Well, in the true spirit of audio, i would suggest getting a different pair of phones to compare for yourself, but if you have already had the sonys and liked them then it is your call. Whenever I have a card that I dont like, find someone that is buying something that is like 150$ and tell them you will sell them the card for 125$ or something, that way you are both happy.

You really should look at some Grado's. I know you liked the Sony's & seem pretty sure that is what you want, but if you haven't ever heard anything better, you may not know what you are missing. I haven't heard the Sony's - so I can't compare them - but generally speaking I can say that I didn't know what I was missing till I tried some different cans.

well, i read some Grado reviews over at headphonereview that is stickyed on the top of the page and i was kinda disspaointed in what iw as reading...i dont want to spend more then 100 really and the ones i was reading up on the SR60 seemed like everyone thought they had to be modded or were ok, but nothing compared to ____.
the reason i have sorta decided on the MDR V6 was they are only like $65 on amazon...

1) no Bose
2) you did not mentioned the purpose: home or portable
3) I find V6 as a good choice for both purposes. I have MDR7506 - almost the same as V6 - and I am very satisfied with them. They just need to replace the earpads for DT250 leather ones.

Rather than waste time buying the TriPorts and then selling them on eBay, you can just sell your GC there. The closing price is usually just pennies below the face value. You'll still have PayPal and ebay fees but it'll save you some trouble.
