These are a great value if you are not looking for high quality sound. I've been using these at work for 5 years now. They are sturdy, the sound quality is fine for the price, and they come with a really long cord in case you happen to be running them under a desk into a PC.
It's not a "value" buy even at its relatively low price. Some of the bigger headphones are softer on the ears, that's sad. Sound quality is decent, but at this price and with all other flaws, it's really not enough to warrant a purchase. As others have pointed out, these headphones are incredibly frail. Two stars for the sound. Supposedly they're comfortable, but I have to disagree here. The plastic ends of the headband are so weak, you are likely to have them break just placing the headphones in the wrong position. To each his own I guess, but my ears always hurt after using them.
Overall these are better than most $35-40 headphones, but both the Koss Porta Pro and Sennheiser PX100 in the same price range are vastly more musical, lighter weight and more portable.However, the reason I keep these around is because I have never found a better headphone for TV watching or listening to spoken recordings. This is the best headphone I have found for watching TV or listening to voice.However, for music it is sibilant, harsh has too much treble. They are quite comfortable and the long cord is nice. I can make out very clearly with little strain, exactly what is being said. Bass is weak. Extremely fatiguing.I own or have owned just about every high end headphone on the market.
I listen to metal and dance music, and I could not have asked for better sound.I just wish that Sony added a volume control switch to the cord for these headphones. The Sony MDR-V300 headphones are my almost perfect pair of headphones. They are very comfortable, and the sound that comes out of them is phenomenal.
One of the better sets I've ever owned. I purchased these specifically for the 10' cord so I could watch tv in bed (Sennheiser wireless headphones did not work). I was surprised by the comfort and quality of these headphones.
