I bought these based on internet reviews. I was a bit cautious about buying a product without hearing it first, but once I arrived at the store, they had a pair that I could try before I bought it. I can say that they are high quality headphones (both in sound and construction).

Sound - Clarity, Accurate bass, and the ear pads cover your whole ear; Also it came with 1 year warranty in Australia

The cable is too long in my opinion; It is coiled, but its still a little bit annoying; I shouldn't complain, this is only a very minor weakness

This hugely popular phone has been around for decades, and for a reason: it offers a pleasing sound with comfort and nominal portability - and comfort. At higher volumes, there can be a certain hardness to the sound at around the 3k level.

With fantastic audio quality for a low price point, the Sony MDR-V6s are great studio monitors for the music hobbyist or student who isn’t ready to shell out several grand for a setup at home. These headphones have been around for a long time, and it’s easy to see why.

The Sony MDR-V6 definitely qualifies as a classic headphone. It was introduced way back in 1985, and while Sony has since released a string of "improved" and more expensive V6 inspired models -- the MDR-V600, MDR-7506 , and MDR-7509HD -- the $109.99-list MDR-V6 is still available.

The Sony MDR-V6 closed-back, full-size headphones sound great and are comfortable to wear for hours at a time; Their sound is also very well-balanced and crisp -- they sound great for the money

With its coiled; pro-style cable and lack of an inline remote/microphone; some will find the V6s less mobile-friendly than more modern headphones

I had seen a large headphones used by my favorite singer. In her, the design is Hello Kitty and it is color red. I like something like that. I want big headphones were the bass I playing in full blast and the only thing I will hear is the music.

This product could cost 3 times and much, and still be highly competitive in sound quality with other maufacturers such as Grado and Sennheiser. I compared these V6s with the SR80 and Sennheiser HD600 Models, and quite frankly, for the price I paid, I thought the V6's held there own against the...

Durability (Like a Tank); Sound Clarity; Neutrality of Sound

Despite its age, the Sony MDR-V6 really is a headphone that does very little wrong for the asking price. It is well-built, comfortable, and isolating enough to compete with the best ‘modern' studio and DJ headphones.

As an audio engineer, I've used these phones for many years. Every sound engineer I know prefers them for their comfort and accuracy. Replacement cushions are available at B&H Photo, among other places. The cloth after-market cushions are nice, but so are the original.

The MDR-V6 are the big brother of the MDR-7506 . They are driven by CCAW electromagnet voice coils, giving them a frequency response of 10Hz to 30kHz which far outstrips the 7506's. The V6 are not as new user friendly as the 7506's either.

In addition to being absolutely stunning in terms of sound quality, especially with sound interfaces, these headphones got me laid last night. I sh*t you not - she said "i wouldn't had come with you if you didn't wear these headphones" . Turns out she was a musician as well.
