Sony MDR-V250V Monitor Series Headphones with In-line Volume Control

Product Description

Built-in Volume control on cord / Wide, molded headset for stability and comfort / UniMatch plug 30mm Driver for each channel delivers a wide dynamic range for high-quality sound Gold-plated Stereo Unimatch(R) plug connects to traditional 1/4 component headphone jacks and 1/8 portable mini-jacks Insulated, Oxygen-Free Copper wired connecting cord provides excellent conductivity for optimal signal integrity

Amazon.com Product Description

The MDR-V250 closed supra-aural headphones provide top-end comfort and sound quality. Sony's closed type headphones allow only a limited amount of ambient noise into the ear canal, giving your attention fully to the music. The padded earcups fit comfortably, hour after hour. For those who like to use the headphones for single-sided monitoring, these MDR-V150s come with reversible earcups. The supra-aural design is engineered for excellent listening comfort. The wide headband distributes the headphone's weight evenly. The two meter cord (6.6 feet) is made of oxygen-free copper wiring and is double-sided. Installed on this cord is an in-line volume control; take care of the most essential piece of sound management with this convenient device.

Sony has installed several key features to these headphones to enhance their sound quality. The thirty millimeter drive units delivers a deep bass sound and a wide dynamic range (the frequency range extends down to 18 Hz.) Both the stereo mini-plug and the UniMatch phone plug are gold-plated to make sure sound is transported fully and accurately. The gold-plated treatment also helps resist corrosion and supports the headphones' high conductivity and low noise. Lightweight ferrite magnets allow for high power at a minimum size. Finally, the PET diaphragm works to deliver low distortion.

Excellent fit, excellent compatibility and excellent sound: these headphones fit the bill for a sound professional.

2 out of 5 stars Listening to music through a blanket.......2007-12-12

Listening to music through these headphones is like listening to music through a blanket. Everything sounds muted, the highs don't extend very far, the lows are almost non existent. Their sound is anything but clear. Dynamics? Forget about it

I'm looking for a $20ish pair of headphones to keep in my backpack at all times. I figured these might do the job...but wow was I wrong.

I found the Sony MDR-XD100, which is actually cheaper, sound much better. Did I mention the build quality sucks? The XD100s are a little more durable but still leave much to be desired. Perhaps that's just low end Sonys in general?

I'm thinking about just dropping the extra few bucks for a pair of Sennheiser PX100s or AKG K81DJs.

My main headphones are the Grado SR-80 and BeyerDynamic DT990s...I know what good sounds like. All my music is either FLAC or 192 Kbps VBR mp3s.

I'm giving these headphones a two star because I've heard worse...and much better for cheaper.

5 out of 5 stars Great headphones for a reasonable price!.......2007-11-04

These headphones are great at this price! I already have the previous model MDR-V150 which are without the volume control and I wanted one more pair for recording vocals so that the performers can individually set the volume. My only complaint is that there's a certain fatigue after wearing them for more than 4 hours! Overall, the sound is great and very well balanced!

3 out of 5 stars Not for people with big ears!.......2007-03-23

Headphones sound good, volume control is nice in-line but, they are very small. Not sized for adults, would fit kids fine, makes ears sore after some time wearing.

4 out of 5 stars My outdoor headphones of choice.......2007-01-03

These sound quite good for their price and function well both in outdoor environments and in public situations such as buses. They are somewhat heavy compared to modern ear-bud or "over the ear" designs, but can be worn comfortably for a period of several hours.

The ear-cup attachment points are somewhat fragile, but it's not a deal breaker. The in-line volume control is very useful when external noise levels change frequently, but it is somewhat vulnerable to water when the headphones are used in rainy conditions. Usually allowing the volume control to dry thoroughly (hairdryer) will correct this problem.

I'm on my fourth set of these, and the usual lifespan is one to two years with failure occurring either at the ear-cup attachment points, or due to cumulative wire pulling creating a short.

5 out of 5 stars Headphones.......2006-08-17

Item arrived quickly and in great condition. I am very satisfied with the headphones and will probably purchase another set in the near future.
