Sony X-Bass MDR-XB700 Headphones

Pros:
-Unreal bass
-Great value
-Comfortable
-Sturdy and well built
-Wire is "tangle proof" as it is flat instead of round.
-Nice faux-leather case to put headphones in
-Keeps ears warm, so decent for winter months
-Not a great deal of sound escapes, meaning if Britney is on the iPod all of the train/street/class won't necessarily hear every word

Cons:
-Price! (Contradiction I know, but some people aren't willing to pay so much)
-Headphone jack, it's not flat it is at a right angle (eg. ¬ like that instead of like | ) a minor gripe but cant be annoying
-You look like Princess Leia when wearing them, not a big deal but some people may be put off by this alone
-Size - they are much bigger than most headphones, this could be a good thing for those with larger heads though.

Summary:
Let me start by saying I bought these basically as a cheap alternative to the Monster Beats by Dre, as I felt I didn't really "need" a £300 pair of headphones no matter how good they were.
So opted for these bad boys, heard good things and I can see why, the quality is what you'd expect of Sony and are well worth the price asked.
Not 5* due to the fact that there are better headphones out there, but for the price you probably won't get a better pair of over the ear headphones.

Light weight comfortable and amazing sound quality!

I couldnt be more impressed with what seems to be 2 floor standing speakers hidden in a pair of headphones. I have never had a pair of headphones that could reach the depth of bass as these.

So so happy!

These headphones are awsome, if your on the hunt for a pair or DEEP BASS cans, look no further, at this price point, you'd have to spend alot more to hear rich deep controlled bass, if your a lover of R & B ( me ) or drum 'n' bass, Tecno, you'll love these...

these headphones drop, the bass wont dissapoint especially if you have an eq, no joke that if u abuse these for a long time it will damage ur hearing, i kranked the volume up and after 2 minutes i had to turn them down. there like two small speakers clamped to your ears, the lows make your whole ear vibrate.

there comfy too, i have worn them all day no problem, they dont clamp your ears to your head like most.

the cord is rubbish though, flat cable and tiny right angle jack.

all in all wicked pair of headphones.

Bought these to replace my broken v700DJ's and have as an interim been using the EX500's sony closed cup in ear buds (btw, these are great pair of buds if you like bass too, in fact, these rock!) XB700 has the same size 50mm Neo drivers as V's but and it's a big but .... these cans are **not** closed. They have three open vent slots in the rear - you can't see them in the pic, they are hidden by the band .... but crank up the choons and everyone hears more or less what you hear (without the bass!), unbelievably, even the Sony closed buds leak less sound!. Personally, slightly more comfortable than the V's, but on a personal note, in my opinion, while the XB700's look the part and are a great style statement, the V700DJ's have the same booming bass, better delivery across other ranges as well, are properly closed cup, they fold up smaller, you can use em on yer decks, your pod or you home system, and now being the same price as these - I'd take the V's every time ..... so while these are a reasonable pair of cans, I'm sending these back and getting a new pair of V's.....
