    these headphones have a good sound quality with nice but not overpowering bass. I got them about two years ago and use them nearly every day and they're still in basically new condition. They're quite cheap at less than £20. However, even at medium volume levels the sound leaks a lot. So if you were listening to music on a bus with them basically everyone could hear what you were listening to, even the words.
    I wouldn't buy these headphones again, they are very big and become uncomfortable after a while.

    Unfortunately I found these Sony MDR-XD200 headphones quite bad. Let me explain.

    In my household we have the T.V and the PC in the livingroom. No problem I thought I'll buy a set of heddy's and whilst the missus watches Eastenders I can watch some vids on Youtube.

    Nope, not with the Sony's I couldn't. Although the headset is light and comfy they are made of cheap plastic that creeks whilst you where them but thats not the worst of the annoyances. I found that any sort of outside noise was almo ...

    Bought my Sony MDR-XD200 as a emergency set as I'm a DJ.

    They are "OK" for reference and studio use.

    They are "Good" for DJ use.

    They are "Great" for less than 20 quid.

    They look more sturdier than they feel but they're not fragile.

    Do I like them? Yes

    The flex into the jack plug looks vunerable to break internally.

    The headband gets uncomfortable after long use as it does not have padding. But the bonus is that it doe not get sweaty under there either.

    The earcups have nice padding outs ...

    Used these Sony MDR-XD200 headphones for about a year or two. They are ok headphones, but could use a more true sound. Good for DJing, bad for listening to music seriously like classical and experimental electronic where you want to hear every sound involved.

    I would rcommend Sony MDR-XD200s to anybody. If you are looking for a pair of cans that have a very respectable sound quality but at a very cheap price then you can't go far wrong with these. The build quality is more than adequate but they lack the "weighty" feel of more expensive headphones. The bass is good but not over-powering whilst the top end is crisp. It takes quite a bit of volume before the sound starts to distort, but if you listen to any sound at that volume for too long it wouldn't ...

    I generally get an idea of how somethings is going to sound by the look and price, when I plugged these in I was quite suprised they sound alot better than they look

    I own a pair of 50quid technics headphones that are about the same size - if you want to hear that quality but cant afford 50 then you wont be ripped off with the Sony MDR-XD200.

    Nice clarity and good bass level. No distortion at high volume. Good value for money. Overall very pleasent to listen to and great for a cheap set of headphones. Uncomfortable after long use. Feel and look slightly cheap. However due to the good points I well recommend Sony MDR-XD200 headphones.

    For the price these are good. I liked the wide earpads. I liked the punch of the sound, and they are quite responsive. I did like the fact that the higher end sounds were noticeable and that the bass does not smother everything, yet it is a good thumping base. Only real niggle, the difference between the music switch and the movie switch, does not leap out and knock you between the eyes. I have one or two other good heaphones, but will enjoy using these.

    I think the Sony MDR-XD200 are a Cheap, comfy fit and good enough for basic listening of music and computer games. Seem good build quality and dont feel like they are going to break easily. Not quite pro, but what do you expect for this price? For that you dont quite get the bass some audiophiliacs may be looking for.

    The Sony MDR-XD200 have a very good bass and a good quality of sound. I also think they are value for money. The only bad points are that I cant tell the difference between movie and music mode. Overall, very good.

    THe Sony MDR-XD200 are a fantastic pair of headphones for the price and I would certainly buy these again. You'll also hate normal earphones after you try these headphones because of the sheer power when connected to a PC.

    I've used many headphone speakers and these are probably among the best. The XD200s are tough (and believe me, I know... I once fell asleep while they were still on) and you'd be hard pressed to break them. The sound-mode switches actually work, though I would've liked a bit more noticeable difference between the two. Great for music. Equally good with computer, Hi-Fi systems and other audio devices.

    When I bought the Sony MDR-XD200's I thought it would have a sound control on the wire to adjust the volume, I was wrong.
