Another vote for the Sony V6 (aka MDR-7506) (NOT to be confused with the craptacular V600). They're suppost to have big bass and be great for gaming, plus you don't need a dedicated headphone amp to drive them (like you would with the HD570's which require a $150+ amp to really sound half-way decent).

That pretty much describes the Sony V6.

Nice, so much response...

Someone knows how the MDR-7506 perform against the MDR-CD780 ???

The CD780 have more soundstage, but are have less detail in the highs and midrange. When you said "bouncy bass" I thought of the V6 right away, the 780 has good low bass, but I'd never call it bouncy.

Thanks, think I go with the MDR-7506 then !!!

If you can get the HD570 for $50 or so, that is about what I feel they're worth, but they really need an amp to show what they're capable of. The Grado SR60, Senn HD280, and Sony V6 are all better though IMO.

They're the same as the V6's! Why pay an extra $20?

 

[CMacDaddy]

a little late maybe, but i've directly compared the 780s and the V6, and the only thing I found to be better on the 780s was the comfort...

SR60. Musical, with plenty of bass and good resolution and clarity.

i have HD570s, i like them. but you can probably find better in the price range. i dont have anythign to compare with. im getting an amp in the near future for mine. so ill be able to comment on the difference for the future.
