Not perfect for anybody
I don't know exactly who these were designed for. I'm a DJ, and tried using them for both spinning & home use. I found:
Positives:
* Great sound quality
* Can take a lot of amplification and bass without distortion
* Block outside noise well
Negatives:
* They're really comfortable with both earphones on, but hard to wear on only one ear! They're just not built for it!
* They are HUGE and feel like they are going to break. They earcups are connected by a very small joint. I was too nevous to actually take them to a gig.
* So, I thought, fine, maybe I'll just use them at home & work and get another set for gigs - but no. These headphones project sound outwards. To people in the room, it sounds like you are listening to laptop speakers.
So, unless you're a studio dj who works alone, I'd go with the 700's

Poor sound or bad luck?
I just received the Sony MDr-SA1000 and bought it directly from Amazon. I don't know if I received a fake or what but my headphones' box appeared scratched on the outside which made me question whether it was new, like the vendor claimed. Despite this, the headphone itself seemed new/mint condition.
Comparing my previous experience with the Sony MDR-V700DJ, the MDR-SA1000 seems utterly lacking in the bass department. Even when I adjust my equalizer for my songs this headphone reaches nowhere near the volume and fullness of the Sony MDR-V700DJ. The bass gets completely distorted when I try to adjust the sound. The volume level it is able to reach is worse than some $30 headphones I've had. There is way too much treble in this model but what's annoying is that even with sound adjustments, this problem can't be overcome. Considering how much this headphone cost, I am totally disappointed and will buy the Sony MDR-V700DJ from a trusted vendor.
Beware buyers!!!!

The 700's are pretty sterdy just dont step on them
I bought these with a certificate, cuz I stepped on my 700's. They lasted me a good two years I'd say. I didn't treat them very nice. Most Dj's use either these or the 700's. Sony's got some good headphones. Like the way they feel on my female head. Holla!

I do love Sony headphones.
Having had a pair of Sony headphones for some 16 years (until the padding finally started to fall off) I decided to keep with the Sony brand. It was a safe and very good decision as it led me to these headphones.
I will keep this short. These headphones sound great, look great and feel great. You can wear these and forget you even have them on. The cord is nylon which lasts much longer then the old fashioned cords and are easy to unknot. The cord is also very long.
I have no complaints with these headphones and recommend them to anyone.

Very nice!
I've just used these headphones for a week, and I am enjoying it so much! Unlike the other people's complaint about the clicking sound, I have none of such thing. I shook my head, jumped, ran with it, but there was no clicking sound from the joint as long as I'm wearing them. Maybe sony improved the design recently?
The sound from the headphone is very realistic (especially human voice) and the volume is also quite loud. I worried that this had 70 ohm impedence, so it would need a headphone amp for a big sound, but this works very well with my portables.
One downside is that the cord is way too long. Other than that, I love it!
