If you’re looking for a step up from the ear buds that came with your iPod or other music player, but without paying too much, the Sony MDR-V150 may be just what you are looking for.

These are very inexpensive headphones, but deliver a much improved sound quality. The MDR-V150s have a larger range of sound and lower impedance when compared to ear buds. That means you get a much richer sound, and a much "bigger" sound, without having to crank the volume up too high.

These headphones also come with both a stereo mini-plug, for your iPod or equivalent, and a detachable phone plug for your home audio. So you can use the same headphones when you are at home and when you are out with your portable player. Both are gold-plated to make sure sound is delivered fully and accurately.

All in all, you get an exceptional package for a very low price. Definitely a worthwhile investment if you are still using the headphones that came with your player.

The Deal: Get your Sony MDR-V150 Monitor Series Headphones from Amazon for just $15.26.
