Hey there guys, I like to use headphones at home, but when I'm on the go, I like to use earphones as they're much more convenient. I pretty much try to always have some earphones on me, they're usually earphones in the 30-60$ range. Most of the time, these earphones last on average 6-8 mths...

Hey there guys!   So I personally love my Sony MDR-V6, and I've had them for about four years now. I still love the sound of these things and fit and everything, but after four years things are starting to deteriorate. The earpads are pretty much coming unbound and flaking, which isn't a big...

Hey there guys! Looking for a quick suggestion on durable earphones. In the past 2 years I've gone through tons of earphones, from SoundMagic PL21s, Brainwavz M1s, JVC Black Edition Earphones (those carbon nanotube ones) and a couple others, and they have ALL broke in one way or another. I...

Hey there guys! So my earphones (Brainwavz M1) are starting to die after 10 or so months. While they did have pretty good sound quality, I'm quite dissapointed as they were supposed to have "amazing build quality", and didnt quite live up to that. So I'm looking for a new IEM thats <60$...

Hey there, as the title says, I'm looking for some new IEMs. My last pair, the JVC HA-FX40 were pretty decent but the left earphone just died out earlier today, hence why I'm looking for a replacement (they lasted 4-5 months, just in case anyone was looking at the FX40. Obviously I could've...

Hello,   I am looking to get a new pair of budget IEMs, as my previous pair of IEMs have broken.    I have a low budget of preferably under 50$, needed the ability to wear straight down, lots of comfort, and extreme clarity and detail with good treble alongside prominent bass with decent...

Does anyone know where to get them? The usual source for them a few months ago was BHPhotoVideo, but they seemed to have discontinued the line.   I was debating between getting the Beyerdynamic pads and the Pearstone pads, and heard that the Pearstone doesnt change the sound signature while...

Long story short: Love the MDR-V6. Love absolutely everything about it. Durability, comfort, sound signature, etc. I use them everywhere.   Only problem is, they're just a bit troublesome to carry everywhere sometimes. So I'm looking for an IEM to match them.   Are there any affordable...

Just poking around, I know these headphones usually aren't peoples favourite headphones, but they are well respected. The thing is, I've tried lots of other headphones, and the V6s are indeed MY favourite headphones ever. Durability is off the charts, nice rugged style, and sound, while I have...

So today I was sortof reflecting as to how I usually have the better things of all my friends even though I have less money. They have Beats, I have MDR-V6s, I know mine are better, and they do too. They have computers with random setups and they only know more RAM = better, while I have a great...

Long story short, I had 2 IEMs; a Sony MDR-something something; they were great, but now discontinued. I gave these to a friend who really needed some IEMs as he had no decent ones and he was a piano player and used his iPod heavily; dude needed em.   I also had Senheiser CX250s, which got...

Hi, last year I got Sony MDR-V6s. Love em totally. I'm stuck to their sound signature and think I'll be in their family for a long time. Anyway, the thing is, they are also my portable headphones; and at first it was fine. They folded up nice and compact, they were comfortable, they werent too...

'Tis a sad sad day when I plugged in my headphones a little too hard from an aggravated day, and physically broke my headphone jack.   I'm thinking getting it repaired will be too expensive, or just plain undoable, I will get an estimate on the repairal of it when I can (it's weekend so cant...

First and foremost I must say the in-ear's HAVE to be under 40-45$. These are really budget, but I'm not really a person who spends a lot on in-ears, I like my headphones more; but then again headphones arent really usable EVERYWHERE in my lifestyle as a highschooler, so I need some in-ears.  ...

So here's a few things I want to do with my V6;   - Remove the static shock - Make the headphones easier to drive/louder - Make the bass have a little more quantity or impact (something to freshen up the bass) without hurting anything else of the sound signature, including the highs. -...

So after a long time of searching, I've come to the conclusion that the Sony MDR-V6 and it's family simply don't have an appreciation thread. Lots of headphones and headphones families (or series, such as the Grado's) have appreciation threads, but it seems that many people like, love and think...

I'm really wondering what I can do with my Sony MDR-V6s. I really do like the sound signature, it's perfect for me, and I'll probably be looking eventually (not anytime soon) to get another Sony in this family to have a similar sound signature with better quality.   But, for now, I want to...

Yes. This is a bitter sweet treat. I have two 50$ best buy gift cards that are starting to show some age, and I dont really like having my gift cards expire, nor them collect dust or worsen the power-to-weight ratio of my house in the event that a hurricane comes and throws my house far far away...

Now I've been around the forums lately mentioning my V6s for awhile, before I got them and after, and I gotta say. I've tried Grados. Not for me. I've tried Sennheisers. Nice, but not for me. I've tried Shures. Nice, but uncomfortable and not durably and just cant stack up to all the other...

I dont know what I'm going to have to do to record this if no one belives me, but I SWEAR this is happening! If I partially unplug the Fiio chord (hooked up to my MDRV6 on the outpot and my laptop on the input), my music somehow seems more shallower, BUT I hear a news report from someones radio...

AND OH MY GOOD GOD THE DETAIL AND CLARITY IS ORGASMIC.   Now obviously you can see I'm no hardenned audiophile ;) but I really do like the clarity and soundstage these cans have, it's really quite nice.   Though i have some questions!   1. When should I be expecting them to burn in...

I searched but for some reason couldnt find a thread that answered the question.   Quite simply, I have a Fiio E6 now, and the stock 3.5 to 3.5 it has is annoying and isnt as good quality as i could get. So I want a LOD. I dont really want to spend much (as most people say not to spend too...

How underwhelming.   Now, I'm by no means an audiophile, and am actually just getting shipped my first decent pair of headphones (MDRV6s), but I went to my friends house today and found out he had SR60s (I had no idea he had them!!), and tried them. The headband was almost too small for my...

Now, I'm not really all that much of an audiophile, I'm more about the portable rig, and even my current headphones arent very good (Sony Giiqs. I used to have DJ-RPS400s from Panasonic, but I refunded those cause they kept breaking to get my first real decent set of phones. The MDRV6 :) It's...

Was looking to get either, and need to make my decision by tonight.   I've spent a little bit of time looking for new headphones to upgrade over my Panasonic DJ-RPS400s as they kept breaking on me, and I came across these two models, but I just cant seem to decide on one over the other.  ...
