I picked up a pair of these at BestBuy a couple years ago -- and I've been really happy with them. Very comfortable, sturdy headphones. Not entirely faithful in the highest frequencies, but great in mids/bass. I enjoyed a wide range of music through these, though these seem to do best with electronic music. I think my Fostex TH-X00 sound a bit better, but these Sony 'phones are way more comfortable, especially for long sessions.
These headphones do a decent job of keeping music in / keeping noise out, but they are not 100% closed -- there are little vents that let some sound through. Can be driven by just about any device if necessary. Really shines when driven by a decent DAC/amp.
Whether or not these are worth $500 is up to you. I feel like I've gotten my money's worth though.
