Great Headphones

I originally bought these headphones in fall 2002 as a way to block out my roommate in college while I was getting into music. It was one of the best purchases I've made. The sound is phenomenal! Incredible frequency range, 50mm drivers, very comfortable, the swivel ear cup is great for monitoring while spinning. On top of the incredible features they also look very very cool and have lived up to 5 years of abuse. They work great as a monitoring system for those who have personal studios in their apartments with less then flexible neighbors when it comes to noise levels.

These headphones looked cool, but I really wasn't expecting what I heard when I plugged them in. I will have to say that I heard things I have never heard with headphones before, especially the unmuddied bass. I found myself sitting there grooving to the music instead of laboring through it like I most often do when tracking and monitoring. I could listen through these for hours. These headphones might just spoil me.

Great Headphones - Good Price

The Sony MDR-V700DJ Stereo DJ Headphones are THE STANDARD, DE-FACTO DJ HEADPHONES in the industry and on the market. Period. And for good reason. The sound quality on these monitor headphones are superb and I actually went through 2 pairs before I upgraded to the MDR-V900 & MDR-7509's. The frequency response is excellent and you can hear High's as well as Low's very, very well. If you have never heard music through high quality headphones such as these, then you will be amazed at the Bass quality on these, as headphones aren't known for thumping bass and crystal clear highs!

Other Headphones that are perfect for DJ monitoring however are extremely excellent for studio monitoring are the:

Pioneer HDJ-1000
(5 to 30,000 Hz Frequency Response)
&
Stanton DJ PRO-3000
(16 - 22,000 Hz Frequency Response)

The Sony MDR-V700DJ's F.R. is around 10 - 20,000-25,000 Hz, while their next better models, the MDR-V900 & MDR-7509 is 5Hz-30kHz (same as Pioneer HDJ-1000's)

The Pioneer SE DJ-5000 headphones are also great DJ headphones but aren't quite as good as the Sony MDR-V700DJ, Pioneer HDJ-1000, or Stanton DJPRO-3000. Sweetwater carries the Sony MDR-7509's, which are in the same class as the Sony MDR-V900...I'm not sure which is better, but they both have the same Frequency Response, Gold Connectors, 50mm Driver Units...the 7509 is "Circum-Aural" Design while the MDR-V900 is "Aura-Nomic" Design.
