Right now I'm using Sony MDR-V6s w/ Beyerdynamic cushions; I really like them but I'm looking to upgrade to something a little better; preferably under or around $100 with more bass than the V6s.  I use the headphones for mostly music and some gaming.    Initially I was thinking of going...

Timbaland is known to create "creations" thru headphones below is some video clips of Timbaland wearing headphones can you indentify them? YouTube - Jay Z and Timbaland In the Studio starts: 00:00 / ends: 00:26 YouTube - Timbaland (The Diary of Timbaland) Pt.1 starts: 02:05 / ends...

IMO, synergy is more important than the model you buy. For example, my Denon AH-D7000 sounds great with my Bellari HA540 tube amp (upgraded to Mullard 12AX7 tube), but my Sony MDR-7506 sounds like crap with that amp. The Sony MDR-7506 sounds BEST through the headphone out on my Sony CDP-XA7es CD...

I have a pair of MDR-V300 headphones and want to upgrade. What do you guys think?   I've been looking at these http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR7506-Professional-Diaphragm-Headphone/dp/B000AJIF4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1289524752&sr=1-1

  Using an amp is NOT always an improvement. Am I crazy?  I just sat down and gave my newly purchased Sony MDR-SA5000 a listen.  I ran it non stop for over 24 hours with my Bellari HA540 tube amp.  This amp sounds GREAT with my Denon AH-D7000 and it was a nice improvement over using the CD...

these cans have always bothered me with the spiked upper-mids, weird soundstage, and recessed upper-mid bass.  I was about ready to sell them, but figured: hey, one more try...   So I opened 'em up, looked inside to see what i could possibly do do affect the sound in a positive way, and...

Hello everybody,   I'm new to the forum, and like most people around I'm trying to find headphones that would be suitable for my needs.  After reading many threads here and on other forums, I decided to register on here and post my personal help request as I couldn't find the answer to it...

I didnt get much of a result from a forum search on this topic so I'll just say ask it: I know many of you argue that they are almost no differences between the V6's and the 7506's. However, I recently did a search and came up with both can's specs, seems like the 7506 are higher up in the...

Just wanted to share with everyone pictures of my real Sony MDR-7506 that I bought many years ago.  Everything is original, but I don't have the box.  Hope the large pictures will help you decide if you have the real thing or a fake.       The "R" & "L" bubble is sharp.  The number...

A couple of weeks ago I bought MDR-CD900ST, a kind of tweaked version of MDR-7506, but has some significant difference. CD900ST, the most popular monitor headphone in music studios in Japan and other countries, is designed by Sony and Sony Music Entertainment(SME), sold by SME through some...

A couple of questions regarding these Sony headphones: Is there actually any known difference between the MDR-7506 and the much more common MDR-V6? The information I'm able to find on the Internet seems pretty unreliable, and mostly written by people who report not having listened to either...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice on some headphones. I can't choose between these five headphones: -Audio Technica ATH-A700 Headphones -Audio Technica ATH-AD700 -Sony MDR7506 -Sennheiser HD-280 -Sennheiser HD555 I'm also wondering if it's worth putting in 50 more bucks and...

Sennheiser HD 238 vs PX200 II vs AKG K 450 vs Sony MDR-7506 review   Noob here. Ive been a loudspeaker audiophile for 18 years, but not a headphone expert. I know sound, but not necessarily coming from cans. Ill do my best to quickly contribute since the head-fi community has helped me out...

    So around a year ago, I came to these forums looking for a good set of portable headphones. the ATH-ES7's were recommended to me and I am very happy with their sound quality. One of the issues I have with the headphones is that they are uncomfortable to wear for even short periods of...

After quite a while of daily cheerful service, my Panasonic RP-HTX7's are on the verge of dying. Whenever I wiggle the cable even a little, the sound changes and I lose most of the frequencies.   With that being said, I felt it necessary to come back to the forums after some time away and...

Hello there! this looks like the most reliable forum about hi-fi headphones on the internets, so i'm asking you! I owed a pair of (lame) wesc plastics, and Technics rp-f290 (wich i loved and used till they melted)   I'm looking for a good pair of over-ear, 50-150€ range, durable (and...

I'm getting into making electronic music and I want to use headphones for my primary mixing and stuff (since I can't afford good monitors). What will get me the most accurate sound for the price? I do plan on using them for listening too, though. Comfort is a huge issue too. How about HD555s?

Hi all,   I have a pair of Sony MDR-7506s that I used for just a few months until the plug got slightly bent. I've yet to have it repaired, an am exploring some other options. The Audio Technica M-50 seems to be the perfect headphone for my needs, but I just want to be completely sure.   ...

After lurking for a while, I am putting down my first post here on head-fi. Help me out if I am breaking any head-fi etiquette (ect) here.   Anyways, after researching on the best combination of full size and in ear headphones under $160, I just bought the Head Direct RE0 and the Sony...

I just started getting into all this audiophile stuff and I'm a noob with anything to do with amps and DACs. Right now i just use my laptop and ipod to play music. (mainly my laptop) Im wondering what is a good entry level amp to get for my SRH 440 and MDR 7506 just for casual listening and...
