Better than earbuds. 
2008-04-15
These headphones produce quality stereo sound while being durable and easy to wear. These take the place of those rotten earbuds that refuse to fit my small ears.
Overall sound good for the price.

For around ten bucks, these headphones sound good, are probably better than the cheap low-quality ear buds that came with your MP3 player or phone, and are a good value. However, if you truly want much 'higher end' sound that will enable you to hear every nuance and detail in your music (with much improved bass), and that will 'knock your socks off', check out slightly more expensive quality models like the 'AKG K26P' or 'AKG K27i' or the 'Sennheiser PX-100' or 'PX-100W' cans (headphones). You won't believe how great music can sound on your portable player spending just 30 to 50 bucks on better 'cans'!
Phillips HL-150 headsets 2007-12-21
These headsets are comfortable and sound good. They appear to be more rugged that the other headsets I've owned, as those have had tiny cables that break very easily. These use heavier cables, I'm very satisfied with them.
Low price great sound 2007-02-22
My first pair lasted a few yrs of hard use, so I just orderd 2 pairs. If u hav an MP3 player throw away the ear buds and get these. Good base, good rich sound and loud. Very comfortable I can wear them all day at work, and they stay on my head wen I bend over. If ur on an airplane their more than adequate, sound better than my $50 Aiwa noise canceling headphones.
Good product. 2007-01-10
The sound quality is very good.It's very comfortable to wear it.Sometimes when I take it off and leave it around my neck,my hair gets stuck by the folded part,but it depends how long the back of your hair is.It's still a good product.
Good, Light Weight, Portable and Inexpensive 2007-01-06
Whether in homes, factories, offices, airports, or on the street, it's hard to imagine a place where Philips is absent. What Philips wants is to make your life and work easier - and more fun! And Philips continuously explores new ways to improve products and to offer innovative products to its consumers. Philips. "Let's Make Things Better".
And here I thought it was only my particular set 2006-10-27
I had my Philips HL150 headphones for something like 1-2 years before something strange started happening. If you read any other review before reading mine, you can probably guess what that "strange thing" is; that's right, the right output of the headphones began to stop working.
Now, I am not the kind of guy who abuses my products. As a matter of fact, I own several products that are over 5+ years old yet still working perfectly. Nonetheless, the right output of the headphones (which I valued greatly due to my intense love for music) began to give out for no reason what so ever.
At first, it was easily fixed by me tapping on the right side a little but recently, even that method stop working. Now, no matter what I do, it will no longer work correctly. Sure, the left output still works but really, listening to only one output is unbearable.
Now I had thought it was only my particular headphones but reading all of these other reviews, I realized that it's a trend with this particular headphones. Kind of sad since I never really figure Philips for creating shoddy products.
Nonetheless, despite the horrible durability, I do personally think the headphone sound quality is very good. Additionally, the volume can go very high. The headphones lack good bass but I had thought the clarity was very good which was why I gave this product 3 stars. It lost 2 stars for bad durability and poor bass.
Overall, one can get something much better than the HL150 nowadays for a mere $10 more. Years ago, I would recommend these because they last long enough for only $10 but now, I highly recommend something else. I suggest that anyone looking for some headphones should try out some Sennheiser headphones (especially Sennheiser HD201 and HD202). For only a little bit more money, you can get something much better.
these are pieces of crap..

i just bought these in january here it is june and they popped about a month ago. static for bass, i paid [...]at target and i admit that its not a great sum but still there should be a bettr buy than this. i hate the sony brand, but it looks like i'll be buying them again soon. oh yea, the silver and grey is turning like a brownish yellow, wtf??
Relatively good headphones 
2006-03-28
I have owned these headphones for about 1 year and 2 months. The right side started giving out a couple weeks ago, so I bought another pair.
These are nice headphone for the price. The sound quality is good. They are also comfortable on my ears, not too tight with adequate padding.
I like to keep a pair of headphones at work and with these, I don't have to worry about them being stolen. I use a nicer pair of headphones at home, but if you are looking for an inexpensive pair of headphones where you won't care too much if they break, are lost, or stolen, these are the perfect pair.
Piece of crap 2006-03-03
I bought these for my daughter after she received an iPod for Christmas. She liked that they could be folded and put in her purse when not in use. However just a little less then a month after buying them it started to lose sound in the right side. We thought it was just a fluke and returned them to Target on 2/11 and replaced them with the same thing. Well here it is March 2 and it's already done it again. We're taking them back tomorrow and getting something totally different. I would skip these entirely, they're not worth the headache.
