  1. CONS:

    Used these for 1 year DJing, and the swivel cup broke. No way to repair

    PROS:

    Sound quality is perfect for DJing.

  2. Good – Loud, Crisp Sound, Fairly Comfortable, Tough Bad – Big, Heavy, Large Heads Only

    I bought these as a replacment to the flimsy plastic headphones that came with my Discman. They definintely serve as a good replacement set for desk listening. They are quite bulky and “DJ” feature of the ear pieces makes them awkward to carry around in a bag. They do a great job helping me tune out the world around me. The cushy ear pads fit comfortably around my ears to seal them off from most outside noise. The bass is almost two much for my little brain – caused heavy brain vibration. The heavy duty construction is a strong selling point for these babies. You can break them with normal use and occasional drops. The do fit fairly snug on my bald head. However, even with my fairly large melon, I have to keep them on one of the smaller settings. The above metioned construction makes them heavy and they tend to slip quick. To prevent this slipping you have to have the cross piece rest directly on your head. Those of you with an afro or fluffy hair may want to consider another set of headphones.

  3. I bought one of these and one of the 300 model to test and compare. Although these were the more expensive model, and sounded better, volume was very low. The 300 was able to reproduce sound much louder despite the settings on any volume controls.

    However, if you’re a moderate-level user, and you’re looking for supurb sound quality, it’s here.

  4. 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.

  5. I bought these headphones about 4 years ago, and the sound was really good. It was full, round, and rich. The construction felt good, a bit heavy maybe, but was worth the sound quality. After 4 years the problem with the joint that seems to happend to everyone with the VX00DJ headphones, happened to me. It cracked from stress and the phones rendered themselves useless.

    I had been using these exclusively for four years and knew their sound quality well, so I thought it would be a good buy. I was sorely mistaken. The first thing I noticed was that the insulation on the cord was of a cheaper quality. Then when I used them, I noticed the sound was not the same. They sounded tinny and weak. Not at all the quality it used to be.

    So off I went to return them. I mentioned to the guy at the store that these weren’t the same phones as what I purchased 4 years ago. I was informed that Sony used to make them in Japan, and now they’re made in China. So in my opinion, DO NOT BUY THESE HEADPHONES.

    Find something better.
