Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sony MDRV55 headphones have got to be the most attractive and well designed on-ear headphones to date. Seriously, these thing look and feel amazing. It seems like you're holding headphones that are at least twice the price. The red accents and cord only add to that "cool" appearance that everyone so often desires nowadays. Now, in terms of sounds, I would strongly recommend these headphones. They're strong in all areas. The bass really kicks in pop songs. The mids and highs are strong as well which creates a very balanced sound. The volume can reach levels that are unbearable (or at least should not be listened at to avoid each damage). Unfortunately, since they're on-ear headphones there is some sound leakage at 50%+ volume. Although this isn't ideal, it's not a deal breaker for me as the sound leakage is minimal at that. It should be expected with on-ear headphones. The sound isolation isn't perfect for the same reason. That being said, it does isolate sounds quite nicely so I don't think this should be an issue for anyone. The main issue I have with these is comfort. Let me explain what the problem is and if it should matter. The problem is derived from the curved nature of the headband. It's curved on purpose to keep the drivers together when they're not on your head. When you put the headphones on, they really squeeze tightly against your head. That's great if you're being active because they won't slip off at any cost but, on the down side, it makes your ear cartilage hurt after about an hour and a half. I was contemplating dinging a star off for this but the sound quality is truly spectacular. The actual ear cups themselves are very comfortable and plush. The headband isn't padded but it has a thick rubberized texture that makes it comfortable without the thick cushion. After an hour, I typically shift the ear cushion on my ears. It brings some relief and allows for further listening. If you don't mind taking a 15 minute break every hour and a half of listening, then you wont have problems whatsoever. I think that over time, the headband will wear in and lose some of it's tension. Once it does, this will be the greatest set of headphones. People have also complained about the short cord. Sure it's short, but it's no shorter than any of the ear buds I own. The length is perfectly fine and if needed you can buy an extension for next to nothing. This is a great buy!

I would recommend these to anyone!!! they are wonderful!

It has been about a month and he hasn't complained.

When compared to other more expensive models these headphones definitely held their own.

I enjoy them especially indoors. They are a great value for the price.

Light weight and great sound for the money. Sounds better than beats in my opinion

Loved. It is pretty good listening to songs and conversation

These sounded good but were very uncomfortable to wear.

I use them all the time I would definitely recommend them!

Better than BEATS. I really do like these headphones.

GREAT HEADPHONES FOR A 10 YEAR OLD! SOUND QUALITY IS GOOD!

Good choice for stationary use at a desk or just listening.

The best deal out there for the price. Excelent value..

I love these! Great value for the price! Must buy!

I recommend the product. It isn't bad but it could be more comfortable. I would recommend spending a little more money for a little more quality. But decent product.

Omg the sound quality on these were horrible. I gave em a try and its like listening to music on the old school head phone that came with ur walkman

they distort when you turn them up, so it's not a good thing when your in a loud place and you can't have them up

For the price you pay for these, they are definitely nothing special. They have no real 'thump'. No real "anything" actually. Frankly for the price, one should be overwhelmed with outstandinding quality. At the very least, I was noticeably and disappointedly UNDERwhelmed. I've had better-sounding $20-a-pair headsets.

I love the design of these headphones, they're comfortable and are good for dj's that don't want to throw them on just to beat match. They also don't have any plastic on top which can break while putting them on like my last pair. The sound is good, really really good if you consider the price. As far as durability goes I'm not sure since I haven't had them for long but if they last they're the only headphones I'll be buying from now on

This product would be a good repeat or something I would recommend to friends.
