Manufacturer description
All the comfort and performance that has made the Sony Digital Reference Headphones such a hit is combined in this exceptional value model. Slip them on... and sail away to aural delight.
30 mm diameter drivers are larger than many headphones for deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range; bass response extends down to a low 18 Hz. Gold-Plated Stereo Unimatch Plug Adaptor with built-in self-cleaning feature permits use with standard 1/4" jacks on hi-fi components or stereo mini jacks on personal audio products. Screw-type design allows for a more secure connection. Gold plating maximizes contact efficiency to help prevent sound deterioration after many years of use.

Not bad, Not Awesomeby anhornd - March 19, 2006
Pros: Very comfortable I've worn them for hours at a time, Highs and Mids are clear and sound good
Cons: Not enough bass reproduction capability
Review:
When you have it up loud the highs are high but the mids and bass is not enough so the equalizer will help these headphones sound better. I think I will upgrade to MDR V600 - better sound at higher volume levels, and only $30 more.
