## Description

Sony MDR-V55 DJ Stereo Headphones - Black: desertcart.co.uk: Musical Instruments & DJ

Review: Great headphones for the money... you'd do well to buy the MDR-V55. - Bought these to replace my much loved MDR V700's, which must have been about 12 years old and still going strong - until some complete muppet snapped them at a gig. And now the MDR 700's are discontinued, I was very disappointed I couldn't replace them like for like However, the MDR-V55's are great for the price. Good sound reproduction, good volume where you need it. Does a reasonable job of cutting out background noise in the way the pads cover your ears, making perfecting that mix a good bit easier. In my view they are a little bit bass heavy, but that's probably because I prefer sub bass that speakers reproduce so much better than headphones can. Obviously they're intended for DJ use which explains the extra rumble in the 100hz range when it should be down around 60hz, so perhaps explains why Sony tuned them that way. When comparing channels in the cue mix you can get a relatively accurate match between channel 1 and channel 2 when tweaking with the treble, mix and bass on your mixer. When you hear what's coming out front of the sound system it doesn't need playing around with much. I would recommend these headphones over Beats, Skull Candy or whatever brand of the day is most popular - every time. Firstly because they sound WAY better. Secondly, you're not just paying for a brand to help some rapper/phone tycoon make extra pocket money. You'd have to pay around 5/6 times in consumer fashion brand headphone fees than you would to find the same quality of sound/build in the Sony MDR-V55. I was a little dubious about the flat cable, but having said that... the old MDR-V700 headphones with their telephone coil type cable used to get horribly knotted and twisted. I still don't think these flat cables will last long - I say that because it looks like the same cheap flat cables you get with coloured unofficial iPhone lightning cables that last only a few weeks if you're lucky. One year in and we're still doing great so far, but time will tell. All it takes is to walk away from the mixer while forgetting you're still wearing the headphones to break the cable inside. Or worse still the cable gets pinched in a flight case when you attempt to lock it. The MDR-V55 is reasonably well built and they're quite comfortable for extended periods. They also do a great job of keeping your ears warm! If you wear them back to front (R on L, L on R), then you can fold them in such a way they sit around your neck with the pads on your collar bones when you're not using them. They don't fold quite as well as the old MDR-V700's and they don't come with a protective bag either. I can't see these lasting 12 years, but for the price I'd be pleased if they last another 3 or 4.
Review: SONY MDR-V55 headphones review - These headphones produce outstanding sound quality, i use them on a daily basis at home, on the bus and at school and they are great for producing crisp and powerful sound which i have found out first hand, these produce better sound quality than the beats solos as well as matching the beat pro's which seem to be on the top of the market to the masses. These headphones looks very nice upon your head, nothing too large and bulky or too thin and flimsy looking, perfect size, shape and design. I love the retro looking, bold SONY logo that stretches across the headband, it makes me proud to wear a product of SONY'S because of their amazing quality, technical goods and the logo sure is something to show off. The headband is made of a rubbery/plastic material whc=ich seems to be very durable and still maintaining a high level of comfort on your head. There are a few downsides i have found out about these headphones while using them, that is the sound leakage. i love to have my music very loud, i feel the sound quality gets better the louder it is and that it helps block out more sounds around you. when turned up over 3/4 of the volume bar on my iPod, the music can be easily distinguished by someone sitting next to you. The short cable is a small problem, i'm not a DJ or anything so i don't want a long cable curling up on the floor next to me or filling up my pockets but at times, a long cable does help. One more small issue i have found out is after long use (maybe around 4-5 hours) of using these headphones, they begin to hurt your ears. now i don't know if that's because of the tension of the headband or because of the circular cups, but it is something that happens over time. For this price i would most definitely recommend them, they are a superb piece of equipment and do exactly what they are suppose to do to a very high degree. well worth the money so i'd suggest you go buy them now because they're something i cant live without!! hope i helped :)
