haven't used those particular pair but take it from me, sony makes pretty decent headphones. I'm using the MDR-xB500's and they've worked very well for at least 2 years, nothing broken or wrong, although the ear cup material has worn a bit. Decent sound quality too.

I feel like the MDRs haven't changed in nearly 30 years, maybe that speaks for itself but there are better headphones for that price range. I also think it's simply a bad design, from experience the open wires can easily get ruined, rendering the thing useless. Trust me you'd be much better off getting a pair of Sennheisers.

head-fi seems to like them okay, but I'd expect more for their retail price. At 78$ they're probably worth your time if you're on a tight budget, but since they require a really good soundcard to sound good and, at least in my opinion, don't look very nice or high quality I would pass.

I have them on right now and they are pretty kick ass. The price is pretty good for what they offer. I use them for both teamfortress 2 and whenever i play go bam-bam on my drum set since they are effective noise canceling headphones that also have some really strong speakers. They feel sturdy enough to last more then needed and many people in reviews have had them and use them frequently for many many many years so I'll trust them since these have not broke as most other companies headphones for me just break within a year after purchase. I say buy them because even if you don't need more headphones at 78$ they will be more useful then most other headphones at that price or at its regular price.

What? Pretty sure these were $60 on normal price a few months ago when I was looking for headphones (might be the mdr v6, but pretty much exactly the same according to headfi)
edit:
same exact price on B&H http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/49510-REG/
second edit I don't think these are particularly hard headphones to drive, though a good soundcard would definitely make them (along with most if not all headpones) better
