Feature:
The accessories consists of a carrying bag and a multy conection plug to go with portable and home sterio.

Quality:
the only thing baad for me was that They got crushed a week after I got them and I dident get to use them for long (my friend dropped them on the road and before he got thm up someone had run them over) the only thing that broke vas a little plastik part but it maid the unuseble, The best Headphones I ewer had,

Value:
I paid 150$ for them but i had stil been satefied with it if I could ave keept them longer.

Desirability:
I dont thin the product has any special sex appeal, sorry but it dos have a high "I want it" value attleast to me.

Sound:
this produkt is awsome it has a clear sound booming basse and they are well built.

Support:
I tryed to deal with Sony and ask if there were any way of getting them repaird! but no mattre how many mail i sent to them and where ewer I sent them I newer go a respod back from them at all, I knew thet they would not give me a new pair but they could have said how much it would cost to get them fixed. haw to give them poor on this rating.

Overall:
I would be satisfied for a long time if i could only keep them in order for a long time!! I see people complain about them braking, wel they did brake when they got runn over but they keep on playing ( I was supprised ) and sins sony dos not repair them they better last!!!

Feature:
This product could have been a bit more comfortable... like better padding on the ear seals and maybe a pad on the outside of the headphones so there is not the whole metal resting on shoulder feel when you are DJing and mixing. But otherwise... its headphones how much more can you ask for.

Quality:
I beat the heck out of theese headphones and so do my friends and they might wear out after about 4-5 years of hard constant use. Extremely durable... I would know

Value:
Where I bought the headphones was a bit of a better deal but i would pay full asking retail for these things... better than the bose headphones by far (bose is totally overrated) and they give you more power for the amount you are putting into them

Desirability:
Come on... these are some pretty sexy headphones and always wanted a pair. I am a college student as well as a DJ and opened up a credit card to get these things... come on now folks

Sound:
The sound is intense... This product can handle a whole bunch of power without being distorted. It sounds like a small amplified speaker sometimes if you take it off of your head and it sounds super clear.

Ease of Use:
Plug it in and enjoy! Great sound.

Support:
Havent heard

Overall:
Please read all of the above lol

Feature:
The swivel cups are great. Rotateable in any position you want, and close good. You don't get any outside noise in it. Neither do people hear something when they're standing next to you.

Quality:
Perfect I'd say... Nice and solid design, the "telephone-wire" is great too.

Value:
It costs a lot compared to other headphones, but everything extra that you get (sound quality, cups) is double worth it!

Desirability:
HOT! Man I fell in love with this headphones just by seeing an image on the internet. They're really sexy...

Sound:
Love it. Nice deep bass, crisp clear mids and highs. You can use it for anything. TV sounds good, mp3 player sounds great, PC sounds great...

Support:
Don't know much about this, but Sony is a well known company and I'm sure they'll help you out when you have any problems.

Overall:
I think that when this pair of headphones breaks or stops working (probably about 20 years from now or something) I'll buy the same ones again. Or the newer version that sony'll probably have released then. Actually I should've bought 2, so that I have one extra for when I forget the someone, or just to borrow to people, because everyone wants to try them.

Feature:
Great Features: Folding unit, headphone plug-in adapter. Not so great: Generic travel bag. My only complaint deals with the coiled headphone cord; it's too short. I feel that I'm always moving the cord into a comfortable position. The coiled cord seems to pull my headphones away from me. Extension cord recommended.

Quality:
The DJ monitors are built heavy duty. Due to this aspect; after awhile in the studio, they do begin to get slightly uncomfortable. As far as quality; IT'S A SONY. My only concern is the fabric that covers the earcups may begin to peel in time as did my last pair of sony headphones.

Value:
I believe that the sound is worth the price. Comfort design best suits a DJ, not a recording artist.

Desirability:
After listening to the sound the monitors deliver; the silver finish, swivel cups, and overall design are what sold me.

