The swivel on these things is terrible, but I've solved that problem by using 2 zap-straps on each swivel; ghetto looking yeah, but it works really well =P

The frequency response on these are FAR from flat, as I painfully discovered long ago trying to master a production with them, lol. The midrange is heavily overcompensated... but that's a good thing for DJ'ing at a painfully loud club.

believe me shady Im a definite audiophile

they arent disigned for studio use anyway... but I see no reason why they wouldnt be optimal for any studio application

Im gonna be using these day in day out next semester in conjunction with high end audio equipment, I'll tell you how they work out

Try some other headphones for just music listening first, then go back to your V700's. I did just that, and when I tried out a second pair of the V700's, my second experience is this saying:

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

Originally posted by DeleriuM2K Ive listened to many different high end models for extended periods of time - the MDRV500DJ, MDRV750, all the Sennheisers, havent listened to the Pioner HDJ1000's though, but I dont think I would by them just based on appearance

...Which Sennheiser headphones did you listen to, in what environment, for how long, on what source, with what material?

V700DJ:s are not made to sound accurate. They are 100% DJ Headphones, which makes it a bit intentionally altered when it comes to frequency ranges. The trebble is lower than the original source and the bass is boosted, all to make your ears last long when mixing on high volume! Unfortunately I use them for producing, which is a hassle as they dont present the sound the way they are supposed to be. You can easily hear this when playing a tune very loud on your headphones, and compare the kind of sound picture you get, with the same track on lower than normal volume. The dynamic is totally different! On high volume, mid frequencies are almost totally killed compared with a low volume.

There we have it.
Sony 700s are DJ headphones. That is what they are designed to do, and that is what they do well.
Forget about all these specs and frequencies the people talk about as it means nothing when playing in a club.

Nice one Jezper

...different perspective on that however...

my experiences with the headphones is that the bass is muddy and its not acurate...so my mixes were muddy and inacurate. i had trouble with them becuase what sounded fine on the headphones sounded like crap in accurate speakers. the beats were always off and the keys didnt sound right.

thats why i sold my 700s for sennheiser 280s.

some djs may only want bass to beat match but in my opinion, the highs provide for the most acurate beat matching. plus im pretty anal about my songs going together on key and everything.

it all comes down once again to personal use. i need soemthing more clear and accurate for my personal use. i guess my standards are just higher i donno.

I hear what you are saying.
I too am pretty 'anal' about my mixing (god that word sounds bad he he) and the use of keys in mixes. I am also fortunate to be able to say that it's my job.

I will however agree with you that the Sennheiser 280s are good.

Nothing wrong with having high standards, I still think that the 700s work really well in a club environment and probably better than most others.
Comfort is a very personal thing but I find them the most comfortable.

Cheers

yeah ive never played in a club so i wouldnt know anything about that.

comfort is very personal... i have large ears so the 700s hurt my ears and made my ears all sweaty after an extended period of time [gaming experience not mixing : )

"SoundBlaster Audigy 2 (the best consumer sound card on the market)"

That is bullshit. Sb cards are gamer cards.... M-audio is much better.
