What customers say about "Key Specs"

Sony MDR-V55 DJ Stereo Headphones

These headphones sound good, look great and have some neat design details that appeal to me.
Everything sounds good through them and they're comfy for a good 3-4 hours of use.
Amazing sound. Well worth the money. Great for the home or indoors.
I use them mostly with my electric piano and the sound is really clear.
I like these headphones, the sound is good, decent bass without being excessive, solid mids and comfortable highs.

Sony MDR-ZX310 Foldable Headphones

The sound is well balanced. You can hear different instruments and they provide a decent sound stage with a clear focus on vocals.
Strong and good quality built, good sound quality but obviously not the best as they aren’t professional or high range headphones at all.
Comfortable, good overall sound quality, doesn't feel cheap.
They're brilliant, great sound quality, barely any leakage and they sit well on my head and ears.
The bass is clear, but not overpowering. If you do like strong and bass-heavy sound, then these headphones are not for you.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sony MDR-V55 DJ Stereo Headphones

Portability is excellent as they fold up neatly.
There are 10 different sizes which go from very small to HUGE!
They are a bit small in size no real noise cancellation and the wire is always too short.
The only thing I didn't like was the size. My head is small and they are rather BIG.
A bit big for my head size without adjusting them to to be more loose.

Sony MDR-ZX310 Foldable Headphones

The headphones feels very sturdy and look stylish. They fold up to a reasonable size.
They fold down into a smaller size, perhaps the size of a baseball. Very happy with this product.
Build quality is impressive considering the price and they fold up easily and into a pretty compact size.
Great that you have position them for a safer transport and adjustable for all head sizes.
They are light-weight, but can get a little uncomfortable on adult sized ears, if worn for a long time (a couple of hours plus).

What customers say about "Features"

Sony MDR-V55 DJ Stereo Headphones

I love the look of these headphones and they have a very useful size adjustment feature.
One of the best features of these, is how small they fold up to store them.
All the features are great - single flat cord, comfortable, fold-up design and amazing sounds.
They are also very stylish, and feature a tangle-free flat cord.
These headphones add extra bass, and there is unfortunately no choice as to whether you can turn such a feature like this off.

Sony MDR-ZX310 Foldable Headphones

They do a reasonable job of excluding background noise given they have no noise reduction feature.
The short cable is great for use with a phone to listen to music etc. as it doesn't get tangled and you don't have to could miles of it into a pocket.
The cord is cleverly anti-tangle, too. I love these for doing a good job for almost no money.
The headphones pack away neatly and this is probably one of the best features as I don't worry about them breaking when I put them in my bag.
Inline remote control would be the only missing feature, but i knew this when i purchased.
