Quite a find, the DR-Z6 - dome diaphragm, pallatium coated,unusally wide coil... very modern indeed. Sony headphones are quite underrated. How would you compare them to modern models of different brands?
I just laid my hands on a DR6M, monitor headphones presumably made for the professional Walkman cassette recorders (for radio, film etc). Gonna give them some time before I make judgement.
