  • Sony MDR-CD180: The Indestructible Headphones

    Jun 11 '02
    Pros: indestructible, light, blocks out external sound really well, excellent sound quality
    Cons: cord extremely long, blocks out external sound really well, big

    Summary: I'm murder on headphones. I've tried the ultra expensive super dooper do everything kind and the mega cheap while I'm in the Dollar Store I may as well get these type and everything in between. Headphones have an unfortunate tendency to break or go on...

  • Excellent headphones for the money

    Aug 23 '06
    Pros: Light, inexpensive, and comes with plug adapter
    Cons: contoured backwards & has a 7ft cord

    Summary: I’ve been using these headphones for 4 years now and have really enjoyed them. They’re light and they seal well to your head so they muffle a lot of the background noise. The headphones weren’t very expensive so I’ve used them a lot. I figure if they get ...

  • Worth more than 20 bucks

    Sep 13 '04
    Pros: good to acceptable sound long, soft, round cord very comfortable awesome price
    Cons: sound quality isnt perfect

    Summary: If youre not an audiphile and a college student who always seems to be short on cash like me, these will get the job done. The sound quality is more than acceptable, although it has its lapses in certain situations, i can hardly noticc considering im ...

  • Perfect Work Headphones

    Jun 10 '03
    Pros: Cheap and comfortable
    Cons: High Volume Performance, Portability

    Summary: Since most of the other reviewers have commented on the performance I wanted to highlight only one t ...

  • Best Phones for the Money

    May 07 '03
    Pros: noise cancellation, good sound, PRICE
    Cons: bulky, bass not great

    Summary: For the money, there is no better set of headphones on the market.

    I tested Sony MDR CD180 against my co-worker's $80 phones and the Sony's sound was discernibly better. I bought this item from e-tronix for $15.99 and the price was right,...

  • Sony MDR-CD180 - Great Deal!

    Jul 17 '02
    Pros: Great Price, Good Sound
    Cons: Large

    Summary: Living in a house with several other people, I have been enlightened with the realization that I cannot simply play loud music whenever I want (Well, I can, but I might get yelled at). Therefore, I was recently introduced to the world of (more than $5)...

  • I Wouldn't, If I Were You

    Jan 18 '02
    Pros: Cheap, come with a long cord and a spiffy adapter.
    Cons: Poor sound quality, very poorly designed headband.

    Summary: Audio gear is a tricky topic. Everyone has different tastes for their acoustic styles, not all music is perfect on all equipment, and there is no real definition of "perfect" in this realm anyway. Being non-visual and analog, it's hard to rate the...

  • Great bang for your buck!

    Dec 06 '01
    Pros: Great sound quality for the price
    Cons: Ear cups hurt my ears (but I have a lot of piercings)

    Summary: First, I'll start this by saying that if you've never read one of my reviews, my #1 hobby is music. I have music playing almost all day while I work, etc. and enjoy it in my leisure time as well. I spend about 90% of my money on music related items,...

  • Very good low-cost headphones

    Nov 01 '01
    Pros: Good sound, long cord, low cost
    Cons: Sound distorts at high volume

    Summary: I have been using these headphones for a year and I am very happy with them. They are comfortable and they sound great. The long cord allows you to move around while wearing them. The best part is the price. I was surprised that such a great product was...

  • A sheep in wolf's clothing...

    Sep 24 '01
    Pros: Comfortable
    Cons: Sound quality, durability

    Summary: The Sony MDR-CD160 (1996-2000) and the current MDR-CD180 are low-end full-size closed headphones with circumaural (around-the-ear) pads – “pleather” for the MDR-CD160, cloth for the MDR-CD180. Frequency response of both headphones is 16-20,000 Hz....

  • Pay for what you get

    Jul 24 '01
    Pros: The Sony MDR-CD180 headphones look nice and come with a "stereo mini plug"
    Cons: The Sony MDR-CD180 headphones sound absolutely horrible.

    Summary: I purchased the Sony MDR-CD180 headphones for $24. I am nothing but displeased with the sound. I listened to the phones through my Sony DE-545 receiver in 2 channel output, and through a discman I also own. These headphones sound worse than being inside...

  • Great sound, Great Price

    Jun 06 '01
    Pros: Clear Sound, Good highs,mids,bass, low cost
    Cons: Could use a little more bass

    Summary: You can say what you want about Sony products, but for me this set of headphones is the best I have exsperenced for the price. The Mids, bass, and highs are all exceptionally clear. I hooked these up to my 3 disk changer system at home, and I couldn't...

  • NOT bad for the Price.

    May 07 '01
    Pros: Cheep, nice sound, fairly comfortable.
    Cons: They let in unwanted outside noise.

    Summary: I got these headphones a little while ago and i think they are pretty nice. I only had to spend twenty dollars on them which I felt was a pretty good price. I think that they have pretty good sound and seem to be pretty durable. These headphones are not...

  • Really Disappointing

    Aug 20 '06
    Pros: Comfort
    Cons: Sound Quality

    Summary: These headphones provide good comfort with mediocre to atrocious sound quality. I usually use these headphones to play high quality MP3s on the computer. With some audio, the quality is passable, but is exceedingly bad with most types of music. The bass

  • Sounds as good and just as comfortable as the $149 Bose Triport

    Jul 12 '06
    Pros: cheap and sounds good
    Cons: none

    Summary: I plugged this and my new $149 Bose Triport headphones into my iPod and could not tell the difference. Tried and tried. I ain't no audiophile but they sound the same to me.
