I mean, the lower-numbered models in the current MDR-V###DJ series - MDR-V150, MDR-V250V, MDR-V300, MDR-V500DJ and MDR-V600. All of those either sound worse and/or are flimsier than the MDR-V700DJ. |
i agree
the 500s sound ty, but suit me just fine for playing records in my basement
when it comes time to upgrade i'm probably going sennheiser
i want to test out the hd-280(?)
and the hd-25
if they don't fulfill my needs, then maybe i'll check out the pioneer line or the technics |

About the V700DJ, they do your type of job pretty well... But for listening to music, meh. |

| If you don't know how to dj and properly use your headphones, no matter which brand/model they are, they always suck when they break ;) |

This facking argument "this sucks" or "that sucks" or "these suck" or "those suck" or "they suck, period" is getting out of control. Always use the right tools for the right job, eh? |

the only reason why this model of sony headhpones get dissed all the time but people is that they are popular. as usual in this world of douchebags, when something gets popular, it gets dissed and made fun of and they say lots of bad things about it
in reality sony mdr700 will be for a long time a standard in djing headhopne monitors. no doubt and accept it deal with it! everything else is second rated headphones.
the local dj in my place has had his mdr700 for about 2 years now and he uses them 4 times a week for 6 hours. he has only gone through 1 mdr700 in the past 5 years. thats reasonable since he uses it alot
live it love it
the hdj1000 by pioneer is nice though. but it is just the same as the sony mdr700
and the myth on having ear peircing sounds is not true. you want ear peircing sounds try the mdr6 |

I dont own the 700's, but my friend does, and he let me borrow them for awhile. They are not bad sound quality (decent bass atleast) but unfortunately within a year the plastic started to crack.
For some reason the 700's tend to crack easily, even if you take good care of them.
On the other hand, another friend of mine has the 600's, and he's had them for 2 years and they are still in perfect condition. They also feel better when on your head, and the sound quality difference is unnoticable for me.
So I recommend the 600's, or if you want a great pair of studio monitors, get the 900's. |

Actually the 900s are Sony's top headphones. |

I can't recommend either the V600's or the V900's. Neither of them sounds very good, and both of them are extremely inaccurate for studio-monitoring purposes. Moreover, the V600's are just plain abysmal, especially for the $100 that a typical superstore sells them for. The V600's are, simply, merely glorified $20 low-end mass-market closed headphones that masquerade as "studio monitors". The use of the V600's in studios is one VERY big reason why so many of today's recordings sound both boomy and shrill at the same time (in other words, they sound horrible on great audiophile equipment).
As for the V900's, they deliver too much bass (even at the flat response settings of an equalizer that's connected to an amp), and they don't have much in the way of upper-midrange/lower-treble response. Thus, if one uses them for monitoring, the resulting mix will end up sounding thin and overbright on most systems. |
