Professional Quality Headphones
These headphones are great for monitoring your recordings or high-fidelity enjoyment of your favorite programming.
With 40mm driver units, the MDR-V6s produce deep, accurate bass, along with crisp highs and midrange tones. The neodymium magnets pack more magnetic energy per ounce than other common magnet materials, helping to produce ample sound output wtih 106 dB/mW sensitivity.
A Copper-clad aluminum voice coil wire provides low mass, high heat conduction, which means superb power handling for the most intense sessions. Speaking of copper, the oxygen-free copper litz cord offer maximum conductivity with minimal noise.
Comfortable, Circum-Aural Design
The MDR-V6s feature soft oval earpads, with a circum-aural (over-ear) design to add extra isolation from ambient noise. A wide, padded headband distributes the headphone's weight over a wide area, which means reduced pressure for comfortable listening hours on end. A ten-foot cable means you can move around freely while listening at home, working on media, etc.
Easy Portability
The MDR-V6s' folding design makes for quick and compact storage. Slip the phones into the included soft case and hit the road.
Sony UniMatch Plug
Use the fixed mini plug for portable use and this detachable 1/4-inch phone plug for home hi-fi use or other 1/4-inch applications. The MDR-V6 suits either.

My earpads have flaked off their coating like everyone else. But no need to buy new phones, you can order the earpads from sony.com or some specialty audio stores: MDR-V6/MDR-7506 Ear Pad PART: X-2113-124-1 PRICE: $6.00 (US) 141 of 151 people found the following review helpful: A Classic, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Sony MDR-V6 Monitor Series Headphones with CCAW Voice Coil (Electronics) I can't recall how long I've owned my MDR-V6 phones, but it's easily been ten years. The sound is excellent, virtually uncolored, and unlike other top of the line headphones like Sennheiser's (which are VERY nice and well over $150.00) these sound as good used with a portable CD player as with a well powered home system.It was time to replace them since the cord is finally shorting too much to ignore any longer and my ears are always covered with black stuff and foam from the disintergrating earcups. I asked around and a colleague who is the audio technician on a popular TV show told me without hesitation, these are the ones to buy. It's what he uses on the set and at home. I'm glad Sony still makes 'em. Maybe I should buy another pair for ten years down the road... 275 of 300 people found the following review helpful:  BE CAREFUL ABOUT IGNORING THE COMFORT REVIEWS, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Sony MDR-V6 Monitor Series Headphones with CCAW Voice Coil (Electronics) I read and read and read the reviews on these and paid close attention to the comments on the tightness of the headphones. Nearly everyone says that the sound quality is so fantastic that it makes up for the uncomfortableness. I decided to go ahead and purchase them. Got them about 10 hours ago. While the sound is truly fantastic and getting better with every hour played (That break-in time suggested is definitely true.) the tightness on my ears is not making me happy. I'm a woman and do not have a big head or ears, in my opinion, and these phones are almost as uncomfortable as my previous pair of [...] Sony V150s. I'm trying to ignore it and hoping it gets more tolerable, but so far no. Even within a few minutes my ears start itching from the tightness.
I am boycotting Bose for their ridiculously inflated prices, but my mom has a pair of the Bose QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones, and I LOVE them! [...] though. Yikes! I'm contemplating the Bose...Read more |
