Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sound, 21 Dec 2006
Just got these today and first thoughts when opening the box was "omg there tiny" but when i put them on i was sursprised that they covered my ears quite nicely and by as lightweight as they are i hardly noticed i had them on. The only draw back i have found about the fitting is they clamp to the sides of your head causing a little bit more pressure than im used to with headphones.

The sound repoduction is chrisp and well balanced through the ranges, the bass has`nt distorted once yet. Hearing outside noises is nearly impossible which is good if you want to get stuck into your music.

Pros :- great response to all ranges
loud & balanced
solid design

Cons :- Clamps to head, could get uncomfortable after prolonged use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent headphones, 23 Mar 2006
A lot of people on here seem to be judging these headphones purely on their bass capabilities. This is probably an important issue for Dj's etc but I personally haven't found any issue with the bass response.

The majority of the time I have these cans plugged into my computer, laptop or video camera. The sound quality is great and they do a really good job of limiting outside noise- particularly good when filming. I also use them to play bass guitar and the sound is great.

If i have a niggle my ears get a bit sore after prolonged use- 1 1/2 hours +, but I do have a big head.

:)

5.0 out of 5 stars ...erm... a review of the Sony MDR-V500 headphones..., 2 Aug 2004
By David Watts "chickenlunch" (Leeds, Great Britain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After reading the some of the reviews that were critical of the clarity of the bass frequencies of these headphones, I was slightly wary of buying them... but after looking at the specification, I couldn't for the life of me think why this could be possible - I mean it goes down to 10Hz for god's sake! So I took the plunge, and it has to be said, that these are the most comfortable, best sounding (they really let the sound breath... if you know what I mean...) headphones I've ever owned. The bass response is perfect - if you don't think you have enough, then it might help to turn the bass up on the device that you are playing from... or that just me?

These headphones are quite simply outstanding for the price.
