What is the most practical all-purpose use headphone?
My vote goes firmly to the MDR-7506. Does anyone think otherwise and why?

Define practical.

Define practical? Uh, OK.
Headphones that can be used from the widest sources and is the most practical to use under all conditions (high/low ambient noise, necessity to avoid sound leaking, long-term use, travelling / fixed).
With the above conditions, I voted for the MDR-7506 because it works from virtually anything and sounds pretty good, it's strong, comfortable and durable, it's fully closed, it's rebuildable, it has a unimatch plug, it folds into a small package and comes with a bag.

I would say adding the Beyer pads to the V6 makes them even more practical (though I've never heard the V6).

The Koss KSC35 is a "practical" headphone. It would be more practical if it were closed though.

I think the default pads that came along with the v6/7506 is pretty comfortable, although Im also waiting to get my beyer pads.
