Features:

Open-air design negates undesirable resonances for clear sound, allows outside sounds to pass through headphones
30 mm diameter drivers deliver deep bass
Sony Acoustic Turbo circuit enhances low-end response
Highs good, doesn't play loud enough, poor bass response
I had 2 pocket mp3 players (one's an ipod and the other a $15 cheapo) and the Sony's didn't play loud enough on either of them. On both of these mp3 players I hand the volume cranked full blast and they still weren't loud enough with downloaded non-released live music. The Sony's do play plenty loud enough on an AM/FM walkman radio setup. I bought a pair of AKG k24p's for about $29 (this includes shipping) and the sound has better balance, way better bass response, is fuller, richer, and more detailed. They also play a lot louder (are more efficient). For the price the sony's are probably among the best (They are the best I've heard in the price range and the high's are very good).Most of the other cheap headphones (and one expensive pair) I've ...

Good deal
Good sound, reasonable price. Would recommend Sony MDR-101LP Overhead Headphones with 30 mm Drive Unit to anyone who does not need an extra long cord.
Good sound but very short (less than a metre!) cable.
The sound quality of the headphone is very good but I was very disappointed since the cable was so short (around 36 inches/ 90cm). I was struggling to hook it upto your computer and sit properly on the chair. Infact I could only use it either on a portable CD player or sitting on the floor near my PC to be able to listen music through it! Also, please note that although the headphone is of Sony brand, it is made in China and not (as I thought) Japan.
Overall conclusion: Good sound quality but very short cable. Please consider the cable length which can bother you espically when using it on your computer.
Sony for this price???
I used ReadPlease - a super program that reads back anything you past into it - to edit my novels. I enjoy the headphones because it keeps me focused. I was using the earbud styles (...)and running through them because they just too flimsily made. Plus, when you are editing for 13 hours straight having the buds in you ear begins to make me feel like I have earaches.
These are SUPER. First, Sony -- enough said. They are VERY lightweight. I often forget I have them on, so when I am going for long hours, these are so easy. They have nice long slid adjustments so they will fit any head in comfort.
But comfort means nothing if you are getting muffled or distorted sound. Not that case. I love is the deep, rich base, ... Read More
Bang For Your Buck!
Well, I needed some new headphones. I tried the UR5 from Koss. The sound quality was alright, but they could BARELY be heard. I found these, thinking Sony, would make headphones with better and louder sound. I was right.
The good news is that the sound quality is excellent. Sony headphones always seem to have more punch than other Koss, RCA, Panasonic, and other brands of headphones. The bass and treble are clear, and bass is pretty deep as other $6 headphones I've tried. I would have enjoyed the headphones that came with my player (SLSV570), but they were uncomfortable, and I mean VERY. These are pretty comfortable and lightweight, as the box explains.
The bad news is the overall durability of these headphones, which is ... Read More
