Ok, so my Sony MDR-V700 headphones finaly broke after 3 years of heavy use. The plastic has cracked in many places that can not be repaired with any type of glue.

I have a problem, I can't figure out which one of these headphones to get.

These I can get localy for $70

OR

Sony MDR-XD400

I would have to order them online, no place localy has them.

(portland, OR, usa here)

american audio ones looks like V700 "rip offs" with somewhat better specs but since they are cheaper in price than the V700.

but

the XD400 look a bit more comfortable and they look pretty sturdy

I'd pick the xd400's if I could find them localy but I kinda don't want to wait a week or pay $30 for 'fast' shipping

I'll say that the XD400s would be a substantial upgrade from the V700s for most general/casual listening, especially for genres such as Jazz, Acoustic, and Classical.

By the by, the XD400s can be obtained from your local/closest Circuit City and/or Best Buy/National Electronics Chain, if you don't mind paying retail.

Having said that, if you enjoy genre that offers a nice heavy bass, the V700s might be nice.
