I bought the MDR-605LP to use at work in a cubicle environment where I typically listen to vocal a cappella and jazz ensembles. Where most circumaural headphones tend to become too warm over time and eventually press my ears against my glasses, these do not interfere with my glasses and remain cool and comfortable over long listening sessions. What they lack in detail and sound stage they make up in comfort and price. Caution: MDR-605LP's are 'open air' headphones and while suitable for editing recordings (in a quiet space), they are not suitable as recording monitors since sound bleeds through the backs of the cans.

I've had these headphones for years, my old pair had a bad connection so I needed new ones. Have been looking for a long time now and was thrilled to find them again. I can wear these for hours to listen to audio books. Great price, good service. Thanks.

I found these headphones on clearance at a local grocery store here for $35. Let me just say this, the sound quality is AWESOME. It has both the big end and the little end for different players. (When using the big end, it seems to have a higher quality.) I have wanted the bose or the expensive sony headphones for a long time, but for a third of the price, these cant be beaten. The dont match up to the top of the line $150, but they are better than any standard headphone currently available on the market.
