I have a lot of headphones. And have had for many years. I have these, and love them. These are closed-ear, clinical, precise sounding cans. They are hot on your ears. They are harsh. They are good for mixing recordings because they consolidate a lot of listening experiences. When you're mixing music, you need to listen on a variety of sources, sources you expect your music to be heard on: iPod earbuds, car stereos, AM radios, Disco sound systems etc. These are great because they relentlessly show detail. If your mix sounds good on these things, it'll sound good on anything. BUT If you are looking for a comfortable, moving listening experience; check out Grado. Audiophile quality, rich and beautiful. Recordings mixed with these Sony's will sound spectacular on Grados. These are an incredible tool, but they are built for a purpose, and it's work, not pleasure.

Over 20 years ago, I had started working at Circuit City and I wanted to buy a good pair of headphones, especially since I got an employee discount of store cost. :-) I tried on all the headphones on the rack, not listening to anything; I just snapped my fingers and listened to how well each headphone muffled the sound. The Sony MDR-V6 pair did the best job. Based on that, I bought them. Imagine my shock when I listened to them and realized that they gave me better sound than my actual speakers did! Over the 20 years since then, the padding disintegrated, and in my last move, they got... um. A bit crunched. I was heartbroken, as I remember Sony replacing the V6 with a far lesser pair of V600 headphones. They had (I thought) renamed the V6 and tripled the price. Not so, apparently! I found my current pair of V6s right here on Amazon for the exact price I'd paid for them (at cost, remember) back in 1987!!
If you have any desire to hear your music without distraction, if you want the headphones that professionals use, if you want to have sounds coming at you that you cannot even *hear* but more feel, then buy these headphones!
The sound quality is unparalleled in its price range. Even going double or triple the price does not guarantee you a better pair of headphones, but there are some at higher prices. Point is, you don't need to go that high for top-quality 'phones. The 10-foot cord may seem like overkill, but when you need to get up from your chair to close that window, or answer the phone you left on the cradle on the other side of the room, or to look out the front window to see whatever, you will appreciate not being tethered. Those ten feet equal freedom of movement that couples with phenomenal sound.
The phones even let you do that little thing you see professionals do in those shows, where they flip an earpiece over and hold it up to their ear without putting the band over their head! Or, flip one *while* it's over your head to enable a friend to listen to what you're listening to!
I have read some people saying that these phones are uncomfortable. I cannot imagine how that is possible. The padding is quite comfortable (if short-lived in the earpads), and they manage to be snug without being constricting.
These are, of course, NOT headphones to be worn while exercising unless you really want your ear pads soaked in sweat. But that aside, these honest-to-goodness studio monitors will faithfully reproduce any sound you can throw at them, and never give you distortion from having the music turned up too loud. You may go deaf from it.... But it won't be distorted! :-)

I have been on a quest for the perfect set of headphones for many long years and I am glad to say that about three months ago my quest ended in success! I purchased these headphones based on the other reviews I have read but because of their price I didn't expect what I got. These headphones are amazing. The sound is wonderful and enjoyable across all frequency ranges. People say in other reviews that these have good bass, but that is really only a small part of the full picture. I have a really costly and professionally setup Klipsch surround setup in my house and I have to say that since I got these headphones that setup has been largely ignored. I find it thoroughly enjoyable to just sit and get lost in the incredible sound reproduction of these headphones. I generally listen to high bit-rate AAC files on my Ipod Touch, and while that is a great experience, these phones really shine when used through a headphone amp like a good audio reciever or a stand-alone amp. I've rambled long enough, just buy these things if your looking for good headphones.

These have completely exceeded all expectations I had for them! I absolutely love them, and so do all my friends.

Hands down, best headphones I've had up until now. They also came in a timely manner, my crappy Koss before this had died on me and were terribly bass heavy. Thought I would try something different and wasn't disappointed. Shipping was also quick because I'd ordered them a few days before my camping trip and they came the day of.
