Studio Quality
The MDR-V700DJs incorporate high-end materials and advanced engineering to provide a clean, detailed sound for professional applications.
Reversible Swivel Earcups
For DJ and remix applications, these headphones enable single-sided monitoring. DJs can listen to house sound with one ear while they cue up the next track with the other. Also convenient for on-shoulder use.
Auto Swivel Return
This mechanism brings the earcups back to standard listening position, another handy touch from Sony.
Power and Fidelity
The MDR-V700DJs boast 3000 mW power handling, for the most brutal of professional applications. These cans will stand up to day-in, day-out use, at serious output levels.
For maximum energy and minimum size Sony chose Neodymium magnets. These pack more magnetic energy per ounce than conventional Ferrite, Samarium Cobalt, or Aluminum magnets, and help produce ample sound output--107 dB/mW sensitivity.
Last but not least, 50 mm diameter drive units dish out reference-grade sound, superior power handling without the distortion, and way deeper bass, extending all the way down to a ridiculous 5 Hz.
Comfortable, Supra-Aural (On-Ear) Design
The MDR-V700DJs rest lightly on the ear, and the driver is positioned the correct distance from the ear canal, for a controlled environment and better sound.
A wide, molded headband evenly distributes the headphone's weight, for comfortable listening hours on end.
Precious Metals
Gold-plated plugs resist corrosion for high conductivity and low noise. Ditto on the oxygen-free copper cord, which also conducts electricity better than conventional copper.
Convenient Design
A folding design makes for easy storage and easy portability in a briefcase or equipment bag. As an added bonus, a serrated area on the plug acts as a "hanger," providing a spot to hang the phones when plugged into a rack of equipment.

And please do note that this is not a trivial fact. Everything in them is designed to suit this purpose, and no other. The bass is such a prominent force in them because that's exactly what you need when cueing songs. I've tested them in indoor and outdoor parties and they are invincible. Beatmatching is a pleasure because you can identify the bassy elements of a song with immense accuracy and definition.I personally don't think they are for listening, say, with a portable device or at home with a Hi-Fi. They are way to bassy in their overall delivery of sound. But please don't get me wrong: they are not meant to be used to 5 hours of John Coltrane or Debussy, but they are beautiful to any bass oriented genre and the on-off-on-off environment of DJing. For home/portable use, I strongly recommend the Sony 7506s. They are lightweight, extremely comfortable and have a perfect...Read more 167 of 188 people found the following review helpful:  Hope You Have Cash, This review is from: Sony MDR-V700DJ DJ-Style Monitor Series Headphones (Electronics) You should know a couple things before you read this review. One, I'm not a DJ and most likely never will be. I'm just a 15-year-old kid who likes his hip-hop. I'm not sure what difference it makes, other than the single-sided-monitoring feature...after all, regular listeners like good sound, too...but I thought I'd add it, anyway. Also, I've never owned really high-quality headphones until now. Before, all I had was the $20 behing-the-neck kind. So I guess this review is mostly aimed at non-DJs who haven't had expensive headphones before.So the obvious question is, is it worth this much money? I got these as a Christmas gift, but I knew the price. I know sound quality is the type of thing where you pay a lot for a little, but for an extra $130 I expected there to be some pretty noticeable enhancements. There were. You get a more full sound with these than with cheaper kinds. It's clearer and richer. The way the earphones cover your entire ear makes it so you can hear...Read more 91 of 102 people found the following review helpful: Great at first, but falls apart; then glued back on and going strong after 12 years of use!, By SL (RI) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sony MDR-V700DJ DJ-Style Monitor Series Headphones (Electronics) Update:[ June 2011]
After the swivel joints broke back in 2000 (around three years of use), I was able to easily put them back using super glue. Since then, I have purchased and used other headphones but still occasionally use the v700 headphones. It's definitely very worn out--the (replaceable) padding is cracked and the fit feels a bit loose--but, they still sound great and the joints have not broken off again. Yeah, after it was literally broken-in, they prove to stand strong with some glue on the joints--I've DJ'd with them, slept with them, and dropped them and I am still using them with joy. It's been with me for over ten years! I got it a few years after I graduated from college (DJ'd with them) and now I am almost 40 with 2 kids and, I still use them! Amazing. Now, I will use them with care. {Original "review" from 2004] When I first purchased these headphones back in 1998,I would have given these earphones 5 stars. But after around 3 years of use,...Read more |
