Summary: Sound Great, Feel Great... These are wonderful
Comment: I broke my last two sets of headphones... I spent about $20.0 on each pair and I really didn't think I was missing much.. but I did notice when I got an even cheaper set that made my music sound like I was listening in on someone elses music through a metal pipe..... Not to mention discomfort.
THESE HEADPHONES.. are worth the price.
1) They're comfortable. Nice padding... Each side is labled (one for the right ear and one for the left ear)...
2) No outside noise. They're big-- all you hear is the sound of whatever you're listening to. I ride the train to work (which is really loud) .. I used to turn up my music when I got on the train to hear it (which was probably really bad for my ears...) and then turn it back down again once I got off, knowing that everyone around me could probably hear whatever I was listening to at the time... these are a nice constant.... I like that :-)
3) They have lots of different "modes" on both ears. There is a switch you move for MOVIE, Sound Mode, and Music mode. Nice and convient :-)
I use these for my IPod, and my PSP. I don't really need headphones for much of anything else... but I do recommend these.

Summary: Worth the price
Comment:
I've been looking for good headphones for quite a while. I did my online research and found this to be the best headphones at the price range I was willing to pay for. Best Buy were selling these for 100 bucks not including taxes but I ended up paying 80 bucks incl. shipping at Amazon.
Anyways, these headphones are great. The sound is very good. When you blast the music loud, it doesn't hurt your ears. The surround sound is excellent as well. There isn't too much trebele so the guitars won't be piercing in your ears if you put the music volume up a little higher than normal. They fit very combortably and it seriously doesn't feel like you're wearing big headphones.
The only thing I fault is the goofy design on top of the headphones. Like one of the pervious reviewer said, I wouldn't really want to wear these in public. I don't know why Sony made the goofy design on top. THis is pretty much for my home use so I'm satisfied with what I got. The sound is awesome adn tahts all I can ask for.

Summary: Fantastic Headphones at a great price!
Comment: I bought these headphones after trying a couple of cheaper philips and sony sets and also reading nothing but good reviews. These headphones are fantastic the sound quality is excellent, I use them for watching TV/Movies at night, and they do a top job. Other headphones I tried sounded quite tinny. these just bring movies and music alive. also these are the most confortable headphones I have ever worn. You dont even realise you have these large things on your head. Other headphones Ive tried tended to get quite uncomfortable after a short time. They do sound better after about a day or two, to break them in. The Movie/Music switch dosent seem to do much/anything. These headphones are well worth the price.

Summary: Balanced sounding, sound price.
Comment: I just got these phones after reading up quite a bit about them online, and they are just about perfect for their price. The bass that these cans put out is more clearly heard than GW Bush's lies during a State of the Union speech. The mids are very distinctly found between the highs and lows, and the highs are crystal as can be without sounding saturated or staticy. I was pretty entheused to hear these things when I got them; I took them out of the packaging, plugged them in and ran them on a few different sounding tunes. I started off with some nice idm/electronica so that I could get a feel for the bass aspect of them, and they were very solid on that end. They seem to be able to produce very deep lows with seemingly no stress. The bass isnt muddy or restrained or half-hearted. It is textured, smooth, and clean. I went on to some experimental noise, here is where I noticed that the highs are sparkling. I like a lot of music that has static and white noise, whir and drone, and these phones can distinctly produce the right sort of highs for this sort of music without being pierce-y or overdriven. The mids and balance between the mids, highs and lows, were tested with some singer songwriter style folk and then some jazz. Ive read some things about the vocals seeming nasally on this model of Sony's, but I havent heard anything remotely nasally, infact, it seems the opposite. The vocals I hear on these cans are full and very acoustic and natural.
Ive compared these to my old phones a few times and the results are amazing. They are extremely comfortable and look neat and unique compared to other more expensive phones. I am pretty sure these have the same driver as the Sony Studio Monitor Series DJ Headphones MDR-V700DJ, but the MDR-V700DJ's earcups dont cover the entire ear. I would suggest the MDR-XD400's over the other model for home listening; my friend has a pair of MDR-V700DJ's and mine seem more comfortable.
These really are the ultimate home headphones for under a hundred bucks, and I could easily see them working great in a professional audio/media production enviornment. They produce a surround sopund effect and handle all the range one need's for a pleasurable and full media entertainment experience.
Overall, these cans are spectacular, and probably worth double what Sony is selling them for, much less including the bargain price on amazon. They come with a nice and long chord extension, and a plug adapter which is wonderful for far away listening. (I can now make coffee in my kitchen while my pc sits in my din and all the while I can listen to whatever I want.) The sound is more than great, they look neat, and they are a kickass price.

Summary: Scrumtrilescent!
Comment: These headphones are delightful. No. No. They are brilliant. No, no, no, no. There is no word to describe its perfection, so I am forced to make one up. And I'm going to do so right now. Scrumtrilescent.
Cons: they are pretty loud outside of the ears, so roommates may be a problem in closed proximities. They look ridiculous on my head, i would never go in public in with these.
Pros: They sound very good, and 70 bucks is worth it. Comfortable and good for people that sit at their computer for continuous hours.

The Sony MDR-XD400 Stereo Headphones are a great pair of headphones that deliver high-quality sound and affordability. With 50 millimeter diameter, dome-type driver units and long-stroke diaphragms, your music will sound great. The MDR-XD400 driver units reproduce surprisingly-clear sounds at a wide frequency range (5-30,000 Hz). These substantial headphones feature neodymium magnets for greater power handling and higher frequencies. Five times more powerful than standard earphone ferrite magnets of the same size, neodymium magnets mean that the Sony MDR-XD400 Stereo Headphones maximize energy, while keeping size to a minimum. With these advanced technological features, the MDR-XD400 provides great sound without placing too much strain on your pocketbook. With the MDR-XD400, Sony has taken special care to please both the audiophile and cinema-geek. The MDR-XD400 features a sound mode switch (music or movie) to more adequately match the sound source. With a simple flip of a switch, you can focus the headphones frequency range to make your music come to life or bring you that much closer to your favorite film star. Of course, Sony has not scrimped on comfort. The Sony MDR-XD400 Stereo Headphones feature an ear-conscious design with soft earpads for long-time listening comfort. What's in the Box
The Sony MDR-XD400 Stereo Headphones, 2.5 meter extension cord, and unimatch plug adapter (gold).
