Pros: Full sounding, rich bass, cool styling Cons: Mids and highs lacking, bit heavy
Hello once again boys and girls. Pull up a chair, get comfy and get ready for another electronics review! This time, I'll be going over my new Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones. Let me first give you a bit of background info and then I'll dive into the meat 'n...
Pros: Great sounding, lots of bass, very comfy, and "stylin'"! Cons: a bit pricey, wires are hard to solder
I do a lot of home recording in my basement digital studio, and since there are other people living in the house, I realized I needed some pro headphones for mixing and mastering tunes in the wee hours. The cheapo headphones I had just didn't have enough ...
Pros: Excellent sound, good quality. Built like a rock. Cons: Can be heavy and uncomfortable at times. Swivel is a serious problem but is fixable.
Finding a GOOD set of DJ headphones for a good price is tough. You can go cheap and get bad sound. And the high end ones can be ridiculously expensive. I think Sony has the happy medium here with the MDR-V700 DJ cans. The best feature is ...
Pros: Loud, punchy, plenty of bass. Uber-cool look. Durable. Cons: Too tight. Quite heavy. Prolonged wearing brings headache.
Let me state the obvious: Not all professional headphones are created equal. I've owned this pair of cans for 2 years, but it wasn't until I bought the AKG K240 Studio headphones, that I realized the MDR-V700DJ's capabilities. Sony markets these ...
Pros: Surprisingly Lightweight, great sound, very closed design Cons: slightly tight head grip, hard to one ear monitor from shoulder
First of all I'd like to state that I'm literally just beginning to build my home DJ set, so although I'm extremely experienced at DJ, I have been practising :P
I used to work in an upper level club with fantastic sound, the owner was a sound...
Pros: Good looks, decent sound, loud bass Cons: Could be a bit more comfortable
I originally wrote a thumbs-down review of the Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones on Epinions last June, but after demoing and finally buying a pair of them and using them on my portable and home audio equipment, my opinion of them has changed significantly....
Pros: small, lightweight, compact Cons: tend to tangle, lose sound in ear
the new sony headphones are excellent. small, compact and lightweight, they deliver full rich sounds, almost deafening bass and crisp clean highend. What every DJ needs in a headphone. I'd categorize these as more of a mobile headphone then a home use...
I recently wrote a review about the Sony MDR-G72LP headphones I purchased as a personal use replacement set. However I did not mention the pair of MDR-V700DJ headphones I own for my professional musical...
Pros: Comfortable, good sound quality, sturdy Cons: Too easy to fold, high cost
Let me start by saying that I don't own a set of Sony MDR-V700s, but I will soon! I've broken my other sets of headphones so I use my brother's V700s when I am spinning. Comfort and build quality * These are easily the most comfortable pair ...
Pros: Awesome Sound! Clear bass and non-tinny treble. Cons: You can't wear these just walking around.
The Looks: Well, they are DJ headphones, and for DJ headphones, they look cool! But you'd probably be laughed at if you tried to wear these just walking around. But, they are great for "around the house" use.
Pros: It sounds however you want it to. Low distortion. They get LOUD Cons: heavy; uncomfortable after prolonged use.
I bought the MDR-V700's over six months ago, and I had been reading many reviews here on epinions and other places to help make up my mind. I'm writing this to help clarify some of the misinformation/biased opinions out there.
Pros: Amazing Sound, Style Cons: Not for backpack use, mine weren't too fluffy in the earphone
Sony introduced these headphones into their line-up for DJ usage. The MDR scale of headphones start small in number and go up. Since the MDR-V900s are the top of the line, I originally purchased these headphones because the specs on the 700s were close...
Pros: Excellent sound clarity especially in the bass tonal range Cons: The headband may not fit everyone perfectly
There's a lot that can be said for these headphones, but they are best left to speak for themselves. The audio quality is amazing for live work or DJing where you need clear audio in a loud environment such as a club. I've used these personally for a...
Pros: Sound quality, coiled cord, compactness Cons: Build quality, ruggedness, lack of replacement parts
I am not a DJ but I do a heck of a lot of video editing. I also listen to music a lot and use them with my computer for the occasional video game. I shopped around a bit for a set of headphones that would fulfill all of these needs and decided on the ...
