Ok guys after reading this thread i thought i would chip in with the information that i know about the sony MDR z700's

I've been to sony's asian catalogue site and all their models of headphones are indeed MDR Z's, 150's, 300's, 500's, 600's 700DJ, 900's and 900HD In europe and America they are MDR V's in Asia they are MDR Z's. If you don't believe me go look at this page...on the right there is a yellow box with all the models of headphones.

Yes there are fakes of these MDR Z700DJ's going about and the easiest way of telling the fakes are by:
1. the cord should not be shiny plastic...but rubber like and dull
2. the jack plug should be gold plated and the bigger adapter should screw on....NOT just click on.

I bought a pair of these on ebay for £24.50 plus £9.99 postal, and yes i was worried i had a fake pair....but i checked all the things to outrule my pair were fake......my pair has the rubber like cord, and my bigger jack plug had to be screwed on....so i was lucky that i got a pair of genuine MDR Z700's....they came in a sealed box with a guarantee...although it's in japanese.....but what the hell a pair of MDR Z700's that are exactly the same as MDR V700's for less than half the price.....cheapest i can get V700's in the UK are for £77

Here are pictures showing what to look out for in the fakes.

I hope this clears up the difference from fakes and genuine Sony MDR Z700's
All specs of the V700's and the Z700's are exactly the same.....only difference is the pair i bought are The Japanese domestic released version.
