Studio Monitor SeriesHeadphones incorporate high-end materials and advanced engineering; critically clean, exceptionally clear sound for professional and high fidelity applications. Reversible earcups enable single-sided monitoring flexibility. 30 mm diameter drive units are larger than many headphones for deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range; bass response extends down to a low 18 Hz. 500 mW power handling stands up to day-in, day-out use at high output levels. Ferrite magnets allow for high energy and compact size producing ample sound output - 98 dB/mW sensitivity. Oxygen-free copper cord assures maximum conductivity, minimum noise. It conducts electricity better than conventional copper. Supra-aural design rests lightly on the ear and creates a controlled environment for better sound. Driver is positioned the correct distance from the ear canal. Wide, molded headband distributes the headphone's weight over a wide area; reduced pressure means comfortable listening for hours on end.

Summary: OK for the price, uncomfortable
Comment: I have two main problems with these headphones:
1) They do not cover your entire ear (they smash your ear to your head and are uncomfortable)
2) The sound quality is very flat (typical to Sony; you may like this)
For the price, I think these are slightly better than average headphones. They seem well built.
Although these don't cover your ears entireley, they mash your head tightly enough that they actually block out a good amount of sound. However, no matter how I adjust them they mash my head too tightly to be comfortable for more than a few minutes...
The sound is too balanced for my taste -- I prefer a bit more 'oomph' behind my bass and treble. People like my mom -- who turn their bass down on their car stereos -- would like these headphones. They don't sound bad, they just don't sound great.
I love that they have a little nubbin on the left headphone so you don't have to look at them when putting them on...

Summary: Solid construction and great sound
Comment: I bought a set of these for my personal use at my home computer and they have really worked well. I had gone through a few other sets of headphones and most aren't as sturdy or sound as good as these. When I needed to buy headphones for my work, (computer based training) it was a no brainer to select these. I ordered four sets for our training department, and I'll update if we run into any issues, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon. I've used mine at home for about 3 years, averaging probably 10-15 hours a week and they are still working well.

Summary: Great Sound for Price
Comment: These headphones are a great value. The sound quality is impressive and they are a definite upgrade over earbuds. My music sounds fuller with these headphones and there is great bass that's not overbearing at all. they are also comfortable to wear for extended periods provided I am not wearing earrings or my glasses. I love these headphones and the price makes them an especially great purchase.

Summary: A quick warning
Comment: I've been using these headphones for about two years now, and I love them. The only problem is that I've used them so much that the vinyl covers on the ear pads have decayed. The right ear went first, and after a bit of searching I found replacement pads(part #211566701) for $4 on Sony's supply site.
I should've bought two, because now the left ear is shredded (which drastically reduces the sound quality) and Sony's site has replaced the nice cheap pad with a $14 model (part #211566702). I love these headphones, but for that price I could just about buy a brand new set.
Long story short, enjoy them while they last. They're excellent headphones for the price, but if you use them every day, the ear pads will eventually fall apart and replacements aren't worth buying.

Summary: Band Happy
Comment: I play in a Worship band at our church. We are a growing church of about 1200 and have 5 services a week. I play in 3 of them. We are always having trouble with head sets as they just don't work or break down. We decided to try these as they are not expensive. We have found we love these. I love the way the ear piece sets just on your ear. We have found they are not too tight in the head as others have stated. I am a women and other guys are wearing them too and are not having a problem.
We have long reshural during the week and an hour before each service we play. So I am not wearing them all day long, but for the time I do they are the greatest so far. I am going to buy me personal set to wear at home,as I bought these for our band. They are very comfortable.
