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.

Rating : - Seems Improved over older MDR-V700DJ
I had severe misgivings about purchasing Sony earphones again after my original (just under 3years old) MDR-V700J stopped producing audio in one ear. After taking the headphones apart, and doing some testing, I discovered the issue was with the audio cable in the headband portion.

So after weighing my options, I went with this model again, they seemed to have addressed the issue of size of the ear cup, as this newer version doesn't compress my ears. The coil on the cord is a little tighter; hopefully this will eliminate some tangle.

Finally what I'm going to do on my end to hopefully prolong the life of my headphone, I won't fold up the headphones every time after use and put them back in the included bag. I'm guessing the audio cable inside the headband portion frayed from wear over time.

As far as audio quality and aesthetics, these head phones are awesome. I use them mostly for music and some FPS gaming. The price / performance ratio was enough to get me to try these again, and hopefully Sony has addressed the durability issue.
