I bought them because they were the only good ones available where I live for $100 CDN. If cost doesn't matter, are they good

I personally haven't heard them, but based on other headfier's experience, all of those VxxxDJ headphones are plain awful, run a search and see what comes up, i do recall headfier 'Gluegun' writing quite a bit about the DJ line.

Well this is my second day with them and I like them. The problem is, I don't have anything else to compare them with so, this is the best i've ever heard. All of my friends have the MDR-V300's, so I thought i'd impress them with V500DJ's ! hehe. Well I personnally think all of you "spoil" your ears. V500's aren't good enough??? come on!

My friends have various dj models and I thought they sounded fine until I bought a v6. When I listen to it now it sounds like those cheap bundled headphones drivers that comes with various sony walkmans encased in a bigger can. I'm really stupid and clueless when it comes to headphones but even I can tell that they are utter crap that sony charges too much for. Read these forums and you will see the light.

we're not spoiling our ears. Frickin' $20 sportapros are much better than v500djs. It's all about what's good and what's not, not necessarily what's expensive.

Yesterday I was coming home from a downtown shopping trip (in which I bought a new $40 CPU cooling fan/heatsink for my Athlon XP 1600+ processor), and I saw a guy on the bus wearing those notorious Sony MDR-V500DJ headphones! I thought "What the @#$% is he listening to on those freakin' headphones?" (I was using my Koss KSC-35's at that time, listening to vintage '30s big-band jazz - but I should have brought my Sennheiser HD 280 PRO's, since the KSC-35's don't block out enough external noises to be worth using on the bus.)
