Review NaN of

Price Paid:  $50.00 from buy.com

Summary:
Once, when visiting CES in Vegas I’ve tried some Sony cans that look exactly like these. (Stupid me, never wrote model number down). Sound was amazing and fit very comfy. So when I found 605 on BUY.COM it was no brainer. To my great frustration 605 I got was total … no good. They simply didn’t produce anything above 8 KHz!!! Mids sound very resonant and bass causes loud claps with slight overload! What garbage! Avoid these! F.U.I – I owe original MDR-V600 that I adore.

Strengths:
none

Weaknesses:
Sound Quality

Review NaN of , from Calgary

Price Paid:  $70.00 from Sony Store...

Summary:
Overall, I like these heaphones. They feel great, don't overheat your head, the bass and mid is awesome, and the trebles are almost TOO good. Those neodymium magnets are really piercing with the treble. So just crank the bass, and tone down the trebel. Then they are perfect.

Strengths:
Amazing looks, great feel, comfort greatly excels that of closed studio monitor sonys that I've tried. Great bass, good mid.

Weaknesses:
Harshly loud treble.

Similar Products Used:
Lots of sony studio monitors... new and old senn's.... I've had a pretty wide ranging experience.
