Today i spotted a used Sony mdr-7506 at the used electronics market in Peru, i usually have luck with the prices there, this time it had an only reasonable price (is it?) $54 us dollars; i am trying to cover the bases that my grado sr80 doesnt: soundstage, isolation and portability; how good are this cans in that regard and also how good are them for classical music?

I would have tried this but i was in kind of a hurry and the market is very noisy, not good for auditioning even if the cans isolate a bit, another factor was that i wasnt carrying my portable gear; and the seller didnt have any other audio gear at hand.

I hope if these are worthy i find them when i go back tomorrow or in a couple of days, with christmas around the corner nothing lasts a second without beign noticed.

i can also negotiate that price (i always try, so what is a good price to pay for this phones in an ok not so perfect condition?.

im probably going to wait to buy this after christmas after all... if the price goes down, excellent; if not, i figure im not losing much anyway

My sr-60s had better soundstage, and both ran equally loud out of a portable CD player. V6s are better built and more rugged but kind of big. I walked around the neighborhood once and a person mentioned that they saw me "with big ass headphones on". They could be used portably I suppose though I think there are better headphones. The highs and lows are elevated leaving a recessed midrange, so it might not be the best for classical. I thought they isolated well enough for walking around, so I'd bring a portable player and see if you like them.
