Well, after ranting a bunch at this post on this trance forum

http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/s...932#post150932

it seems that I have a convert (YAY!)! We have a person who actually wants to replace his *ahem* Sennheiser HD200's with a better set of phones, namely, the Sony MDR-V6. Unfortunately, this dude kinda lives in New Zealand, and he, uh, doesn't have a credit card.

Guys, I'm like, overflowing with empathy and pity for this dude! We gotta help him! Is there ANY way to get a decent set of recording/mixing headphones in New Zealand at a decent price? Maybe there's an online store that accepts that ships there for cheap, and accepts payment other than credit cards? We gotta help him!

Hey Gluegun

Have just checked the sony.co.nz site and unfortunately the V6 is NOT available in NZ, along with most of SONY's best products. I had to mail-order my CD1700s from the UK 'cos they weren't available here. Without a credit card he has a problem, but otherwise ordering the phones from the UK is probably the best idea as the VAT deduction should cover the post of postage. The other option is you could check some NZ sites for what's available here and advise him based on that....

I did a quick web search and it looks as though no-one in NZ does Beyer!!

Good luck

Well, what sort of places in Britain can do mail orders, and can use a type of payment alternative to credit cards?

Slightly problematic...

Here in the UK we don't actually have either the V6, or the 7506... Sorry... We might still have a pair or two of MDR-CD1700s left at Ask Electronics (they have a website, but... I can't find it) but... no promises

Okay, what other countries would be ideal, then?

Isn't there a Japanese version of the V6, with a different name?

Uh, guys, I asked for the V6's for a REASON. He needs a set of cans to MIX TRANCE AND TECHNO with...and the V6's are unbeat for it....

i live in australia, they dont have the v6s in the aussie site.. but they do have the 7506s.. so i got a 7506.. they have that in nz?

 

[Gluegun]

Where, EXACTLY did you get the 7506's?

 

[becomethemould]

musiclab in brisbane, queensland, australia hehe

www.musiclab.com.au, they have the 7506s marked as 250 i think, said they would give it to me for 200, then i said i saw it on the net, advertised for them at 195.. said i was a pain but they let me save $5=)
