Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
So I have a pair of sony earbuds. The silicon ones that are very comfortable, and sound amazing! I wanted some over the ear ones for home. I am a programmer and listen to music constantly. First off, the headphones grip your head way too tight! After that, sound clarity really sucks. The range on these are not impressive. There is no feel for bass, and they're heavy. Guy i work with got the Sony MDR-v6 and they are awesome. I am taking these back to get those.

Pros:
can get loud
Cons:
everything else

Summary:
These headphones are a relic of the past. You can do much better for your money.

I bought these for dj purposes, thats about all they are good for.

Very uncomfortable and somewhat heavy for the size, they press on your ears, in an hr you'll want a massuse to rub your sore ears.

The plastic is flimsy with stress fractures appearing at 4 months around both the hinges. I eventually had to tape them together. The final straw was when one ear piece snapped off mid gig. I tried to fix it by taking the hinge apart and gluing the plastic bits together again. When I took apart the hinge, two springs popped out that just didnt want to go back into the housing. I spent about 2 hrs trying to get them back in.

The sound is loud enough for dj purposes, but for the money I spent, I expected better quality. If you are a producer, dont bother with these as the sound is not precise to the mix.

Strengths:
loud
gold plug, melt it down for some jewelry

Weaknesses:
very uncomfortable
flimsy
Inaccurate sound reproduction.

Price Paid:  $130.00 from sony centre

Summary:
i boght these when i knew nothing, for dj ing and monitoring productions in my home studio at night, i thoght they were the bizzo,--------how wrong i was,sound was good at first but, quickly deteriorated,then they fell to bit's after i gig'ed em a few times,i tried to tell sony and asked if they could fix em.and sony said
"are you Eric Morillo"
"No " i said.
"In that case,HA HA HA HA HA Ha HA HA Ha Ha HA HA HA HA hA hA hA HA hA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA" pause for breath"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, we have your money now"
i took that as a no.i now realise that these are'nt suitable for production monitoring.Beacause you end up with no bass in your production.and they fall to bit's if you gig'em and you can't fix em.Which render's them useless.hence th new low price of 80 squid's but if you can find 80 squid's willing to give up there live's for some wink headphone's then your either a marine biologist/dj or king neptune.

if you want some production monitoring headphones that are flat and show up anything wrong with a mix,buy some sennheiser hd600's if you want some field monitoring/dj head phones(why you'd want to monitor a field i don't know)get some HD 25's they last forever and ever,they were desighned by ancient hebrews you can trace em back to the old testement which is why there still dear

Strengths:
you can throw em over 600 yards,
you can knock out a cow from 600 yards with em.
you can tell birds your eric morillo's tour manager and these are his spare set
still covered in sweat "you wanna lick some morillo sweat?"it's okay cos the're broke anyway.
you can knock out a sony service centre manager with em from 600 yards for laughing at you..
you can suss out a winker Dj (from a real one)who want's to be eric morillo.
you can knock knock him out fom 600 yards with em.
you can knock his groupie cow out from 600 yard's too moooooooorillo brillo.
they look cooooooool in the bin.

Weaknesses:
they don't quite fit up a sony service centre's manager's arse.
if they were wedge shaped you could use them as a door stop.
you ca't trow em 700 yards.

Summary:
I purchased these headphones because I am so happy with my MDR-150 headphones for using on my computer - for $19.95 they are killer headphones.
However, for my home system I wanted to move up in performance so I purchased this set of cans. I am very pleased with the sound of the headphones. Yes, they are a bit more money, but the ol' adage you get what you pay for is appropriate here. The Mdrv-700dj phones have more bass response - they sound simply cleaner. I find them to be a comfortable set of phones. Others have stated they are not comfortable - what the heck are they wearing?

I will not say that these are the absolute best cans available to the consumer - but they are well worth what I paid! If you enjoy your music with a tad warm presentation - you've found your holy grail. Enjoy your music.

Strengths:
Sound incredibly detailed (to me).
Comfortable
Stylish
A tad on the warm side
The headphones can be folded and placed in a pouch for storage or travel

Weaknesses:
Cord is pigtailed (curly), I prefer stright.

I listened to other offerings from Koss, AKG, Grado - I like the Sony sound the best!

Im a Pro Dj dj,d up & down the UK had a residency at a nightclub could the Oblivion for 5 years in a row so i now what im talking about.well now thats out the way LETS BEGIN! These headphones (cans) realy are at the top of the market in perfection i've had sennheiser,technics,and other sony models but nothing comes close to what you get from these.The sound is amazing especially the BASS!since i am a techno/Trance DJ these do the job.if you have seen the film it's all gone pete tong well that is how you feel when you have them on you cant hear a dam thing outside,all you have is alot of mid and low not realy alot of top but it dont matter that much you should'nt have them on for an hour or longer non stop thats why they are called Sony mdr v700dj Yes (DJ) do i realy need to say anymore. ahhh yeh djs like paul van dyk,johan gielen judge jules armin van buuren use these amazing headphones so they must be good.
