What are your experiences with this set of cans? I'm looking for a good closed alternative to the V6's, since their upper mid/lower treble is too harsh for my ears. How do the M30's compare to the V6's? Their frequency response is only 20-20,000 as opposed to the V6's 5-30,000, so am I looking...

Hi,   I'm looking to spend under $200 on a portable pair of headphones I intend to use during subway commute. I listen to mostly classical music (frequency range 50-10000) and need something with a detailed mid-range and a bright treble. Comfort is also important. Large ear caps preferred.  ...

I bought a pair of V6s a while back, and used them portably for about three months before encountering an issue with the cable. About half an inch or so in from the plug, if that segment of the cable bends, the sound will cut in and out in one or both channels. Walking around with them makes...

so im going to buy the sony MDR-V6 from amazon. http://www.amazon.co...d=ATVPDKIKX0DER So i was wondering should i buy these beyerdynamic Velour pads now or later or should i even buy them at all? http://www.amazon.co...d=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Sorry if I posted in the wrong section. I was searching for a store to buy a SONY mdr-v6.  I went to the Sony store where I found that they don't have the Sony mdr-v6 now.  While I was on my way searching around, I found a store where they sell headphones.  And its cheaper than the actual...

Huge metalhead here. I'm into all metal, death, thrash, doom, black (all real metal, which discludes nu/core metal). I'm looking for a suitable portable headphone. I'm currently focused on two headphones, the Sennheiser Momentum and V-Moda M100. I already have nice at home headphones (the AKG...

Hi, i am looking for some great headphones to use when i walk around outside, visiting parents or wahtever. :)   I listen mainly to metal, (Deathcore, Melodic) but also hip hop. but the main-thing is they need to be good for metal-listening.   my budget is around  130-150$   They...

So I just recently found an old pair of these in my closet. They have surprisingly very good sound quality. I spent the past hour searching the web trying to find the history of these. I ended up finding a forum post from here, dating back to 2003, but there wasn't any real info regarding them...

Hello everyone, I've been away from the hi-fi sene for quite a while, unfortunately, but not long enough for a mate of mine to ask for help picking up his first decent set of cans.  All he asks for is that "they're good" (well, duh), around 50-80 euro (let's make it 60-100 USD), and...

I would think an audio-engineer would know definitively if burn-in were a real phenomena. They'd probably use laser beams to measure the distance a driver traveled right after manufacture and again after 100 hours of use as well as how the sound wave looks in something like a Bruel & Kjaer HATS...

I hear/read that these headphones can sound more "smooth" and "transparent" when you give it more juice... not just to further increase volume but also refine some of V6/7506 headphone's rough edges such as its treble, "rebuild" the lost mids (when powered only with portable devices like iphones...

I've owned my MDR-V6s under a year and the right side has suddenly stopped working unless I twist the headphone jack around for a couple of minutes and try to hit a sweet spot. Is anyone able to help me at all? Thank you.

Does anyone know where to get them? The usual source for them a few months ago was BHPhotoVideo, but they seemed to have discontinued the line.   I was debating between getting the Beyerdynamic pads and the Pearstone pads, and heard that the Pearstone doesnt change the sound signature while...

I love these headphones, but I keep getting a crackle/popping sound coming from the left headphone. This happens only when I put them on, the foam inside the left headphone gets lightly compressed by my ear, and as it expands it makes the crackle sound. I don't know why only the left headphone...

I have an old pair of Sony MDR-V4 cans with the infamous V6-like deteriorating earpads. Does anyone happen to know what the part number for replacement earpads would be or even if they're still available? I think the pads off an MDR-7502 might fit them too, since the earcups appear similar my...

Hi guys,   A few days ago, I was planning on buying Plantronics GameCom 780 to use while I play computer games. Well, I did a bit of searching and learned that if I really want to get the most bang for my buck, I should buy a clip on mic and get a real pair of 'phones. So here I am. I've...

MAKE SURE TO READ THE END OF THIS POST FOR MORE CHOICES!   Hello, I'm new here at the Head-Fi forums, and I'm glad I found them.   I started a new thread because I feel that my request isn't as simple as some others, and I'd rather not get lost in the ocean of questions and answers found...

These headphones have been amazing to me, indestructable, sound quality is good comparing to my old Sennheisers, and im considering an upgrade from these bad boys, specifically in the $50-$85 dollar range in the Miami FLorida area, but i can buy online.   Ive been thinking of some audio...

I usually find myself in the portable headphones / IEM section, as I"m an IEM kind of guy, however recently I've become interested in full-size headphones although I'm having some problems and lack of time to research all the available options, so why not ask the community my question. I'm...

I work CNC embroidering machine and that means rattle of ~85-90db most of my work day. My HD448's are useless at keeping noise out, my supertight HD1500's are dead so, need replacement.   Need something to lessen noise and play some music via Samsung Galaxy S2. Good oldfashioned isolation is...

Hi. I am a life long music lover in the market for a pair of headphones.  Upon researching many positive reviews, I purchased a monoprice pair of headphones and really like them, but I have been looking for another, more serious pair of closed over the ear headphones that I can listen to at...

OK so my priorities are -comfort -durability -sound: deep well detailed bass large soundstage flatish eq Im going to use these around the house so Im leaning towards circumaurual. Ive had vmoda m80s, sennheiser hd228s, and Creative aurvanna lives. The CALs were the closest to what I want...

I have been using these headphones as portables for the last couple days since my sennheiser momentum headphones chord broke. I have been really enjoying the sound and feel of the sony mdr-v6. they're on ear but they feel really comfortable for some reason. their sound is balanced yet packs a...

Thinking about getting my brother some Sony MDRV6's to replace his old ones that finally broke after many many years of use. Seems like the MDRV6s have been around forever, are they still a good bang for the buck or are there newer headphones around the same price I should look into? Thanks!
