  ericthegreat's review "great for dj's"

  

  The Sony MDR-XD100's are a set of solid studio headphones, perfect for when you need a few extra pairs around your studio but don't feel the need to spend too much money on them. This is pretty much the cheapest set of Sony headphones you'll find, and honestly they aren't all that bad. Of course they feel extremely cheap and aren't the most comfortable headphones, but the sound quality isn't half bad. I don't know much about the technical aspects of these headphones like materials used or frequency response, but that information should be readily available from Sony if you need it. I don't own a pair of these headphones, but a producer that I work with has a pair of these at his home studio as an extra set to have around. Since we're working in a smaller environment, sometimes it's necessary to monitor with headphones, so I was listening with these during a few takes on a recent session. Again, they aren't going to be very comfortable, although I wouldn't say that they're notoriously uncomfortable, they just don't stay put very well upon your head and the adjustable band on top is pretty cheap feeling. While the sound isn't great, it's definitely adequate for monitoring during playback or recording. As always, I wouldn't recommending mixing on headphones, and definitely, definitely no not mix with these! They're fine for DJ use as well, but don't rely too much on them to give you the most accurate sonic depiction. Overall, the best part of the Sony MDR-XD100 is definitely the price as they're some of the cheapest studio style headphones that you're going to find and in the end they do have the Sony stamp on them. Don't get your hopes too high for them, but check them out if you want some decent dirt cheap studio phones for sure.

  moosers's review

  

  The Sony MDR-V700DJ's are a set of headphones that are designed and marketed as headphones for DJ's, but they're definitely suitable for a variety of purposes. I've used the MDR-V700DJ's for checking and monitoring tracks during tracking and mixing. We've got a pair of these at the studio where I'm working, and while they aren't regarded as the best headphones around those parts, they're definitely fine for monitoring during recording and for listening back on. They're pretty comfortable headphones, and you can definitely tell that they're designed so that you can easily remove one ear if you want to, as they're flexible in this way. I've certainly worn more comfortable headphones, but these do just fine for sparse use. The overall sound of the Sony MDR-V700DJ is realistic for a set of headphones for sure, but doesn't boast a crazy amount of low end as you'd imagine that a set of DJ headphones should. They're not going to be okay to mix on or anything like that, but then again I probably wouldn't recommend mixing on too many different pairs of headphones. I'd say that they're fine for A/Bing mixes, but there are definitely better suited headphones out there for this application as well. I don't know if these would be my first choice for general recording studio headphones, as Sony themselves has better suited headphones within the same price range, but I also can't say that I'd argue with anyone who liked these better for this purpose either. It's really all about taste and individual comfort with headphones like these, as these in particular are definitely more than adequate for all studio applications other than mixing. If you unsure about a set of headphones to go with, I'd encourage you to check out a few of the other Sony products out there in the MDR line of headphones, as there are headphones out there for all purposes and to fit all budgets...

  I lutilise 5 years and always perfectly, very well balanced sound quality too low just what it takes. Purchased your headphone store and not ebay or CEST on fake before saying that he broke after 2 weeks thank you.

  DJ-OBIWAN's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Do not spend your money on this crap!"

  

  How long have you use it?
  
  
  
  I used it for a few months before it breaks ... I even bought a second to insist but it also broke ...
  
  
  
  Have you tried many other models before buying it?
  
  
  
  A packet yes, Sony, Pioneer, Technics, Shure, Marshall ...
  
  
  
  What is so special that you love the most, least?
  
  
  
  The best: it is beautiful, the sound is correct and powerful, it folds and fits in a pocket provided ...
  
  
  
  The least: it pat crumb intensive type mix ... The leather bar, the son Electric are breaking the plastic headband splits and finally yielded, it is uncomfortable when you keep it too long. And unlike the famous competition, or rather should I say non-compete can not be repaired, there is absolutely no room SAV that we can buy from Sony or elsewhere ...
  
  
  
  How would you rate the quality / price?
  
  
  
  It's a scam a few months since, you just have to throw in the trash ...
  
  
  
  With experience, you do again this choice?
  
  
  
  No but it will not, my Sennheiser HD25-1 II has not moved for 5 years, you can buy spare parts, it does not move despite the abuse generated by mix my sessions! Point bar.

  ganesha's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " VERY GOOD headphone PRO"

  

  I use it in a club since 2005 and as many say that the sound is always good, (I had before me a sennheiser HD25 lach at the FIRST TIME a cable and a headset at a second time.)
  
  What I like most about this headset is the dynamics and noise in a noisy environment, the cable is top of Resistors. The only regret is that over the years the leather ear parte crumb, and the arch loses its Resistors.
  
  Exprience with this choice I would do with his eyes closed!

  olivaldo's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Very good headphones."

  

  For how long have you been using it?
  
  I use it for only two months. I repost an opinion later to confirm or not my first impressions.
  
  
  
  Did you try many other models before getting this one?
  
  I tried a JBSystems HP 2000 Pro and a Numark (who have nothing to do with sony!) And DJ Shure SRH-750 (equivalent to Sony)
  
  
  
  What thing do you like most/least about it?
  
  What I like most about this headset is the first design (it has the mouth while remaining sober), a beautiful finish, it looks solid (but what it really is in time ???), the earbuds are very comfortable. But the big positive (and fortunately saw the price!) Is the sound quality of the beast. The sound is clear, the bass is very present, it is perfect for mixing. The clip is just strong enough not to fall or the headphone too much to compress the skull, it is hardly felt. I find it rather light.
  
  The downside is that the atria are shallow (unlike the Shure HRS 750). Suddenly, the ears are compressed and it gets a little painful after a while. The second negative point is not just the headphone, the headphone opening the box, I discovered a ridiculous carrying pouch They reportedly could make a small effort considering the price!)
  
  
  
  What is your opinion about the value for the price?
  
  The ratio Q / P is excellent (ordered from thomann for - of 100euros) and quality is to go.
  
  
  
  Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
  
  I do not have that headphone for a long time and yet I'm already conquered. Go ahead buy it !!!!!!

  Zemou's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Good hardware!"

  

  I have this headphone now for a good month.
  
  
  
  Before buying it I read reviews on internet normment for headphones knowing that I had a budget of 100 euros.
  
  I could also try the headphones of friends. But they all have the "sub-brand" and I n'tais never satisfied.
  
  Finally I started a little blindly for a headphone that I had never tried. He l.
  
  
  
  Very satisfied with my purchase, a good record for the mix (low and presents well AIGE also). It is extremely powerful and very well isolated even in very noisy night I never had to put very strong. And use maximum power would redeem himself eardrums.
  
  I used to has more generally listen to my music also. It is in use on this final we can blame the mids down but hey, it is not for the base. And has remained satisfactory.
  
  APRS twisted wire is a joy and also the adapter screw. We note the presence of even a small carrying case (very basic, but filled out its functions).
  
  
  
  What I like least, it shook me a bit (but I have a big head) without being unbearable and not blow me a little sore ear cartilage.
  
  Note also that it is quite heavy but I do feel that after 2 or 3 hours a strain on the neck.
  
  
  
  The report is very good qualitprix my eyes and I will take this headphone without hesitating.
  
  
  
  It remains to see what he will in time but it seems robust enough.
