In 1995 I first tried on a pair of Sony MDR-V6 headphones. I was working as a full-time Unix sysadmin (for co-op credit) in the at and my supervisor had a pair that he loaned me for a day. I was so impressed that I bought a pair the next day and it's still the only model of full-sized headphones that I buy. The price has come down quite a bit since then.

They can be had for less than $75 in a few stores. If you try Amazon, you'll find that they're currently not in stock (and seem not to be most of the time). A few weeks ago I ordered two more of these.

I wanted a newer pair for work and a pair for home as well. The ones I had at work were showing their nearly 10 years of age but still sounded excellent.

What's to Like?. foam padded earpieces that cover your whole ear and block out ambient noise. padded headpiece. 1/4' stereo adaptor included. excellent frequency response (the highs are clear and the lows are powerful). the size adjustment mechanism works well and holds up over time.

very long cord that never seems to lose its spring If you're in the market for a set of full-size stereo headphones, I highly recommend the Sony MDR-V6 headphones. It's a proven design that's been on the market for at least 9 years now. I'm seriously considering another pair just to have on hand 10 years from now when I need a replacement. Posted by jzawodn at January 15, 2005 01:23 AM. I absolutely LOVE my MDR-V6 phones.

Sony Mdr V6 Ear Pad

They are by far the best-sounding phones with the best isolation, comfortable to wear.just perfect in every respect EXCEPT ONE. They suck for mixing audio. I don't mean they sound bad; they don't. They sound great. But they're NOT accurate. When I do a mix on the MDR-V6 phones and then take 'em off and listen to the same mix on tri-amped Genelec reference monitors, the mix sucks and I have to re-do everything.

The Genelecs are flat-out the best sounding monitors in the world; they're balls-on accurate, and any time I mix on them, the mix sounds good anywhere else - including on the MDR-V6 phones. It's an enigma. I wish I could use the MDR-V6 phones for mixing, but I've learned the hard way not to do that. Nevertheless, they're still my favorite phones for every other purpose. I first bought the MDR-V6 in 1991. Hands down, they are the best cans I've ever used. When, ten years later, I wanted to replace an earpad, which had split at the seam (their only minor drawback), I found that replacing the phones themselves was easier and more economical than getting just the pads.

However, finding new V6's was no easy task in 2001. Sony had discontinued their production. Sooo, thinking that the V600's were the alleged natural offspring of the V6, I bought a pair. Man, was I disappointed. The V600's, to put it mildly, suck, plain and simple. Within two days, I did a more indepth search online and found that they were sold new at one or two places.

So I bought two pair and put one away in the closet for the inevitable 2010's. Today's it's nice to see that they're back in production and easily found. In fact, the earpads are now easily found and bought for under $10.

I know have the fourteen year-old pair, the four year-old pair, and the unused pair, all in perfect condition. I may be set for life!:) To paraphrase Kevin above, the MDR-V6's are indeed, for the money, the best headphones ever made.

Got a pair of MDR-V6's in '90 after reading that Consumer Reports had check rated them. Having owned numerous phones up till then, I wasn't ready for the sound quality difference these phones made.

I still have them (2005) & replaced the pads a couple of years ago thru Sony. I have compared these phones to models priced 5x more & have yet to find a better sound. If you want DEEP BASS capability without boomyness - then these are the phones to use. Hey - don't take my word: Walk into ANY HI END HI-FI store that carries these phones & put them up AGAINST ANY PHONE REGARDLESS OF PRICE. I purchased a pair of MDR-V7 about 14-15 years ago (I think?) and at the time thought they were incredable!! I stopped using them for the last 10 years (for no particular reason?) Just got an IPOD (I'm an old fart)hate the ear pieces that came with them so I tried several headsets including the Ultimate ears Pro, Bose Quietcomfort etc etc took out my V7 bought new earpads from Liberman (thanks to the net) and these seem to sound better than anything I try?? I seem to find lots about the V6s on the net but it is like the V7s don't exist (I remember the Sony Manager saying that he had the V6 and he thought the V7s were better - this was when I bought them) Does anybody know the difference between the V6 and V7?

