Been using Sony MDR-CD900ST (MDR-V6) for a few months to keep the neighbors happy. Real happy with these. Very comfortable and built for pro use, I guess the sound is probably "neutral" but I just think it's "good" because it sounds the way I like, I guess I like the "Sony" sound? Flat, detailed, neutral.. I've tested a lot of the Sony headphones at around $300 the last few years and I would say at this price range the 900STs are still the best you can do for new home headphones (keep in mind these aint for portables, proper non convertible large phones plug only).. Straight outa Bic Camera so I know I ain't got the fakes that are everywhere. Nothing like putting these on, cracking an Asahi and enjoying my latest Yuming laserdisc from Japan..nippon no seikatsu ii na..

These are THE best headphones, the MDR-V6 I had a pair made in Japan and they were amazing. All the studio guys in Nashville that I knew used them, so they must be good I need to pickup another pair of these, there are bootlegs floating around on ebay so make sure you get the ones that say Made In Japan. I don't know much about the other model but they look the same

I don't know much about the other model but they look the same Yeah I think they're basically just V6s with a new model number. I had bought fake V6s from ebay years ago and was very wary so I got a friend to actually buy these in Bic Camera for me while they were in Tokyo. You could easily proxy from Bic Camera or somewhere else legit online as well. Not familiar with the MDR-7506 but look like the folding version of the same thing.

We always have those at the radio station. For that purpose I can't think of anything better. At home I prefer more isolation when it comes to music creation and more fidelity when it comes to straight listening. These days at home I use HD 599: Something more durable for when I'm at work, traveling, mowing the lawn (and because the 599's have very open backs) I use the 471 or something in the same series: I wish the 471 had a coiled wire.
