Customers are dissatisfied with the cord length of the headphones. They mention that it's just short enough to be annoying, and the cable length is nowhere near for practical, serious DJing. Some say that the cited is too short if you are going to use them to actually DJ with. They also mention that the cans are too small and that they wish the ear cups covered their ears.

Small but sound good! (NOT for studio use)

Small but sound good! (NOT for studio use)
After 5yrs+ my Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones broke *sadface* which prompted a quick, research-less purchase of these "Sony DJ Style Headphones." My search criteria was "sony mdr dj headphones" and these looked pretty much exactly like my old cans, (albeit black/red, which, meh, that looks pretty dope, so...) super cheap price too - added to cart and voila!FIRST IMPRESSIONS:Darnit! I should have done research. The box they were delivered in seemed small, which made me nervous. And sure enough - they were smaller than expected. Felt cheaper in my hand, lightweight and flimsy. Did not have a 1/4" adapter that I've grown accustomed to with my various Sony studio headphones. And yes, smaller than my V700s (10mm smaller driver to be exact, not as thick either), the diameter of the headband is larger, but not as thick as the V700s.2ND IMPRESSIONS:They DO look pretty hot. And 1st play surprised the heck out of me. These sound goooood! Of course, I had low expectations and though they still don't have the crispness of the V700s, but much, much, much better than what I was expecting. My roommate from 3m away said he could hear the sound leak when I hit about 60% volume on my MacBook Pro (with the TV off, playing some top 40 through spotify (spotify volume at 100%)), which is honestly louder than I would have it playing in a normal situation (usually around 50%). Fairly comfortable, but with their smaller size, I find myself constantly repositioning them on my ears.FINAL THOUGHTS:I've only been using them for a couple hours so far, but my thoughts are: these are NOT a replacement for studio headphones, but work if you need something in a pinch that uses a standard mini-stereo headphone plug, or just need something to listen to music on your laptop, phone, etc. They actually would be great for that. But I will need something else to take into the edit suite which sounds cleaner and larger/more comfortable on my ears for a multi-hour session. They just feel so small.Taking these on a flight across the country tomorrow so we'll see how they travel and sound when I'm out and about. Will update soon.
