I am new to head-fi, but I have been lurking for a bit. I like good sound like everyone, my recent foray was prompted by the crap sound quality of my Idevices.  I just got the Fiio E6 in the mail, and I think I am going to like it.  I have these headphones Klipsch S4i, Iem Beats that someone...

  I've heard the 7506 and V6 are virtually the same  http://goo.gl/TklUc  , but is there a difference in sound quality? If not, I might go for the V6 (cheaper) but if the 7506's sound better I'll pay the extra money.    I'm also interested in the 7505's, but only because they're smaller...

Going to upgrade from my senns to some sony cans, because i've felt lately that my senns have the attitude of a frozen stone. I've chosen Sony as the next brand, because of its availabilty. So anyways, any of you guys had the chance to try both of them headphones? I feel like i'm comparing an...

Hey guys, I'm new here. Just got a pair of Sony MDR-7506's and I do like them quite a bit; better than my Bose OE1's, volume is louder, no distortion at the high volumes, etc. However, I have an issue and was wondering if anyone here has experienced this too. On some songs, like Norah Jones...

Hey guys, I would really like to buy a second pair of headphones for the studio.  I appreciate that open cans sound better in general but I really need to stick to closed or semi open (minimal leakage) cans as they are primarily used when I can't use my monitors for mixing and for tracking.  ...

Back at it again, still have not found proper headphones to do the job...wah...wah...waaahh...   Iv been looking at the titles headphones because they seem to be the best and affordable choice for my wallet. I mainly just listen to jazz,house,trance,breaks. But the twist is that I game a lot...

Hi, I've been thoroughly reading your articles for a little while and amidst all the local expertise I just can't seem to be sure of which one I really want in the end. So I thought I'd just ask for some direct input. Because I actually know exactly how to phrae what I'd want. "An In-Ear with...

Greetings!    I'm trying to decide which of these two headphones I should get.   As a background: I currently own the Koss Prodj100s and I like the clarity and the size, however I was disappointed in the amp and the bass response.    I'm using them for: Personal Listening (About...

  Hello everyone! It's my first post and I'm sorry to give you another "is this fake?" thread. But since my results are inconclusive, I need help from you guys. I'm a musician (bass player) and I love high quality audio, but don't have many equipment. I own a UE Triple.fi for two years...

I found the MDR-7506 for my brother to buy, it's 23 euros more than the ZX-700.  I wonder which one is actually better, I've never heard the audio quality of the MDR-7506 so please tell me which one's better!  thanks!

The coiled cable on my new pair of 7506s has become tangly and ugly. It is coiling the wrong way sometimes and is stretched out to the point of very loose coils. A google search showed me how to bake a phone cable, but that isn't possible with these relatively expensive headphones. Any help...

First of all, do these guys even need an amp? My computer is pretty bad, and my iPod is an old one, so I'd like to think that my Sony's are not being used to their full potential.  I'm no pro, but I really enjoy quality sound in my music (I close my eyes and truly listen).  I know the MDR-7506's...

Ive listened to the Ultrasone HFI-780, Sony MDR-V6 (MDR-7506), Grado SR80i, and the Sennheiser HD598. The HD598 wins. The Ultrasone HFI-780 has absolutely terrible sibilance/sibilant. This is a common complaint with these cans. The 780 has better bass than the HD598, but the sibilance ruins...

Hi guys, this is my first thread on Head-Fi foruns (and the first one about headphones at all). The thing is, I'm looking foward to buy a new (and good) headphone, but I'm stucked between these...

Hey guys,   So in '10 I asked you guys about getting my first pair of nice entry-level cans, and I ended up picking up the Sony MDR-7506's upon certain requests and my own testing (I must have A/B'd the HD 280's with the 7506's for like 2 hours at Sam Ash lol). I was very happy with this...

I decided to do this for all my friends who have recently been interested in buying Sony Headphones. NOTE: These are MDR-7506s however the MDR-V6 model are built exactly the same.   NOTE:  MDR-7506s have been known to be made in Japan, China, Thailand.   The headphones in the picture are...

Hi all, I'm looking for some recommendations on headphones that would be a nice step up from my current MDR-7506s.  I've had them for years, and really love their sound signature, but I think it would be nice to try something different.   These headphones would be playing multiple roles...

New to DIY stuff here, and was wondering if this is actually doable.   I love the construction and quality of the ATH-M50s, very durable and comfortable headphones. In my opinion, the quality of sound is inferior to Sony MDR-7506. I wouldn't mind changing the drivers if this is doable.  ...

I currently have a pair of cheap Sony MDR-V150s which feel and sound great for only $20 but I have moved in with my friend. Our desktops are right next to each other and they have a tendency to yell in to their microphones which in turn hurt my ears. Said friend is offering to buy me a new pair...

Firstly, I am fully aware headphones do not compete with dedicated studio monitors. I do own a set of monitors and I'm happy with them. However due to its convenience I find myself producing with headphones on my laptop a lot, (sennheiser hd25-2s) My observations is that the hd25s are too bass...

I've been trying to decide between the two but there isn't enough info on the Sony's yet. I have considered the UE6000 but they don't have replaceable pads! My musical tastes include: •R&B •examples: Ne-Yo, Bruno Mars, etc. •Hip Hop •The only rap artist I listen to is lupe fiasco •JRock/Pop...

Hi guys, first time posting here so I hope this is the right part of the forum to do this!   Just wanting some advice really.   I'm after some new headphones to use as portable monitors (preferably cup, not in ear) I'm a music Tech lecturer and I need something with a reliable fairly...

My friend works at a Salvation Army here in Michigan, and picked these up for the low, low price of free... only caveat was the cable was cut just above where the curly part would be (about 1'-1.5", I believe?), and it was fitted with a crappy (and poorly soldered, super loose) 1/4" plug which...

Can the Sony MDR-7506 be connected to an IPhone 4S? Thanks for your response(s).
