I'd like to experiment with taking the drivers from a Sony MDR-V 4 or V5 into the MDR-84 housing. Does anyone own one of these? Are the drivers 30mm?

I didn't even know those models existed

Old thread, I know, but anyone know the specs/ history on the v5? I recently scored a free pair

Hello... Surely somebody must have already posted pictures on HF, but here are mines :

The second(or might be the third?)one I had the chance to buy new old stock, the Mdr-v5 are sharing same headband conception than the V-7 that are so magical sounding cans. Except for the earpads falling appart, all is fine on these...

They do have 30mm drivers with powerfull magnets. A picture of the specs sheet:

The carton sleeve is actually silver and slides at the back of the plastic blister of the original Sony packaging.
My first real headphones were the Mdr-v1 that my parents gave me after my "walkman" mdr-006 broke.
I also recently found a NOS version of these, bought for around 15 bucks from the same seller of the V-5, here in France.
Enjoy everyone... Thanks for reading.

P.S. :
Mdr-V4 is foldable and with a spiral not a straight cord as the V-5.
The wire does not route into the hanger arms of the cups.
But I am pretty sure they do have the same specs regarding drivers and thus share the same SS.

Very cool find on the v1's, I'd almost feel bad opening and using them haha
