2 comments about Wireless Infrared Headphone System.

1. I am satisfied with the performance of these headphones, but the enclosed installation instructions of the infrared sensor are not detailed enough and need improvement.
   
   I had trouble getting good reception from my DVD system until I learned from a local installation shop that the infrared sensor should be mounted at the same level or above the headphones in the vehicle.



2. The product arrived as advertised, works well with my previous transmitter so I didn't even have to go to the trouble of installing a new transmitter. The spring load on the earpieces is a bit strong, but I've got a big head. Oh, well. Overall, very happy with the product and service.

5 comments about Sony MDR-SA1000 DJ Stereo Headphones.

1. As a club and mobile DJ for 20 years I have used several brands of pro-DJ headphones. After trying some other names I decided to go back to Sony. Typically Sony headphones made for pro DJs have the letters "DJ" in the name, so when I found these on Amazon I assumed the name of the headphones were "Sony MDR-SA1000 DJ." WRONG! Nowhere on the packaging, headphones, or the literature does Sony call these "DJ" headphones.... and that is because they are NOT DJ headphones! Contrary to the Amazon review, these were NOT made with DJs in mind. Sony engineers know that thin plastic connections and delicate exposed wires like the ones on these would not last a month in the typical jock's gear bag. Sony knows that DJ headphone cups should rotate to allow for resting on the shoulder during a live mix. Sony knows DJs don't need a "lightweight frame structure" and they also know that a straight cord means a DJ in a tight booth is probably more likely to trip on it then worry about it damaging records or "fine equipment!" (What DJ gets his/her headphone cords near their vinyl in the first place??)
   
   I strongly feel that Amazon should remove the misleading and misinformed DJ references from this review. At the very least they should remove the "DJ" from the product name because it is NOT part of the product name.
   
   I am sending these back without listening to them. Non-DJs should read other reviews for information on performance and sound quality. DJs should move on and look at other headphones... and make sure you double check that those headphones truly are for DJs!



2. Yes I agree these should not be labeled "DJ" headphones. I think that that is misleading. At the same time I do not believe that giving these 1* just because of durability in a "DJ" environment helps others. Those of you who have bought these primarily on that basis are poor consumers. Do your research FIRST. Also evaluations by those with tinker toy audio setups does not help. These are very fine headphones for the price / performance and when driven by a decent source produce very accurate sound reproduction. As for the lack in the low end range this is somewhat true, but it is very tight and accurate (I think allot of people do not know what a real low end should sound like, they are accustomed the boomy / sloppy low end produced by cheap equipment). So here is my recommendation:
   1) If you have decent audio equipment (a quality dedicated headphone amplifier and good source) these perform very well.
   2) These are an "Open Air" design. This design is used to increse the quality of the sound, but also allows exerior sounds in and some sound produced by the unit out. If this is important to you do not buy these, get a "closed / sealed" design.
   3) These are for home use. Do not buy them for travel or DJ use.
   4) Replace the original cable with a high end cable (makes these sound much better)
   5) The price / performance ratio these are hard to beat.
   6) Everyone has there own tastes preview / research before you buy!
   7) If you have low end equipment buy to match what you have. These are fairly efficient at 70ohms, but if you are using an IPOD get 32 Ohm headphones or buy a headphone amplifier.
   Hope this was helpful....



3. These are not designed for one-ear use. They do not have the letters DJ in the name, however Sony does list them in their web-site as DJ headphones. There is no leather in these headphones anywhere.
   
   I am replacing my 20 year old Sony MDR CD1000 headphones.
   
   The SA1000's required about 10 decibles louder amplification to do a side by side comparison, so as has been stated elsewhere, you may not be happy if you are using a portable player with low volume output. However as these are more designed for home use, I suspect that will seldom be a problem.
   
   I loved wearing my CD1000s as they were very comfortable wearing for extended periods. These SA1000s seemed to be more comfortable than the current competition for the price, but not as comfortable as my CD1000s as the SA1000s tend to irritate the top of my head after a couple of hours. The CD1000s had a spring loaded leather strap holding them in place, but none of the current offerings seem to offer this setup.
   
   I do like the sound. Their lighter weight allows them to rest completely off the ears without discomfort allowing a more spacious soundstage than my CD1000s offered.
   
   The fabric cord does tend to twist up more easily than other headphone cords, however they also wind up and un-twist easier and has not been a source of irritation.
   
   If you are looking for headphones to help you imagine that you are listening to the CSO in Orchestra Hall while resting on your couch at home without spending a ton of money, then these will work very well.
   
