I'm currently on my second pair of MDR-201 headphones and will be ordering another pair soon. For the low price that these go for, you get a sturdy set of headphones that are comfortable and sound good. I find they last 2+ years with heavy office use. I've tried other budget headphones from other companies (Yamaha, Aiwa) but in most cases they fell apart almost immediately. Also, for those of you out there who've been blessed with a humongous noggin like I have, these are the headphones for you - they fit even my 7 5/8 size head comfortably. The 1-sided cord is also great for avoiding tangles when using the phone. They're well-designed and a great value.

I've gone through about half-a-dozen pair of these same 'phones for the last 4 years; I wouldn't think of using any other set while on the move! They're the surest way to wring every last little drop of fidelity from any walkabout stereo, pricey or cheap. I've tried it on an inexpensive Awai, and one of Panasonic's expensive "Shock-Wave" cassette players. These 'phones make either sound terrific.

maybe for this cheap price range this pair is one of the best you can get. However, since it is a single cord.. sometimes the right side stops delivering sounds.. But all u have to do is to replug it into your computer.. anyway.. not a bad deal.

My old standard Sony headphones broke while I was on a road trip, and I came across these. They were cheap enough that I didn't have to worry about making too big of a dent in my money. However, I don't think the sound quality is all that great, and wouldn't recommend them to serious listeners.
