Sony MDR V500DJ Ear-cup 24 Ohm Headphone

The MDR-V500DJ closed supra-aural headphones provide top-end comfort and sound quality. The headphones are part of Sony's Studio Monitor Series and are built with high-end materials using advanced sound engineering. They are designed to meet the demands of professional and high fidelity users. Sony's closed type headphones allow only a limited amount of ambient noise into the ear canal, giving your attention fully to the music. The padded earcups fit comfortably, hour after hour. For those who like to use the headphones for single-sided monitoring, these MDR-V500s come with swivel earcups. The earcups are also reversible, and have been designed to be comfortable for on-shoulder use. The supra-aural design is engineered for excellent listening comfort. With this design, the earcups rest lightly on the ear, while the driver units are positioned along the ear canal for ideal sound transport. The wide, molded headband distributes the headphone's weight evenly. The headphones are foldable for easy storage and portability; when folded, the headphones will easily fit in a backpack or purse. The three meter cord (ten feet) is made of oxygen-free copper wiring for maximum conductivity and minimal noise. Sony has installed several key features to these headphones to enhance their sound quality. The forty millimeter drive units delivers a deep bass sound and a wide dynamic range (the frequency range extends down to 10 Hz.) Both the stereo mini-plug and the UniMatch phone plug are gold-plated to make sure sound is transported fully and accurately. The gold-plated treatment also helps resist corrosion and supports the headphones' high conductivity and low noise. The neodymium magnets allow for superb power at a minimum size; these magnets provide more magnetic energy than other inferior magnets. Finally, the PET diaphragm works to deliver low distortion. Excellent fit, excellent compatibility, excellent portability and excellent sound: these headphones fit the bill for a sound professional.

Don't waste your money, these headphones are slightly better than the $20 MDR-V150 headphones in overall sound but the bass is no different and in some cases worse. I had a pair of Denons that were the same price as these but the same size as the MDR

DJ Nik Gnashers's Review of Sony MDR-V500DJ Headphones

On my 2nd pair of the Sony MDR-V500DJ headphones. The 1st set lasted me 3 years before the swivel joints where each cup joins the headband snapped. I actually taped them up with electrical tape and still have them, and to be fair, they still work gre

Break very easily. Only a 90-day warranty. $42.00 repair cost.

I received these headphones about a year and a half ago. I thought they were great until they broke today. I was simply putting them on when the cheap plastic just below the headband snapped in half. They were very well cared for and other than this problem they are still in perfect condition....

The Sony MDR-V500DJ 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. Afterwards, your ears get used to the headphones and my ears didn't hurt.So I would...

easy listening

Nice product, confortable, excelent for personal use, at home or at studio fits quite well, people complains about not sounding hard enough at while playing at open and noisy spaces, but if you're using it for your self its very enjoyable.

goods headphone, easy to handle

Like the swivel technigue, fits pretty well, use it more for gaming than for playing music, which means that after some hours your ears start to hurt a little bit, but I guess that's with pretty much every headphone the case. It has a good full body volume sound and the price is very resaonable.

O.K.

these headphones are alright. they are well made. I had a pair of stanton Dj pro 3000's with better drivers but their cunstruction sucks they broke at the adustment band. These phones are not as capable of producing the same sound but they are built better therefore I recomend them.

Sound is OK, uncomfortable to wear

The sound is fine enough (maybe a little lacking in substance) and it seals off any outer noise very well. However, my biggest complaint is that I can't really wear them for more than an hour at a time. They pinch quite tightly around my ears and if I'm wearing glasses as well, it's downright...
