I've owned a pair of the sony mdr-v150 monitoring headphones since I started college (dude....06-07 what?!) and I still love em. Indestructible and with sound quality to rival all those skullcandies and 'beats by dre' the younguns frequent these days. But beyond that, the point of my review is to review these badboys. To keep it simple, they're basically the smaller, lighter, and more portable friendly version of the v150 which is always a major plus. My only gripe with the v150 (if there were any at all) is the long cable and fair density that it has. Of course that didn't stop me from taking it anywhere, I'm just glad I managed to grab the zx100's for their portability factor.
Specs: the box really speaks for itself and if you've ever tried the v150's, you're basically getting the same quality audio: clear, crisp, tons of range, and very balanced bass. I love good bass and these guys deliver without being overpowering. As some of the other reviews noted, very natural bass.
The design is great: modern and a little bit more shapely for a modern look. I'm a little bummed they got rid of the swivel cups but that bummer was just about rectified by the outward rotation that allows them to lay a lot flatter (great for throwing in a bag or something). I actually prefer this over collapsible style that most earcup headphones approach portability with these days as laying it flat distributes the stress more evenly when pressed on. A little bigger when carrying around but that also means less chances to break it. Well done, sony.
The color schemes are not too special: I got the white ones but they're available in standard black too (duh). I was actually kinda bummed because like....an onyx gray would have been awesome....oh well. White stands out and looks pretty sharp.
Anyway to sum it up, these guys are nice. And with a price tag similar to its high quality brother, they're definitely a no brainer. I think any audiophile can enjoy these as much as any casual music nut. Sony does it again!...

I bought a pair of Sony V6's to listen to music at home, and then broke something like my fifteenth pair of earbuds. So I thought: Hmm. What to have -not- break. Someone suggested buying a pair of headphones instead of IEM's, and I was in a target one day ruiing the loss of my earbuds and bought these. It's been three weeks or so, and so far I've noticed a couple things:
-The earcups fold flat, which is mainly why I got them [more portable!]. This makes a massive difference in portability. It is awesome.
-Sound is not as good as my V6's, though usually I am on a train, so whatever. They're better than the Skullcandy 2XL's that I was replacing like Pez ... when I can hear them. Which isn't very often, but eh.
-The strap and pads get uncomfortable for me after about an hour of use. It's extraordinarily annoying, and I'm considering buying a new pair as a result of this particular feature [was looking at the PortaPro but I think I need a noise canceling phone, sadly, which pushes the price up a bit high].
Overall: decent headphones, obviously they're $15 so they're not great, but they do good enough. My pair hasn't broken yet and I drag it with me 5 days a week in a bag, where it's crushed ("") by an iPad, book, folder, and apple wireless keyboard, and then I yank on it to get it out even when it's stuck. So they're probably doing -something- right....

Pros:
These have a lot of features you wouldn't expect in a pair of $20 headphones. The phones swivle forward 90°. The 30mm drivers are better with bass than most headphones of this price. And as ridiculous as it may seem, the little red stripe on the right side is really useful in figuring out which way to put them on.
Cons:
The fidelity is absolute crap. I will never understand the modern obsession with bass. Sony has focused exclusively on bass in these headphones while completely ignoring treble. Audio that would sound fine in most headphones sounds horrible in these. You can bring these up to passable by boosting the treble, but if you're using a device that has no EQ control beyond bass boost they're going to sound very muffled
The insulating pads. These are purely aesthetic. What the heck is the point of studio-style insulating rings on a pair of over-ear headphones too small to fit AROUND the ear? All these really accomplish is to press against your cartalige and add to an already muffled sound. This is going to be particularly painful for those who wear glasses.
Finally, these are just really uncomfortable. Unless you have an abnormally small head, these are going to be very tight and there is no padding on the band. I can't use these for more than half an hour before I start getting a headache.
Conclusion:
In spite of the low price, these just aren't worth the money. You're paying an aweful lot for the brand. In the end, these were designed for a quality look, not a quality sound and feel. If you need some new phones and you've only got $20, you'd be better served by a pair of high-end ear buds....
