Haven't been on head-fi in a long while because my interests have shifted largely towards, cycling, But I will give an update about my mdr-v6 headphones. They must have THOUSANDS of hours on them by now (I use them on average about 7 hours per day). They are about 2 and a half years old now, and...

  Haha. Just as his die, I have had mine for almost 1 year now. These are my first and only "real" pair of headphones. Long live the V6!

This song sounded FANTASTIC with my sony MDR-V6 headphones. Let the eargasms begin! - Lou rawls- Natural Man

I would sure get them! Sad seing a pair of "history" being discontinued. A 28 year production run is pretty good, though!

Quote: Jump on them! I want some for 80 bucks...Where did you find them?!?!!??! Btw sorry for the triple post...It wouldn't let me edit my other posts and then it glitched and deleted what I wanted to say here :(

Quote: I am really intrigued from those!

Quote:     I find the red sticker much sexier and the metal plug on the V6 is better than the plastic plug on the 7506 IMHO.

That might be a good thing- That is the cheapest I have ever seen a pair of 7506s go for. I might buy a pair of those myself!

The lack of mids and highs probably means a bad cord. The previous owner must have really badly abused them. I wouldn't do this due to new ones being fairly cheap, but You could try rewiring them which is fairly easy. If that doesn't work, you can replace the drivers- At that point is starts...

Quote: I was just about to buy it yesterday until I heard about Unicomp keyboards. Now I have to choose between the amp or the keyboard . I will probably decide once I get my new desk on sunday that is replacing my 19 year old Staples desk- That is called getting your moneys worth when it...

Quote: That is Exactly what I was thinking! I researched more about bitperfect and such, And now I get how everything works.           Thank you everyone for the fantastic supplies and wealth of knowledge in this category  It makes buying choices a lot easier! Especially Sonic Defender...

Quote: do you know of any slightly higher end models under 120? I will probably be upgrading these headphones within the next 2 years.   Quote:       Yeah, The MDR-V6 is a great day to day headphone. Mine have well over 1,500 hours on them and are still going strong. I also checked...

Pardon my confusion, I am only 15 and have been interested into high end audio for about a year now . I am split between getting a usb DAC or USB sound card. There are not many USB sound cards, But there are many USB DACs. Would a DAC act as a "sound card"? My idea is that there would be no...

Quote: Yes, too expensive :(   Quote: And that's where the problem comes in. The cheapest I can find it 174 bucks, And I also went to Best Buy and they were 330 (!!!). I was in disbelief, So I made sure they were not the higher and model they produce, And they weren't. I would get...

It looks kind of cheap :/ I also have never really favored logitech products, as everything I own from them is junk. Do you know any other good headphones from reputable brands such as Senheiser, Koss, etc?

I am heading into high school in about 2 weeks (Very excited) and I decided that I should splurge some money on a new pair of headphones. I will be using them in the classroom ( I am in a high level school with only 350 people, so the teachers are slack about using headphones while you work)...

But you don't get the lemon fresh scent :)

I recently got a Galaxy s4 and I really liked the ear tips from the stock headphones, So I ripped those off, put those on my JVC xtreme xplosive earbuds (Got them for a gift, I would never buy them myself- Too much bass and lack of clarity), And then replaced the foam/cloth covering the drivers...

Derp- And I just realized this thread hasn't been active in 2 months..

This is exactly when I am using them- On bike paths. I would NEVER wear headphones on the road where hearing is very important. By the way, Sorry everyone for not replying in this thread once. I completely forgot I had a head-fi account until yesterday 

I always clean my Sony MDR-V6 headphones with plain water and a paper towel, but I thought that pledge would be a good idea to clean them with. My headphones smell like....well...my head since they have been in constant use for almost a year. Would pledge damage the leather/pleather...

There are so many choices for in ear headphones but I have no idea what to choose. The audio quality doesn't matter that much because of the noise when biking. I need ones that stay in. I have been looking at Yurbuds and they seem like a good choice. Any recommendations?

I love pandora but it is disappointing that the premium version only is 192kbs. Does anyone know anything else that is good and offers very good audio quality?
