I've recently "rediscovered" my V6's. I replaced them as my daily driver 6 or 7 years back after I got a crazy deal on HD25 Amperiors which genuinely seemed to trump them out of the box ... at the time. I had given up replacing the pads after 17 years of use the headband was developing the...

  Thanks for the recommendation but in my world 20% is merely a discount, not a bargain  - big difference.    I honestly have Zero interest in the Alpha Primes anyhoo. 

Took a while, but while shopping locally (SE Asia) for a pair of HD25's I spotted a pair on a retailers online advert at a very cheap price (sub $100).   I called the retailer (well over an hours drive) who had them in stock, however informed me outrightly that they "were not original, but...

Hi, I'm Deevey, producer and DJ for 20+ years and while I appreciate good sound, I tend to treat headphones more as a tool than just for pleasure.   Longtime Sennheiser and Sony user ... owning in the past Senn 414's, 465's and HD25sp's back in the late 90's and since the early 00's MDR-V6's...

Its one of the things that gives them a ridiculous sense of detail, needed in a studio environment.   But it can also bring out the worst in recordings and audio sources that have alot of otherwise inaudiable HF "hiss" and phasing in the top end of MP3's which can also make them really...

Having used and abused my MDR-V6's for 17+ years and Bought a pair of 7506's as a replacement a few years back, can tell you that IMHO ..    1. 7506's and V6's take YEARS to burn in to the point that there is any audiable difference from new. My 17 yr old V6's passed the Noticeable stage after...

Quote: And WIth that creasing on the headband possible fakes ? ... but who cares,   Very cool Mod (I wondered if you'd fit a surface mount inside a pair) and I'll probably be doing the same thing in a few weeks with a new pair :D
