Decent Entry level DJ headphones
Date of Review: Jun 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you are going to use them for short periods of time they are pretty good. Otherwise you might want to find something else.
I got these headphones because I wanted a studio style headphone without spending a bundle.
The Pros to these:
Long Cord. Which is a good idea for computers you won't feel like a dog on a short chain afraid to move your head.
Reversible ear cup. I don't feel comfortable making it go completely flat but who needs it too?
Good Sony sound quality.
Allows for small heads. I have troubles with headphones because they either float next to my ear and barely touch or they don't go small enough so they keep sliding down because they are too long.
Durable. The thicker cord helps a lot I have had these 2-3 years and no broken wires which is always a problem I have had in the past because of traveling. The sliding piece feels good and strong. As does the joints for the cups.
THE CONS:
COMFORT! They are not comfortable with glasses for very long. After about 30-45 min I have to take off my glasses or resituate them above the phones. Also they sit on the top of the head and it bothers my scalp. I have to alternate the positioning when listening to for long periods. If you wear glasses and have trouble with them with larger cup headphones it would be a very good idea to go somewhere where you can try them on before you buy them.
Long cord. The long cord can be a little disadvantage if using a portable CD player with a remote and are moving around.
If I had to buy headphones again and was going to get Sony I would try another series first that might be more comfortable for long periods of time.
But if comfort hasn't been a problem for you in similar headphones before or you don't wear headphones for long periods of time buy these Sony Phones. I was pleased with these I just wish they were more comfortable.
