Amazon.com Product Description
Sony's MDRV700DJ series DJ headphones feature convenient, reversible swivel earcups for DJ and remix applications (great for single-sided monitoring) and an auto-return swivel mechanism that snaps the earcups back to standard listening positions. Silver finished for a sleek, professional look, the set's folding design allows for easy storage and portability. These headphones use high-end materials and advanced engineering for critically clean, exceptionally clear sound aimed at professional and high-fidelity applications. The MDRV700DJ offers 3,000 mW power handling for the most stringent professional applications and daily use at very high output levels. Their Neodymium magnets pack more magnetic energy per ounce than conventional Ferrite, Samarium Cobalt, or Aluminum magnets for high sensitivity and output (107 dB/mW). The headphones supra-aural design ensures excellent listening comfort, resting lightly on the ears, and creates a controlled environment for better sound. A wide, molded headband distributes the headphone's weight over your whole head; reduced pressure means comfortable listening for hours on end. The MDRV700DJ even has a serrated area on the plug that acts as a "hanger"--plugged into a rack of equipment, the headphones can hang on the plug when not in use. Large, 50 mm drivers deliver deep bass down to an impressive subsonic 5 Hz and provide outstanding dynamic range, bolstered by Sony's use of a neodymium magnet for maximal energy from minimal size. A detachable, single-sided cord lets you listen at a distance of 10 feet from your source, while its oxygen-free-copper design delivers maximal conductivity with minimal noise.

 Tested against my friends Bose October 11, 2008
NateVaughn
I had to buy headphones for three reasons. 1. I live in an apartment that isn't "noise" friendly. 2. I love music and movies 3. I play music professionally and needed some good monitor headphones that sound like live shows (extra bass).
Ok Cons first.
1.Yes they are heavier then most headphones (get over this quickly unless you are old or you have the neck of a 4 year old child).
2. You will look ridiculous in these (unless your ego is as big as mine)
3. Thats all the cons
Now the pros
1. These Headphones kicked the crap out of my friends Bose he left at my house. Ok my friend works for a company I will not tell you (starts with A ends with pple) So he got a discount on the Bose Headphones. I tried them on and was very happy about the acoustic sound and light weight. Yet when the bass came into the song there was none. Bose do not make anything that gets past the mid range and anyone who buys from them knows this (if it doesn't have a sub there is no bass people).
2. When watching movies at home the 1/4 jack packs extra punch. I have a Onkyo receiver hooked up to a 7.1 jbl system usually watching movies from my ps3 through the digital optical port directly into my onkyo. So when action sequences start I want to hear them. These headphones work perfectly and give me the bass that I spent so much money getting and not being able to use at 2 a.m. in the morning. These headphones make the perfect substitute to my terrible hours and need to watch movies late at night.
3. The Price. My friend spent $120 on his and obviously loves them because he left them at my house for over 3 weeks now. I actually got these at B & H photo for $89 and a 2 year warranty for $11 (sorry amazon I still love you). Also now that I have these people that frequently "crash" at my place know to use these and not wake me up in the morning (afternoon).
Overall nothing will ever be perfect and yes they are a bit clunky for the lazy in all of us but the price and sound quality definitely make up the difference.

these are great headphones my only complaint would be the built in eq; sounds good but is not accurate to the sound out put for live shows.
 Review from a DJ, after extended use September 2, 2008

The Sony 700s are pretty much a standard in the DJ world. They deliver decent enough sound with minimal distortion... but that's about where the pros of the 700 end.
Any deejay that has ever *used* these will tell you two things:
1) The swivel arm casing (tubular plastic in design) will crack and eventually snap in half. When this happens the ear cup will dangle by the wires... :(
2) The cable itself is of poor design and the right side will eventually die, leaving that side useless. I'll explain a way to ensure this doesn't happen below. This is especially an issue when using any of the Pioneer mixers (pretty much the standard mixer in all the clubs I've played) if you have an Empath this wont be an issue.
You could fix the arm casing if you wanted by using super glue or something, but for the price you shouldn't need to do that.
Don't get me wrong, I like everything about them aside from the above, it's just that you can do better with the Technics and about the same with the Pioneer headphones.
If you plan on using these for home use in a controlled environment (aka you're not letting others use them) they should work out well.
As for the cable, most of the deejays I know all use a similar trick to help preserve the life of it, it's simple:
Take the "plug" in your left hand. with your right hand grab the cable where the coils begin. Wrap the first 4-5 coils around the black part of the plug, carefully ensuring that the wrap is secure.
If you should end up with a loop at the top of the cable. When pulling on the cord the stress will transfer to the coil wrapped on the plug and not the more fragile portion at the top of the plug.
This will make your cable outlast the rest of your headphones... long after the casings have snapped in half, been reglued and snapped again... your cable will still function.

Sony Headphones Review July 23, 2008
I.Q.
These headphones are a must buy. They are very comfortable and have really good sound. I use them for music, games, movies, and tv shows that I play on my computer and the sound is teriffic. They have just the right amount of bass, and are really good for games especially. I would recommend these headphones to anyone. In order for these headphones to last they have to be taken care of really carefully because the plastic that holds the cups on will crack if you're careless. Overall, these headphones are a great purchase and I will buy these again.