I mix CD's for a local high school, various choirs, ensembles, marching band, etc. Getting these headphones was one of the best purchases I made, it allowed me to listen to the mix with a truly flat frequency response, uncolored by room accoustics or the cheap speakers plugged in to my PC. They are a sonic marvel and would be a bargain at twice the price.crisp, clear and indestructable. I have been pounding on mine now since 1999.and its 2006, I have taken them to more gigs than I can count.dropped 'em, stepped on 'em, worn 'em in the rain, stuffed 'em in a gear bag, exposed them to sun, sleet, freezing rain, they just keep on going. The rest of my 'studio' consists of Marshall V67g condensor microphones, a Sony single point stereo condensor mic, Audio-Technica ATR-30 dynamics, Behringer Eurorack mixer, Gateway laptop with Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZX card and record a 44.1khz sampling rate in 24 bit resolution. For the super-portable stuff I use a Sharp MD-MT90 Minidisk recorder.

I used to use Syntrillium Cool Edit Pro but now I use Magix Audio Cleaning lab 10, it used to be a joke but now it rather rocks. I bought my MDR-V6s about 20 years ago and have really like them. Had the earpad problem but just found the answer with this column (thank's to those with parts info)! At my age, I'm having a hard time hearing dialogue on DVDs.

I think its partly the surround mix, partly the reproduction, and partly old age hearing but yesterday my player was on the fritz and I poped a DVD into my computer and used the MDR-V6s. I went through the entire movie without subtitles and didn't miss a word. Maybe my hearing isn't as bad as I thought:) Anyway, the MDR-V6s have always been great headphones and I've used them with many CD players because of the great reproduction, especially into the low end. That's not dynamic range, but frequency response range. And they're exactly the same drivers.

The difference you're seeing is just from a separate set of test results. The impendence value is like one number off. There have been pairs that have come out of the factory with one side saying v6 and the other 7506. Difference is the gold plug, sticker colors, and the part listing on the box of the 7506, which the V6's doesn't have. The V6 is the best headphone ever? You must have tried very few headphones. I own Etymotic ER4S, Extreme Isolation Headphones, HN-7506 isolator headphones (uses the Sony drivers), a bunch of Koss, and have used Grado 60s, Sennheiser HD580s, Denon 950, Pioneer 1000's, Ixos MOS10000's, Koss 950 electrostatics, and Sony V600's, in addition to the Sony 7506/V6 cans.

The 7506 has slightly too much mid/upper bass and fatiguing, peaky, bright treble to people who listen to non-acoustic music and still have good hearing. Besides that it's quite good, and the mids have an open quality a lot of people like a lot. The HN-7506 solves the treble problem for $300 and give you 30dB of isolation. I've owned or tried many headphones in the past 20 years, and currently own my second pair of MDR-V6's. They're great. Got the present pair at a local flea market for $5 in new condition. I lived/worked in Hong Kong in the late '80's and early '90's, and it's fair to say that if you are interested in gadgets of any type (including headphones), then Hong Kong is hog heaven.

While there, I went through perhaps 10-15 different models of Sony headphones, including my first MDR-V6's. Also had V600, V7's V9's, V900's, and probably some models not sold outside of Asia. All told, most Sony headphones are fairly good, with the MDR-V6's as one of their standouts. One Christmas I went shopping for a first class pair of headphones, and went to my favorite shop. I started with the Sony's I was familiar with and all were OK to good, and then the dealer brought out Sennheizer 580's. Fine headphone, and probably better than the average Sony. The dealer was teasing me with ever better headphones, apparently trying to see how much I would fork over for headphones.

From the Sennheizer's top of the line, I listened to the top of the line from Sony at that time (can't remember model number). They were fantastic and I was almost ready to buy. They dealer asked if I wanted to hear the best he had in the shop. Out came the Beyer Dynamic DT-990 Professional headphones.

They are absoluely remarkable. Of my current headphones, I would still list them first, with the Sony MDR-CD580 next, and the MRD-V6 third. I have the MDR-V600's which work well for recording (comfortable and well sealed), and also obtained the MDR-V500's from a Sony outlet store.

They're about the same price as the MDR-V6's at Fry's, but nowhere near the sound. Good thing I didn't pay much for them. And one last comment. For about 2 years I owned (got from an estate sale) a pair of medium priced Stax headphones. Medium price is a relative term here.

