I thought these were supposed to be Sony V6 competators. I am surprised you paid so much for it, although in some parts of the world electronics items are priced very high. It is now $73.50 on Amazon, so it is close to the Sony V6 price. I guess in some parts of the world though the Sony V6 is $120. I would like to see a detailed comparison to the Sony V6, Sennheiser HD280 pro, and AKG 240 studio.
