When I from MDR-V55 first saw the product image, my first thought was: The looks like my MDR-V500! So just ordered. My premonition was confirmed, which is the pimped version of the V500 V55. Sony, however, has changed everything here has always bothered me before. The cable was cut and replaced by a flat web cable with mini-jack. This used to be a spiral cable with thick straight plug. The headband has remained the same. The sound has changed a lot and that 200% toward positive. The basses are cleaner and stronger. Mids and highs have clearly gained momentum. Loud enough he is in spite of the 40 Ohm also. The workmanship is typical Sony-good. Only two points bother me: 1 votes could be a little clearer. 2. A bit more space stands the total of good sound to shame.
Conclusion: For SRP 90,00 / 69,00 Amazon you get a very stylish and well above average sounding headphones in good workmanship quality. Who then still buys, overpriced and poor lot-sounding, Beats by Dre Solo or Solo HD's own fault.
