Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones with Reversible Earcups
Customer Review: For the money they are a great product.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned 4-5 of these through the years, theyve been on the market for a long time and for good reason. They are quality headphones for general use as well as adequate for recording and sound editing. They are comfortably balanced, reasonably loud, and work fine with any mp3 player ive ever used.
The few negative points for this model relate to how they sit on your head. For folks with large roundish heads or with lots of hair, these wont have a problem staying put. The plastic holding the earpieces is sturdy, but doesnt really conform to my head, so as far as using these on the go, I wouldnt recommend it to people with short-cropped hair. Same goes for using them while laying down reading a book, they arent very convenient with the plastic piece anywhere but on top of your head.
They are fine for using if you are sitting on a train or bus, however they arent really sound insulated so prepare to have your music compete with the ambient noise sometimes. They perform below average in keeping the sound confined to your ears for headphones of this type, as they are not large enough to completely envelop the ears.
I think with exception of 2 of these units, they all eventually suffered the same fate, which was a breaking of the plastic piece where the earpieces swivel. This is the weakest point and a good drop can crack it. Some tape can mend these, but its a bit tricky and you lose the swivel. Be careful not to snag the rather long cords, as enough pulls will also destroy them in short order. Same as any other headphones tho. I must stress that I put some heavy use into these, they are by no means fragile but be prepared to replace them after a year or less if you are a person on the go as I am.
In all, a great price for very comfortable and high quality headphones. They will likely drain your mp3 player batteries faster than average, but for home recording on a budget, or general gaming, movie watching, etc, they are pretty nice.
Description of Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones with Reversible Earcups
Studio Monitor Series Headphones incorporate high-end materials and advanced engineering; critically clean, exceptionally clear sound for professional and high fidelity applications. Reversible earcups enable single-sided monitoring flexibility. 30 mm diameter drive units are larger than many headphones for deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range; bass response extends down to a low 18 Hz. 500 mW power handling stands up to day-in, day-out use at high output levels. Ferrite magnets allow for high energy and compact size producing ample sound output - 98 dB/mW sensitivity. Oxygen-free copper cord assures maximum conductivity, minimum noise. It conducts electricity better than conventional copper. Supra-aural design rests lightly on the ear and creates a controlled environment for better sound. Driver is positioned the correct distance from the ear canal. Wide, molded headband distributes the headphone's weight over a wide area; reduced pressure means comfortable listening for hours on end.The MDR-V150 closed supra-aural headphones provide top-end comfort and sound quality. Sony's closed type headphones allow only a limited amount of ambient noise into the ear canal, giving your attention fully to the music. The padded earcups fit comfortably, hour after hour. For those who like to use the headphones for single-sided monitoring, these MDR-V150s come with reversible earcups. The supra-aural design is engineered for excellent listening comfort. The wide headband distributes the headphone's weight evenly. The two meter cord (6.6 feet) is made of oxygen-free copper wiring and is double-sided.
Sony has installed several key features to these headphones to enhance their sound quality. The thirty millimeter drive units delivers a deep bass sound and a wide dynamic range (the frequency range extends down to 18 Hz.) Both the stereo mini-plug and the UniMatch phone plug are gold-plated to make sure sound is transported fully and accurately. The gold-plated treatment also helps resist corrosion and supports the headphones' high conductivity and low noise. Lightweight ferrite magnets allow for high power at a minimum size. Finally, the PET diaphragm works to deliver low distortion.
Excellent fit, excellent compatibility and excellent sound: these headphones fit the bill for a sound professional.
