What our customer's say!

"OK for the price, uncomfortable", I have two main problems with these headphones:
1) They do not cover your entire ear (they smash your ear to your head and are uncomfortable)
2) The sound quality is very flat (typical to Sony; you may like this)

For the price, I think these are slightly better than average headphones. They seem well built.

Although these don't cover your ears entireley, they mash your head tightly enough that they actually block out a good amount of sound. However, no matter how I adjust them they mash my head too tightly to be comfortable for more than a few minutes...

The sound is too balanced for my taste -- I prefer a bit more 'oomph' behind my bass and treble. People like my mom -- who turn their bass down on their car stereos -- would like these headphones. They don't sound bad, they just don't sound great.

I love that they have a little nubbin on the left headphone so you don't have to look at them when putting them on...

"Solid construction and great sound", I bought a set of these for my personal use at my home computer and they have really worked well. I had gone through a few other sets of headphones and most aren't as sturdy or sound as good as these. When I needed to buy headphones for my work, (computer based training) it was a no brainer to select these. I ordered four sets for our training department, and I'll update if we run into any issues, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon. I've used mine at home for about 3 years, averaging probably 10-15 hours a week and they are still working well.

"Great Sound for Price", These headphones are a great value. The sound quality is impressive and they are a definite upgrade over earbuds. My music sounds fuller with these headphones and there is great bass that's not overbearing at all. they are also comfortable to wear for extended periods provided I am not wearing earrings or my glasses. I love these headphones and the price makes them an especially great purchase.

"A quick warning", I've been using these headphones for about two years now, and I love them. The only problem is that I've used them so much that the vinyl covers on the ear pads have decayed. The right ear went first, and after a bit of searching I found replacement pads(part #211566701) for $4 on Sony's supply site.

I should've bought two, because now the left ear is shredded (which drastically reduces the sound quality) and Sony's site has replaced the nice cheap pad with a $14 model (part #211566702). I love these headphones, but for that price I could just about buy a brand new set.

Long story short, enjoy them while they last. They're excellent headphones for the price, but if you use them every day, the ear pads will eventually fall apart and replacements aren't worth buying.

"Band Happy", I play in a Worship band at our church. We are a growing church of about 1200 and have 5 services a week. I play in 3 of them. We are always having trouble with head sets as they just don't work or break down. We decided to try these as they are not expensive. We have found we love these. I love the way the ear piece sets just on your ear. We have found they are not too tight in the head as others have stated. I am a women and other guys are wearing them too and are not having a problem.
We have long reshural during the week and an hour before each service we play. So I am not wearing them all day long, but for the time I do they are the greatest so far. I am going to buy me personal set to wear at home,as I bought these for our band. They are very comfortable.

"beautiful sound at a sweet price!", I have the SONY MDR J10 behind the ear earphones which give great sound .. i wanted something with a better 'punch' .. tried on a friends SkullCandy pair with the built in subwoofer, but the vibrations were irritating..

So decided to for the MDR 150 and these are awesome! the bass is perfect .. not too much, definitely not less .. i loved listening to my fav hiphop songs but was afraid listening to rock wont be fun, but i was wrong! you can hear the bass guitar playing so clearly .. the quality is superb!

these are an awesome pair of headphones and surely a steal at a price of around $20 .. very comfortable as well .. one star less cause they dont come in several colors :p a white pair wud look cooler!

"Spend $7 more for the Sennheiser HD 202 ", I bought these Sony MDR V150's about 4 months ago. They did not last long. The flimsy plastic fork-shaped connectors between the ear cups and the headbands snapped when I rested my head on one side. I bought the Sennheiser HD 202 as a replacement. The 202's are far better, and for a few dollars more a big improvement. I wish I'd bought the 202's in the first place. Please see my review of the Sennheiser HD 202 Headphones for more information. I chose the Sony set because it seemed the least expensive headphone set. Spending less is only good if the product lasts long enough to receive value, these did not last.

If you are still considering this set, remember the Sony MDR V150 are actually very small diameter cups supra-aural, not circumaural. These are important distinctions to know when purchasing headphones. Circumaural will fit completely over and around the ears, not contacting the outer-ear parts. The supra-aural models look very similar (especially in photos), but are smaller in diameter and will fit with the pad contacting the outer-ear parts (penna). That contact flattens the outer-ear against the skull, causing pressure. My motivation for moving to over-the-head sets from earbuds and plugs was to avoid irritation. Circumaural is the most comfortable choice for sensitive wearers.

I gave these 2 stars because they are not useless. If you want an inexpensive set, they sound ok. If handled with care, they could work well enough. They are not uncomfortable, just found to be far less comfortable than the others, after comparison.


"so uncomfortable they hurt my ears", can't wear them for more than about a half hour w/ my ears starting to hurt. Terrible. Sound quality is ok, but they feel on my ears is terrible.

"Too Tight and not the best sound", I found the Sony MDR-V150 Headphones to be too tight for my head, and I believe many other reviewers share the same view as me. After 15-20 minutes of use, I had to remove them because of the growing pressure against my ears. I ended up with a splitting headache after I used these headphones. And what's more, the sound quality isn't that great either.
And I'm not comparing these with in-ear iPod headphones. I'm comparing the Sony ones with on-ear headphones of other make. For example, I previously owned one made by Panasonic, and the sound quality was superb and it was very comfortable to have over your ears. Even the Bose on-ear regular headphones are comfortable and provide good quality sound, although those are a lot more expensive.

"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.
