I've had my v6s for almost a year, and I was happy with them until they started cutting out! I can still adjust so that I hear out of both sides, but after all the raving reviews about the durability, I was a bit saddened that they didn't last longer. I don't mistreat my headphones, and made...

Just got my new V6s, and I'm super excited!!! They look really sturdy, and I'm just starting to listen with them. They probably need some burn-in time, but even now they sound (unsurprisingly) so much better than the apple earbuds. They also seem like they'll isolate sound pretty well, which is...

Quote: That's what I thought too :D And especially, the v6s have been around forever, and I've read so many good reviews on its various aspects, despite its limitations and the price. I'll definitely post up how they work out.

After some more research and waffling, I've decided to go with the classic v6s despite some concerns... hopefully I don't regret it! Thanks for all of the advice everyone! Believe me, I took everything into account ;)

I've finally decided to stop waffling and go with the v6s. Thanks, Armaegis!

Kind of a repost, with some modifications... looking for some nice durable headphones <$100 with not too much sound leakage, meant for home listening as well as outdoor+bus listening. Music: classical, pop, rock, j-pop, practically anything...   Anyone know how these compare? -Sony MDRv6...

Quote: Thanks anyway! I'll look more at the v6s   If anyone knows how the v6s compare to ATH-M30 or HARX700/900, if I could get some input on that I'd greatly appreciate it. I've read about them all separately, and everyone seems to have good things to say about each (within the...

Quote: Interesting, do you know how it compares (besides price difference) to either the ATH-M30 or JVC HARX900?

Quote: I've read some negative comfort reviews on the V6, and that they can pinch the ears. Do you think it's a huge problem, or that the sound quality trumps a slight problem of comfort?

Saw this thread right after I made my own (ack! anyone know how to delete threads, or is it just not possible?) I'm a beginner when it comes to headphones. I've had the typical apple earbuds, KSC75, and KTXPRO1. Both the KSC75 and KTXPRO1 had good sound quality given their price, but I found...

So I'm quite the beginner when it comes to headphones; I've never had a pair above $50, and have had only a couple lower quality headphones. At first I had the typical white apple earbuds that come with ipods, and then had a pair of KSC75s. Compared to the apple earbuds, the KSC75s had a much...
