SONY MDR-V150 - Headphones
You may laugh but I have been using my headphones since 1997. Anyone
familiar with Sheldon Cooper in the Big-Bang and his ' spot ' on the
sofa will appreciate the significance of having something just right.
I have tried so many headphones but none have ever provided the right
sound. So odd but without these headphones I really cannot enjoy
listening to anything. They are light, and give a balanced sound
across the whole spectrum. Too many headphones are too tight on the
head, clasp the ears and prevent me hearing other noises going on
around me. Are way too bass oriented or just are crappy. Some have
little annoyances like the headphone lead being too short or too long.
But these headphones are just perfect. So I was gutted when after
just twenty years the wire at the 'v' junction snapped off. I mean
what are they like... seriously, almost brand new. Anyway I have a
new pair and the quality is almost the same and they need breaking
in like a pair of shoes. But they will do.
Sad day but hey, nothing lasts for ever.
Not my words.. I would have just said they were good headphones
