 "Excellent!" 2009-12-07
By Avishek Shrestha
These are excellent and HUGE step up from the SONY MDR-V600! The sound isolation is good and the headphones bring new life into your existing music collection. You'll hear sounds you've never heard before.



I also have the Grado SR60, and those are very good open-ear phones. These are just as good in terms of sound quality. They are also a significant step up from my previous SONY MDR-V600 (which I didn't like and the foam deteriorated quickly).



I highly recommend it. As usual, Amazon delivery was quick and arrived before my trip.

By Ken Hada (Thousand Oaks, CA)
I won't even say how great the sound quality is, the other reviews have covered that extensively. Bottom line is the sound quality is incredible. Much better than my portable Shure SE530 earphones. Compared to my friends Beats by Dre, these are just as "open" sounding regarding the soundstage. I would say the treble is much more crisp and refined, but not sharp. The bass is tighter and deeper, but overall less powerful. If you enjoy extremely high levels of bass, to the point where it muddies the other frequencies, either get a FAT amplifier and run full bass on the EQ, or buy different headphones...you don't deserve this amazing quality!



Comfort was the only thing worth noting here. The original earpads have gotten a bunch of criticism in the reviews.



When I received these headphones, I did a 10 hour burn in. When i first listened to them, they sounded average. I went online and downloaded files specifically designed for headphone break-in (white noise, pink noise, frequency range sweeps, etc.). Needless to say, after the break in the headphones rose to their true potential.



THOSE WHO DOUBT THE LEGITIMACY OF HEADPHONE BREAK-IN SHOULD READ UP! IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IF YOU ENJOY ACCURATE SOUND REPRODUCTION.



The earpads were somewhat disappointing, they seemed like some really (too) soft foam wrapped in material with the consistency of a garbage bag but thinner. It was sad and seemed very prone to tearing. It was not uncomfortable for me however, after wearing them for 2 hours or so. No sweat, ache, etc.



Despite no complaints I still decided to purchase the aftermarket beyerdynamic earpads. And wow what a difference. Bass is deeper, sound isolation improved, makes the headphones feel lighter, and much more comfortable. The material that covers the foam is excellent. I wouldn't have expected less, these new earpads are German made, the same nation that is renowned for making excellent earplugs so you can sleep on airplanes!



They cost me less than 20 dollars, and considering how long you will keep these headphones (did i mention they sound great?) it would be a wise-investment to give your ears a lounge while they are absorbing the great sounds emitted from the drivers.



DONT SECOND GUESS YOURSELF! BUY THESE HEADPHONES! $65 is a steal!

 "Poor SNR, Poor Sound, Sweaty" 2009-12-03
By Kyle Getz
-1 star for the poor signal-to-noise ratio. I plugged these guys into a couple laptops and I immediately heard a very noticable hissing noise. I still heard the hissing even after I started to play some music. I plugged in my old Sony street-style headphones and heard no hissing.



-1 star for the poor sound. It sounds like the engineers really went with a U-shape on the equalizer - the low-end and high-end frequencies are way too high. There's too much bass to the point that it's uncomfortable (and this is coming from someone who loves bass and subwoofers) and the high-end frequencies are so high the music sounds tinny. Again, I plugged in my old Sony street-style headphones and the music sounded normal again.



-1 star for the comfort. Maybe I'm not a fan of leatherette over-the-ear headphones in general, but these headphones made me ears sweaty within a few minutes.



+1 star for the design - it feels pretty solid and folds up nicely for transporting.



All in all, I can't believe these headphones have received so many glowing reviews - I think they stink.

 "Probably one of the best values in headphones!" 2009-11-29
By S. Michaelsen
I bought a pair of these to be my 'go anywhere' headphones, since my other headphones are much more expensive and stay at home (Sennheiser HD595s), and I had heard that these are built like a tank.

When I got these, that is the first thing I realized; They are built extremely well. It seems like they'd survive being thrown around in a bag or just generally used a lot. I personally know somebody who has had theirs for 10 years and they still work great!

