are these Sony MDR-V6 fake?

Last year I got Sennheiser HD419's and they sounded amazing but a little muffled, like they were holding back the mids and trebles. Now, I've decided to get professional headphones, and I've settled on either the V6's or the 7506's.   What's the difference between these two headphones besides...

I recently bought a CMOYBB kit from JDS Labs.  I really only bought it for one reason and that's that I'm the kind of guy who needs to stay busy and likes hobby projects.   I figured a CMOY would keep me occupied for a day or two and quite frankly I thought it was pretty cool.  A headphone amp...

I had hd448 that got broken :\ I currently have in ear vsonic gr07 and I like the sound but I still have lack of bass, especialy the low range. on ebay the shipping for my country is around 40$ for most of the items. so my budget is around 100$ and I would like to get recommendation for 60...

Hi guys.. I wanna upgrade from a Sony v6 studio monitor headphones. The sonys serve me well for playing software pianos using my digital piano + computer , but the sibilance issues and exaggerated heights are getting to me. Currently trying to "burn them in" hoping that it would tame them...

Sorry, tried this thread in the help/recommendations forum but no response in 4+ hours and this is a somewhat time-sensitive concern.   Hey guys. Long time no post. I'm back to ask the reliable and knowledgeable users of head-fi about headphones that would be best suited for monitoring audio...

I really like the 280s bought today, though I just wish it had a few decibels less deep bass (the headroom chart shows it has a hump from 20-50Hz).   Any pairs, particularly Sennheiser, out there with a very similar but with slightly less deep bass? Also, anything around $100 or less.

I am after a set of headphones for the commute after I was told not to use IEM's by the doc (after an ear infection). I listen to mostly rock/blues some metal and some random stuff like Steam Powered Giraffe. ;)   I posted in this forum as I'm pretty much after an over ear set, though will...

After purchasing a pair of Senal SMH-500, I found the ear pads (cushions) were a bit snug for my comfort.    Initially, I thought about buying a pair of Senal Extra Deep Ear Pads listed at BHPhoto . . . but they sell for $25 shipped and that was TOO pricey IMO - particularly when the velour...

I'm getting back into producing and miss my old cans (Audio Technica M40fs).  I liked them a lot - comfy, pretty flat & with a little bass.  I could get them again but I'd like something more portable (which is code for easily hidden from from young children).  I'm just not sure if there is...

Hello everybody, it's my first time posting in this forum. I'm looking for the best headphones I can buy for under 50$ to replace my broken HD 202s. I'll mostly use them to listen to music (classic rock mostly but also classical and pop) and movies on my desktop or laptop and I'm a bit of a...

So I'm interested in hearing from other folks re) that set of headphones that occupies a special place in your equipment inventory. You know...the cans that you just can't bring yourself to sell (or for that matter pitch!!) because it would be like putting your dog to sleep. For me, it's the...

So far up on till couple of days ago...I thought that my AKG's were kinda on the bright side(or whatever might be the term for what I see as a little obnoxious), but as said couple of days ago got Sony MDR-V6 and they both seem to have this overwhelming feeling of too much sound, "interlacing"...

Hey guys,   Almost 3 years ago I asked for you knowledge to recommend me a headphone, and I eventually got the Sony MDR-XD200. Now it's time for me to update my headphone again, and I need your help :P   My main issue with it is that with time the cable took some damage (it isn't broken...

I don't know much about closed cans.....I need a closed can that is easy to amp and good for rock....must be under $100   Need this for a gift by June 15th.   Thanks for any input

So my HD205s needed new earpads. Can't sell these for more than $10 and  I wasn't about ready to send a letter to Germany to request those crappy pleather earpads of pain. I wanted velour and I wanted to MOD!  I heard a lot of people put DT 250 pads on their MDR-V6s to improve comfort and keep a...

i'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this so i'll delete/move it if it isn't   anyway about an hour ago the sound from these mdr-v6s became incredibly distorted and quiet and after a couple minutes i figured there must be a short in the cord because when i pull/press the affected...

Hi guys. I've been a professional lurker here for years. Just about 2 years ago I bought my first pair of decent headphones, the Sony MDR-V6. I still have them and I love them, and learnt more about what I want in a pair of headphones since I got them but I still have much to learn.  ...

For example, if you put ear pads with harder material on headphones, could it possibly cause bouncing the frequencies in the cup, making the sound muddy? (I've heard when a headphone measures ringing in the impulse response, the headphones usually have  poor soundstage).   The thing is, I...

Hi Guys,   My budget is $100.   I only want a pair of headphones.  I do not want to get into DAC's or Amplifiers or any add-ons.   I will be listening to High bit rate MP3's or WAV's from CD's.  I will be listening on a computer with a Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium fatality sound card     or...

All suggestions welcome guys :)

I am a singer, and want a headset to train my voice, record and listen too. What is the best use of these to test voice, vocal training, listening, vocal recording Sony MDR-V6, Sony MDR-7506, ATH-M35, ATH-M40fs, AKG K121 and Shure SHR440 .... and which is better in general. Which has the best...

And compared to the Sony MDR-V6's I regularly use, I just don't see what's so special about the M50's. I've been comparing both headphones for the past few days, trying to seek out a justification on why the M50's sound better, but I just can't. I've been using the V6's daily for the past year...

For the past 4 years or so I've been using Sony MDR-V6 for casual listening, with great enjoyment. They're my first pair of quality headphones, and I do enjoy their sound.   But I'm ready to start moving (a little) up the headphone ladder. I'd like to buy another set of headphones, something...
