after buying my sonys and having them fail on me at the most crucial moment (5 mins before i was set to get on the decks at a rave this weekend)

and i took extra special care of mine once i found out what sort of flaws they have, but even with babying them, they still broke on me

i will NEVER buy another sony product again

there's nothing like scrambling around trying to find another set of cans just as the dj before you is about to finish
in the end i borrowed my friend's pair of pioneer headphones (not the 1000's, the model down)
i thought they did the job a whole lot better than my sonys and am really considering switching to pioneer (probably the 1000's if they use the same drivers)
but then again, there's also the sennheiser hd-25

i bought those headphones when i was just starting out and stupid

i don't know how the pros can stand mixing with those (i guess a couple grand does wonders to ease that pain)

and dj steve
how can you still defend those pieces of shit?

literally it's like eating dog shit and asking for seconds

I have a pair of the sony headphones, I am not satisfied with them. There are better headphones for the money, most are listed in this thread.

DJ_Shockwav, were those your MDR-V500DJ's that broke on you?

Oh, yeah; I think everybody who defends the facken piece-of-shat MDR-VxxxDJ is a twat.

C'mon people, it's ridiculous to get so upset about headphones...

Anyway, here's an objective viewpoint.

Dj-Steve, I didn't maltreat my V700's a single bit. On a whole, I take very good care of my equipment, especially my DJ gear (headphones included!).

Keeping that in mind, the swivels on my V700's started to crack a few months after I got them. This was from using them at a level that I assumed would present no difficulty (especially for DJ phones!) - about moderate-slightly heavy use. But no "abuse" at all, per se. Anyway, after getting them fixed, I've "lowered" the use level to very little... I only use them now when practicing at home at high sound levels (for "simulating" a club etc), or when out spinning at loud levels (house parties and such). All in all, they amount to little use. My 7506's get more usage. But they can take it.

However what I really really want to say to you, Dj-Steve, is that it is pointless to try to convince others that, say, the V700's are "good" if they think they're "bad" (whatever those two mean). Likewise, it's even worse to be affected by others' opinions, especially emotionally!!!

Because, really, who are we? We're not you! And you matter, not us. It's like when someone gets a letter with bad news, and they get angry because of it, when they were previously happy. Stupid! Why should they get angry, because of a piece of paper?

Anyway this is getting somewhat philosophizing, so I'll stop. I hope you get my meaning, though.

Enjoy your phones! But I recommend you try some other phones too, you may be pleasantly surprised!

yea
other than the v6, i will never even think about putting a sony brand headphone on my ears again

i used to think they were decent enough for at least the bedroom dj...
not anymore
beginners, look into other options than the sony line, it's just not worth the trouble

By the way, I have headphones that are cutties - but they don't have the Sony name on them, and they aren't silver.

I heard nothing but good things about Pioneer 1000, but I'm not crazy enough to drop 150 USD for it though. I used to have MDR-700 but I've sold it, now I have MDR-600. I find the 600 much more comfortable to wear.

Can you say, out of the frying pan and into the fire?

That's exactly the way I put it. The MDR-V600's are (honestly) one of the worst headphones that I've listened to recently, especially for their high-ish price.

Originally posted by DJ_FRAZ why are loads of people saying they break? i thought they were a solid industry standard can?

Yepp...Agreed...

I own a pair of V700's...I'm totally satisfied with the phones, and I wouldn't want any other ones...

The sound may not be very clear, compared to some other cans, but what the f*ck...are you going to listen Mozart between mixing the tracks? In loud enviorments I don't think ppl would notic the difference, and they wouldn't care that much either, between any of these mentioned pro-cans...

And they IMO look a lot better than all the other cans...I personally don't like the looks of the new Pioneer phones at all...It's to much science fiction over them...If you know what I mean...of course, the looks aren't the most important aspect on headphones...

actually i got my mdr-600 for 40 USD

I couldnt pass the deal

Yeah, but sound-wise $40 USD is still too high for the MDR-V600. And I know which sounds good, and which sounds like shyte...

Originally posted by Dj-Steve Maybe IF, i say, IF you paid more attention to the usage of these cutties you would still have them on your head. Instead of that, you throw away @ about � 156 or less (or much more) and you maltreat them. And as for the "poor" sound quality, i say that "poor" is your ear... Maybe you don't like SONY because of the "overpriced" products it has. Anyway, some guy in here switched to the Pioneer 1000... dear friend, did you even notice what is the shape of the 1000's? A SIMPLE COPY OF THE MDRV700'S. SO, WAKE UP AND READ THIS: EVERYTHING AFTER THE MDRV700'S IS JUST A COPY OF THEM THAT GOT DEVELOPED (MAYBE).-

Bah, I think the looks, not just the sound, of the MDR-V700DJ's are overrated. The MDR-V700DJ's look too ordinary to me to even be clad in silver. And as for the "poor" sound quality, trust me, I've heard much better-sounding headphones than the MDRV700's for half the price, even if the MDRV700's sound quality isn't "poor" on an absolute scale.

ok, so i think i've decided to go with the Pioneer HDJ1000's..
who has a pair of these and how much did you pay?
i've only seen em for �130, im sure they're gonna be cheaper than that somewhere?
