Amazon.com Product Description
Sony's MDRV700DJ series DJ headphones feature convenient, reversible swivel earcups for DJ and remix applications (great for single-sided monitoring) and an auto-return swivel mechanism that snaps the earcups back to standard listening positions. Silver finished for a sleek, professional look, the set's folding design allows for easy storage and portability. These headphones use high-end materials and advanced engineering for critically clean, exceptionally clear sound aimed at professional and high-fidelity applications. The MDRV700DJ offers 3,000 mW power handling for the most stringent professional applications and daily use at very high output levels. Their Neodymium magnets pack more magnetic energy per ounce than conventional Ferrite, Samarium Cobalt, or Aluminum magnets for high sensitivity and output (107 dB/mW). The headphones supra-aural design ensures excellent listening comfort, resting lightly on the ears, and creates a controlled environment for better sound. A wide, molded headband distributes the headphone's weight over your whole head; reduced pressure means comfortable listening for hours on end. The MDRV700DJ even has a serrated area on the plug that acts as a "hanger"--plugged into a rack of equipment, the headphones can hang on the plug when not in use. Large, 50 mm drivers deliver deep bass down to an impressive subsonic 5 Hz and provide outstanding dynamic range, bolstered by Sony's use of a neodymium magnet for maximal energy from minimal size. A detachable, single-sided cord lets you listen at a distance of 10 feet from your source, while its oxygen-free-copper design delivers maximal conductivity with minimal noise.

 Amazingy clear headphones, thumpin bass!!! December 28, 2008
These matched with the Cowon D2 is simply crazy. The powerful amp in the D2 and the low impedance of the sony mdr-v700dj is a perfect match. I've heard that the plastic design of the headphones is prone to cracking but i've been snowboarding all year with them and putting a bit of stress on the rotating mechanism without failure. The highs and mids are very clear, while the bass can reach very low frequencies. I've also used these headphones in some pretty bad weather (dense fog, rain, and blizzard conditions) and was worried about them being damaged...they are still thumping strong so far!
Note: CORD DOES NOT DETATCH. December 11, 2008
People should know that the cord does not attach, it is firmly stuck in the left earpiece, Sony's got their *&$%ing copy wrong and I bought a product on mis-advertised terms. Grr. Otherwise phones are great.
 Uncomfortable, overpriced December 6, 2008
These have been my main headphones for years. I've used them for DJing, listening to music, video chatting, phone calls, everything.
The sound quality is OK.
The problem is they are _extremely_ uncomfortable. After maybe 20 minutes of work, your ears and the top of your head will hurt. You have to keep shifting them around to make them more comfortable.
The top band is heavy and hard.
The construction on these isn't amazing either. They are pretty creaky.
And with all that, they are way overpriced.
I haven't tried any other DJ headphones.
The only reason I was using these for so long is because I bought them and figured I would just use them. Recently I decided that enough was enough and I needed something more comfortable. I went to the electronics store and picked something that looked comfortable and was affordable. I ended up with the Panasonic RP-HT260 Monitor Headphones, for less than $30-- and less than $20 here on Amazon.
They are extremely comfortable, the sound quality is GREAT (I haven't had access to my V700s since I got the Panasonics, so I can't do a side-by-side-- but I'm fairly certain that the sound quality on the Panasonics is better), and the price can't be beat. The only thing is, they are pretty wimpy-- probably won't cut it for DJ use. Then again, at this price, you can _easily_ get a new pair every 6 months and it would still be cheaper than the V700s, and more comfortable. And actually, they isolate sound better too.
I would highly recommend not getting the V700s-- go to a local DJ shop and try on a few pairs of headphones and see which ones are the most comfortable.
Amazing SOUND! December 1, 2008
I'm not a DJ, but I DO LOVE music! These headphones make everything sound better! Sounds that I've never heard in songs are apparent with these! They are extremely comfortable, and that says a lot because I have a small head and it's been difficult to find headphones that I like. Highly recommended!
Not Only For DJ's and Even For Classical November 16, 2008

I bought these headphones for there great specs which they live up to. I listen primarily to classical music, but these are good for Rock and Pop as well. The bass is big, deep, and roomy. Your amplifier doesn't need much power to drive these and you can drive them to deafening loudness levels with no distortion. Even with the remarkable bass there is excellent imaging in the midrange and treble. The bass doesn't overpower the rest of the frequency range. Right now I am on the fence as which I would recommend: these Sony 700's or the Sony 7506's. The 7506's just seem a tad more accurate. If you are into Rock or Pop more and like beefier bass then I would opt for the 700's. I have no long term use with either. So I will defer to others as far as long term durability.
