Actually, they still are popular studio monitors.....it's the recording industry that is keeping them in production (certainly not consumers.....who haven't seen the MDR-V6s at your local Circuit City for 15 years). IMHO, they're pretty well balanced....good reference cans....not particularly "fun"

So THAT'S why recordings nowadays sound so bad

...(only kidding)

On the contrary, I find them horribly misbalanced with a bloated midbass, and very offensive upper midrange. They are comfortable, though
