5.0 out of 5 stars Clarity, quality, unfettered listening = a winner!, December 28, 2000

I love these headphones. I don't mean to get rapshodic over these headphones but they are truly outstanding. They are not quite the top of the line, Sony also carries the MDRC3000, which offers floating earcups made of organic fibers.

However, you will not be disappointed by the quality of these headphones. You will be richly rewarded by clear, sharp, deep bass, and clear unfettered highs. Classical, rock, jazz, hip hop are all handled with grace with these headphones.

Make no mistake, these are high end headphones that are a big decision for any buyer. Being a active musician, I use these day in and day out at my home studio, and I truly love this product.

Positives: Deep rich bass Clear and crisp highs Soothing unfettered sound Minimal ear fatigue over long periods of use Quality construction

Negatives: Price could be an issue for some

i already have three pairs of "quality" sony headphones, and was ready to go to the next level.

they are far more comfy than the MDR-V600 for extended listening once one gets accustomed to the "self-adjusting" head band.

this is going to seem crazy, but i can hear my hair brushing against the cloth covered ear pad and that is distracting. i'm usually rocking in my chair whilst listening so that, not doubt, adds to the slight movement of the headphones. once stabilized the noise subsides.

overall i like them. are they twice as good (should be they cost more than twice the price!) as my two pairs of MDR-V600 headphones? not really. i love the detachable cord. it actually plugs into the headset, quite securely i might add. i also adore the fact that the cord is not coiled. i abhor those pesky coils. they are more comfy and the industrial design is nicer. when putting one's head against a high back chair it takes some getting used to as the massive ear pieces move forward a bit as you place your head against the headrest.

thats' all i have to say for now.

It is absolutely essential to have a good pair of digital headphones to plug into today's superior sounding digital sound cards on computers (such as the Soundblaster Live family of cards). Plug these directly into the digital out on computers, and you'll never use anolog headphones again. These sound beautiful and are extremely comfortable for long periods of time; the depth attributes and the bass quality are incredible. Sound great with DVD's and games too.

Are also compatible with old analog output jacks. I've seen them for as low as 220$ on the Internet.
