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.

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.

Plug it in and enjoy! Great sound.

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

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

Havent heard

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

Any and Everything

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

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

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,

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

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.

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

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...

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.

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

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

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.

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

From Drum & Bass to Reggae to Hiphop to R&B to Rap to Punkrock to probably anything out there...

There's no question about the sound quality on these joint, the wide frequency response range is great since I have a bit of high end hearing loss.

everything yiu'd want is here.

This is where I have a big problem. Like some of Sony's othere models durability is a problem....I have duct tape and super glueon several places on ahd past the swival to the cup. I had the same problem with the MDR-V600's; and I use them in a studio setting, not as a dj!They look great, but durability is a real problem that SONY needs to address. Although, they look like brushed aluminum, its actually a lightweigh plastic composite...beware.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

They're intentionally bass heavy. They punch right through the monitors so you can queue properly. Very nice!

Needs replaceable parts.

There are literally hundreds of different dj decks/players to choose from...And we get, what, 3-4 decent dj headphones to select from? WHEN WILL A MANUFACTURER MAKE A PAIR OF DJ HEADPHONES CONSTRUCTED FROM METAL INSTEAD OF THIS "DURABLE" PLASTIC CRAP THAT CRACKS WITHIN A YEAR??? If i pay a hundred+ bucks for cans, they better not crack. EVER. Period.

It seems like all the other competitors are using craplastic to manufacture their 'phones as well... :(

Sleek design that certainly created the ultimate look for dj headphones. Just look at how the Stantons copy this design. These headphones are resting atop the heads of model chics posing as "disc jockeys" in liquor ads.

The sound is killer. Best pair of headphones I've ever owned, better quality than my 7506's and pioneers. Great bass and great overall sound.

The carry bag was better than the one provided for my 7506's, very stylish and cool under a black light. The long coiled cord and swivel earcups are a plus too (sort of - read on).

These headphones are great.........at first. If you are researching about the swivel cylinder ear piece cracking, you've got another victim. I realized the headphones just get "stretched" over time. The more you wear them, the less snug they fit on your head, and then eventually the plastic swivel cylinders crack and fall off. This is all from easy home use, not clubbing every night. Out comes the JB weld.

I gotta say......for the price, and for how long they lasted, there are better headphones out there. :(

Sony sucks for service on everything.....so I didn't even bother contacting them.

Props on the looks though, Sony.........these are hot headphones. Until they are covered in adhesive.

Breaks!!!!!! Tasteful trance, dnb, pretty much everything except country

Great sound, nice cups - surely the industry standard

Nice and modern looking with great sound, nice swivel cups, nice length to cord, etc..

$140 isn't a good value for a pair of headphones that are going to break after a year and half or so of NORMAL use.

I've been through 2 pairs in the past 3 years -- they are NOT made well at all. Same problem each time is the side plastic peices cracking through continuous use. I've called Sony twice and suggested making them differently. I refuse to buy them again, they might be the industry standard but I am tired of throwing money away on a product that Sony refuses to improve for us DJ's.

Don't want it anymore....I'm doing just great with my Senn HD280's and don't even miss the Sony's!

House/Hip-Hop

great sound, while they last

great swivel features, but if you plan on using them often, they WILL break

if you are a DJ .. DON't BUY THESE HEADPHONES! I have two sitting in my closet , mine and my roomates.. they all break the same way and I have 3 friends who have had theirs break the same way. The cheap plastic part that connects to the speakers to the Band, WILL crack.

If yo could afford to buy these every three months , go for it

My friend tried to get SONY to fix them, and they ended up charging him more money than the headphones are worth!! it's a nightmare to talk to somebody.

I hate these headphones!!!! biggest waste of money... if I add up all the broken headphones my friends have, it amounts to over $1000!

trance/House

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

No repairs needed at this time.

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

i have been using this headphone over a year and its still one of the best in market. if u want something really good, this is it

My only problem is that after a year of steady DJ use the earpiece cracked at the swivel joint and then ended up breaking off. I have a feeling this will happen with the next pair I buy as well. They just have to strengthen that part.
