Sony MDR-V900 headphones review

Oh, what a difference a year can make. When I bought my Sony MDR-V700s in early 2004, the V-900s cost twice as much (over $200), and have identical specs, so I went with the V-700s. A year later, Sony has replaced its entire line of headphones,......

The MDR-V900s fit my requirements for all-purpose headphones perfectly. They are so comfortable that even after more than seven hours of continuous use on a flight to the UK, my ears were not the slightest bit sore. The sound, after some heavy EQing...

5-80,000 Hz - do you really need more reasons?

Soundwise, these are the ultimate studio monitor headphones. At 5-80,000 Hz (!), the frequency response has a way wider range than any other consumer headphone, incidentally making the part of the response curve that is within humans' audible spectrum...

Excellent Quality, Build, and Price.

Absolutely perfect headphones for studio use. What to consider when buying headphones: 1. Mixing / Vocals / Regular Listening - I use these for mixing and listening. I have Senns Open-Air for vocals. 2. Comfort - I wear these 45 hours a week. I don't...

A treat!!!

Great construction unlike the v700 and the sa1000. I believe these will last a while. My v700 and sa1000 both broke where the head piece meets the cup...but the sound was awesome. These v900hd sounds better than my previous headphones and the...

A treat!!!

Sound is crisp throughout the spectrum...especially the highs. Cushions are very comfortable around the ear

The dark brown color of the cushion is little dated...why was it not black

Product Specifications

Studio Monitor Series headphones incorporate state-of-the art engineering design to produce excellent sound quality and wearing comfort to accommodate high-end consumer or professional applications. Circum-Aural Ear cup design in the natural shape of the human ear positions the driver unit at a correct distance from the ear canal and creates a sealed resonance chamber over the earlobe itself, reducing pressure on the ear for a more comfortable fit, especially during extended listening sessions. Oxygen-Free Copper Voice Coil construction provides exceptionally high power handling capability of up to 3, 000mW. Amorphous Diamond Evaporated Diaphragm stiffens the drivers to maximize their tonal qualities while minimizing additional weight for much more natural sound. Folding Design with supplied carrying case offers the convenience of easier portability. Reversible Ear cups for Single-Side Monitoring let vocalists and musicians hear external surrounding sounds naturally while simultaneously listening through one side of the headphones. Cushioned Headband adds to wearing comfort and a better overall fit. Class 1 Oxygen-Free Copper (LC-OFC) connecting cord used here is highly conductive for maximum signal transmission with the lowest possible signal noise or distortion.
