Summary: the best cans you can get for a hundred bucks
Review: I've tried quite a number of headphones in the $75 to $150 price range and these are hands down the best. Extremely comfortable, great natural sound, rock solid contstruction, and they're flat enough you can sleep with them on.
I can't say how they compare with the very top end Grado's or Senn's, but for the price they can't be beat. They can't quite keep up with some of the $500 in-canal earbuds out there, but they're significantly better headphones than the comparibly priced KOSS or Sennheiser models (the UR-35 and HD-570).
Sure, they're are other headphones out there, but for general purpose use (listening to the beatles on your iPod) these cans are pretty much perfect. And you gotta love the retro-80s style.

Summary: Good!
Review: Ok, this is a fine set of cans. It is excellent for rock any others, because it can go so high. if you are a dj or something i don't think this offer a good amount of punch. I've listened to the v700 and they are of courese better bass pounding experiment, but sound a lot louder. THis is a great headphones for people who would want natural sounds. when i plug this into my keyboard it's sounds so much better than my other headphones. sometime I think this goes up in the treable way too high, and not engouh bass to back it up because i love dance music with requires lots of bass. But the bass aren't horrable.

Summary: This classic continues to satisfy
Review: The MDR-V6 has had a long production run and I have owned three pairs over 15 years. The first was stolen after I only owned it for a year, around 1989, and I immediately replaced it. This second pair has been durable and I continue to use them now (2004). I bought the last pair recently as a backup but I now use it at my office.What strikes me about these headphones is that they are easily the most useful audio accessory I own. I have used it with my stereo (vinyl/tape/CD), with many computers (CD/DVD/MP3), on the airplane, and with other devices such as a DV camera and of course, the iPod. While other full-sized headphones I have tried have certainly sounded good--even better in some ways--none have the versatility of the folding design coupled with great audio quality. My music taste varies widely and I have found these headphones to reproduce orchestral or jazz acoustic instruments and still be happy listening to the bass drive of overproduced techno or rock. The pads wear out by splitting, cracking, and flattening over time, making the headphones uncomfortable. Worn out pads reduce bass response, perhaps due to a poor seal, as I was able to tell from a head-to-head comparison between my old and new pairs. Today, I just replaced the old pads with a new set from Sony (under $20 incl. tax + ship) and now both pairs sound virtually identical. I figure five years on a pair is a good life. Other minor wear from over a dozen years of use: the compression from the headband needs refreshing with a squeeze, and the vinyl (NOT leather) case is slightly scratched. All other parts have aged incredibly well despite daily use and travel. I find little to fault, but here are my objections: the sealed headphones make my ears warm after an hour or two. The UniMatch plug is easy to lose; the case has no special place for it. The plug is straight, instead of a more durable L-shaped design; I have been careful to not bend it. In one office environment, the headphones would transmit electrostatic shocks when I rolled my chair on the floor. The cord length is perfect for the desk but a little long when I'm listening to a device and walking. The headphones are portable, but too big to be the pair of headphones I carry everywhere, so I keep a tiny pair of in-ear headphones for that. Lastly, (but least importantly) they say nothing about today's headphone fashion. Few electronics products are perfect, including this one. But every once in a while a gem like this comes along, a nearly perfect compromise of value, sound quality, portability, and durability (or at least serviceability).

Summary: My favorite headphones
Review: The Sony MDR-V6s were the first really good headphones I owned. After about 15 years of use, the foam padding was a bit run down. After doing the exhaustive search for the best headphones, I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD580s (I also own Etymotic ER-4Ps). Comparing the HD580 to my MDR-V6s, I would say that the MDR-V6s are better for two reasons. 1. The MDR-V6s are more comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and 2. The MDR-V6s have a telephone-like cord, which is easier to deal with than the straight HD580 cord. The sound quality was very good on both headphones, and about equal. I ended up buying new foam pads for my 15-year-old MDR-V6s, which made them feel like brand new headphones. I also bought a second pair of MDR-V6s, and shelved the HD580s for now. Do not buy the MDR-600s by mistake. I have never used them, but I have read numerous reviews that state that the MDR-600s are inferior to the MDR-V6s. You can still buy the MDR-V6s, but they are harder to find. I bought mine at millionbuy because Amazon did not have them in stock. For some reason, the MDR-V6 product name at Amazon magically changed to MDR-600, even though it is an entirely different product. I am not sure why this happened. The audioreview Web site has a great collection of headphone reviews.

Summary: Sony MDR-V6
Review: These are excellent headphones. They are comfortable and have great bass. The only drawback is that the foam earpads deteriorate over time; you can purchase replacement pads through Sony.

Summary: These headphones block out the phone and noisy little people
Review: These are great. The quality of sound is great and because you can't hear other noises, these headphones can take you away...into the song, into your thoughts and memories. Like most mommy's I adore my little cuties...but it is nice to take a break and listen to my music, practice Spanish or whatever without hearing every peep that they make. However, you do have to keep them in your sight. Have you ever seen a fight between a 3 & 6 ? Well it is a lot better than hearing it! You know that commercial, Calgon take me away...well, I say headphones (and Marvin Gaye or Beethoven) take me away...!

Summary: Best Sealed Headphones
Review: This is the best headphone for doing critical audio editing and studio work. The sealed type headphone reduces distracting room noise and prevents feedback into microphones, which also makes it tops for radio. The sound image is very close, bringing out details in music without coloration. The spectrum is very wide, and people accustomed to open air phones will probably be surprised at how much more can be heard. They are solidly constructed, and do not have the plastic feel of other models. They are light and comfortable for this class of performance.

Summary: Best in its Class!
Review: Whoa! I never thought Sony still makes these! I've got mine in '89 and my puppy chewed on it in '99 and can't find a replacement at any store in my area. This is one of Sony's best products in its class (price/model). I bought several headphones, excluding Sennheiser, of course...and never got the same frequency response. I miss the clear and crisp highs and the not too mushy bass. It's great for portables, too, since the new models have X-Bass for deeper response. However, yes..those darn earfoams rot away. At first I thought my ears were acidic! Then I read a review on it and noted those earfoams as a con. Amazon...stock 'em up....PLEASE! Gotta buy 3 this time! :)
