don't leave...

good sound for the price, nice design, comfortable

This is a good pair if you like the open air designs (which I do). You get ambient noise and an airy "feel" around the ears. I wear them at work and like that I can hear people talk to me(or yell at me, depending on the volume). I compared the sound to...

Product Specifications

Sony MDR-501LP lightweight open-air headphones are comfortable to wear, even for extended periods, and their unique cirum-aural design provides an excellent fit for any size head that allows for fatigue-free listening. The oversized 40mm diameter drive units are larger than most headphones for noticeably deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range; frequency response extends down to an amazingly low 12Hz. The self-adjusting headband conforms precisely to the curve of your head for a fit that stays comfortable, even after listening for hours on end, and the angle-adjustable housing pivots the earcups for maximum comfort.
