I have a pair of seinhesser HD25`s but i was browsing ebay for DJ equipment and saw the Sony`s starting at such a low bid (£24.50) anyway long story short i got them for that amount and im pleasently suprised and at £24 gotta be worth having a spare set of cans

I remember when everyone used to slate the MDR V700's - that seems to have stopped these days.

I've always had MDR-V700's and i'd never change to anything else.

I agree, when i bought my setup i went for the industry standard HD25`s but im finding these very good and have been using them alot since i bought them! :thumbsup:

why were peeps slating them? i had Senns before they broke. They lasted me a good few years. I went for something different and quite like them.

People said they broke easily. I had mine for a good 6 years without any problems until the left speaker blew - but to be fair, I did have them constantly loud.

I bought the same again two years ago, and they're still going strong.

Things only break if they're looked after poorly. I look after my equipment, so therefore it lasts. If people throw their headphones in their bags, and then slam their bags down, then its obvious they're going to crack

They aren't the dodgy fake jap versions are they?

MDR z700 or something?

[Neuro]

What's this Bjorny, is that true? I'm still going to buy some anyway I think. If they fall to bits then I'll let you all know

[Bjorn]

yeh i've seen em b4 and my mate saw em - look EXACTLY like the V700's but they are actaully the Z700 i think. I'll check with my mate & let u know..

Just looked closly at my ebay account and its says Sony MDR V700 / Z700. To be fair they are pretty damn good, although the HD25`s are better, i bought these because i have my laptop in my front room and my mrs after gets the hump when im checking out tracks / mixes during such important programs like eastender , The OC etc etc.

But i have been stung......

Sorry to hear that mate. What are the differences between the V700 and the Z700 anyway?

[Justin Haze]

I couldnt really tell ya, for £25 quid they are worth it, the sound quality is good and like i say i got them for use on my laptop, just gutted about the whole thing, id like to think im more street wise than that!

When i were a wee nipper, my dad used to always say to me "if it's too good to be true, then it usually is"...bugger. He's always right!
