I like this headphone for the sound quality, comfort, and price. Before buying it I was a bit hesitant. Sony means quality, but the price got me a bit worried. How good can it be? For such a low price? And it's a Sony? It did not quite compute in my mind. I was wondering if I should skipped it and go shop right away for 'better' (read more costly, costing atleast twice as much) headphones.  Hmmm, and I was going to use this just for the occasionaly watching a DVD on my laptop or portable DVD<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Sony-DVP-FX930-9-Inch-Portable-DVD-Player-Black/dp/B001TCJI7E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Sony DVP-FX930 9-Inch Portable DVD Player, Black</a>. I wasn't comfortable buying a high priced headphone, so I decided to try this one out. I was surprised with the quality. I'm sure those expensive headphones must be very very good, but this one is good enough for me. I'm very happy with it.

Perhaps an alternative as a kids headphone. Our 5 year old uses it quite a bit on the portabtle DVD. We bought him one of those kids headphones (for almost the same prices). Also from Sony&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Sony-Mdr-222Kd-Blk-Childrens-Headphones-Black/dp/B00172T3Q2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Sony Mdr-222Kd/Blk Childrens Headphones (Black)</a>, but that did not turned out as good as this MDR V-150. This Sony MDR V150, costs about the same, it fits him better, and is much more comfortable. He doesn't fiddle with it as he would with the 'kids' headphone. But the Childrens Headphone does have a feature to prevent the sound to get too loud for childeren, which is a feature that the MDR-V150 does not have. For our son, I will always keep the volume on a low. Fortunately he likes it that way, and does not play with the volume, onece I've adjusted it for him. When he's using it, I will still check so now and then, just to be sure. So we don't find the volume a problem with the MDR-V150. Still that might be a feature you may want to have for your kids.
