Description
These Sony headphones are lightweight, economical, and comfortable. The MDR-101LP stereo headphones have an adjustable, overhead headband which allow you to fit them perfectly to your head’s shape. The open-air design removes undesirable resonance by allowing outside air to pass through the headphones; the result is a better sounding headphone. The thirty millimeter drivers deliver deep bass. The Sony Acoustic Turbo circuit is included for high efficiency; it gets high sonic output from your portable stereo, and extends bass response. Put together, these two features help counter the tendency of headphones to sound cheap and bass-low. The long, one meter (3.3 feet) Y-style cord allows for ample movement and separation from the sound source.

Overall conclusion: Good sound quality but very short cable. Please consider the cable length which can bother you espically when using it on your computer.
These are SUPER. First, Sony -- enough said. They are VERY lightweight. I often forget I have them on, so when I am going for long hours, these are so easy. They have nice long slid adjustments so they will fit any head in comfort.
But comfort means nothing if you are getting muffled or distorted sound. Not that case. I love is the deep, rich base, yet the treble is pure, too.
So these are more than worth the price, giving you real comfort and sound for pennies.
The good news is that the sound quality is excellent. Sony headphones always seem to have more punch than other Koss, RCA, Panasonic, and other brands of headphones. The bass and treble are clear, and bass is pretty deep as other $6 headphones I've tried. I would have enjoyed the headphones that came with my player (SLSV570), but they were uncomfortable, and I mean VERY. These are pretty comfortable and lightweight, as the box explains.
The bad news is the overall durability of these headphones, which is a big minus. I've been though two of these, yet the third ones haven't broken yet at all (keeping my fingers crossed).
The price is very reasonable and very cheap, and I wouldn't have a problem buying another pair, because of their cheapness.
Overall, these headphones add a punch to your music, and the volume is loud for those quiet CD players.
