Sony MDR-V150 Headphones with Reversible Housing for DJ Monitoring - Black

Product Information

I don't find that these work well with fast paced music or anything that has a lot of things going on.

I remember saving up a few weeks to get this pair but unfortunately the cable broke after a few years of use. Oxygen-free copper cord For maximum conductivity, minimum noise; conducts electricity better than conventional copper. I have a quite mixed feeling about these. I own the white versions which are just the same. But I have to say, these headphones are okay for casual listening and portability. Even though they're portable, I still use my massive Philips SHP2000 wherever I go. Sony's MDR-V150s aren't fancy. No gold plugs, no completely isolated 4 wire cable, no expensive materials in build or no special-looking drivers but they're sleeper headphones for that price. Yes, they're not Grados, they're not providing a theater like stereo stage with mindblowing sound coloring. Bear in mind these are affordable monitors. They're built to sound raw, blunt, flat, uncolored but detailed. Combined with a Xonar D2X, a digital amplifier like Sony's CMT-HX3 or an old AKAI AM-2500 with good sources, you'll be blown away with the detail & balance. Yes they'll be uncomfortable for your ears after some time since they're designed to sound raw, not to please (you can add an EQ to the path if you wish).I can't say whether mine are fake or not. The box, papers and headphones all match up saying that it was all done Thailand. I would say that the sound stage was very closed and SQ muddled. That's as far as I can describe it due to my limited experience in expressing what it sounds to me. Ferrite magnets For high energy and compact size; help produce ample sound output - 98 dB/mW sensitivity. I'm both a musician (bass guitar & double bass player in a symphony) and a computer engineer. I listen to music addictively since I'm self-concious and I was fortunate to listen from good sets with analog / transistor amplifiers and big, spacious high-end speakers of their era during my lifetime. Also at some point I got my hands on a Lenco high end, dual drive monitor headphones (which are my Dad's). While MDR-150V is not as powerful and punchy when driven as Lencos, Sony's diaphgram travel is more than good to prevent a big punch without distorting with is smaller 30mm drivers. If you want to listen to details of your music without coloring these headphones are an affordable way to do so but, if you are craving for colored, smooth and pleasing sound for relaxing; these headphones may not give the sound you want.

Oxygen-free copper cord for maximum conductivity, minimum noise; conducts electricity better than conventional copper. The Deseine is simple and gives a slight look pro. The matte coating prevents scratches and finger marks that kill headsets aesthetics "brilliant"Cons: Not nearly as good as the comparably priced Sennheiser HD201 headphones in terms of audio and comfort. Overall, they have a narrow closed-in sound stage and the sound is slightly muffled and muted across all ranges especially the high end. Supra-aural design rests lightly on the ear; creates a controlled environment for better sound; driver is positioned the correct distance from the ear canal. When I first plugged these into my Samsung Note 10.1 and listened to a bit of FLAC, I thought the sound quality was quite horrible so I stopped listening for a while. The details on the headphones also match up well with photos I've seen online. I guess the only way to tell for sure is to open them up (which I won't be doing for now). light weight and good insulation from the outside, the overall balance of sound (as far as we are not sending any rotten mp3 ...)
