Studio Monitor SeriesHeadphones 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.

Summary: Dull and muffled.
Comment: 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.

Summary: Inexpensive But Better Than My Expensive Headphones
Comment: These sound better than my Koss Pro 4AA's which I paid $100 for, and sound almost as good as my Bose Triports. I went through 3 pairs of Bose Triport headphones before giving up on them. They are incredibly flimsy at the swivel joints on each ear; each broke after about 3 months of use just putting them on and off my head, and I don't have a big head. I'm not a kid and I take care of my stuff, not abusing them at all. The Koss heaphones are VERY heavy and do not have the full sound that these have. I picked up a pair of these Sony's at Walmart for a quick fix and they turned out to be great -- light, good sound, inexpensive, robust. These I've dropped several times and they are fine.

Summary: Great for iphones
Comment: I tried headphone after headphone and had about given up on finding a pair I liked for my iPhone (1g), then I tried these and was amazed. I head nuances of music I had not heard with any of the other headphones (both over the head and earbud). They also have more volume range than the others, allowing lower listening levels without maxing out the volume control. I know some have complained about the fit, but they feel very comfortable to me. Give them a try and see what you think. You may be surprised like I was. (And a great price on Amazon!)

Summary: They don't sound good and they don't feel good. Basically just bad.
Comment: I'm something of a music freak on a very tight budget. This, in combination with the fact that I was in a hurry to get a new pair and didn't do my homework, is why I shelled out 28 bucks for these V150's.
What can I say? They stink. Since these are on-ear instead of in ear, comfort is going to be less than the circumnaural type, but these are especially bad, with an extremely tight fit that renders them painful after about 10 minutes, especially if you wear glasses. Even worse than this is the shamefully poor sound quality. I don't mean the obvious "they don't sound as good as $200 phones", I mean "they're really, really bad even for the $20 range." Undefined bass and incredibly muddy-sounding mediums and highs are what we're talking about here. I was literally stunned when I first tried them out. I've had dollar-store phones with better clarity. The biggest waste of my money so far this year. I'm still kicking myself. Please, please don't buy these headphones. If you truly don't care about quality, go get a pair at your local dollar store, they certainly can't sound worse. But if you want some cheap headphones with good quality, go for something hugely better in the same price range, like the Sennheiser HD201's, or heck, even the somewhat mediocre Sony MDR -XD100's.
