Not disappointed at all..
I had the Sony MR V700DJ for almost 2.5 years and before that I had the MDR V250V, again, for 2.5 years.I bought these because of:1. Low Impedance. Even the smallest mp3 player can drive these without any problems.2. Great frequency response3. Around-the-ear/Circum-aural comfort4. Great experience with previous Sony headphones.Pros:1. Blocks outside noise pretty effectively.2. Sounds as good as the V700DJ which are at $50 more expensive on the List price.3. Amazing circum-aural comfort. I can't imagine going back to the V700. I can see an entire movie without realizing they are on.4. The texture type cord is super light and manageable.5. Instead of having one long cord they finally had the sense to split it up and provide an extension instead.Cons:1. HUGE! Didnt expect them to be so big. They dwarf the V700s.2. Feels flimsy/cheap. The cushions are very cheap compared to the superior leatherette of the V700s. In fact its the same material as the MDR-V250's.Final Note: These are NOT the fold-and-carry type of headphones. In fact they dont come with a case supplied.In summary, I am pretty satisfied with these headphones. I would have given these a 4.5 star rating if that was possible.

I brought mine for $68.63.

The sound quality it amazing. it does 5-30,000 Hz (thats more than the human ear can even pick up)

Unlike many other headphones, these do not exaggerate certain frequencies so everything sounds completely natural. even with this, it is still able to make you feel the bass throughout the entire upper area of your body at almost any volume level (these headphones are made to accurately play the frequencies of the music. this makes them great for people who mix their own music and do podcasts)

I use these headphones for Gaming, sound editing/mixing, listening to rap rock jazz world and just about every other kind of music (if the song sounds good i will listen to it) these headphones have no problem playing any of these kinds of music.

pared with a good sound card, and music in FLAC or raw format, you will get more detail than your used to hearing in music. (if you listen close enough you can hear tiny changes in a singers voice that you would almost never hear using mp3 and cheap headphones.

These headphones can also get extremely loud with out distorting.

there also very large but there really light and built quality.
(the large size gives you a better feel for the music, many songs are almost completely surround sound)

Pros:
extremely good sound quality

you can feel the bass through your body at any volume level

5-30,000 Hz response range

very large size for better sound (you will forget you have them on)

sounds much better than the bose headphones that i tested out at bestbuy (not sure if it was the song or the player but the bose at bestbuy sounded hollow and flat)

Has really quality wires (they will last a very long time)

Cons:
due to the quality speakers, there louder than cheaper headphones
so if you added volume presets for different songs on your pocket pc, you will need to adjust them

I've had these for about 1 year now. I must say that they are quite durable. But then again I'm not very hard on my stuff so thats probably a factor. I use them to mainly to watch movies. As for the sound quality, that depends on what you plug them into. If you plug them straigt to the tv, then the sound will be like most other headphones. You won't get the bass that you might be looking for. To really have the headphones function well would be to plug them into a audio reciever. The reciever decodes the digital sound which translates to a better sound on the headphones. You get more and better bass. But it's still not to stellar. I live in an apartment so i can't play my surround sound at 1 AM. Well, actually i could, but it may not be in my best interest. =P You don't get a surround sound effect. But since they're right on your ears, you hear more that you would than if you played them through your speakers at a normal volume. The different modes are not to different. Unless you intently look for differences, you won't be able to tell the difference. From what i noticed, movie mode give the bass a little less clarity, it mushes it in a way. That's about it.

If your looking for surround sound quality headphones, then i'd have to recommend the Triton AX Pro 5.1 surround sound headset. This comes with a sound decoder so you don't need to go buy a reciever if you don't have one. The bass on these headphones is far superior. It's not sound system dazzling, but for headphones, it's quite impressive.

