I had bee planning to get the pads for my v6 for months; I finally ordered them the other day after reading this thread. Too bad I didn' have them during last weeks heat wave: the pleather plads do make your ears very sweaty...

Hey RedWoood, You can order the pads over the phone at: 1-800-293-4463 Just ask for the velour pads for the DT-250. They cost $17 + $5 shipping.

And make sure to ask for the velour ones, as the DT-250 pads also come in pleather.

And, by the way, welcome to Head-Fi, AtEase. Hope you get a chance to post a lot. Almost anyone who also likes V6's is okay by me!

When I talked to them on the phone they specifically asked me which type I wanted.

Oh, and thanks Jude. I'm actually a long time lurker; It was a post you made (I think) on the headwize boards months ago about how great the gladiator soundtrack sounded on the v6 that convinced me to get a pair. (great purchase btw)

Phew! That's a funny thing -- sometimes it's easier to say you don't like something than to say you do. Because if someone ever buys something that you think sounds fantastic, but they think sounds like crap, you feel a bit bad -- and this can happen very easily in audio.

Anyway, I'm glad you ended up liking them. They're still among my very favorite headphones.

i need your opinion guys....

should i get the Sony V6 with beyer pads now and have it ready for LAN...or struggle to find the Beyer DT250-80 and have it to me by Friday...


can anyone tell if the V6s are durable? will they last me awhile...i dont want some headphones that will break in a couple of months...

 

[r3cc0s]

meh your preference

V6 is a very portable functional can
and I love it with the pads
it's excellent




Beyer need more power to drive it than the V6

The V6s are KNOWN for their durability! I have a pair and I can tell you that these are built like a TANK! These will last you for many years, if not decades.

well everyone should probably know already im a big n00b with headphones and stuff...

so after you get the pads, how do u swap it with the stock ones?
is it complicated?

 

[r3cc0s]

again tons of threads with this topic


but here goes

you take off the old pads
one at a time,
just peal them from the cans, as they are just fitted like a pair of socks kinda....


then rip the foamy inner part of the origional pads

then align them up with they beyer pads
and put them back on, (harder than putting on a condom though), and re-align the foamy inner part if it didn't go in straight

very simple

 

[r3cc0s]

wait a second
this is a super old thread brought back to life

WOW

I agree!

Jude, can you somehow fix these links (unless the site wasn't
yours)? I'd like to see these pictures.

Thanks

We are obsessed.

Beyer DT 250 pads give more bass to the V6/7506. So if you think the V6 has enough bass don't do the change if u feel that the V6 lacks bass go buy a pairof pads. As usual YMMV & IMHO etc.
