Sony V700 Headphones

The improvement of the raw scans over my old V700 is amazing.

A perfect fit for the Epson V700 scanner plus accessories.

My Sony headphones look like new! AMAZING!!!

I love my new Sony headphones and the shipping was really fast!

The sound really came alive using these cans. Sony knows headphones.

Fit perfect for my Sony headphones

I have used the V700 for 6 years and loved it. When it tanked, I went with the V850. These has been no noticeable improvement in reflective scans, and I have yet to do film. The only noticeable difference is that the scan light does not stay on when the scanner is powered up. I realize this is good, but I can no longer do a quick check for surface smudges. I haven't used the Silverfast software provided since I already own the version 8.8 archive suite.

The new portras are beautiful films. They scan quite well even on my puny v700. Also does a nice black and white conversion. Drop some this stuff in your F5 and you're done. Well, almost done :)

I've had a V700 for years, used primarily for scanning film (mostly negatives, some slides). The results were usually good unless the film had a "bow" or curl and wouldn't stay flat in the carriers. In recent years it would also "lose communication with scanner" and Epson Scan would close - sometimes several times for 20 frames. The 850 is faster, has glass carriers to hold negatives flatter, and has yet to lose communication during a scan. I'm very pleased.

We use this scanner to scan photographs and film and slides. It is fast. It gives great looking results. We also use Perfection V700s and this scanner is just as fast as the v700. It isn't quite as capable as the 700 (batch only 4 slides as opposed to 12, etc) but we knew that buying them. The scanner does not disappoint. We also have some v500s and it basically is the same as a v500 but a lot faster and a tad bit quieter. Not that any of them seem to be loud. Epson quality, speed and performance are terrific--its why we have chosen them over all other scanners these days. But, one thing we have noticed about all epsons is that they could improve performance more by changing or giving the user the opportunity to choose to change how batching is done. Right now you select multimple masks and the scanner sweeps the glass multiple times to scan the multiple images. A faster way would be to sweep the glass once and separate the images based on the user given masks after the scan. In fact an"old" scanner we have that does this is a slow scanner, but almost matches the speed of our v700 when configuring batch scans this way. Bottom line is that the v600 is fantastic! Its virtually as fast as the v700, has almost as many features and capabilities and cost a lot less than the v700 and only slightly more $ than the v500. It is simple and efficient to use. Great for a home user or in the work place really. It looks nice. Seems to be built with quality and it even sounds nice.
