Sony MDR V6

 

Great rich sound, crisp bass response without distortion or washiness. Super comfortable, padded headband and big enough to cover your whole ear to keep outside sound out

Somewhat larger than most headphones, they're moderately bulky for portable audio. Ear padding is comfortable, but can tear or fray with extended use. External wires sometimes get twisted and tangled in the foldable design

These headphones provide clarity and durability while remaining comfortable and versatile. They're really good for listening to music, mixing and tracking.

MDR-V6 - Excellent Buy

 

Comfortable, durable, easy to stow and detailed sound.

Cord is rather heavy on the head if listening from far away.

SONY MDR-V6

 

Amazing sound, great price, extremely comfortable, very affordable

Broke with minimal use (5-10 hours a week tops) after about 3 months, sound only comes out of the left speaker. They weren't dropped or stepped on or damaged in any way, it just stopped working out of nowhere. A little disappointing because I bought...

Awesome Headphones

 

I had the same Sony Headphones, only they were a MDR-V4, which I got in the 1980's for use with my keyboard. When looking for a newer pair, I found the MDR-V6, which look like the newest of this model, and the sound quality is even better! I will use...

great sound quality

The only headphones I'll ever buy...

 

I've been using this exact headphone since I was 12 years old. I've always come back to it for gaming and music. I wouldn't choose anything else. Don't be fooled by Bose and their brand name - stick with Sony

Best Headphones for the money

 

These are the best headphones you can get for the money. I lost my first pair in a move and got another pair.

Balance sound

Could be lighter

Consumer review by:

Love them so much!

 

These would be great for travel and everyday use. When they're on your head people next to you can't hear it even if you play it pretty loud. (don't be that guy who thinks he's a dj and blasts music.) Highly recommend these.

Well first, the gold case with the ribbon and stuff was a really nice presentation lol. But these headphones are so amazing and I bought them when they were $70! I've listened to beats before and these rival beats. They are super comfortable. The sound...

No cons so far

Excellent

 

Has great smooth sound and has worked flawlessly for over a year. Even after some rough treatment it has done an amazing job. Never had a serious issue

They can get a little uncomfortable, but you get used to it. The bass is not as deep as you would expect, but this has not been an issue for me since having deep throbbing bass sounds is not a priority for me
