I doubt anybody's tried the 497s, as I think they're just becoming available from Headroom. The Beyer 250-80s have been described as basically a more musical V6, you might give them a try.

Also try Grado SR-80's and Alessandro Music Series 1's...

But aren't you gonna get Ety ER6's??

... i find the beyer to be too bulky and heavy for a girl's head

while, the philips 910... seems ok?

too many options

but if you want to find the same kind of purpose (studio monitor) style of can of the v6
it'll be hard to find


The v6 is quite flatt, with very deep bass responce but had a amplified high-mid range for analitical (detailed) listening for flaws...


To find another can for that purpose is not very easy

I'd say maybe some of the beyers, will suit your purpose just fine
however... to get the same analitical midrange
you may have to have to eq them somehow

Eh? Have you tried the Beyers on? According to Jan Meier's website, the Beyers weigh 240 g., while Jan estimates the weight of the 910s at 270 g. in that other thread of his talking about them. So the Phillips headphones would weigh at least as much, if not more, than the Beyers.

Admit it, you just want the 910 because they look cool!

My girlfriend has a very little head and she likes the 250-80s, it took her a while to get used to them (vs cheapie lightweight headphones) but she doesn't mind them at all now

In fact, the 250-80s that I use are actually hers
