Sony MDR-V150 Studio Headphones (Black)

Pros: Very nice sound for the price.

Cons: The headband breaks.

Summary: I used these for a year-and-a-half on my Creative Zens. I gave it an 8 because it's better than any other under-25 buck headphone I've had.

Of course the sound isn't going to match 250 buck headphones, but it's very clear and passable bass for that price range. Much better than the 14 buck Sentrys that went into the closet after a day.

The bad part is the headband. For people with big heads, one has to extend it to about it's limit, and it breaks. At the end, both sides were taped on and a pen held the left side in place. I've since upgraded to the MDR-V600 for my mp3 player, and I have an MDR-V900HD, which will soon replace the 600. I've also owned and used the 7506 a long time.