Sound:
The sound is very pure and crystal clear. There is a slight underlying bass drive, but it balances nicely with the treble range. It is great being able to monitor voices and the piano with precision. The closed supra-aural design helps exponentially. The equipment that I use the monitors with are: Sony MiniDisc Recorder, Cakewalk, and a Yamaha Digital Keyboard.

Ease of Use:
Swivel earcups are great. Adjusting headband works well, although for this type of professional equipment, it should have a band that automatically adjusts to each individual. Instead of adjusting the headphones everytime they are in use.

Support:
No repairs needed at this time.

Overall:
I don't regret my choice buying these headphones as the sound quality is superb. My only complaint is not being able to wear the headphones for a long period of time.

I've used the Stanton DJ Pro 2000 S headphones and these Sony's blow those headphones out of the water in terms of frequency response, clarity, and depth. Also, they are more comfortable that the Stanton headphones. I believe that these are the best headphones for all types of DJ's and genres. Maybe that is why they won DJ Headphone of the year. Just maybe, you think?

Use these ALL the time. Whether at a gig, at home, or on campus.. awesome for DJ's, producers, anything. If sound quality is a must for you, or you're a DJ looking for a nice set of phones...Get these. They're almost the standard now.

For the DJ, this headphone is the obvious choice. Heavy duty construction and rotating earcups enhance one-ear cueing. Aggressive bass response ensures that only your beats reach your ears.

Feature:
The long spiral cord offers a generous walking radius. You never need to take your headphones off to search through records stacked in a far off corner. Swivel cups are nice and the whole setup fits snugly to your head until you do what these things are designed for - general use. Leather is soft and plush until it gets a hint of sunlight. Leather will crack in the sun, and these will crack fast. My buddy learned this lesson so I didn't have to. Even then, mine started to crack after 2.5 years of use, they're now 4 yrs old.

Quality:
Well Sony certainly made THE look for headphones. Magazine ads, sexy photo spreads, and lots and lots of djs have made this style chic and now copied. Design is the key problem. They spent the money on artistic design and marketing rather than engineers. At least I hope an engineer didn't approve of the swivel and some of the other questionable areas. These headphones are built to make nice product shots and be wonderful until the warranty runs out. Be warned, if you buy these headphones look after them or you will break them in a year.

Value:
The honeymoon is great. You may have urges to make love to these headphones for a month. Watch out though, these girls must be made in Idaho, the prettiest in the world until you've made a commitment to spend your life with them.

Desirability:
99 Billion suckers and counting. Shine and gloss wears off. Get something that sounds better and lasts longer.

Sound:
Bass is too heavy. A balanced sound is better for djing and listening too. Not everyone uses bass hits to mix. Sure you can do worse for sound, you can do a lot better too.

Support:
I didn't even bother with Sony. From reading other's posts, I'm glad I didn't waste my time trying. Some retail stores have great return policies. Your best bet is to buy from a good store and look after these headphones. Zip ties can be a clean and effective way to strengthen and repair these headphones. They are cheap and easy to install. To keep the headphones looking stylish, try a shiny chrome cap. A sheet metal worker made my friend a piece which is essentially a small piece of pipe with 2 grooves cut out. It slides onto the offending cylinder and has grooves that allow it to cover past where the cylinder connects to the 'Y' piece. Sony doesn't want to babysit you or buy you a new one when you break your shiny toy. Fix them yourself or buy a different brand next time.

Overall:
These headphones are the headphone equivalent of a Rice Rocket with an overpowered sub and a glossy paint job. You may think it's a sweet looking high performance Sports Car, but you're not fooling anyone.

been through two pairs of these. first one used like any other pair of dj headphones. second pair babied and kept with me at all times. not in record bag or case , but sat in the front seat of my car with me etc... still both times swivel earpeice connection cracked then broke. 1st time i thought it was me, second time realized its the product and the design and constructon. if they made these more durable. they would be king in my book. of you have the extra 70 bones. pick up the mdr v900's instead. these are the biggest, baddest and strongest ive used. i even prefer these over my studios seinheisers.... but thats just me.
