SO I read every review on these headphones before buying them, and had a lot of preconceptions about them before I bought them off Amazon. Just some things I felt were different from what everyone else was saying about them:   First, the build. Everybody praised how rugged it felt. The V6's...

So as a high school student 70 (used or new headphone prices) is about as much as i can afford at the moment :/ I am looking for headphones with decent to great isolation, but dont want to sacrifice too much sound quality. currently I am looking at: new sony mdr v6 or used ath a700...

I read that many higher end headphones require amps and such for mp3 players and the like, and for this reason the grado sr60i's would be a good choice for ipods. However, i wanted a pair that doesnt leak, so ive set my eyes on the mdr v6's. opinions?
