Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-V700DJ DJ Style Monitor Series HeadphonesDigital camera Review: Tested against my friends Bose Summary: 5 StarsI had to buy headphones for three reasons. 1. I live in an apartment that isn't "noise" friendly. 2. I love music and movies 3. I play music professionally and needed some good monitor headphones that sound like live shows (extra bass).
Ok Cons first.
1.Yes they are heavier then most headphones (get over this quickly unless you are old or you have the neck of a 4 year old child).
2. You will look ridiculous in these (unless your ego is as big as mine)
3. Thats all the cons
Now the pros
1. These Headphones kicked the crap out of my friends Bose he left at my house. Ok my friend works for a company I will not tell you (starts with A ends with pple) So he got a discount on the Bose Headphones. I tried them on and was very happy about the acoustic sound and light weight. Yet when the bass came into the song there was none. Bose do not make anything that gets past the mid range and anyone who buys from them knows this (if it doesn't have a sub there is no bass people).
2. When watching movies at home the 1/4 jack packs extra punch. I have a Onkyo receiver hooked up to a 7.1 jbl system usually watching movies from my ps3 through the digital optical port directly into my onkyo. So when action sequences start I want to hear them. These headphones work perfectly and give me the bass that I spent so much money getting and not being able to use at 2 a.m. in the morning. These headphones make the perfect substitute to my terrible hours and need to watch movies late at night.
3. The Price. My friend spent $120 on his and obviously loves them because he left them at my house for over 3 weeks now. I actually got these at B & H photo for $89 and a 2 year warranty for $11 (sorry amazon I still love you). Also now that I have these people that frequently "crash" at my place know to use these and not wake me up in the morning (afternoon).
Overall nothing will ever be perfect and yes they are a bit clunky for the lazy in all of us but the price and sound quality definitely make up the difference.
Summary of Sony MDR-V700DJ DJ Style Monitor Series HeadphonesThe Sony MDR-V700DJ Studio Monitor Series DJ headphones are superb performers whether you are spinning before a writhing mob, mixing a soon-to-be platinum CD, or melting into an old sofa in the Chill Out Room.

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.
