@Derivative the audio technica ATH-A900s, is close to 50 bux more than the sony's sure do look sweeeeeeet

i know. if you cant afford them get the cheaper ATH-A700s. they look the same. have a slighter lower frequency response. 50 bucks cheaper. or save yourself another 50 bucks and get the ATH-A500. ATH-A500s cost $105 USD. they are the best pair of monitor headphones you can get for a hundred dollars. period. all of them are supposed to blow the sony's out of the water. nobody ever has anything bad to say about them. look at audio cube's audiophile section - practically all of audio technica's headphones are in it. read some of the reviews too, i think they have a 100% record on that site or thereabouts which is pretty mental. the sound isolation is better than the sonys because the pads are huge, they dont snap as easily as the v700s. in my opinion they also look cooler. probably the coolest looking pair of monitor headphones ive seen. i think ill try to scab the A500s for christmas even though ive got no money. im counting on a few christmas cards with cash in the envelope. c'mon immediate family - dont let me down this year!

bleh, i will always be a sennheiser man now if you think the sound quality in the mdrv700 is good (which i don't) then cop a load of the hd280's or hd25's

but yeah, if you are bothered about the way they look (which i'm not) then the hd280's are not what you want, although the hd25's look ubercool, with a price tag to match.

Damn it, ive been looking into those phones, and now i really really really really want them.

I dont think theres anywhere that carries them in canada though, and its not worthwhile having them shipped here.

you can only get them from japan. pretty much the only site that sells them is audio cubes cuz they try to find hard to find electronics gear from japan and export it to other countries. i dunno about their amps and stuff but alot of people say they have ordered headphones from them and not had to pay import tax. hence im getting a pair of A500s since i cant afford studio monitors right now.

I've had my MDR-V700DJs for 3+ years and they have been falling apart but they're troopers and work great...

1) the hinges cracked after about a year...zip ties fixed that
2) fake leather started cracking and falling off, but they're still just as comfortable, and although theres a little less isolation they work fine (only the right side is cracking anyway)
3) in a drunken state I accidentally snapped off the plug, but a $3 replacement from Radio Shack works fine...
