I have earings and the earpieces iritated them cause of the pressure. i took them off and the plastic just snapped off.
it got weak and just snapped. there's no structure support for something under pressure against your head.
I bought my V500 2 years ago. the right ear felt wierd.
what a waist of $$ now i have to go buy new ones. they did the job, I took great care of them.
one day while on air I picked them up and put them on.
*no headphone amp required. I'd spend $100 on these (if I ever needed to)in a second. I am not sure what some reviewers here mean. I have never found the sound on this pair to be anywhere near muffled or veiled.
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. I have experience with high end headphones, but have even more with DJ headphones(4 years alone, with this pair). 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). The tonal representation and overall balance works VERY well for beat matching, and blending in sounds. 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. 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.
The high frequencies are never harsh; they are rather laid back and balanced. I've never really loved ANY Sony products, as most are for the masses, and not really catered for any specialty use. 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. 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. all the way- for simple one-ear monitoring). They're driven very easily, which is great for mp3 listeners with an I-pod.or any other portable audio device/player. Give them a try and see if it fits your bill. Good luck =0)
This model has honestly worked more than "good enough" for my DJ needs. 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. Very fair for their price, and well worth it. While it isn't for audiophile listening, or reference-grade mastering work, the sound quality is very good. They're light enough to never be a burden, they fold away so you can store, or transport them wherever you wish. 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. The bass was clean, crisp, and very deep. 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.
No way to repairPROS:Sound quality is perfect for DJing. CONS:Used these for 1 year DJing, and the swivel cup broke.
They were very well cared for and other than this problem they are still in perfect condition. Stick with Koss headphones. 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'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'm very, very disappointed and I would not recommend any Sony headphones to anyone.
I received these headphones about a year and a half ago. The 90-day limited warranty obviously will not do me any good. 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.
I was simply putting them on when the cheap plastic just below the headband snapped in half. $80 headphones should not break this easily.
The bass and the rotating earcups are great, they are nice to wear around your neck. 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. Overall the earphones are great. 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.
