Budget Help!!! SENNHEISER/SHURE/AUDIO-TECHNICA - Page 3

Thanks. But that seems a bit out of my price range. When looking at a pair of $75 SRH440, it seems like those $150 headphones are just too much.

The Sony V6 is very neutral and very durable. Mine is 23 years old and works fine. I just needed to replace the earpads. The V6 is a classic professional headphone.

 

B&H sells it for $95 with free US shipping.

Amazon has the Sony 7506 for $105. There are many threads comparing the V6 to the 7506. They are very similar. Some would argue they are the same while others say the 7506 has  slightly stronger magnets and is a bit brighter with less bass.

Hm... I haven't really heard alot about them.

This will be a hard decision...

I'm still voting on 440's ;)

 

The Sony's are really nice though. Not to make this any tougher or anything but, at this price point, it'd be a shame if you didn't take a good look at them. 

 

Have you looked at cost + shipping? That might help by pushing a few items past $100.

I read alot of reviews, and finally decided on the Shure SRH440 with SRH840 pad upgrades.

Now I'm just waiting in the mail...

Thanks guys for all your thoughts!
