Originally posted by Dj Ve I`ve had the 700 for some years now. They`re literally falling apart in the joints. Also, sound is very bad when listening to anything that requires some dynamics or quality. Great for dj`ing though, thats what I use them for. Bottom line the quality isn`t good. Too many people bitch about them falling apart. Soundwise they are great for mixing ( as said DOH repeating myself ) but horrible for say jazz. But then again, you`re pretty damn stupid if you buy them for grooving to youre g.washington jr tracks

Agreed. In fact, you're pretty damned stupid if you buy those MDR-V700DJ's even for grooving to those trance/techno tracks (open-air Grado headphones are way better than those Sonys for listening/grooving to trance). They're okay if you use them for spinning house mixes (i.e. cueing up different tracks and then try to get as close of a match in the beats as humanly possible).