   Followup 3 month later, my review does not change, but I wanted to point out that they sound much better and much cleaner now than then did when I first wrote this review in comparison to my CD1000s. I have read in the past that some headphones require a break-in period and this seems to be true here as well.



4. The Sony MDR-SA1000 headphones are hard to beat. They are very comfortable and can handle high volume. Would recommend them to those that what extreme comfort and loud music with all the bass and highs they could possibly handle. Im a guy who has been into music for almost 40 years now, these headphones are hard to beat especially for the price I paid on Amazon. Zayberzero



5. Sony MDR-SA1000 DJ Stereo Headphones
   As a musician, writer, producer and engineer for 20 years, I've used many different headphones, these are simply the best for my purposes-light and comfortable, sturdy, precise with un-colored sound, straight cord. Most importantly is the sound-very, very accurate, and secondly the comfort - circumaural(around the ear, not on the ear). I have compared them to the Sony MDR 7506, AKG K240, Senns and ATH - The most surprising difference was in the high frequency coverage-crisp and cool. I've never written a product review before so understand that I was truly impressed by these phones. They met and exceeded my expectations. Note that these phones are on the 'large' physical size, but extremely light in weight.

1. DO NOT BUY THESE!!! They are awful, uncomfortable, easily breakable, and overall CHEAP. Never again.

5 comments about Skullcandy Buds Ink'd Earbuds - Dark Gray.

1. I owned dozens and dozens of different ear/head phones and these are the worst!
   
   1. its hard to put them in and keep them in place
   2. if you try to secure them it might crate high pressure in your ear since the air can't travel through the ear phones and that makes in almost unbearable to listen to music because it will hurt your ears.
   3. if you finally secure them in your ear you will hear the vibrations of the cable.
   
   I hate to complain and I usually dont bother to even post reviews for items but I feel that this is one of the worst products I ever owned IN MY LIFE and I would seriously not take them if I was offered them for free.
   
   Honestly you can get a better pair of ear phones for a buck at the dollar store.



2. These produce terrible, tinny sound. I was so disappointed. The noise canceling is negligible at best and the ear pieces are uncomfortable.



3. By far the best earbuds we (my boyfriend and I) have ever used. They are very comfortable and the music quality is GREAT. They cancel out all outside noise which is great for my boyfriend bc he works around saws and loud equipment... Have tried the others (phillips, Apple) and they dont compare.



4. Don't know what the negative reviewers are talking about. These fit my ear perfectly, the sound quality is amazing, and I am writing this review in the middle of a crowded auditorium with the headphones in and people talking all around me, and my volume level is as low as it can go and I can hear perfectly.



5. I bought my set of Skullcandy Buds Ink'd Earbuds to satisfy a specific need. The headphones that came with my SanDisk Sansa Clip fall out of my ears when I jog so I was looking for an inexpensive pair of in-ear earbuds in order to have a more secure fit.
   
   I knew I would likely be compromising some on sound quality, and that turned out to be the case with the low end on these only reaching 20 Hz. This is not always noticeable, but I could really tell when listening to Enemy by Days of the New. The opening baseline was almost inaudible. This only happens on specific songs, and I wasn't looking for top notch sound quality for my workouts anyway. The music is a distraction to help pass the time.
   
   However, these did solve the problem that I was having. I am using the medium ear pieces, and the earbuds fit securely yet comfortably as well. I have not had them fall out a single time in over a month, and they are comfortable to wear for easily 90 minutes at a time.
   
   All in all, these are good earbuds for a very specific use. If you are frustrated by your headphones falling out of your ears while working out, these are for you. However, if you are looking for top notch sound quality, you should pass on these.

5 comments about Sony MDR-V900 Monitor Series Headphones with Reversible Earcups.

1. I am providing this feedback 6 months after I purchased the V900. This is my first real headphone, and I am impressed. The quality is good, but I can't tell the difference between the higher end ear buds I have purchased. The comfort is excellent, unlike ear buds; I can where them as long as I want with no discomfort.
   
   Note: Primary use is casual listening, no studio work.



2. Sony has replaced their high-end line of headphones with the new "SA" series, which means good buys on oldies like the V900s. I was using the MDR-V700s, which are decent, but they are also heavy, and tend to get very uncomfortable after awhile. I've seen all the reports of cracked and broken hinges, but my pair survived roughly 1.5 years of use without a problem in that area.
   
   Because of the weight and comfort issue though, I wanted new cans that are around the ear to block out noise and are sealed (which rules out Grado and the Sony SA series) sound as good or better than the V700 (rules out Bose) and have less clamping force than the V700 so I can wear them for hours (rules out Sennheiser HD280 Pro). I also didnt want to spend more than $150 or so, and I wanted cans that are reasonably portable, which rules out Audio-Technica.
   
