Sony MDR-v500

[b0ld]

Bought it yesterday.... blown away as to how structurely insulated this thing is... Absolutely amazing. Unlike the other shitty headphones I had that eventually broke I can beatmatch with both cups on my ears with these new one's. Now I wanna get the v700's!

[CharlieTuna]

I personally love the v700's, and despite everyone else saying they break, mine are still in good condition.

[Toxxin Ephekt]

buddy....I had the 500's before...when my GF bought me my 700's....peace!!, the 500 are crap compared to the sound of the 700...

[Moon]

i started out with the 500's

they broke though =(

[FireWire]

i have both, the 500's for just over 2 years now and the 700's for just over a year and both are still in awesome condition.

the leather parts on the 500's is starting to wear out but they didn't break and the 700's are still like new.

i have the mdr-700 and i would never change them for anything, absolutly amazing, i love them!!!

My friend got a pair of MDR-V300 to use with his iPod. They are sort of "toy" DJ headphones, the bottom of the Sony line, and the sound is not that good but then again it's not that bad, and it's loud.

He got them for only $25! At Sears. I'd get some at that price but only for backup. Occasionally you find interesting oddball electronic stuff being discontinued at Sears and they will let you haggle the price down.

click only if you really really want to see these embarrassing headphones, which no international DJ would be caught dead with: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/l...ges/175499.jpg

Ya that's what I thought, I try and take good care of them as well, but sometimes it's hard to when you're at a club or whatever.

I like my 700s but they are overpriced for what you get IMO. They are pretty solid, sound good, but they wiegh a ton. If I wasnt in such a hurry to grab new cans when I got my setup, I probably would have gone with something else.

After 1.5 years though, and many many droppings they are still fine.

no matter how caution you are, you are BOUND to drop it, put things on it, twist it, etc.

Just got a pair of those.

They feel a little flimsy and the right headphone slips off the bar easily and the cord is a little too short but they sound *fucking fantastic*. Great isolation, incredible bass response (but still retaining a flat sound) and pretty comfortable.

Just gotta be careful with them when taking them DJing in clubs.

[Wood]

^they sound really nice, but they look/feel like $20 headphones... i'm seriously afraid i'm gonna step on yours one Friday in that cramped dj booth, and they'll crack like an egg shell...

[dj_soo]

you stay the hell away from my headphones

[DjAshes]

The sony MDRV500'S and 700's have an amazing warranty on them. I bought my headphones like 4-5 years ago and I've gone through about 6 pairs. Anytime I have anything wrong with them, and I mean ANYTHING (i've even lied about the quality getting shitty because the cord was pissing me off) and i get a new pair. Buy the extended warranty and anywhere you go, if anything happens you get a new pair on the spot.

Yes, they have issues with cracking but just as long as you aren't being a knob they should last you at least a year. After that just get a new pair. simple as that

My dad has old Sennheiser's for his hifi system. Still decent headphones, I am actually picking up some hd25's real soon. I've heard nothing but great things about these babies, and the price isn't that big of a hit.

Exactly.

[decypher]

I was never a fan of Sony's. I use the 500s right now for personal mp3 listening. But i'm thinking of getting these http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite...transid=005178
A buddy at work has them and they are comfortable as hell and sound great.

I have senn hd280s for mixing and although the isolation and sound are amazing, they can get pretty damn uncomfortable. Senn's all the way though.

if he is just using them with his iPod thats perfectly fine.
when he starts using them when he is mixing, then slap him.

Theres also this new Senn HD215 model -might be some reviews by now. I have HD280s too but the headband ends have cracked and broken easily. I taped up the ends with many layers of electrical tape after the most recent warranty repair and that seems to be working. The 280s are OK, not much bass and dorky big.

^^ Yeh i had the same headband problem, just a few layers of descrete electrical tape and haven't had a problem since. I agree though, it is sort of like wearing a huge vice grip on your head

[decypher]

Shit these hd215's do look pretty dope...
