Summary: Directly comparable to Sony 7506
Review: These headphones are almost indistinguishable from the Sony 7506 model, which may well be the most popular headphones in American recording studios. I have both. I think the V600s are lighter weight, so a little more comfy for long sessions, or wearing all day in an office or something.The cord attached to only one side is great. The phones "seal up" really well, with a true closed-back design. If you squeeze the cups shut together, you can just barely hear them, even if it's cranked up to bust your eardrums. This, in spite of the fact that they are plastic. You CANNOT hear the outside world when these phones are at normal levels. When they're cranked up, somebody could be shouting in your face, and you'd think they were lip-syncing. Besides being well-sealed, and loud, these phones give a big, smooth sound that won't give you a headache or have you wondering what you're missing. As another reviewer mentioned, they're very efficient, producing a ton of volume with very little power - and it's volume you can stand, unlike lesser models that will hurt your ears at similar decibel levels. If you're looking for the pro version - it's the 7506, and only available at musical/recording outlets. Here, all you have to do is click that button, and soon you'll be listening to headphones that I'd buy again and again if I lost or destroyed them...

Summary: Great for just about everything
Review: These headphones are terrific. I use them all the time for listening to music and watching movies. I have had them for a few years now, and they still work just as good as the day i bought them. They have a nice long cord, so you don't have to sit close to your receiver or dvd player. If you are looking for a set of headphones, these are one of the best for its price range.

Summary: Decent but Not Flawless
Review: These headphones produce good sound and are comfortable for long stints (12-hour paper-wrting marathons, anyone?). However, two things bother me about them. First of all, they produce a lot of static when not playing anything -- since this static does not come out of my Klipsch ProMedia 5.1s, I have to attribute it to the headphone electronics. And secondly, although I have only had them for a bit more than a year, the right earpad is already coming apart, which gives me doubts about long-term durability. A lesser problem is that they are hard to transport because of their size, but they keep out plane noise so well that I can't really complain that much. Overall, I give them an A- for sound quality, an A+ for comfort, and a C for durability.

Summary: Great Sound
Review: This is an excellent pair of headphones. They're extremely comfortable and produce great sound. I could wear them all day. I'm just a guy who likes to listen to his music and for me they're great. You'll hear things you never did before in your music and probably grow to be annoyed with any MP3 collection you have. Unless they're ripped well you'll hear pops and hissing very often. Be forewarned. It's not the headphones. It's your crappy MP3 files. ;)

Summary: Re-define your music experience
Review: With an extensive collection of music CDs, why did I ever trust my favorite tunes to a cheap pair of mediocre headphones? Well, no more. I recently upgraded to Sony MDR-V600 headphones. For what seems like the first time ever, I am able to distinguish the faintest melodies of individual instruments within my most beloved songs. Songs I have heard hundreds of times sound like new with these headphones. For someone who depends almost exclusively on headphones for listening to music, the Sony MDR-V600 headphones are an absolute necessity. They are solid and well constructed, but not heavy. The headband and earcups are generously padded with a soft, smooth synthetic material (durable enough for frequent use, but not rugged). The fit is snug, not tight (and this from someone who has trouble finding baseball caps that fit). The earcups cover your ears and effectively filter out most background noise (leaving just you and your music). The cord extends from the left earcup only (much better than a Y cord) and is conveniently coiled, so it stretches when needed without dangling loosely about (unlike a straight cord which ends up stepped on or snagged most of the time). As a bonus, the headphones collapse (with the headband wrapped around the earcups) and fit into a small synthetic pouch (included) for added portability. Overall, the Sony MDR-V600 headphones are an outstanding value offering a balance of performance and price - a smart buy for any music enthusiast on a modest budget.

Summary: Lightweight, but shallow ear cups
Review: Without commenting more on the sound, which plenty of people have already done (sounds very good to me, be that as it may), note that the ear cups on these headphones are quite shallow. The encircling pads are about 2cm of foam, and the driver cone is recessed about 1cm on the rear edge, 5mm on the front. If your ears stick out more than average from your head like mine, this can be uncomfortable.
