Summary: Amazingy clear headphones, thumpin bass!!!
Comment: 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!

Summary: Uncomfortable, overpriced
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: Not Only For DJ's and Even For Classical
Comment: 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.
