Amazon.com Product Description
Audiophiles and disc jockeys who demand powerful, high-quality sound will appreciate the Sony MDR-SA5000 DJ Stereo Headphones. With the 50 millimeter diameter, dome-type driver unit and Sony's newly developed nanocomposite diaphragm, your music will sound loud, clear, and rich. The MDR-SA5000's high-definition driver units reproduce crystal-clear recorded sounds at a super-wide frequency range (5-110,000 Hz). These top-of-the-line headphones feature neodymium magnets for greater power handling and higher frequencies. Five times more powerful than a standard headphone ferrite magnet of the same size, neodymium magnets mean that the Sony MDR-SA5000 DJ Stereo Headphones maximize energy, while keeping size to a minimum. With these advanced technological features, these headphones provide clean, remarkable sound. The Sony MDR-SA5000 DJ Stereo Headphones' open-air design was built with the disc jockey in mind. With a lightweight magnesium frame structure, the MDR-SA5000 can help you get into your groove without feeling bogged down by heavy equipment. Sony has not scrimped on comfort, designing the ear pads with natural leather and providing a pressure dispersion pad for extra wearing comfort. Sony has also wrapped the (6N-OFC) headphone cord with a soft cloth to help protect your records and fine equipment from scratches and dings. These features allow you to listen to clear, robust sound in comfort and with care. What's in the Box

 Great headphones for those looking for speed, detail, and impact! November 6, 2008
I received the SA5000 a few days ago from Amazon and right out of the box, have been very impressed. The headphones are extremely light, comfortable, with good build quality. The included metal stand is a GREAT touch, highly useful and I wish other manufacturer's would take a cue from Sony in this respect. On to the sound. In the past I have owned DT880, K701, and Grado 225 so I have a preference for detail and air over the common Sennheiser sound which has more weight in the bass but to me, loses out in terms of clarity. I prefer an accurate and neutral presentation which will allow me to hear the recording as accurately as possible. As a source and amp I am using the Apogee Duet which does very well with low impedence phones such as the SA5000.
The SA5000 is extremely fast, detailed, and had good impact. Most of all, I find it neutral with a cool tint, as opposed to the Audio Technica AD2000 (another suberb headphone) which is neutral with a warm tint. The SA5000 absolutely crushes it (best in class) with fast music such as electronica and death metal; however, I also find it competent with most of the genres I've thrown at it. Highly recommended for those who like an open, fast, detailed presentation and have a decent source to match.
 Almost but no cigar. June 28, 2008
I use a Rega Apollo cd player. The MDR-SA5000 produce freakishly realistic sound. Vocals will make the hair on your neck stand up, because you will think the person singing is in the room with you. Unfortunately these headphones are way too bright. They are very revealing to the point of being a flaw. I felt that these headphones had the potential to be the best, but I could not get past the brightness. I ended up selling them however I still wonder how they would sound with an aftermarket cable. FYI the much cheaper MDR-SA1000 series sound almost identicle to these. The SA1000 use the same driver components and I liked them as much as I like these. The SA1000 are not as comfortable but you will be able to decide if you want them or not. I now use HD600's (these are better than the more expensive HD650's) with a blue Cardas cable. I was the biggest skeptic regarding expensive aftermarket cables, A GOOD CABLE IS A MUST HAVE! If you are using headphones that cost $200 or more get a good cable or don't even bother. Buy a used Cardas cable (or equivilant from another company) made for your particular headphone and try it, you can always re-sell it. You will not believe the difference.
Great Headphone But Read If Your Going To Use For Computer June 14, 2008

This product is great if your like me and been dreaming of this forever and stepped up from some cheap 30dollar pair of headphones the difference is going to be big at first but you going to wonder wheres the Bass/Treble when you first hear it. These headphones are made to withold the high db in both your bass and treble. I got a pretty nice outcome with one of the best soundblaster cards and turning the basic treble and down to 50% where there is no reduction or enhancement and did it manually with the Sound out equalizer and this is the settings i found to be happy with. My friends and i are greatly impressed with the difference now.

Great headphones June 2, 2008
These headphones are expenseive but worth the price. Their light weight and very comfortable design permit long sessions without any discomfort. The sound quality is absolutely perfect. I liked these much better than equivalent Sennheisers I have tried.
 Great Heaphones, but ... March 25, 2008

I wear headphones for very long periods of time, and I have to say that these are wonderfully comfortable, and are of superb quality, however, the sound bleeds out and can easily be heard by someone sitting across the room, even at the lower volume levels! I've never experienced this with any other headphones, so would not recommend these if you're going to wear them whilst sitting relatively near to someone else.
