I just bought headphones!!!!
ok I have been hearing all of you talk about phones and gluegun giving advice about what to buy.
I had my eyes set on the MDR v700 because of the way they look and feel on my head and my friends have them and I like the way they sound. I was looking at the MDR v6 pair but to get them from the US to Canada would cost 55 USD plus like 20-30 US shipping and on top of that all the bullshit duty costs and taxes blah blah......I asked my buddy who bought a pair in Nov 2001 if he wants to sell his as a joke and he said yes!!! I was surprised !
He said he is going to Cuba and needs the cash flow and once he gets back and gets more cash he would buy a new pair. I completely trust this guy as he is my good friend so I jumped at the opportunity and grabbed them with box warranty and all for 140 Canadian......In conclusion I am very happy......especially since he paid 230 canadian for them ...
Thanks to all who helped me learn about headphones and sorry to those who are dissapointed with my decission
of getting the MDR v 700 pair
you feel sorry for the others?? I think you made a great choice, i also have the v700, use them for a half year now, and they do kick ass. Now i don't give that much about other opinions, and i especially neglect the opinions about the bass sounds. If you read the package, it says DJ REMIX USE, so you can guess they made it therefore

nice choice dude, i also bought my pair about 6 months ago... still no problems, i agree they are kick ass and if i had to look for headphones again, i would probably buy another pair of them... Look & Feel kick ass... i admit the Syneheisser's sound better, but they cost like $100 more too, so yeah.... Sony is very nice alternative.. im happy anyways..
i had a pair of MDR-V700 ... honestly they are very shitty made ...they wont last u long at all break so easily .... and there sound isnt the best either ..... so recently i bought a new pair of headphones the Technics RP-DJ1200a's and they are amazing they sound so much better then the sony's ..they are small and light and yet very snug to the ear ....i recommend them to everyone ....
*checks the currency calculator*
Hmmm....
V700's for $88 USD... eh, well, you made an informed decision based on availability and pricing. As long as you were an informed consumer, and chose what was important to you, there's nothing I can do. I can't MAKE you buy the V6's or HD25's...
nice choise dude
i have the sony MDR V700 for about 2 monthz now
and they definatly rock

I used to have those V700DJs... I will say that they're not for me. Sure, they may suffice for the working DJ, which I'm really not; I listen to music through headphones, but most working DJs merely cue up the next track or beatmatch through headphones.
Yea, I wouldn't quite say they "Rock". A set of Grado SR-80's "Rock". But V700's?
c'mon ppl
its not fair
each one & his own oppinion
Ya, I know... and I know that the headphone selection in Israel tends to suck...
*sigh*
my babies, the v700's I actually just got some v6's
not likin the feel just yet.. but I didnt like the feel of my v700's when I first got them
a year and a half though of wearing them everyday... hmm they have become prrrrfect!!! hopefully the v6's do the same, I can already feel them loosening up

Hey hey hey
Whats that gotta do with Israel?
Dont start with that shit mate
This is a Trance forum and not a politics forum!
Anyway
Im Gonna get the Technics 1210 RP-DJ Headphones
I Heard they are amazing
Im Getting them at a rare price of 20 dollars
NEW!!!
Why you ask?
Because my friend's father is the Panasonic Sales Manager in New-York, So hes giving me a pair at 20 dollars!
It's got nothing to do with Israel; I like Israel a lot. It's just that SOME companies choose not to sell some products (eg, good headphones) at sane prices there...
Woah, you got the technics for $20?! DANG!

Hell yea.... damn....
Excuse me mate
I Missunderstood
My apologyes
Anyway ya i hope to get the Technics soon
hi
yes it is I....the one who started this thread
well I have had these puppies for 2 weeks now and I love them
I don't DJ at all and I love the phones for their comfort, style and quality. I mainly use them to listen to my Nomad Jukebox and other MP3 sources. I think I got a great deal at 90 US because I have a store warranty in the city for one year so it is better than getting them somewhere else across the country
Anyhow I have a friend living now in Swiss so I will ask him about those new ummm what were they called ???? that weird euro company that just came out with the brand new pair of studio that is supposed to kill the v700, v6 and so on headphones...Gluegun Help
hi
ahh it was the Sennheiser DH280 PRO
I will check the price on those in europe and maybe ask my buddy to bring them back for me
then I will choose which one I like better cause I can still get 100US for the v700 on ebay if I want to so no loss here
Yes, that's HD280 Pro, not "DH". Anyways, since you aren't a DJ, why not consider a set of open headphones? How about something bigger than a DJ would prefer? Or even some inside-the-ear canalphones?
How much isolation do you need?
hi
thanks for the offer but I like closed headphones cause I can't stand having others hear what I m listening to [ I hope I know what Im saying here ] and as far as having in the ear headphones, just dont like that in general
I like the big headphones for many reasons including the fact that they keep my ears warm in the winter.....I know that sounds silly but it works for me. I also like having only one cord coming out of one ear piece not both. That minimizes the cord getting stuck on my shirt or knee when I tie my shoelaces. I ruined so many cheaper pairs from having the cord tugged on once too many times its not even funny. I will look at the Hd280's though for my buddy whom I got the v700 off of. maybe he will pay to have them
Sorry for starting another discussion on an old topic, but what EXACTLY is it about the v7s that pisses people (read: Gluegun) off? I haven't tried both so I can't comment, but I'm close to a choice between the v6s and the v7s. The only reason why I'm getting the v6s is because Gluegun says it's good, and that counts for alot. Well..the only reason why I MIGHT be getting the v7s is because it really looks slick- very cool. I know that sounds crap, but why can't the people at Sony realise the huge potential out there and make a v9 or something which listens like the v6s and looks and feels like the v7? Argh.. that would have been the headphone of the millenium.
In any case, I have almost made up my mind to purchase the v6s, but I would appreciate if all the headphone and DJ gurus would tell me exactly what is it about the v7s that is so terrible?
One more thing.. I know this sounds lame (again), but can we use DJ and studio headphones to listen to normal CDS on a discman or an mp3 player? How different would it sound, and is this normal practise?
Actually, Great Outdoors, Sony did make the MDR-V7 long before it came out with the current MDR-V700DJ. That old MDR-V7 was essentially an MDR-V6/7506 with larger 50mm drivers. Sound-wise, the MDR-V7 is an improvement over the old V6, but at a correspondingly higher price. When both the old V6 and the old V7 were in production (late 1980's until the early 1990's), you certainly got what you paid for. But fast-forward to today, where the current Sony MDR-V600 (which is NOT the same as the old MDR-V6) and the current MDR-V700DJ (which, BTW, is completely different from the old MDR-V7) suck so badly for the price that you're paying for them, especially for critical music listening. (Uh, they typically cost $100 to $150 at retail, but I wouldn't pay more than $30 for them!)
Hope this helps. 
Yea, Great Outdoors, when you talk about Sony headphones, please use the full model number...
To put it another way, let's look at the pecking order of some Sony headphones...
Sony MDR-V7 > Sony MDR-V6 > Sony MDR-V700DJ > Sony MDR-V600
So, ahhhh, which headphones are you asking about again?
Erm, sorry guys, I was kinda asking about the newer v7. Does it suck THAT bad?
You mean the Sony MDR-V700DJ? Um, yea...
If you don't believe me, go to "www.head-fi.org" and "www.headphone.com" and do a search for "V700" in the reviews section...
You'll see many fun things there!
Let's just say that it is "good enough" for trance or techno or house DJ's making live mixes in a club type setting, but it is NOT versatile enough for, well, anything else, really... and, for THAT purpose, it is way, way, way overpriced.