Stax are nothing short of incredible, that is, if you can stand being 'leashed' to the driver box. I finally got tired of that, and sold them on eBay. If you don't mind the 'teather', Stax pretty much own that end of the sprectrum, if you care to afford them. $1500 to%5000 is a bit pricey for headphones IMHO. I have spend 25+ years directing - films, videos, sound.

In the process I've directed countless recording sessions at one of the oldest production facilities in the country. I've listened to critical sound on 'industry standard' speakers and headphones. After 'roughing in' the sound on those - I plug in my MDR-V6s to make sure the sound is perfect. I even use them on my tiny little metal iPod. These headphones have served me very well and I have a spare pair just in case my first set ever fails. Sound is subjective, but out of the dozen or so headphones that I own and the countless I've used in my profession, to my ear these are as close to perfect as possible. Is there something wrong with my ears or my 'phones?

I was looking for a decent pair of headphones to relax with my new Samsung MP3 player because I hate ear buds, and I remembered I had the MDR-V6s in the drawer - I've had them so long (and used them so rarely) that I had completely forgotten about them. But when I tried them out the sound lacked the depth and richness (sorry, don't know the technical terms) I'd been getting even with the earbuds that came with my Samsung. Now I.know. for a fact that I don't have a more discerning ear than all the people who posted above.

Is it time for a new set of V6s or a checkup with my doctor? Or is the V6 simply not well matched to my MP3 player in some way? Absolutely love these cans!!!

I bought mine from etronics through Amazon for only $65. Unfortunately, just last week I spilled coffee on my PC at work, which shorted it out. My headphones were plugged into the PC at the time and got damaged (they still 'work', but the volume is really low, the mid range is now flat, and the brightness and detail are distorted - honky sounding.). Well, I ordered another pair of V6's from Amazon for the same price and I should have them next week. Lesson learned: Coffee and computers (and headphones) don't mix. In reply to Michael Poteat's post, thanks for the link (see below) to buy Sony MDR-V600 earpads. How do I properly disassemble the earpieces to replace the old earpads?

Before I order the earpads, I want to ensure that I can successfully perform the mechanics of this process in order to have a functional headset in the end. I see that each earpiece has a single small screw on its top side (facing the inside of the headband). By unscrewing it, can the round, outer, plastic cover be easily removed thereby exposing the inner ring of the earpad?

I am telling u fact not an opinion best head phones for the mid range price and yes $300.48 s&h isincludedin that price. Is midrange price when you are talking about headphones. It takes the The Grado Series GS 1000's at $995.00 not including s&h to compare in sound, probably the best sounding headphones around though, or the Audio Technica ATHW5000 at around $1,600. Now for you Die hard Sony fans if you want true sony sound that is one of the best sounding headphones period and I'm not even a sony fan but will agree there great is the Sony MDR-SA5000 at $359.

Now those comfy head phones theone guy was talking about and there top of the line is Beyerdynamic DT 880 can get at $220. Now for teh ear bud lovers and still want kick ass sound and to be comfortable and ingenious design u want the Westone UM2's at around $299. A better earbud is the Shure E500 PTH at around $366.Another ear bud is the Etymotic ER4 better price but not comparable to the ShureE500's but is priced at about $166 u can find. If you want to pay under 180 bucks u want the Technics RP-DJ1200 or RP-DJ1200a which just look diff are same otherwise. Dj's rave about them, and I think they have some of the best bass any headhone can offer period and def for the price.

Hope this helps someone. I have a pair of mdr-v6 for as long as i can remember, i belive they cost me about 80 bucks, and i have a pair of Sennheiser hd-540 headphones that back in the day set me back around 240 bucks and i still see myself going back to the sonys every time. Not that the Sennheisers don't sound great its just the comfort and the overall sound of them, i used to also use the as portables untile i discoverd the Koss porta-pros. But for home listning and edting there the best. They still use them in recording studios and radio stations.

They rock!!!! I also had a number of V6's through the 90's.

When it came time to replace them I tried the V600 but they are definitely not the same, and do not sound as good. Then I found the Sony 7506 - awesome, it's exactly the same as the V6 was, in fact they even look exactly the same as I remember the V6 looking. I also tried the 7509 but they were way too bass heavy - very unnatural sounding. I have tried numerous other high end phones, including canal, but always come back to the 7506. The only negative is that they make me hot during extended listening. I will soon be trying the Sony F1 which should solve that problem.

