Hi, I am mainly considering those 4 headphones as what to get next, the Senn HD448 and the 3 Sony's and wanted some recommendations and advice. This is strictly for home listening either directly from DAP or using the headphone of my Onkyo receiver. I listen to a wide variety of music but mainly vocalists like Bocelli, Groban, some instrumentals, and some classic rock like Boston, AC/DC and other pop music but no rap or electronic music. Comfort is probably my main concern(I wear glasses) along with sound quality. I was planning to get the MDR-V6 but it seems out of stock most places and am not sure if more are coming. I was not sure if all the other choices were inferior to the V6 though anyway. I initially did not have XB500 on my list as I would not say I am really a heavy bass type but I have read several posts recently where people said the sound quality of XB500 was great especially with just a little eq. I would like to stay in the roughly 50-70 range that these seem to be in. Another I may get is the Grado SR60i and though slightly more expensive do you think the sound quality of that is much better than all of these? Lastly I just saw the Sony MDR-V600 which is on sale for $70 and seems available. Is that very similar to the V6 and should I definitely consider that as well. If there are any others in this general price range that you think would be better than these and especially that have great comfort I would like to know those as well. Thanks in advance.
