Good sound, mostly sturdy construction ; The adapter for small headphone and large headphone jacks is nice ; The swivel functionality is nice though not that useful for me (designed for DJs, it would seem), but means I can fold it up reasonably well to...

The round ear cups are uncomfortable on me after a while ; I'm told the swivel points can snap after a few months of use, but haven't seen this yet

to b e honest there arent really any bad points if i was to have one then it may well be the cable i can be a bit heavy but with the standard of the quality is nothing compared to a little niggle about a cable

Sony MDR-V500

By Jammer (onheadphones.com)

Award: Staff Recommended

DJ Headphones with plenty of flexibility

The earcups are mounted on three joints, so the headphones can swivel all over and remain comfortable on your head. They're very light for full-enclosure phones and they're comfortable. The headband also has a wide adjust range for DJs with huge heads

These phones are not particularly loud, which is fine for a quiet room, but may be a different story at the club, once you push the faders and cue the drunk people. They also lack depth on the lower end of the frequency spectrum

For under $80, these will get the job done. They make a great backup set for traveling DJs, soundmen or engineers. They are also very versatile for studio applications.

Great Headphones for 35.

Overall good comfortable headphones, give clear audio and block out external noise. However the bass isnt that loud & cable can be annoying long if us

Great sound, Price... but be warned of weak hinges & design

Admittedly, i've had these for over two years now, but they have been glued a few times, and now held together with wire... I know they are well price

Pretty Great headphones

When I got these headphones, I assumed that they would be a lot bigger than they are but the size is perfect for me. Very adjustable for what ever you

Great headphones at a great price!
