4.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for
These are pretty good actually. Slightly larger than regular portable headphones, they have a nice, deep sound. They're as comfortable as wearing nothing at all (I use them for periods of 4 hours in a row or more.
What the previous reviewer said about low output volume -- not true. I use these on my computer at the office, and they can blast my eardrums out if I...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best in sound quality
I thought I was getting the same quality with these pair of headphones like I did with its similar model (MDR-201) that doesn't have the in-line volume. The design is the same but the sound quality stinks. The other pair of headphones I had was not available any more so I decided to purchase these. The design is the same, length of cord the same, but the sound was not. I...

This review is from: Sony MDR-201V Overhead Headphones with In-line Volume Control (Electronics)

The design is the same but the sound quality stinks. The other pair of headphones I had was not available any more so I decided to purchase these. The design is the same, length of cord the same, but the sound was not. I tried to mess with the volume control on the cord and the device, but still got bad sound. Some of the tones you couldn't hear. You can hear the different pitches of music which wasn't good. It wasn't a clean cut of listening music at all. The reason why you buy headphones is for the sound, this one doesn't cut it. I don't recommend this product at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY IT, August 28, 2003

I can not believe this is a Sony!

When I connect it with my portal cd player, The sound is so sucks, and i feel the singer is so far away from me (weird?). And the volumn control can only manage a very small range.

I have a $$ Philips, which can provide much much better than this one. And I have a Sony MDR-CD280, which is a little expensive than this one ($$ from fry's), but provide much much better sound. And I have a sennheiser HD 580, nevertheless to say, it is the best among all headphones i have, but it is too expensive (about $$$).

After all, I strongly recommend u do NOT buy this thing.
