it got weak and just snapped. i took them off and the plastic just snapped off.
they did the job, I took great care of them. I bought my V500 2 years ago.
the right ear felt wierd. I have earings and the earpieces iritated them cause of the pressure.
one day while on air I picked them up and put them on. there's no structure support for something under pressure against your head.
what a waist of $$ now i have to go buy new ones.
The high frequencies are never harsh; they are rather laid back and balanced. They're light enough to never be a burden, they fold away so you can store, or transport them wherever you wish. They're driven very easily, which is great for mp3 listeners with an I-pod.or any other portable audio device/player. I have never found the sound on this pair to be anywhere near muffled or veiled. This model has honestly worked more than "good enough" for my DJ needs.
I am not sure what some reviewers here mean. Very fair for their price, and well worth it. I've never really loved ANY Sony products, as most are for the masses, and not really catered for any specialty use. The tonal representation and overall balance works VERY well for beat matching, and blending in sounds.
They're very user- friendly, as the cups move in most needed directions (perfect for DJ's, when in need of shouldering the phones during a mix, or folding a cup in. I just ordered a pair of Denon d2000's for mid-level critical listening, I own Sennheiser 650's with Equinox cables for a serious musical experience, and these headphones will never be outdone for their special purposes. The bass was clean, crisp, and very deep. Will you feel as if you're in the front row of a concert.or on stage, or hearing a singer breathing or spitting on their mic, probably not. Give them a try and see if it fits your bill.
I have experience with high end headphones, but have even more with DJ headphones(4 years alone, with this pair). all the way- for simple one-ear monitoring). I found them to be extremely comfortable, enough for hours of work at a time, as well as hanging out on your recliner.enjoying a CD. These headphones are simply an all- around great pair that you will not regret purchasing if you accept its limits, which are not many at all. Accurate reproduction of the source is what you get, with a bit of dark coloration, rather than reference-quality neutrality.With the exception of earcup-padding deterioration (after 4 years of continual use.and serious abuse), these have never failed me, faltered, or fallen apart in any way. *no headphone amp required. While it isn't for audiophile listening, or reference-grade mastering work, the sound quality is very good.
If you want high-end, then be prepared to spend $350 on AKG, Senn, Grado, Proline, or Beyrdynamic, upwards to $4,000 on Stax ear-speakers + specialty cables (yes, you do need those also, $200+ on top of that). You will feel as if you're in the center of the dance floor, which is what I am guessing its intended use is for. They have and do serve their purpose; (professional, bedroom DJ'ing, casual reviewing of material on your home system, game playing, or simply listening to a good tune- regardless of genre) with enough (coiled, and irreplaceable) cord length for all of the above. I'd spend $100 on these (if I ever needed to)in a second. Good luck =0)
CONS:Used these for 1 year DJing, and the swivel cup broke. No way to repairPROS:Sound quality is perfect for DJing.
I received these headphones about a year and a half ago. 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. The 90-day limited warranty obviously will not do me any good.
I was simply putting them on when the cheap plastic just below the headband snapped in half. I'm very, very disappointed and I would not recommend any Sony headphones to anyone. I thought they were great until they broke today.
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. They were very well cared for and other than this problem they are still in perfect condition. $80 headphones should not break this easily.
Stick with Koss headphones. 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.
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. 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. The bass and the rotating earcups are great, they are nice to wear around your neck. Overall the earphones are great.
