The thinnest part of the headphones by the ears break easily because it's so thin. Just be careful with it. Other than that the sound quality is good, now i have to buy my friend a new one cause he doesn't know i broke it! Just don't be rough with this headphone.
Sony MDRD777LP Review by Eric Brandel
It's sad. I love this style of headphone from Sony. I've had numerous models from them, starting with some of their classic egg styles in the past. The problem is that those, like these, suffer from subpar build quality. I bought two of these. Each one broke in the exact same way: the plastic pieces that hold the headphones in place broke. They both broke after 2-3 months of ownership. When they do break you see how poorly constructed they are. The plastic is very weak.
Also, these are just headphones I wear at the office, while working at my desk. I'm not stuffing them into some overstuffed bag or throwing them around the house.
Sony MDRD777LP Review by P. Rijnders "www.endpop.com" (Orange County)
When the box arrived from UPS, I was so excited that I ripped into the box and the plastic that holds the set. I couldn't wait to hear what I assumed was the deal of the century for twenty bucks. I plugged into my sound card (high end studio recording grade) and was astounded by some unmastered tracks that I had recorded a few years back. Then I plugged 'em into my iphone (using a non-included adaptor) and my glee turned to disappointment. A few modern songs that I'd purchased sounded muddy. I decided to get some coffee, sit on a corner under a tree and put some songs through a test. First up, the Rolling Stones. You know what? Every song was clear as a bell and I was underneath and inside the music. Silversun Pickups (released last year) - muddy and hurtful. In fact, most all of the albums that came out in the last five years sounded like crud. It didn't matter if they were wavs, mp3s, or aacs - most modern music was blowing up in my ears like a rattling spaceship ten seconds before destruction. For fun (even though I'm fairly young and listen to modern cds), I listened to the Kinks, Aretha Franklin, Trini Lopez and they all sounded absolutely brilliant. I now know that in the last ten years, mastering engineers have killed the sound of music.
I'm a musician and an audio instructor at a college. These headphones revealed (either in an inferior, but most likely superior audio build) that the squashing of the dynamics in modern music mastering has killed the quality of music in the misguided achievement of making songs "loud". Look it up, it's a real problem. Google "dynamic wars" or the the "Waves L2" and you'll see.
I went back and listened to the 80's, early 90's, 70's. Everything glimmered. Oh, and one modern recording sounded golden "Silver Lining" by Rilo Kiley (and it was an AAC file from Itunes, which is technically compromised goods). I'm going to buy a few pairs to give out to my friends who do music. I'm going to tell them that after their music is mastered, if it sounds bad in these, send it back and do it again. These are the yardstick to measure music quality, because something in the build won't let the music lie. Listen to something old and hear the details. You might cry, too.
Oh yeah, only 4 stars. Sound is awesome and they fit my ears right. It's just that the build is a bit janky.