I've heard that the coating on the ear cups flakes off (Read other reviews). Not a big deal, you can get replacements.



The sound quality on these is fantastic for all kinds of music. My other headphones (HD595s) sound slightly better if it is live music, piano music, jazz, etc. The V6s trounce the 595s when it comes to anything heavy at all (And I'm not talking super heavy here.)



The only thing I found bad about these is the fact that they are listed as circumaural (Meaning they go all the way around your ears, not just rest on them), but really, they are kind of in between supraaural (sit on your ears) and circumaural. They block out sound decently well.

If you need a great pair of headphones to take on the road or are just looking for a good pair of headphones that will last at home for probably an indefinite period of time, pick up a pair of these. The value is phenomenal!

 "Headphone" 2009-11-16
By Joseph D. Ness (San Antonio, TX USA)
Works fine. I was hoping for a little more noise filtering from the ear padding but for $15, I guess I shouldn't expect too much. It is worth the $15, tho.

 "perfect sound; 1/4 the price" 2009-11-14
By J. Wright (Santa Clara, CA)
broke my bose around-ear phones. these are slimmer and match quality. can't wait to break these to buy them again for 10% the price of my bose phones.

 "They're good FOR WHAT THEY ARE." 2009-11-08
By M. A. Lane (Seattle, WA USA)
I got these headphones about a year and a half ago. Two things to note right off the bat:





1. A year an a half ago I knew VERY LITTLE about the technical side of audio.



2. It's stupid of Sony to call these "Studio Headphones" or even "Monitor Series" headphones.





FIRST OFF, know that these are not "studio quality" by any means, and will be horrible for use in any home or project studio, even if you're just starting out. Go spend $100 on some AKG or Sennheiser phones. Spend more if you can afford it. It's an important investment. These don't provide the audio quality necessary for mixing, or the isolation necessary for tracking in the studio. I'm surprised that the specs say 18 Hz to 22 KHz. Those frequencies are DRASTICALLY and unusably attenuated, if even present at all. If you retain one sentence from this review, it should be this one: These are NOT studio headphones.



THAT ASIDE, these are acceptable throw-around, day-in day-out casual commuting headphones. Before I purchased my Yamaha HS series monitors (not the world's best monitors, but they work for me) and AKG K271 MKII headphones, I thought these Sony headphones sounded really really good. Now that I have good headphones to compare them to, they're a horrible muddy mess with a limited frequency response... but I don't really care when I'm walking along a busy, LOUD street, listening to my iPod, or when I want to pack headphones that I'm not worried about breaking and paying to replace. I'm surprised people say they break theirs all the time. They're not bullet proof... but... what the hell do you do to your headphones...? Mine have held up fine. I do prefer on ear headphones for casual listening, as they're not as huge as over ear models, and because I absolutely hate ear buds. The comfort of these are pretty decent, IMO. Could be better, but they're 20 dollar headphones.







IF THIS REVIEW IS TOO LONG, SKIP TO THIS PART.



To sum it all up, for $20 headphones these can't be beat. They're comfy enough, durable enough, small enough, and decent enough sounding for the average consumer... ESPECIALLY the consumer that only wants to pay $20 for something as important as headphones.

While by no means comparable to Sennheiser, this is a surprisingly good little headset for the money. I rate it superior to Grundig.

 "They'er "aight"." 2009-10-26
By J. Moore (San Leandro, CA)
I've owned this series of headphone for some odd reason, because they're not all that good, more than once. It's a quick fix. They're cheep, and do the job. But that's all they do.



The highs aren't high. The bass is virtually non-existent. It's only so-so high point is the mid range, which isn't all that important compared to the other two items.



The construction, as you'd expect by the price is very.. very cheep. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony started throwing these in cereal boxes for the free toy in a few years.



I have to wear glasses, and during long listening sessions (over an hour) my ears began to hurt since these are an "on the ear" headphone. I wouldn't suggest these to anyone, regardless of price, if they wear glasses on a regular basis.



I won't be buying another set. Ever.
