You don't want the V500. Read this:

Go for the MDR-V6 instead. (Not V600)

bangraman and dodgyguy seem to think they're pretty decent. i haven't spent much time with them, but i have heard them and i'd still take the V6 any day.

I'd say they're acceptable, not 'pretty decent'. Good for the iPod due to their bloated bass. There are definitely better phones, but these aren't as bad as some say.

I prefer the Sennheiser HD25-1 out of the iPod, but they are a little more than the V700DJ and admittedly not as cool looking.

Or, you could try these out and tell us all about it...
