How about, "All you V700DJ SCEPTICS, don't even bother posting in this thread"? 
I've read TOO TOO many mdr-v700-bash-a-thon threads where most of the sceptics there probably haven't even tried them. I think that those who bash v700's are really people who would secretly love to have them but can't for some reason or another. 
But anyway:
Sony MDR-V700DJ is great
Sony MDR-V6 (or V7506) is great
Sennheiser HD-280 is great
.

MANY headphones are GREAT!
It's really a matter of personal preference. I myself love the sound of the v700's, and ADORE their looks!!!  
Of course, if you REALLY want to be picky, I guess you could say that the V6's have more "accurate" sound (i.e. not as much exaggerated bass), but in the end it really boils down to a matter of personal taste. Nothing more, nothing less!
I recommend that you find and visit a store in your area that has a headphone rack where you can try them out and hear each one for yourself. In Toronto, Bay Bloor Radio is a perfect example of this (though recently half of their headphone rack has been empty for some reason - if you go there, yell at them to replenish the rack!).
Just do not, do NOT go out and buy a pair of cans SOLELY on the basis that the "audiophile" so-and-so on such-and-such a forum said they were good (or a very good friend of yours - no matter how much you trust him or her). Likewise, don't rule out a pair of headphones solely on the basis that said "audiophile" or friend said they "sucked." Try them out first, THEN decide. And try out many different headphones so that you can compare and get a feel of what sounds "good" and what "doesn't." It could very well happen that there are a pair of headphones out there that 99% of people you ask say they suck, but that you find to be extraordinary! In that case you would buy those, and tell those other people to fuck off and let you enjoy your music. That's what I do to people who bash my v700's. 
Believe me, what "sounds good" is a quality that only YOUR ears can determine, not anyone else's. What you think sounds good may sound like crap to someone else and vice versa.
And I mean really try them out! Put them on and listen for 15 minutes, see if they are comfortable. If you are planning on using them for DJ'ing, try out various positions and see how the headphones stand up.
As in any area of life, to get the best results, you have to exert yourself and do some research!