Comfortwise, well, I keep my hair short. Like near bald short. So the rubber strap at the top gets irritating after a while. Not to metion it leaves a mark akin to bedsheet marks you'd get. With longer hair it might be different. But for the most part, they're not to obtrusive and can be tolerated. Also, I found them more comfortable if you angle them back a litte. But if your chair has a headrest, that position wont work because the headrest will just push them forward on your head.
So overall, if you plan to use them to watch movies, a more normal styled and cheaper headset should suffice. Otherwise save your money for the trittons. The trittons has it's own flaws, but the sound quality is far superior to these sonys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spitzenqualität
Reviewed in Germany on August 3, 2006
Der Sony MDR-XD 400 ist ein Spitzenprodukt mit einem super Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Die Töne kommen sauber und im Vergleich mit HiFi Lautsprechern originalgetreu rüber. Trotz der guten Soundqualtität in den Tiefen, aber auch in den Höhen und den mittleren Bereichen hat der Kopfhörer genügend Leistungsreserven um auch mal eine etwas härtere Gangart was die Lautstärke betrifft einzuschlagen, ohne das störendes brummen oder klirren auftritt.

Fazit: Ein HiFi Kopfhörer, der in dem Preissegment seines gleichen sucht.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly excelent headphones
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 23, 2005
I enjoy music a lot but since the kids came along I've rarely been able to play music past their bedtime. This has started me down the route of headphones and portable music. I have a small collection of cans at the moment, including three pairs of sonys, four seinheisers, bose triports and koss porta-pros.
Having enjoyed the power of my sony MDRV700's and looking for something more hifi orientated, I became interested in this latest offering from Sony.
I've come round to a way of thinking that more impressive sound is generated from large drivers (e.g. the 50mm units in the MDRV700) than smaller units in a clever housing (e.g. Bose Triports). The XD400's have large 50mm drivers - hence my interest in them.
I bought these headphones on the basis of reviews I'd read on the forums at head-fi.org and I was interested to see just how good they really were.
They are very good! very, very good!
Specifically, the detail is fantastic, the bass is low and controlled, they sound balanced and even at even moderate volumes and they are so easy to drive. I've been listening to them at home (they are too weird looking to wear outside) and found them to also be well made, lightweight and comfortable (the cord is material covered which is a nice touch).
I read comparisons of these to the MDRXD200's which people have also given rave reviews to. My comment is that I thought the XD200's were good, until I heard the XD400's. The difference is night and day! That said, the XD200's are a good can for their price and would also recommend tham at that price level, but if you have the money, the XD400's are worth every penny.

Nach schlechten Erfahrungen mit Billig-Kopfhörern bin ich endlich zufrieden: toller Klang auch bei hoher Lautstärke, sehr gute Passform, die auch nach langem Hören nicht stört und ein beiliegendes Verlängerungskabel.

Was will man mehr?

3.0 out of 5 stars Bass ok, Höhen oje ...
Reviewed in Germany on November 12, 2006
Der MDR-XD 400 sollte eigentlich der Ersatz für meinen nach 10 Jahre nun doch langsam auseinanderfallenden MDR-CD 470 (seinerzeit 140 DM) werden. Aber egal, wie ich den XD 400 auch eingestellt habe - die Höhenwiedergabe war unbefriedigend. Was der XD 400 an Bass gegenüber dem CD 470 mehr leistet (und der wahr schon reichlich satt), das fehlt ihm einfach im oberen Frequenzbereich. "Playing the Angel" von Depeche Mode als Test im direkten Nebeneinandervergleich kam im XD 400 als Brei aus viel Bass und Mitten an; die vom CD 470 klaglos reproduzierten gewollt klirrenden Höhen waren im XD schlicht nicht vorhanden.

Dazu kommt noch, dass meine durchschnittlichen europäischen Ohren schon fast zu groß sind für die Ohrpolster des XD 400 (zumal mit Ohrringen), aber das ist nur ein subjektiver zusätzlicher Rückgabegrund.
Fazit: Wer es hauptsächlich basslastig mag, der wird den MDR-XD 400 sicherlich mögen. Wer zusätzlich auch noch anständige Höhen möchte, ist mit diesem Gerät aber eher falsch beraten.
