Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

These headphones are in Sony's CD Series, and for good reason. The closed type headphones were designed for quality listening. Closed type headphones keep outside noise transfer to a minimum, keeping the music at the forefront of your attention. The aura-nomic design conforms to the ear's anatomy, providing lasting comfort and sound quality by matching the earpads to head and ear anatomy. Another key feature to the MDR-CD580 headphones is the self-adjusting, double-banded headband; with this advancement in headband functionality, you are sure to achieve the best possible fit. The headphones have a large padded headband which ensures the headband's comfort, even over long periods of use. To top off Sony's attention to comfort, the MDR-CD580 headphones have replaceable, cloth earpads which are comfortable next to the skin.

Sony has installed several key features to these headphones to make their sound quality excellent. With the PET diaphragm and the large, forty millimeter driver, the MDR-CD580 headphones will deliver deep bass sound and wide frequency range. The oxygen-free copper (OFC) cord and gold-plated plugs make sure the sound is transported fully. The gold-plated treatment also helps resist corrosion and supports the headphones' high conductivity and low noise. High-power neodymium magnets allow for maximum power at a minimum size. The stereo mini-plug is straight-shaped. Finally, the OFC cord is detachable, single-sided and a full three and a half meters long (11.5 feet), plenty long to conduct your listening business far from the sound source.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound!, October 14, 2004
For the price, these can't be beat! I anticipated good sound coming out of our regular stereo system, but the fact that these give great sound from an ordinary portable CD player is a plus. Couldn't be happier!


Update [05/29/2007]: Still going stong - still great sound - after almost 3 years [October 2004]!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound, Extremely Comfortable, February 11, 2004
By Gordon Bombay (Philidelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
These are awesome headphones that can easily handle all the output of any portable device. There is a fair amount of sound deadening on these headphones for i can barely makeout what people say when the volume is off, but when the using at high volume sounds and lyrics are audible across my small dormroom. These are easily the most comfortable over ear headphones i've ever tried. They play smoothly throughout the entire frequency range playing anything i listen to such hip-hop, pop, rock, and classical. These are full-size over-ear headphones but effectively do what they are intended to do. They also seem to be holding up well but i've only had them for a month in which they've been used daily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased, February 18, 2003
By Justin Gray (madison, WI) - See all my reviews
I have been using poor headphones for awhile, so I decided to go out and buy a half-decent pair of cans. For the $.. range, the Sony's are very nice. They have a good padding design in the phones that keeps them extremely comfortable. Sound quality is soooooo nice compared to my old P.O.S. phones... I tried out some Sennheiser HD500's along with another Sony pair and these and comfort wise and sounds wise these are just great. Also, they do get very loud compared with the HD500's who didn't get even 75% of the volume of these phones. I would definitely recommend them to anyone with a semi-budget who wants a comfortable pair of phones.
