Hello-
Please disregard the mistakes, I've been having drinks with a friend I
haven't seen in three years.
I've been using the same pair of headphones (not to be mistaken with
earphones) for 10 years now. They were my brother's, just like the 2 CDs
that I borrowed from him--but hey, he's my brother.
They are Sony MDR-V4. I'm guessing if they're still making them, they're up
to V9 by now. They're those kinds of headphones that white people don't
like to use because they're big. But not nearly as big as DJ
headphones--like the Sony 700 which everyone loves to have. I made the
mistake of not getting them when a friend worked at Sony in New York, but
there was a defect with the hinges of their early ones anyway. Hey, anyone
think Sony tests our their products in stores sometimes? kinda rude, but
those things that work are nice.
My old Sonys are pretty worn now, and they're definitely not small, but they
carry sound quite nicely. They're versatile because they have screw-on
adapters to go from 1/4 to 1/8, and they last. Not for exercise I guess
although mine have absorbed quite a lot of sweat over the years. Just the
thing for the train and/or bus though. or the PC or whatever else. I also
use them as microphones now which is great because people never know when
they're being recorded. haha--suckers ;-)
I'm still happy with real oversized headphones after all these years. They
cost a little more, but they sound good, and they last. I'm in the market
for a new one myself and I'll definitely post when I've bought "the one".
Although I'm sure there are some smaller ear/headphones that sound good.
Have a good week everybody.
