LOL, I only have this digital camera for a short time, so I'm going digital camera crazy

I thought I'd post pictures of the famous "hybrid" V7506s. For those who weren't around for the discussion on HeadWize some time ago, these used to belong to Flumpus. When he bought them, they came with one V6 earpiece and one 7506 earpiece (brand new, out of the box), "proving," if you will, that the MDR-V6 and MDR-7506 are *exactly* the same headphones save the gold miniplug on the 7506.


Full view (with Beyer pads -- HIGHLY recommended):

Left earpiece, Sony MDR-V6:

Right earpiece, Sony MDR-7506:

nice pics, make sure to take pics of every thing you have

 

[MacDEF]

Yeah, I was telling the gf that one good thing about all these pictures is that I can keep them for insurance purposes

MacDEF, those Sonys look more "classy" with those pads. I noticed that your pads are black. I'm curious to know if they make them in different colors because I saw pictures of 7506/V6's with brownish or greyish Beyer pads. Maybe it was a bad picture.

Cool pics. It is true, those pads give it a much classier look to those cans.

MacDef, great pics! I'm still trying to figure out how to do that.....just have the pictures pop up! Damn!

artmusic247, my velour pads were black until I started using the V6s when I mowed the lawn. I discovered that sweat makes them turn a slightly brownish/grey color. I guess MacDef doesn't sweat.

artmusic:

When I ordered mine, they only came in black. Maybe Joe's right and it's the sweat. Joe: not a lot of days where we sweat indoors here in the Bay Area

art, sackley, I agree that the velour pads make them look like a much more expensive set of headphons.

Joe: to make the pictures pop-up, just click on the "IMG" button in the reply screen, and paste the URL for the image -- then the picture will just show up.

I don't know the Sony V6, and I only know the 80 Ohm version of the Beyer DT 250 (the 250 Ohm version is supposedly better), but I am just curious: Has anyone thought of buying the phone that comes with the Beyer pads? Has anyone compared them?

These are more pics of the Beyer velour pads on the MDR-V6. I hyperlinked these as they're a bit big.

Ommigosh, I just posted a bunch of pics of headphone pads. We are obsessed.

we?

Jude, I just realized that you must have taken the cloth "cover" from the stock pads and used them with the Beyer pads. I just used the Beyer pads, so the drivers on mine are exposed.

I wonder if they would sound any better with the cover in? Probably a little less bright, eh?

 

[Redwoood]

Where can I get the beyer pads?
And what beyer headphone are they for?

 

[redshifter]

got any tips on how to switch out the v6 pads for the beyers? mine are ready to go.

 

[eeyssjr]

Would these Beyer pads fit the MDR-CD3000?

or what about taking the foam out even and just using the fabric in some way?

No way they'll fit, no matter how many ways you try. The CD3000s are a lot bigger and differently shaped.
