I've been happy with my Sony MDR-V6, which I think are almost identical the the MDR-7506. $100 on headphones seems pricey if you're used to earbuds, but these sound great, travel well, and should last forever.

- msutherl 15y agoThe only difference is the magnet in the drivers as far as sound is concerned, but more importantly the 7506 has a 'pro' very long coiled cable while the V6 has a shorter, straight cable. From what I understand, the V600 is not in the same league, but you should check that at Head-Fi.
- sciurus 15y agoMy V6 has a coiled cable; it looks like the one pictured at http://media.headphone.com/productphotos/large/0020550006_5213.jpg http://media.headphone.com/productphotos/large/0020550006_52...
- msutherl 15y agoWhoops, I guess I was just wrong about that. It was the only reason I bought the 7506 over the V6, but I guess I was misinformed somewhere along the line.
- sliverstorm 15y agoI have always read that the only important difference is more bass emphasis in the V6's as compared to the 7506's, which have a very flat response.
- uriah 15y agoYou're probably thinking of the V600 which has heavier bass and swiveling earcups for DJing.
- zyeljanee 15y agoBesides brand there are some other things that one should look at like the cost and also whether headphones offer a natural means of listening. Remember ther is part of your health that you want to check.
