Strength:
These headphones provide very good sound especially when you consider the price. These are by no means top quality but they are very reasonable headphones. I have had a pair for more than 10 years. And I must point out these have been very well used. The only thing I had to do is replace the ear pads. These are light and comfortable and surprisingly to me I must recommend these. I have Bose and sennheiser headpones and the Sony’s do not compare in quality but they are not going to as they cost 10th of the price. If you want a basic entry level, well made, durable and reasonable headphones. Buy them Weakness:
Wish they would go a bit louder, being honest that’s the only comment i would say. Don’t get me wrong that’s just a wish. Great for the money Price Paid: 20
Purchased: New
Model Year: 2000

- Cable can be bit short for PC users since its 1.0m
The previous reviewer I believe was very harsh to these headphones. It's obvious that the higher price you pay for headphones the more you are likely to get but for me this purchase was the best I'd ever done. I bought these from Argos in the summer of 2000 because I had a walkman that used similar headphones and I liked the type they were, open-air, lightweight yet defined. I used to use a Goodmans portable CD Player to listen to my CD's, it wasn't amazing but it did the job ;) I brought these home thinking I would get the same sound as with my other headphones which were broken :(
Customer Service Never used it so cant comment on it, sorry Similar Products Used: I tried the Sony DJ line MDR-V150 but I've found it has too much midbass and it seriously lacks upper-end treble. I also tried the Sennheiser HD201 which are a really good pair of headphones also but lack the warm sound of the 101LP's and have a slight distant sound. |

Strength:
Cheap
Weakness:
Inaccurate sound, low efficiency, flimsy These Sony headphones are cheap to buy - but they're just as crappy as most of the headphones that come packaged with Walkman players. The MDR-101LP suffers from boomy mid-bass, no deep bass whatsoever, recessed lower mids, harsh upper mids and lower treble, nonexistent high treble... blech! (Nope, I didn't use any bass boost whatsoever when I tested these headphones.)And forget about using these headphones with newer portable players - you'll have to turn up the volume all the way to maximum just to hear them at a comfortable volume. Other, more expensive, better-sounding headphones are louder than this pile of s***! Similar Products Used: Sony MDR-201LP, crappy headphones supplied with portable audio gear |
