Summary: Good Choice
Review: So these really are the best Dj/Remix headphones out there right now, for this price. As you should know the sound is great, they have huge Drivers 50mm or something crazy so that Bass kicks which is nice when you are spinning records. Now they do have some minor down sides. Those being that the the shape of the actually earphone is round, which is kind of odd and does not give you/me the real comfy fit that you get with oval shaped ear phones. Also the leather on the ear piece has been known to crack very quickly. I have had mine for less than 8 months and the leather is already cracking on them. But otherwise they are a gem and a good buy for anyone looking for a good set of headphones, regardless of if you are "DJ" or not. 100% worth the money.

Summary: Great sound, lousy construction
Review: They sound great, with a lot of emphasis in the lower end, nice mid, but the high end is a little weak. The problem with these headphones is after a while (between 6 months and 3 years) almost all of them break - a plastic rotating part breaks. This happens a lot, it's not an isolated fault, and I was very careful with mine.Look at the Sony MDR-V900s, that don't have the rotating cups, so should be more durable. Alternately Sennheiser HD 280 Pro or Koss a/130 are worth a look.

Summary: Hope You Have Cash
Review: You should know a couple things before you read this review. One, I'm not a DJ and most likely never will be. I'm just a 15-year-old kid who likes his hip-hop. I'm not sure what difference it makes, other than the single-sided-monitoring feature...after all, regular listeners like good sound, too...but I thought I'd add it, anyway. Also, I've never owned really high-quality headphones until now. Before, all I had was the $20 behing-the-neck kind. So I guess this review is mostly aimed at non-DJs who haven't had expensive headphones before. So the obvious question is, is it worth this much money? I got these as a Christmas gift, but I knew the price. I know sound quality is the type of thing where you pay a lot for a little, but for an extra $130 I expected there to be some pretty noticeable enhancements. There were. You get a more full sound with these than with cheaper kinds. It's clearer and richer. The way the earphones cover your entire ear makes it so you can hear all the details, so it sounds complete. These aren't amazing changes, but they are definite improvements. But the biggest change, of course, is the bass. You don't just hear the bass. You can feel it. It vibrates in your ear. If you take off the headphones and press the earcups together, you can feel them shake with the bass. It gives the music more of a vibe, a kick, an extra level of intensity, whatever you want to call it. I was afraid it would overpower the rest of the music, namely the vocals, but the treble instruments and vocals still come through clear. There's not much of a bad side. My ears hurt from being bent into the headphones sometimes, but that was true with my old ones, and it never bothered me that much, anyway. A slight adjustment fixes it, and you usually can't feel it except when you take the headphones on or off. The only really annoying thing so far is that in some songs the snare drums come out really sharp, so I have to turn the volume down. It seems to have a pretty strong design, so you'll probably be fine if you don't put them under too much stress. Not much of a price to pay. But $150 is a pretty big price to pay. Listening to music on these isn't a spectacular, life-altering experience. It's a noticeable enhancement. But if you take into account that it extends to every single CD in your collection, it's probably worth it.

Summary: great for DJs, for whom they are intended.
Review: Anyone looking to purchase these headphones should note: they were designed and advertised for DJ use specifically. And by DJ, I mean the live-performance variety, not the studio-technician variety. And, for DJs, these headphones are excellent. The actual physical configuration of the headphones is clearly designed for DJ use, with easily folding, individually rotating cups for single-side monitoring. They are also designed to rest close to the ear which, although it may make your ears hot and uncomfortable if you use them for prolonged home listening, is ideal for DJs because they effectively cancel noise up to extremely high volumes (I've used these in both a small party and club setting, and have found the non-electronic cancellation to be more than adequate for both). The actual sound styling is typical of Sony, with the quality generally reflecting the price. I listen to a variety of music through these: in addition to hip hop & house for club use, i listen to various other electronica, various rock, lots of acoustic music and a ton of a capella. The headphones perform admirably in all cases. The bass is strong without being overbearing, the mids are balanced and the highs are clear without being ringy or piercing. Please note my initial admonition again, however: these headphones are designed for DJs. For your money, you can probably find a better set for home use by Sennheiser, or similar, which aren't geared torward performance/studio use. In addition, other reviewers are right: the headphones get uncomfortable after prolonged use (I found that after about 30 minutes to an hour of home use, I felt the need to take them off and massage my ears for a bit, as these fit tight and are a bit heavy). The only reason I would ever recommend against these for DJs is if you plan on spinning for an extraordinarily extended period of time, because they are slightly heavier than the v600s and the extra weight, while usually unnoticable, can become an issue if you're spinning upwards of five or six hours.

