Sony mdr-v6 vs mdr-7506

Unread post by selby »

Does anyone have either of these headphones?

They seem to have stopped making the mdr-v6 but these seem to have better overall reviews, the specs are slightly different.

Basically looking for some closed back headphones, not too big and sub £100.

Thx

But I would love a cheeky little AP10, AP20 sort of amp for a bedroom setup...

I have been considering the Sony MDR-1A - gets favourably compared with the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X. The Sony is smoother and fuller in sound, the ATH-M50X is praised for its dynamic punch.
