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.

 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.
 cant go wrong August 1, 2008
These are awesome. I use mine mostly for gaming on my laptop but the sound if amazing for music. Stylish and I got mine for a great price on here. I'm more than happy with my decision.
Sony Headphones Review July 23, 2008
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.
Great headphones July 10, 2008
I have only had these headphones for about 2 months but so far my experience with them has been excellent. I use them mostly on my computer or ipod but they also sound great on the stereo using the plug attachment. I am not a dj and never will be, but I listen mostly to rock and these headphones have a good deep bass and clear vocals. They will fit pretty much any size head and have large, well-padded ear cups. They are very comfortable for extended use, I have worn them for hours at a time without any problems at all. Don't block out much noise, but work well in most situations.
They are very comfortable and have great sound, and if you can find a deal on them somewhere, they are one of the best headphones out there.
 excellent quality, but big, heavy and too hot July 6, 2008
bought this phone just for casual usage, to listen music and movies at home.
on the plus side, the quality is awesome, excellent bass and good isolation from external noises.
on the minuses, this thing is bulky and super heavy. It causes too much pressure on your head and hurts just a few minutes after putting them on. Also the cups make way too much heat, and you can barely stay with them on after an hour or so.
It may be a good headphone for DJs (that are constantly putting them on and off), but for continuous usage there may be better options.