Summary: Fall apart after a year
Review: I see a lot of glowing reviews around here, but when I buy headphones this expensive, I expect them to last more than a year. The real problem here is that they have lots of tiny plastic joints. This means that all those joints will crack over time, and even with me supergluing it back together constantly, these headphones just would not last. I now have Grado SR-80s, and they sound better and will last much longer, seeing as they lack plastic joints.

Summary: Nice Headphones
Review: I tested out a couple of the other headphones along with these and I found these to be the best. I tried the Bose Tri-Ports and the bass was good but it drounded out the mids and the highs were kind of ringy. I also tried the sony mdr-v600's and I was very dissapointed with those. The lows and mids were ok, and they had good bass, but the highs piercing. Finally I tried these and they were definately worth the money. The Bass is perfect due to the 50mm drivers and the mids are clear. The highs are a little hissy if you turn up the volume loud...but that is just on a standard cd player with no equilizer. They sound good with a cd/mp3 player or computer, but they sound much better if you have them for DJ use or if you have some type of equalizer. Overall I would say they are a good deal for the money and they are some of the best phones out there.

Summary: The good the bad the pretty
Review: The best thing about these headphones r the looks. Yeah they have bigger drivers for more sound...however, I would recommend the MDRV600's for most dj's. The benefits of these (600's) are: Lighter, cheaper, and they're more comfortable when wearing them in a traditional fahshion (i.e. listening with both ears)
The 700's main feature which is very convenient for the "ear to shoulder" cueing postion is its swivel ear cups. However, if u've ever worn the 700's on top of u'r head..they tend to fall off because the drivers are so heavy. If u plan on listening to music using both ears...ahhh the pain! Its like u'r head is in a vice grip. There you have it. I own both and use both. DJ Bomb recommends you to: save u'r money buy the 600's and use the saved money towards buying better tables/mixer/needles.

Summary: Great at first, but falls apart.
Review: Two years ago, I would have given these earphones 5 stars. I am not an audiophile and I have never tried on super-expensive headphones. I am sure there are better earphones out there. But these sounded great two years ago and still sounds perfect. People rave about these headphones and their praises are all true. BUT..these seemingly great quality earphones are actually not well built. They are made of plastic, so the first place that falls apart is the swivel joint that connects to the cups. Both left and right joints are cracking after two years of use. Luckily, it is still functional even with the cracks. The problem is that it is now a bit looser so it falls off from my head even more frequently. And we all know that these earphones (including the v600) are notorious when it comes to the deterioration of the padding on the ear cups. I just wish that it would last just a bit longer. I have been looking to replace these and I found the new pioneer hdj-1000 to be a possibility. It sounds just as good, it is definitely lighter and stays on the head steadier; and even though the construction is similar in that it is plastic, the swivel joints are built differenly from the V700DJs which makes me think they knew about this SONY's problem and they have found a way to prevent the joints from cracking.

Summary: Sounds good, but may not be what you want
Review: These headphones are very clean. Highs are crisp and lows offer no distortion. However, the low end response is not so good. At normal listening levels, I would like a lot more bass response and it's not there. If you crank up the volume, then the bass starts coming in. But I don't listen to music that way. Hope this helps in making a decision. If I had it to do over, I would have bought something different.
