there's a MASSIVE thread on this, look up on the list

btw, did u "train" ur headphones PROPERLY, before BLASTING THE SHIT out of them?

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again:

v700s suck. They are flimsy pieces of shit. I took perfect care of mine and first they began to crack, then the right channel died for no reason, then they cracked completely. Worst $100 I ever spent. Not to mention they sound like shit compared to many other headphones.

Afterwards I bought some sony mdr v7506 and never looked back. I can't beleive these come from the same company. It's like night and day. They are solid and will indeed last you forever - I've heard of pairs lasting well over 10 years, that just need their earcup pads replaced once and a while (cheap, cost like $9 per pad)

thats interesting man, I am one of those that have had mine 2 years + and never had a problem. yay me.

yeah.. ive had mine for a couple of months now and they are great. i love them. like ô§§|E said, i hope you burned them in before you used them a lot, otherwise that shit might happen. i just turned on a bass test song, played it for 26 hours at really high volume, and there you go...

bass heavy music
+
24 hours
=
perfectly working mdr-v700s

Yeah 7506s are amazing, 7509s are supposed to be even more so but they're $180+

v700s are by far my fave headphones to play out in, i've used the hdj1000s out and the 700s are by far better for playing out.

if u are just using them in the house, imo, get some cheaper better hi-definition headphones that aren't so bass heavy + aren't quite so flexible as they will last longer.

fuck shit no
i gotta start reading the user manual when i buy things.

yeah man. what you gotta do is when you get them, just turn on some bass heavy music and play it on really high volume for like 24 hours. then they'll be good

I doubt that I'd buy 700's after my experience with 500's...
