I'm interested in these headphones from Sony to use with my portable MD player. I'd like to know what the general consensus is on these phones from Sony:

MDR-V6
MDR-V600
MDR-V500DJ
MDR-V7506


I'd prefer the folding design, and a coiled cord, but if that comes at the price of ****ty sound, then I can do without.

Thanks.

V6 = *****
V600 = **
V500 = *
7506 = **** (only losing one mark because they're the same as the V6, but cost $40 more)

That is as brief as I can make it, although I daresay a whole can of worms about how bad the DJ line up is will ensue

From the posts that I've read, the MDR-V6 and MDR-7506 are the same thing. I really can't comment on the sound, but form what I've heard its supposed to be good.

I dont think you should bother with MDR-V600 and MDR-V500DJ.
General consensus is that the DJ series of Sony headphones are overpriced and terrible.

BTW I like your avatar

man duncan it seems you posted right before I did...I'm a slow typist

MDR-V6 = MDR-7506 - $50

And both of the above >> (much better than) MDR-V600 or MDR-V500DJ

I use the 7506's very often with my Sony MD player, sounds great

I use the V6 for portable use. Works very well -- easily driven (no amp required), decent isolation, durable, and foldable.

Check shopping.yahoo.com for prices. It's a bit harder to find them now than when I bought my pair a few months ago, but you should be able to get a good price online.

THE Vx000DJ SERIES [size=medium]SUCK, BLOW, AND OTHERWISE PERFORM ACTIONS NOT SUITABLE FOR MENTION IN THESE FORUMS.[/size]

The V6/7506 are quite nice; good studio monitors.

ROFL!

The [size=medium]V###DJ[/size] series have NO practical deep bass - that bass response drops rapidly below 60Hz!

I have the V6 and use them constantly. I'm using them right now. I use them on my computer and with my iRiver ChromeX. They sound perfect on my PC, but on my ChromeX PCDP the bass is a bit too quiet and I don't think that you can change the EQ of presets and I'm not experienced enough to set the EQ myself. I know it's just the preset though since the bass is definately there with with the Ultra bass preset.

Sounds like the V6 is the most reccomended...

Retailers that I've dealt with don't sell Sony (Headroom, Meier-Audio)...

Where can I get a set on the cheap?

Any ideas on the best place to get a pair of V6's?

Etronics hasn't received new stock in quite some time. Try here instead.
