What application are you going to be using these in?

When I listen to music, it's at home. The only thing on in my room is the AC, and two fans.


I have NO problem hearing my music. In fact, I can't hear either fans, or even when someone comes in to talk to me, unless they're right in front of me. They do pretty well sealing out sounds, but it depends on where you're going to be using them. On a bus, plane, subway etc.

Mainly at the house, but i will also be listening to them at school in the lunch room. Keep in mind i listen to my music loud.. They dont have to be the best at sealing out sound, but when i have them cranked up, i dont want to hear people talking.

Update.. Before i made this thread, I had my mind set on ordering the v6s. Since I havent gotten my new check card yet from the bank, I sent my aunt the link for the headphones i was looking at, so she could order them with her credit card once i decided on what i wanted.. Well today i call her back to tell her about the mind change in headphones, not knowing that she already ordered the v6s.. So the v6s are ordered, and on their way, which is fine with me. Hopefully they sound good with the new sony mp3 player i got

Give me a minute. EDIT: Headband is about 7" long, and 4" at the widest point. (I just used the ruler as a reference point. It's not properly aligned.)

Yes, the SA5000 are in the same league as the 650's & 701's..But balanced, the 650's are a tier above it IMO..Even though the SA5000 scale nicely balanced.. I actually prefered my balanced SA5000 over my 650's single ended.