Pros: Sleek Look, Good Sound Quality Cons: Handle with Care...The swivel things crack and break after a year or two
If you've been around club-land or rave-land for any amount of time odds are you have seen a pair of these silver beauties donned by a DJ or two. Much like the Technics 1200 turntable the meme these headphones has generated has seemed powerful enough to ...
Pros: Very cool looking, Many professional DJ's choice Cons: Ultra tight, bass is lacking, 'leather' is cheap
I was on a headphone bargain site discussing a nice pair of Sennheiser headphones. Throughout the progression of the conversation these headphones came up and I wrote a mini review about them. I thought I would post it here to inform all of you Sony...
Pros: Great fit, VERY Responsive, and great for DJing too. Cons: Somewhat expensive.
I use these Headphones with my Sony DEJ01 Discman. These headphones rock! If you take a normal CD that you've listened to for a long time and listen to it with these headphones, you'll hear things you never heard before! These headphones make it...
Pros: Comfy, great quality and sound, good looking, overall awesome Cons: Finish can scratch if you don't watch it, very big but not too bad
I bought these phones because I just got a new MD player and Stereo, and wanted some quality
when I listened to them privately. So I rounded up 105 bucks and bought these awesome headphones.
Bottom Line-They are my pride and joy, one of the...
Pros: Sharp crisp sound Cons: Price leaves a small bit to be desired
Wassup all. Here we go for another review by DJ FreStyl.
As a club DJ, headphones are quite important. The Sony MDRV700DJ prove to be an excellent headphone for the criticizing ear. The 5000 miliWatts of power in these things really hit and are so...
Pros: Looks, sound quality, features. Cons: Fairly high price.
The first thing that pointed me in the direction of these headphones was style. This isn't a very good thing to base quality on, but I saw them and instantly wanted to know more about them.
I am not an expert in this field but I can tell you...
Pros: Good quality sound and great for DJ's! Cons: Hard to say...
This product only has one review, which is your's. When I first bought them for making mixes on my computer, they started to hurt my ear after about an hour. Sony designed it so the ear cups clamp onto your head instead of having the head phones rest on...
Pros: Excellent sound clarity especially in the bass tonal range Cons: The headband may not fit everyone perfectly
There's a lot that can be said for these headphones, but they are best left to speak for themselves. The audio quality is amazing for live work or DJing where you need clear audio in a loud environment such as a club. I've used these personally for a...
Pros: Block out a lot of sound, comfortable, and maneuverable. Cons: Could use more bass.
I first became interested in the Sony MDR-V700 headphones when I got into DJ-ing. I looked around to make sure that I got the right ones too.
By talking to pro DJ's that I know, they told me how they were ideal because you can pretty...
Pros: Bass, Bass, Bass, Screw on connector, Swiveling ear cups Cons: Eyeglass wearers beware a headache will come....
To start things off i was noticing that some of these reviews are from 2000 2001 and sony has really changed their headphones. I had a pair of 700s back in 2001 2002 and they worked great the swivel mechanisms on it broke after about 2 years so i bought ...
Overall, I really like the Sony V700-DJ headphones. They have an extremely smooth look that will catch anyone's attention. They take some getting used to when you first put them on but they are quite comfortable with very small ear pieces to transmit...
Pros: Very cool look, feel great, not too heavy, excellent bass response and no annoying treble. Cons: expensive
I've had these for a while now and they are great! Good bass response and they get loud. They have awesome style, the way it folds up is cool and it twists perfectly for DJs.
They have good base, no tin sounding treble and great response. Despite...
Pros: Great Sound Quality. Keeps out most sounds. Comfy for the first couple of hours. Cons: PRICE.
I got my headphones cheap at Best Buy with my discount. Otherwise they're 129.99. I recommend these headphones to anyone wanting to DJ or already DJing. I would not recommend it for just regular music use. Only because after awhile of use they don't feel...
I just had these headphones for about a year and they broke. For $120, it seems like they should last a little bit longer than 1 year, especially considering that I have other headphones I've owned for 5 years !
The fault in the design is the...
Pros: sound is good, look is sharp Cons: HOT earpieces after 1 hour
Sony is unusually good at designing products for end-users, except in this case. I was surprised at how nice this headphone folds up, and how it comes with a stylish carrying bag, and gold-tip plug (with supplied 1/4" converter).