   Whats left are the V900s, which after several weeks of use are actually quite good. They showed that the V700s have a dull, recessed midrage and some coloration in the highs. The V900s are pretty neutral, perhaps slightly foward. Most recordings on my iRiver iFP-999 sounded a little bright, so I set the EQ to -3db at 14khz, which smoothed out the sound nicely. The V900s have everything I was looking for in a new pair of headphones. They are very light and very comfortable even after 4-5 hours of continuous use, they are efficient enough to use even with my notebook, they are portable, and they sound better than the V700s.
   
   If you're fine with open cans I'd suggest the Sony MDR-SA5000, which have phenominal sound for their price. If you want sealed but arent concerned with portability, get a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-W1000s (keep in mind though you have to buy them at a place that imports from Japan like Audiocubes).
   
   If you want sealed, light, portable, and quality sound for a reasonable price, the V900s are a good buy.



3. About a month ago, I decided to get some better sounding phones to use in my studio. I bought a pair of Sony MDR-v900, and a pair of Sony MDR-7506 from their pro-line.
   
   The v900 sounds fine for non-critical listening, but the 7506 shows much more detail. If you really wanna hear what's in the mix, the 7506 is the ticket.
   
   The v900 does favors for low bit-rate mp3 encoded stuff, and it's pleasant to listen to...with a bit of a bump in the 100-200Hz region, but there's just not enough detail to be able to use for critical projects.
   
   I bought more pairs of MDR-7506...that should tell you something. There has been some talk that Sony may discontinue the 7506...sure hope that doesn't happen.
   
   BTW, the consumer MDR-v600 is NOT the same thing as the pro-line MDR-7506. The v600 sounds much more like the MDR-v900.



4. I have had these headphones for about 4 years now and I have yet to hear a set that delivers better sound. The deep end is very rich but the entire range remains very balanced. The sound is very, very transparent to the point that you might get disappointed even with 192kbit MP3s. Very nice is also the impedance matching with the ipods which means that even the nano is capable of powering the V900 to a sound that will blow your eardrums if you so desire and it will do so for hours, which really comes as a surpise to me as the headset is capable of delivering 3W (!) of power. But really, anyone who spends this money on a headset is probably not about the power. These are so nicely balance that I usually avoid using an equilizer. I will admit that my experience with other topend headsets is limited, but if you go to the apple store and try every headset on display you will find that none will match the quality of the V900, including the over/on ear Bose noise canceling. While the Bose has a very good sound and is equally rich it doesn't have the transparency of the V900. The fit is very tight which shields very well from ambient noise. As a matter of fact I have used a leafblower in the backyard for several hours will listening to music, but having said that, it is NOT a noice canceling headset. Really the only drawback as I can see it is the weight. This is not a light set. In particular the very high quality cable comes with a huge weight penalty. It gets kind of ridiculus with the nano ipod, because the pod is probably less than half the weight of the headset. They are very comfortable on the ear so the weight is not felt that much, but when lying down or turning the head rapidly the weight will cause them to slip of. I bought the Bose in-ear set to complement.



5. I have read several of these reviews and I'm a hard core audiophile myself. For my portable players I have about 25 pairs of headphones so far and used the 700' for awhile but they are uncomfortable for extended listening, the 900s are a whole different level with much more detail, better base, even the top end. I would say the 700's are pleasant to listen with but the 900's are accurate, articulate and pleasant and I do not agree with the grainy assessment at all. The low end grado's have nothing on these I suspect people saying this are using inferior equipment which I think the 900's are too revealing to use with less than ideal equipment.
   
   I had an ipod which was very clear but you can only use lower bit rates and the sound is not all that balanced. The creative 40 gig has an EQ at least so you can adjust it to the headphones (the 700's and 900s are the only one's I've used where I kept the EQ flat) the Cowen player I'm using now is outstanding, finally a true high-end portable sound. I'm using lossless right now and the sound with the 900's is very very good! The sound is very detailed, warm and full, I'm happy finally with portable sound.
   The Cowen player and these 900's are an awesome combo, incredible coherence with such a small system, they actually image and have spatial cues. My only warning is that the Cowen's have enough power to make your ears bleed so be careful with younger listeners, it doesn't break up no matter what you throw at it.
   
   Good luck

1. To be honest, for the price, these aren't a bad pair of headphones. they're fairly comfortable, although a lack of adjustment means that they don't quite sit on your ears properly.
   
   The 6.3mm jack means that you'll have buy an additional adaptor to make them fit your average MP3 player.
   
   You might want to look at the Sennheiser HD202 headphones, which will be a far better choice. But a good effort.
