DJ Juno: Those Technics are among the better DJ headphones on the market. However, for music listening, they sound decent, but their performance-to-price ratio is mediocre.

Gluegun: *returning to my rant about Koss The Plug, er, POC* The POC, if anything, sounds even worse than the Sony MDR-V###DJ series!

As i said before.. i dont know much about headphones. BUT! Koss make the most ugly headphones ive ever seen. They just look so damn retarded. Sure, they may sound good but.. WEAK design..

Do you want headphones that block out sound? NO

Do you mind big headphones that go over the ear? NO

Do you mind headphones that clip on the ear? YES

Do you mind earphones that go in the ear? YES

Do you mind headphones that leak a lot of sound? As long as I hear, who cares?

There..I answered..now for purposes. Say for beatmatching.

and for a separate pair for listening to trance, rock and rap from a Sony Diskman or Rio MP3 player.

And hell if one exists, a happy medium between beatmatching and everyday use.

Right now, for everyday use, I use sony mdr250.(dont laugh!)

thanx for help headphone gurus!

the Sony MDR-V700 have a design flaw.......on the hear peace where it attackes to the headpiece the plastic cracks very easily i think the bass sound levels are kinda distored as well...... definatly not worth the price

*chuckles* for listening to trance, rock, and rap? with slightly exaggerated bass? I'd say you should get a Grado SR-80...THOSE are trance LISTENING headphones if there ever was one...talk about your impacting bass!! Plus, they look cool too (they look like you got them out of a WWII bomber, which is just so damn cool!)

Hey, those Technics look GREAT for DJ monitoring.... But, for that type of sound, I wouldn't use em for anything else if I could get away with it... and you're paying ALL THAT MONEY for those features....Those headphones are for the specialist, not the listener...

TranceCluber,

I know what you're talking about as to bass distortion. The V700DJ claims to have a maximum power-handling capacity of 3,000mW - but when you feed it full-range music that has a lot of low bass, that claim is FALSE. And some headphones claiming to have a maximum power-handling capacity of "only" 100mW can actually handle more power than that "pessimistic" claim as far as full-range music power is concerned.

Thus, for all practical purposes, for FULL-RANGE music listening, MOST headphones have a REAL maximum RMS power-handling capacity of between 400mW and 450mW. I had read an article about this in some unknown publication (I completely forgot its name). Unfortunately, some of the very best-sounding audiophile headphones have a relatively wimpy power-handling capacity of 80mW. (Note that all power figures are per channel.)

Grado's can take a lot of juice...hell look at Apheared (long story), and, of course, the best listening-to-trance headphones on God's Green Earth are the Grado SR-325...