Pros: LOUD BASS, clear concise sound. I like em with techno music and thats it. Cons: Highs are there, mids are there, they just dont bounce the way the bass does.
These headphones will surpass any others in this price range for quality of bass. After listening to many songs filled with ear ringing bass explosions I have decided that I have never heard such impressive bass sound from any source. For example, a...
Excellant sonic range and comfortable. by m3gtr ,May 01 '09
Pros: Sonic Range is excellant. Comfort is awesome. Cons: Construction may not hold up to constand abuse of studio use.
There are two things that I look for in headphones. Primarily, can I wear them all day and not feel pain or discomfort. Secondarily, do the speakers sonically represent the deepest bass and highest trebles accurately and clearly? Hooked up to these - I have found that they do both very well. I'm a bit disappointed in some of the plastic and not aluminum construction however.
I have several "Pro" level headphones - these are very good quality and comfortable to listen to.
Pros: Very good value for professional headphones Cons: None other than there needs to be a protective cover/s for the jack/s.
I bought the Sony headphones from the Sony Centre in Belfast (Northern Ireland). The product is very reasonable in price for the professionalism that it holds. The very handy two plugs in one is a very good idea as i have a mini hi-fi system with only the standard 3.5 mm jack. With this handy feature people who are DJ's can use the same headphones for DJ'ing at clubs and then relaxing by listening to music on their mini hi-fi using the 3.5mm jack
Also the product comes in a nicely presented box with protective film, the headphones also come with a high quality carrying case (white/cream).
But I found it cheaper online, the Sony centre sold it for £94.99 and found it for as little as £49.99 and I'm sure you can find it somewhere else for less than that.
DO NOT BUY THESE HEADPHONES! by demandmore ,Feb 03 '05
Pros: Shiny Cons: Will ABSOLUTELY fall apart. Sony will not take responsibility for poor quality and design flaws.
While the Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones have an appealing look (c'mon, that's why you want them...I was duped as well!) there is an inherent flaw in the quality of the construction. The casings around the 'swivel cup' WILL eventually crack rendering the headphones useless (do a quick online search and you will see how many consumers have complained about this exact problem). I have used mine for home listening purposes which should be well within what Sony would consider normal 'wear and tear'. Despite the fact that the cheap design is a common complaint, Sony will charge you $78.65 to exchange your useless headphones with a 'refurbished' pair...this on top of the original $150!
I sincerely hope this review will save other consumers from throwing their money down the drain. Do yourself a favor and invest your money in a product that will last!
Good sound, TERRIBLE build quality by rhinosaurus ,Jun 13 '05
Pros: Good sound, loud. Cons: Built like a toy from mcdonalds. Fall apart for no reason.
Got these at a best buy in Florida, then took them back to Canada. At first I was really happy with them, they are hella loud and sound real good. Then, I had them hanging out an amp with a regular SONY stereo-mini to 1/4 inch adapter on them, and the weight of the cord snapped the plug off. WTF? So I took them to the Sony store and they REFUSED to fix them, even if I paid them, since I bought them in another country. I said "I got them in America, not from a counterfeiter in China", but they wouldn't touch them. So, I bought a plug somewhere else and soldered it on myself, which was a pain because the wires are really small and coated with something. All was good until a few weeks ago (about 2.5 years after I got them) when the casing around the swivelling ear pieces broke. Now I'm trying to fix them with epoxy putty and it's just annoying. It's a solid plastic bit and should be made to NEVER EVER break. It's just stupid construction, plain and simple. Don't but these headphones, go for sturdier non-SONY phones.
Super durable, distortion-free at high volume, nice definition. I've been dj-ing with these phones for 4 years and they've never let me down. Plus they look really cool.
Excellent, Sturdy, Lightweight, Great Sounding by indago ,Feb 26 '04
Pros: Excellent fitting, Excellent sound, Excellent all around Cons: Haven't found any yet...
I read some of the reviews here before purchasing a set of these headphones. I am not a professional sound engineer, but enjoy music at home.
I was concerned about some of the reviews that spoke about the overemphasized bass with these headphones. I use the headphones with a system that has equalization for sound. I can trim the bass, trim the highs, or just let it roll. The headphones will blow you away with bass if you want it that way, and you can trim it down if your system can equalize.
They are very comfortable to wear, and I can wear them all day if I desire to listen to the music all day long while I do work on my computer. The earcups are very comfortable and outside sound is practically eliminated. I can adjust the pressure against my ears so that it is in the most comfortable position.
