Family getting larger? Get some headphones!!

With the arrival of my first child and the house getting smaller as a result, finding time to do things had been getting more difficult, and the chances of any noise created being a problem increased. The simple solution seemed to be a set of...

Comfortable, great sound quality, innexpensive

Sony MDR V150 Monitor Series Headphones With Reversible Earcups

Decent everyday headphones for a decent price

There is plenty good to say about these headphones if you take the studio out of the equation. For everyday wear and use these headphones are fine. The highs sound lovely through these and for your average music listener, these will do fine

I hate to say it, but these headphones are totally useless as studio monitors. They don't have the ability to produce the types of sounds needed for studio work. The bass is weak and the layering is just not there. Also, they're really tight and may be...

These headphones are no good for the recording studio but that doesn't mean you can't listen to your favorite CD at home. These are affordable headphones (though somewhat uncomfortable) that will suit everyday usage.

Sony MDR-V150 Studio Monitor Headphones

I have spent an endless amount of time and energy searching high and low for the perfect set of headphones that would not cause my ears to become sore after I have worn them on my head for countless hours every day. I would seriously not want to know...

Best headphones I've ever owned on a budget

I have owned my pair for years. Every so often I buy a new pair of headphones(usually under $30) and I always end up giving them away because these old things just have such higher quality sound. You cannot go wrong for a budget pair.

Great sound quality ; Long cord

Ear cover paddings wear away over time

Save up for something better

These would be well worth the money if they were built better. You'll be lucky to get more than a year of use.

Sound good for price

break super easy

Sounds good to the wallet - Audiophile's opinion

These headphones sound pretty decent (ESP for 15$). If you've never owned anything other than apple earbuds, these will undoubtedly blow you away. They really show that even cheap "real" headphones trump earbuds. As far as overall sound quality, I'm...

Comfortable(rare for cheap cans) only 10-20$ at most sites, quality cable, surprisingly warm sound decent highs and good mid, bass is recessed but is honest and presents multiple levels, unlike skullcandies, which present that atrocious "one note bass...

The sound stage for these is fairly small even compared to other cheap cans such as the HD202. Also, no noise isolation, I strongly recommend buying over-ear phones versus on ear phones. Also listening at higher levels these tend to distort ; Biggest...

Best pair of headphones I've ever owned

I've had $40-$50 pairs of headphones that would break in less than a year, but these just keep going. Kudos to the guys who designed these headphones.

Very comfortable, nice bass, good mids, and good highs ; Long, thick, yet durable oxygen-free cord ; adapter for connecting headphones to high end equipment ; Adjustable settings to fit your 'cranium' per se ; I've owned these headphones for almost 5...

Adjustable band appears to be stretched now from excessive use and the ear muffs are beginning to slowly deteriorate from excessive use as well. Part of the band is also cracked, but that was my fault all together ; Again, these ARE about 5 years old...

Nice! For the price...

Only $20, and get high quality sound. Great deal, and great price. I love these.

Great sound! Great Base. tightly fit around head. Light, and long cord! the long cord is a perk if you do alot of work on a computer, or gaming so you can move around

I've bought 3 sets of these in the past few years. There is a plastic clip thing that holds the speaker parts in place so they dont move too much. These clips easily break, and then the earphones will no longer adjust to your head ; Other than that,...

Great Headphones

Comes with an adapter to convert the mini stereo connector for use in electronics that use the stereo connector. Can't beat the price for these nice headphones.

Excellent sound quality ; Cheap ; Well Designed ; Exceeds all expectations
