P7 seems more bassy and aggressive.

The H6 is a very smooth and non aggressive sounding headphone. Some may find them lacking in bass

Hope it helps

Hello Guys, 
 
Can you reccomend a good case for this? 
 
I am afraid of taking it out into the bad world without something to protect it. The hard graft case looks nice, but not spending £129.99 on a case !
 
Does anyone have any other alternatives in Europe?

Suggest you go on amazon or the like and search headphone cases.  There are several like this one...just be sure and check the dimensions quoted against your H6's and buy local if the shipping/duties look crazy.

I bought this one, recommended in post #35.  Fits just fine.

There are several kinds of H6, but Blue one is the worst of H6 I think......
The pattern of headband is terrible.....
Actually, the design of H6 is the most beautiful

I love blue and when I heard that the blue Pepsi (?) edition, I went full crazy xD

I've got a pair of H6 in the natural leather, used daily for maybe 6 months, and they look pretty gross now.

I've tried cleaning them with a soft cloth and water this afternoon, but rather than removing grime it seems to be stripping whatever the top layer is to reveal a reddish colour to the leather earpads.

It's actually making me think most of what I'm interpreting as dirt is really the naturel leather underneath. (Which makes sense as it's been an issue on the outer pad seam, which makes zero contact with anything grubby like my head, but does flex and stretch as the pads are moved around)

I'm curious if others are running into this issue?
I love using these, and just bought my girlfriend a pair of the new limited editions in dark brown + bronze, but I'm having serious issues with the "naturals".

Either I have the world's dirtiest head, or .....

You can see here what I'm talking about.
The cup on screen left is the one I've had a brief go at with some water on a cloth, notice the redish colour coming through. Also note the dirt/wear on the seam between the main pad and the outer section.

These get used heavily, but pretty much live on my head, neck, and in the baggy.. They have not, as it would appear, been living with no protection at the bottom of a 12 year old boy's gym bag.

The other thing that makes me think it isn't just dirt, is the hard divide between dirt/clean at the seam in the second image.
If it was dirt, you would expect both sides of that line to be comparably gross.. Which they aren't.

Can't view the photo for whatever reason it may be but I have no such issue on mine but I never wear them when I am sweaty/sticky nor do I put them under the sun. Have you tried contacting B&O for info? I am sure they should be able to assist you. IMO, the Singapore based B&O's GM is very helpful and friendly.

I did speak to a guy in a B&o store.
The conversation basically boiled down to: "Ahh well... I used to work at a Hermes store, and i used to have to tell people all the time that natural leather is only lasts for about one season"
 
Now this is just a random guy in a random store, not B&o corporate policy. But it's the only "official" word I've gotten so far. Which is why I'm consulting the wider headphone nerd hive-mind to see what they have been running into.
 
This definitely fall under the category of "**** that wouldn't have happened had I opted for Black or Agave Green", but less than 6 months is a little soon to be dealing with this sort of thing.

I saw a little more color changed H6 Brown color at used headphone market in Korea.
That sold only for USD 190 !!
I think this issue is certainly defect of Brown color H6..
B&O should be replace the ear pads I think.
I hope your H6 will be repaired well.
