## 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: It's a Sony - I have not had time to fully bed these headphones in and check them out properly but my initial impression is that they are well made with a very good sound range - clear base and a clean high end; not mangled and drowned with artificial muddy base etc.. ( I have two other good headphones sets I use for reference - a pair of NAD 16's and some Denon portables - both very good for their uses). At the current lower price I seem to have got a bargain. Sony may have discontinued / superceeded them but since I'm not a 'fashion / poser' type user I don't have a problem with buying the previous model - as long as it is good, and especially if it's around half price :-) (having said that mine are black with a subtly understated thin red band round each ear cup and a nice matching red flat cable - I really don't think I could have worn the white ones :-)) .... but if the price was right who knows??? ) The headband / ear cup pressure seemed a little tight to begin with but after a few days usage they seem to have settled in well. Adjustment is via a click slide, notches numbered, metal band on each side and appears robust and secure. The earpads sit well (on my ears anyway) and at normal volume the sound leakage is not noticable. The outside world is still there but not obtrusive. The cable is flat with a right angled, gold plated, connector and, in real time usage, it is impressive - no bad tangles etc. and seems more robust than most modern lightweight twin cables I've seen. It is a fixed attachment to the left ear alone, not a separate plug in cable, with the right ear supplied via an internal cable running inside the headband. Promoted and advertised as DJ Headphones (and really used by many DJ's) you don't need to be a DJ to appreciate the versatility of swivel cups - nor the neat way the ear cups fold into the headband curve for transportation or storage. For me it's Sony at its' best - very good build quality and a very good (or better) sound performance. Definitely more value for your money - and it's a Sony!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good sound, but a few
*by A***A on 14 October 2012*

The sound is really good, the drivers in the speakers are definitely good quality - I've played a song full volume off my computer (so pretty loud, and despite getting a little deafened, the quality remained good. So for sound alone, yes these are awesome. However there are obviously more parts to the headphones, and I am not too confident about the build quality. Yes it's good and will take some generally wear and tear, but they do creak while moving you head/jaw which can be annoying. The plastic build is..yeah and the band over the top is soft and can be pushed in. The bare wire can also be seen going up around to each speaker unit on the inside bit of plastic that holds the speaker unit which allows it to swivel(though true when on your head they are hidden) but maybe if this was covered all the way it would just give it that bit more quality feel to it. The next problem is the sound, well no, the sound is awesome but the same can't be said for the noise cancellation. Yes these speakers don't have said feature, however walking along a busy road, in the car or on the train you do pick up on outside noise which means to get a good quality sound you have to turn up the volume pretty loud (3 bars off full on my xperia) which is pretty annoying (and I have quite good hearing, so obviously this isn't cos I'm half deaf! in quite environment I have it pretty low) I don't really have experience with over ear headphones so if this is a common issue with them then sorreh! I like the cable design, I had a pair of sony LiveSound headphones which also had this design meant for non-tangling of wires. But it also means that at both ends of the cable it attaches with another plastic overlap. I think this makes it a lot better for durability then your standard headphones and as everyone who has owned inear headphones knows, most of them break because of the joint at the 3.5mm jack. Of course sony could have solved this problem completely by making the cable detachable (like proper DJ headphones are!) not saying these aren't of course ;) but it would have been nice. Oh yeah and also properly worth mentioning, for those who care, but the headphones have the standard L and R to show which way to stick your headphones on obviously. But on my set, the R logo is painted red, but this isn't the same on the left side, where the L is just black. You are properly thinking, man this guy is sad to even mention something so trivial. However for some this may annoy, and definitely doesn't scream high quality manufacturer at you (and would be something expected of a fake pair of headphones, not sony ones) I hope these aren't fake actually, I really doubt it, but this imperfection does suggest that. So yeah for £50/£60 these are, well okay I guess considering rival headphones are far more dear, the driver units are definitely the expensive part of these, but I would have liked the quality of the rest of the headphones to be, just more sturdy I guess. Also coming from inear headphones which block out all noise, now having these which let a lot of noise in, is such a shame, because listening in a quiet environment the sound is awesome. So yeah they are really good otherwise for the price are pretty decent value for money. So get them, if you want a cheap pair of cans, just take into account the downsides to the product
