Great headphones
These are a great value high quality set of over the ear headphones. They have good cable length. The sound quality is detailed and sharp. Great for music and great for gaming if you have a sperate microphone. I do like these and I am impressed with them. Recommended.
They sound flat. They are supposed to, they’re professional studio cans.
If you love deep bass then you’ll hate these headphones. They are not bass boosted. They are designed for studio monitoring sounds. They have been used in professional settings for years, because they are great. They are comfortable for prolonged use, they have screw in locking jacks and a generous length of cable. They fold up small and come with a draw cord storage pouch. You get a lot of headphone quality for your money.
Superb Headphones!
I have a number of headphones made by different manufacturers, but this Sony professional headphones beat them all!
Sony is popular for its quality products and this item is no different from those high standard products!
Excellent quality audio
As you would expect the audio quality is excellent. The cable is not removable as with some alternatives and is a rather long coiled cable as you would expect for studio headphones. The cable has a mini stereo jack with a screw on type 1/4 inch stereo jack adaptor. It comes with a fabric head for storage. These are lightweight and comfortable.
Fantastic video editing headphones!
I’m using these for video editing in Premiere Pro and they’re super comfortable (even though I wear glasses). You can wear them on and off for hours and they remain comfortable. The 3.5mm jack plugs straight into a MacBook Pro with no issues. Editing sound and confirming levels is made easy.
The reason I gave the headphones 4 stars was because the retail packaging/box the headphones arrive in is quite bad and tears easily (outer box head wear and tear already). Additionally, the carry bag/pouch Sony includes in the box doesn’t actually fit the headphones, so it’s pointless? That said, the headphones themselves are worth the price.
Excelle
Great sound, look good, I think the build quality is excellent very sturdy, a bargain at 76. I’ve had beats and bose and the best headphones I had especially for the bass was the sony mdr770bn and these ones are better, i was looking for headphones with no wireless and just wanted lossless sound. I use my bose Quietcomfort for all the other stuff but it’s nice to have old school headphones belting out. 10 out of 10 for me.
Great Value
These Headphones have been used in audio and video production for years because of their consistency decent sound and quality. For the price its a no brainer. They are not totally natural, perhaps a bit bass heavy, not a very big sound stage but decent clarity. They are also well suited for monitoring when recording vocals of Acoustic guitars as there is only a little leakage from them once they are on.
If you are starting out and want a decent pare to rely on, or if you are a pro in need of an extra pare to use on the move or to track with, look no further.
Great Headphones
Had these for a week now and very impressed with the clarity of the sound produced. Can’t go wrong with Sony. Bought them mainly for listening to music and playing guitar they excel for these application. One nice surprise was trying them on my Switch console and they pick out small sound effects that my expensive TV doesn’t. So overall I would recommend these headphones.
Perfec
Perfect.
Used for both DJing and internet broadcasting.
Very comfortable over the ears, but not for long periods (2-3 hrs) of continuous wear.
This is my third pair in about 10-12 yrs, so cannot fault them.
Perfect!
Stunning sound immediately out of the box! Clear, balanced. Really comfortable fit too.
High quality sound, but shows up poor equipme
From what I’ve seen of headphones over the years, there are two kinds:
1. Low quality, but which doesn’t pick up on hiss on quiet sections
2. High quality, but which does pick up on the hiss from computers and TVs
These headphones are very high quality, and picks up the hiss from every piece of electronics in my house. Of course, when there is some sound being produced, the hiss is too quiet to be heard anymore. It just depends if this bothers you or not.
The headphones seem robust, so far, except there are little cables connecting the speakers to the headband on both sides – time will tell how well these last.
A large part of the advertised cable length is coiled up like a traditional telephone handset. I don’t find it a problem, because I use a cable extension as well. With the coil resting on a nearby surface, I don’t notice the weight of the coil.
Best headphones you’ll get at this price
Nothing beats these as a professional engineer and producer with over 15 years experience I got these recently and they beat headphones that cost 3x the price. Not the best build quality but extremely far ahead in terms of sound quality. Pristine midrange that translates very well to other listening platforms.
Great sound
The cable is far too long for most purposes (I’d much prefer if it had been the variety that can detach also at the headphone end, allowing for the swapping out of a shorter cable when that is more convenient). But the sound is great. I use them in a computer music home studio and love the balanced clear response. Recommended
Excelle
My first pair of studio headphones and I am blown away by the sound quality. It really captures the low end to give you a solid idea of how the bass comes through in a mix.
Obviously I have not experienced sound quality this good from a pair of headphones so this is a relative opinion.
Heavily used
Used a great deal and I am very pleased with them.
I’ve used this wonderful product for over 2 years now I believe, I didn’t realise I hadn’t left a review for it.
As a voiceover artist, I initially didn’t realise how important it was to have decent headphones as I thought mine were okay quality enough but I was blown away by the level of detail and the voice I was now finally able to hear. I was EQing all wrong prior and I feel like a fool because of it, but this is just a lesson that one had to learn.
If standard smartphone earphones were at a 20% sound quality marker, and some generic overear headphones at around 50%, these pair of Sony headphones feel like a solid 100%. (Tinny monitor speakers would be the 0% mark!)
The immersion feels great and the bass is fantastic too. I have read that it can be too good at times and thinks it hears things but from my perspective I’ve not had such encounters, it must be for people who regularly produce music to notice these things, but my untrained ear struggles to perceive these minute details.
One admittance, I dropped these headphones once and one of the “ears” kind of fell off, but it was fairly easy to re-clip it back in, so I’m glad they weren’t broken or anything. So points for durability there!
I have worn these headphones for hours on end, so they’re not uncomfortable. It can get a bit hot as they are fully over-ear but only after very long sessions. I’ve never caught my hair on these so that’s a plus unlike the ones that they hand out in planes (!).
Ultimately this was a purchase from Amazon warehouse and I was very pleased, it definitely amped up my voiceover abilities and it’s something I don’t regret buying. Whilst I was researching, these tended to be reviewed as industry standard at least some time for the past decade and more. Things might have changed now but these were very popular – I just remembered during a networking event, I saw a child of a voiceover using these headphones too! They must be good and renown!
Pros:
– Great for sound-related careers
– Comfortable with size adjustments optional
– Durable
– Long cables
Cons:
– Worried one day the main wire could be damaged and since it’s fully intergrated with the body of the headphones, it can’t be replaced.
– Worried the leather-style material will wither away
