Well... I got the Beyer DT250s today (as if you hadn't guessed)... and to say i'm impressed would be an understatement... these are great little 'phones
Enough said maybe? maybe not... As good as they are (especially with vocals... Hmmmmmm
), as Magicthyse has stated, the build quality isn't stellar (especially compared to the V6, which is afterall a lot cheaper!)
Sonically, the bass of the V6 now sounds a bit TOO heavy, a bit too rumbly, and seeing that these are principally the same design of 'phones (and for the same application) i'm mystified as to why the MDR-V6 is so cold in the midrange in direct comparison to the DT250... and the treble is a lot less severe on the Beyers...
That said, if you're not a fan of rich midrange, i'd almost steer clear of the Beyers, they seem to be the exact opposite of the V6, having too much midrange information... Interesting
Soundstage wise, the Beyers win absoloutely hands down... they draw you much further into the music... almost to the point of taking the crown away from my CD1700s ~ but not quite
...and ultimately, if you want a musical pair of 'phones, and don't mind a rich midrange (which I must say sounds good to my ears), and are limited with your budget... the Beyers should most definetly be on your wish list
If you said I had to ditch one of these 'phones ~ I couldn't... both have their virtues, and both have their pitfalls... looking purely on a value basis... I think the Sonys still pip the Beyers to the post... but, if you've got extra money ~ and want a pair of headphones that'll do justice to more than just dance music, the Beyers might just be for you...
Anyone care to [dis]agree with me?
