I have the Sony MDR v700 which be value at 154.95 at BestBuy ! I see it and try it out because they have one out on display , and of course , it sound great when you do not have anything to compare it to . so I be set on buy it for it be look , sound , and the overpriced brand name of Sony . I manage to buy it use from someone . the condition look very good , and sound great . so I think I be all set . the guy I buy the Sony v700 even suggest I look into Sennheiser if great sound be what I be after . I want to because of all they great review , but there be not any place around that offer display of Sennheiser so that you can test the product out . anyway , my brother find a sennheiser hd201 so finally I could test out what all this talk be about . mind you the hd201 be at least 3 time less than the Sony v700 . I be pretty shock . the Sony could not filter out the buzz that I normally get when connect to my crappy speaker . the sennheiser do . it filter it out , have better sound quality and better lightweight feel . you can actually hear each musical note , rather than have it drown out by the bass which be what the Sony do . do not believe the brand name hype of Sony because it be not that great -- if you compare it to Sennheiser ! Sony 's higher-end DJ headphone can not even compare with the lower end of sennheiser ! it be clear to I . good luck !
