Hi all,   Brand new member here and looking for some advice on headphones to replace my nearly 20yr old Sony MDR-V600's, which are kind of beat up. I'm finding that I'm doing a lot more listening thru headphones so I'd like to upgrade the sound quality.   I listen mostly to...

I'm working with a pair of Sony MDR-v600 headphones. I want to upgrade. I've got a good budget, so that's not in question. (The quality of the headphone will decide how much I wanna spend.) One thing though... I cannot find a good stereo shop in my area that has the high end headphones I've...

So i'm thinking about buying some Altec Lansing 512 or 512iE headphones as i need something fullsized but at low cost... Would these be ok or do they suck...i did think of 201 senns but theyre too expensive...my other choice wold be some panasonic model that is about 10 bucks cheaper than the...

Whatshakin' familia? Posted a minute ago about some sony mdr-v600's that I got from an old cat, they were seriously cooked with time, the drivers were all ******* tin&treble, wicked crisp, 0 bass, I have no clue how old they are, is degradation of drivers something that results in a loss of bass...

Can't seem to find any tutorials on this online. The earpads are easy enough to replace, but I'm afraid I'm going to break something while trying to replace the headband pad.   Any suggestions on how I should go about this? Video link would be lovely.   Thanks!

Hi guys, I've been using the Sony MDR-V600 as my gaming headphones of choice for many years now. I love them.   I need to replace my most recent pair and I see that they are no longer available brand new, so I need to find a replacement model.   Is it possible for anyone recommend me...

Hi, folks.  New to the forum, longtime recordist (first real gig at Sigma Sound Studios, 1970).   I love my old Sony MDR V600s, but finally abandoned them when the ear cushions crumbled again - the third set of pads I've put on them.  Searching this time on ebay I also found and bought a...

This headphone is not new, but I really think it is under appreciated.  It's incredible for under $100 and much better than the more popular MDR-V6.  I like it so much I bought three as spares since Sony killed it.  

Hello. I'm looking for the best IEM I can get for $160.00 or so. I Listen to all kinds of music and bass is not that important. I like bass but I don't want it to overwhelme the sound. I was thinking about getting the Sony MDR-600 but would like more input. Thanks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727...

Hey all,   I'm fairly new to the audiophile world. I've been rocking a crappy headset for gaming (Razer Carcharias...man these things are horrid haha) and some old Sony MDR-V600's for music, and I just think it's time for an upgrade. I have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty...

Hello! I've been using a pair of Sony MDR-V600s for about 9 years now. I somehow managed to step on them in the middle of the night about 7 years ago and busted the plastic bits that hold one of the speakers to it. I figure it's finally time to replace them and get better sound at the same time...

Hey guys!    I got Monster Turbines in ear headphones a week ago and they just stop working.   So, I have decided to try out some full size headphones, but I have no idea what to get.   My price limit is $100   I want headphones with sound equal to the turbines(I like bass). I am...

Some days ago I ordered a Sony MDR-v600 for $67 just for casual listening to music and watching movies on my laptop. I had read a lot of good reviews of it so I went ahead and ordered it. After digging through more reviews and coming across Head-Fi I noticed that everyone here really disliked...

I WILL BE USING THESE FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION ON A PC RUNNING THROUGH AN AVERAGE AMP (100W PER CHANNEL) AND A EQ,, HEADPHONES WILL BE CONNECTED TO THE AMP   CAN GET THE SONYS V6 FOR 65 ISH AND THE SENNS 555 ARE 75 POUNDS BUT ARE GRADE C WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE BEEN REFURBISHED BY THE MANUFACTURER...

Guys, here is the thing:   I've been reading Head-Fi for a few weeks now, but the many threads I have read don't seem to solve all my problems.   I'm not much of an audiophile, but I'm entering this world. Still pretty new in business, but I'm trying to grow.   First of all, I'm...

Here is my unbiased option after extensive A/B testing of these headphones without using EQ while listening to rock (from America to Zepplin, Radiohead to RAtM etc.) Sony MDR-V600 -more comfortable (head-band has more curve so doesn't press down on the top of the head, bigger padding) -more...

Hey all,    Ill try to keep this short, but as a short introduction, Im trying to find some good started full size (portable or non) where I can get a better judge as to what Im looking for in a headphone. While the descriptions and headphone terminology are helpful, reading about and...

Soundstage, Techno/House/Dubstep, and Hard Rock and Metal? ( I mean 3 different headphones, not one for all three.)   I've been reading that the HARX900's and V600's are pretty good for electronic stuff, and the AD-700's seem good for soundstage.

Hey all,   I'm a total newb here, and I apologize for posting to head-fi without much contribution.  I know there are lots of reviews out there of these different headphones, but I wanted more information about these phones in relation to each other (the ones I've listed at the bottom).  I...

Over the weekend I picked up a brand new condition SR60 not the SR60i. The more I listen to it, the more I am liking the Grado sound compared to my GMP 435S. I am new to this scene having only used the MDR V600 since 2002 which my friend destroyed recently, I picked up the 435S a couple of...
