Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

No other sub-$20 set comes close -- heck, no sub-$50 pair comes close. These aren't high-end audiophile headphones, but they sound good.

The uncushioned headband is more noticeable than i might have suspected.

There is no obstruction from excess cushioning to undermine the sound quality. The padding sufficiently provides comfort around your ears, but leaves the interior open to accept direct sound. However, the interior tends to get warm after a while, and ... Read More

These sony's imho are great for it. They're very durable and block out sound nicely as well.

Sony produces quality products, very much understanding human-machine interactions. I feel that sony surely knows what they're doing, and have outperformed the rest again.

Cons

Sony cd-180 is a very unimpressive headphone, even at (dollar amount) the sound quality isn't as good as most headphones out their, the sound sounds muffled with too much bass. They have too much bass that drowns out everything else and no treble at a... Read More

Well, it [stinks]. But it can be fixed. A gigantic waste of money. The sound level is terrible and flucuates and sometimes even loses sound altogether.

Quality

Sound quality is very good, with all frequencies well-represented.

The sound quality is quite clear and warm - once used for about a week.

However, there are plenty of more expensive headphones that have these same failings without the quality delivered so they are ... Read More

I can only listen to a few songs with the studio headphones before i'm done.

Price

They have always been comfortable and well performing, and i thought the price was great too.

The price is the most outstanding quality; because the comfort and sound are what you would expect from a $100 pair.

Overall, for the price, they're fine for the average user, but someone who wants perfectly crisp sound quality would be better ... Read More

People are rating these headphones against products that cost 2-4 times as much and wonder why they don't sound as good.

Competitiveness

I use these now over my professional sennhieser headphones.

These aren't high-end audiophile headphones, but they sound good and have been nearly indestructible in the 15 or so years i've owned them.

Ok, if you were looking for a $200 pair of top-shelf headphone, you wouldn't even be looking here.

They were a pair of sony's and they recently became unusable after an unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on perspective) incident.
