Great for the price

The sound is good enough, clear, and crisp but the bass is a bit weak ; The build is light and durable, I owned it for about 3 years and its still working ; Long cord so you can move around without having to take it off. just about a meter long ;...

Its not noise canceling so you'll hear other people. IT has its cons and pros depends on the people. if you set it on highest volume you wont here others as much but others will here you if they are about 4-5 ft away... or the room is dead quiet ; The...

SONY MDR V250V STUDIO MONITOR HEADPHONES

These headphones are a good value for casual listening

No major ones for a set of headphones in this price range

Totally agree with Jean Montreal

I was looking for an over the ear set of headphones, comfortable, and good sound - got none of these. Good thing they didn\'t cost much - threw them in the trash.

Unbeatable Sound for the Price!

I've bought numerous headphones since I recently got into recording my own music. Most of the time headphones are overpriced and don't really work that great. I stumbled across these headphones at my local walmart a few times wondering if I should even...

Long cord-1/4 adapter for other audo devices-Great

Headphones may get uncomfortable after wearing them for awhile

Excellent value, very comfortable

Excellent value, good sound for a headphone this price, very comfortable. Great for commuting and outdoor activities, when one does not want to take expensive headphones. Very good at blocking outside noise for non noise canceling headphones. Great value!

Excellent Sound for $30

I've been on a headphone kick ever since I got my 2nd gen 32 GB iPod Touch. I've already bought some Skull Candy Smoking Buds INK'D ear buds based on the positive reviews here at ePinions, but also wanted something over-the-ears for at-home use.

Excellent sound for a semi-open ear design, priced right

Uncomfortable after a while if you wear glasses

Fool me thrice, shame on me

I'd purchased these headphones after a long history of satisfaction with Sony products. In less than a month a plastic part holding one of the speakers to the headset broke off -- since it was under warranty I sent it in for a repair/replacement and a...

Good sound, good looks

Will fall apart sooner rather than later

Consumer review by: tom0826 (shopping.com)

Good sound and value, but not built to last.

I've had these headphones for about 2 years, and use them almost daily to play music while working at my CAD station at work. I selected these headphones since I'm usually pleased with the sound quality of Sony products at a reasonable price. I liked...

Good sound quality, closed type monitor style headphone, padded ear cups, good value

Easily broken plastic pieces. Must handle with care if you want them to last
