Summary: Break very easily. Only a 90-day warranty. $42.00 repair cost.
Comment: I received these headphones about a year and a half ago. I thought they were great until they broke today. I was simply putting them on when the cheap plastic just below the headband snapped in half. They were very well cared for and other than this problem they are still in perfect condition. $80 headphones should not break this easily!
The 90-day limited warranty obviously will not do me any good.
Sony wants to charge me $42.00 (not including taxes or the cost to ship them there) just to repair them or replace them with refurbished ones. I'm very, very disappointed and I would not recommend any
Sony headphones to anyone.
Stick with Koss headphones. They're in the same price range (many comparable models are actually less expensive) and Koss actually upholds the LIFETIME "no questions asked" warranty on their products. I'll never buy any
Sony headphones again, and I will examine all other
Sony products for cheap, easily breakable parts and short, limited warranties before I purchase them.
Customer Rating: Summary: The Sony MDR-V500DJ are great!
Comment: Before I bought the
Sony MDR-V500DJ I had heard that they hurt your ears a lot, that usually made me not want to buy them. It is true that at first the headphones hurt my ears, but it's only in the beginning. Afterwards, your ears get used to the headphones and my ears didn't hurt.
So I would greatly recommend the headphones because they have some good quality sound, specially if your into loud techno like myself. The bass and the rotating earcups are great, they are nice to wear around your neck.
Overall the earphones are great.