The coiled cord on the headset is just right for the installation that I have, with the tuner within reach.
Solid electronic equipment by hardnozehockey ,Sep 29 '03
Pros: Bass, general sound performance, accessories Cons: Bass is a little overwhelming, but not that bad.
I read many of the reviews before and I just had to support / negate the other reviews. First of all, the money you spend on these headphones mostly goes to the Sony name. I've noticed that they tend to price their products anywhere between 10 to 20% more than their competitors. However, this pricetag does come with it's benefits. Aside from the superficial aspects of the unit, the headphones do a very good job at sealing the ears and blocking background noise. The bass is a bit high and tends to muffle the mids and lows, but unless you are listening to classical music, it won't make much difference. Most people don't have perfect hearing; in fact, if you are one of the millions that have attending a few night clubs or a outdoor music event, you most likely have lost a good percentage of your hearing already. As far as the rest of the package concerns, the length of the cord is nice, the bag is handy, and the additional sized jack is always a nice addition. Either way, this is definetly a good product even with the slight expensive nature of Sony.
Loved 'em but they fell apart by cemp2000 ,May 01 '05
Pros: Sound quality; zero distortion; looks. Cons: They fell apart.
I wish I'd done more thorough research before buying these headphones! It seems the problem that I suffered with is seriously common. Have just thrown mine away. Casing cracked around the swivelling ear cover. What a pain; they were 6 months old. In those 6 months I'd grown to love them. The sound quality is awesome. Just the right level of max volume... with zero distortion. I travel across the Atlantic a lot for work and they were a godsend on these long flights with iPod/iTunes.
Having now done more thorough research I am going to order some Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and hope they can match the Sony's sound but be a bit more durable!
Pros: Sound great, wonderful sound reproduction, look slick Cons: Temporary headphones...the swivel ear joint breaks after a few years
Well the short and quick version....
I got these headphones to replace my MDR-7506 studio monitors....for doing turntable mixing and wanted a more dj oriented headphone.
So they serve me wonderfully for about 2 1/2 years. Eventually the plastic swivel joint on the ear cracks and the speaker falls off. As I sit here and write this, my 700's are donned by high performance rubber bands and jb weld.
Like I said, the sound of the headphones is absolutely stellar. I don't think I've heard a better set before. And that's whats so disappointing.....such a great device in such a cheap shell.....
I will be replacing them with a pair of MDR-7509's, the studio monitor model. Same exact headphone internals, better, more comfortable, and MOST IMPORTANTLY NO SWIVEL EAR THINGEY.
Oh do I have some words for these Headphones by djmic ,Nov 04 '04
Pros: Last you some months and they sound really good. Cons: Construction is cheap (joints will break and ear pads will tear)forget crazy glue.
I admit that I was sold by the look and the color match to the Technic 1200's. I went through 3 pairs and just finally gave up on them. I take care of my equipment very well. 15 year veteran DJ. djmixmstr@aol.com
Good sound, poor construction by javaguy ,Jan 20 '04
Pros: Great sound Cons: Poor construction
This is a very quick review. They sound great, but the construction quality is a let down. Eventually most pairs of these develop cracks in the swivelling part of the headphone, then the earpiece falls off. I recommend going for the Sony MDR-V900s or an alternate pair because of this.
Pros: Insane power handling, over-ear design, carry case, looks, performance, functionality, professional headphones. Cons: Weight, cord length, bass can be overpowering, price, can draw funny looks.
I stress the words Dj because if you attempt to a.) produce music or b.) enjoy music for hours on end, these phones will not be satisfactory. They excel for Dj use because they have increased emphasis on bass, which is what Dj's need to match beat tempo, etc. Yet, if you attempt to produce music it will come out muddy and sound off or distorted through regular speakers. Also, they are quite heavy so your ears will get numb after a few hours of listening to music.
Yet, these are awesome headphones for simply enjoying music.. very loudly I might add.
The ear cups swivel all around, though it's fairly pointless.. it sure looks cool.
I still recommend these headphones, despite all the cons. They are awesome and they don't wear out, despite what the other people may have said, mine have lasted almost a year now with no cracks or anything.
The over-ear design, I might add, helps when you listen at night or in public when you may not want other people hearing your music.
