Applications:
The Sony MDR-V500DJ have garnered a reputation as one of the best on-ear studio and DJ headphone values in the industry. Nicely slim-profile in overall size, their musical presentation offers big bass and spacious detail without overt loss of tonal clarity in the mids/highs given the good price. The overall sound is appropriately large for the category and well-extended into the bottom-end with slightly forwardly-pitched upper highs. Its a great tone for either monitoring your turntables cues, re-mixing beats on the MPC sampler, or rocking your computer laptop set-up. Great match for iPod or iPad too, especially if adding the clean added power of a portable headphone amp to the sonic equation. The MDR-V500DJ stylish dark looks feel at home in the clubs, around school, or hitting the streets and they'll easily fold into backpack or carry-on. It's a pretty unbeatable combination of closed-back 'on-ear' headphone traits that make these cans one of the most popular designs in the entire DJ/studio category.
The Sony MDR-V500DJ are compact circumaural cans offering very handy ergonomics like full collapsibility and earcup swiveling for DJ-style single-sided one-ear monitoring. Their low-key all-black matte looks is colored by a blue "L" and red "R" indicating channel. A durable headband construction easily adjusts for size and prominently displays the Sony logo in grey. The durably built V500DJ's coiled OFC litz headphone cable extends about 10ft and terminates to a gold-plated 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-plug with a 'screw-on' 1/4" 'Unimatch' adaptor included by Sony.
