DJenergy,
Seeing as how all I've been doing this entire thread is try and figure out good headphones for DJ's, why is it that you decide to go against my advice?
dj-2Tall, fastdjmp3, dj-enegy: Is there any particular reason you all aren't listening to me and the good number of people who agree with me in this thread? |

Hmmm, Gluegun... ;)
I, as a person who knows pretty much what sounds good in "audiophile" headphones, want to buy or demo a pair of those MDR-V700DJs - not to listen regularly to them, but to see if they're really as craptacular as you say they are. |

Just wondering what everyone thinks ablut the big name guys wearing the 700s, In feb i saw Paul van Dyk and he was wearing the 700s then on the weekend i saw Tiesto who was also using the 700s by choice because after he was done he signed them and threw them into the crowd so they were obviously his to begin with, then i saw Dave Seaman and he also spun with the 700s, everyone pulled off flawless mixes regardless of the so called boominess so i dont think they are as bas as everyone is saying.

VD13,
If you read this thread, I address the issue you are speaking of...
I don't have time to repeat myself now, but I will if you can't find my answer to your argument. |

I agree with you on that one !!!
I saw PVD spin with MDRV-700.......than i saw him spin with some other headphones....it wasn't the best. |

I think I know how those DJs can get perfect mixes using those Sony MDR-V700DJs... ;)
Today I demoed the MDR-V700DJs on my portable CD player, playing jazz music - and I have to say they aren't quite as craptacular as Gluegun made them out to be. Sure, the bass is hyped-up, the lower mids are a bit recessed, the upper mids are a bit hyped-up... But I can get the same type of sound for half their price. Still, that type of sound that I described the MDR-V700DJs as may have been the reason for the flawless mixes from those top-name DJs who use them. (In other words, they're good for what they're designed for, but mediocre - not crappy - for what they aren't designed for.) |

| And some of my points were that they are designed for so little at such a high price...those kind of tools is what prevents most trance mixes from using the bass for anything more than keeping time... and they aren't good at keeping time in the first place, because the beat blurs. Granted, it is possible to adapt to this kind of sound mentally, but why pay more for a tool that works against you? Gyah. Get the cheaper, better, more durable, more versatile set of cans. Don't be like those big-name DJ's that bend over because Sony pays them to...Sony doesn't really WANT peopole to discover the V6, because it's so good that it makes most the entirety of their V### line and all but one model (and a few models they got rid of) of their CD### line pale in comparison. They don't WANT people to know about this gem--they want people to buy what they tell them to. |