I have to say.I was really excited to read all the rave reviews of these headphones.but after a side-by-side comparison to my cheaper Koss Portapro's, I have to say the Koss phones achieved considerable superior reproduction of sound.the clarity, detail and dimension (of highs and lows) that I hear through the Portapro's is not matched by the MDR's. In comparison the MDR's sound rather muddy.and I've tested them both on various devices.can anyone recommend me a better sounding pair of reasonably priced closed ear phones for subway commuting? I purchased the sennheisers hd595 and thought they were very good, but changed to the sony mdr-v6 after reading the rave reviews, honestly the senn`s were good but cost £149 from currys!!, bought the sony £56 delivered via amazon, they give a sound that you cannot believe for the price, 3rd of the price but amazing quality, so what if the ear pads wear quickly, just replace them!!had mine 6 months now and still good as new. Very very happy with the sony, works even better with my ipod touch, simply great they seem to sparkle even with demanding music. I bought my first MDR V6 Studio Monitor headphones back in 1988 and have used them pretty much daily ever since. My only knock on these bullet proof headphones is after about 10 years the leather like ear pads will break down around the edges. The surprising thing is they sell Sony brand replacements for $12 all over the net and I've yet to replace mine after 21 years.

One of the greatest features of these headphones is the multitude of ways you can wear them: on one ear, no ears while talking, flipped open and held against your ear, over hats on both ears. Sony has made many attempts over the years to create a better design then the V6 style with no luck. My single pair has been used with Reel to Reel, Audio Cassettes, Mixing boards, Betamax, DAT, Amiga's Video Toaster, Walkman, MiniDisc, NeXt, The Diamond Rio Mp3-not the band, iPods, Ps3, iPhones-the Rev. A needed an adaptor and many iMacs. Now my Daughter who wasn't even born when I purchased my pair has asked for her own V6's for her Macbook Pro for Christmas to bring back to Collage.

I just paid $109 at the Sony Style store in Silicon Valley for a product that might just out live us all, I hope I didn't pay to much:). I've been spinning with v6's since 1985 and a friend just LOST them while moving my gear between locations, and i immediately went to replace them, but when i discovered Ortofon was now making phones i ordered up some 02's. I figured i couldn't go wrong with my fave cart maker and a set of phones by the same maker - match made in heaven right? Sound wise maybe, but i wouldn't know because i packed them right back up after trying them on.

Heavy, thick band pad is funky and the angles make them wanna slip off your head when dj'ing. And they're.made.

for dj'ing. Now to scramble to find some v6's.somewhere. before friday or i'll have to get some cheapos for the event. The place i bought the Orts from said i had 30 days to return them but they're the most ill-fitting phones i've ever tried and i'll be pulling my hair out by night's end from fussing with them all night, and my ears will be sore from being pulled on. The v6's just sit on your head and stay there, no ear-twisting cups, not too heavy, adequate sound and volume for me as i keep the phones very low when i mix, just enough to pick up the beat. Sony MDR V6 are good for something from the 1980's however these days you can buy so much better. Audio Technica ATH AD 700 Open Air Are the best headphones sound quality wise you can for under $250-$300.

Anyone saying otherwise is just fooling themselves. The soundstage,clarity,separation of instruments and vocals with nothing being drowned out is astonishing. However since they are Open Air their for home listening only. You can get them for about $90 or a little more on webstores. The MSRP is $250 but authentic dealers do sell them at this price.

And with some albums after listening to them on Audio Technica's the Sony sound like absolute garbage. My dad had some Sony headphones he bought in the early 90's.

I'm blind, so I never knew the model number. It was a nice big set of headphones, but one thing I remember is that the headband had an elastic ribbon on the sides, then on the top, attached to the elastic ribbon, a plastic thingy with a slot in the middle. Don't know if I'm describing this right, but it's the only way I know to describe it. Do these headphones have that elastic/plastic thing?

Just wondering if I've found those old headphones!. a long but well written and informative posting on how to negotiate your salary when taking a new job. Works good for me. We made this a few nights ago and it kicked ass. some useful tests and data that help to validate a lot of what we already do at craigslist.

handy reference. this really is a good list of books. good answer to what null is about in javascript.

a great little store that we just visited for the first time today. that's kinda nuts. redis-server implemented in erlang with more (better?) persistance options.
