Pros in the radio, film, television, and DJ industries have used them for years. This model continues to stand strong as the go-to standard for professional work in the studio.

The Sony MDR-V6 Headband Headphones have a closed back circumaural design which reduces environmental noise from the outside world. These over-the-ear headphones feature gently padded ear cups for comfort while the headband is wide and padded for even weight distribution. With no pressure on your ears or only one side of your head, you can have marathon listening sessions in comfort.

The cord is made from oxygen-free copper litz wire, providing you with minimum noise and maximum conductivity.Inside the Sony headset, there are neodymium magnetic 40mm drivers, which provide a wide surface area for powerful and dynamic sound. This set supports a frequency response from 5Hz all the way to 30KHz to allow the complete sound spectrum to be represented. You will hear the bass, mids, and treble as they were originally recorded thanks to a flat equalizer.

Not my first pair of these
I've purchased more than a few of these headphones over the years...these and other Sony versions. They've all had very nice response, if a little heavy on the bass. Some consider this accurate response, and I don't say it isn't. I've come to consider these as good studio headphones, and I think you will, too. They are comfortable, light weight, and are very good quality. What I don't like about these is the small wires going to each phone. They are made that way to facilitate the folding of the headphones, to carry them in the included soft pack. These wires also slide through the headband, so you can make them fit your head. All of this is good, but what I don't like about it is these wires are small and become fragile, over time. The insulation cracks and the wire inside can short or break. They don't remain flexible and that makes the headphones susceptible to breakage. If one of those wires breaks, one side of the headphones stops working. Also, the pads are very flexible and quite comfortable, but the "plastic?" coating wears off too fast. Sure, you can get replacement pads, but I've got other brand headphones that have longer lasting pads. The problem is, those headphones don't have the same frequency response as the MDR-V6. These issues do lessen the quality of the headphones. Those wires getting brittle and breaking are the only reason I've had to replace them. But, even with these issues, I still keep purchasing these headphones. I like them enough to keep spending money on them. I do wish that Sony would do something to make those wires not become so brittle over time, and maybe make the coating on the pads thicker or longer lasting in some way.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Sony MDR-V6 Headphones - very natural-sounding especially given their hundred Dollar price-point
The Sony MDR-V6 Headphones came out back in the 1980s and I don't understand why Sony chose to discontinue them as they have a slightly 'flatter' frequency response than the MDR-7506 Headphones which are still in-production. Physically the MDR-V6 Headphones appear identical to the MDR-7506 Headphones so whatever the differences are must be minor internal 'tweaks'. I find the MDR-V6 Headphones to be slightly more pleasant to use than the MDR-7506 Headphones as I believe the music has a more natural sound.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not quite the top anymore, but an unbeatable value
I now prefer my Audio-Technica AT-7 set: better finish, slightly better comfort, slightly smoother sound, especially bass. Which is all there in both cases, just alittle cleaner in the A-Ts. Comfort is subjective, but both pass my test: can I sleep on my side wearing either pair. Both are very comfy in that situation. Since a lot of this comes down to taste, think of the Sony as a great value that is the industry standard; the 7s just a more contemporary presentation, especially for looks and quality of materials. But double the price. If open air headphones would work for you, consider Grado, Phillips, or Beyerdynamics.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Sony MDR-V6 Dynamic Stereo Headphone Monitors - What are they for?
You find these cans in many recording studios. Reason being they are quite brutal at revealing what is actually happening in your audio. So are they good for listening to music? IF you have very good quality, well mixed and mastered music...in other words, no CD's from the '80's :) then the huge frequency response from these headphones will give you a revealing and very accurate representation of your music. Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes not so much I use them for editing audio for which they are perfect. They are a legend amongst headphones and for the price and comfort they are perfect for work. If your music sounds good on these then your music will sound good anywhere! There is not much point in giving a long and detailed review as there are already many out there, plus these are in essence designed for Audio Engineers as a work horseVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great headphones!
I received a pair as a present, found them to be outstanding in sound quality! I also use them when I play my digital piano with vocals, again sound quality is outstanding. Sooooo, when I needed a second pair- what did I order- well the Sony MDR-V-6! You can't go wrong with these headphones! RHMVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

My most favorite again!
I got my first pair of these when I was a teenager back in 1985. They were soo much better than just about everything else I tried in the store; back then we had Hi-Fi specialty stores, you could listen to all the different headphones they had until you found the thing you wanted. I tried almost all of them and kept going back to these until I was able to buy them with about 2 weeks of my saved up summer job money (remember this was year 1985.) Since then, I have had many different pairs of headphones, I still have the audiophile bug and own 3 different examples of the $300.00 or so noise canceling jobbers. The Bose, Able Planet and Monster headphones I have are all top choice products. if you are traveling on a plane they are great but they never satisfied me when I was on the ground where I could focus on the music. When I saw these were still in production (in production for 30+ years) I ordered another pair, when they came I couldn't find much difference between the new ones and the ones I had 30 years ago, when I put them on, their performance hadn't changed either. I got the clear, accurate, uncolored, detailed musical headphone experience that fascinated me as a kid. For listening to music even in somewhat noisy environments, these headphones are hard to beat!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Best Headphones on the Market!
I have used the Sony V6 years ago and I am glad they are still available. The only issue is that the ear pads need replacement over years of use. The sound is clean, no muddy bass, no over emphasized mid range and clean pure highs with no shrillness. You can buy the "other brands" for $300 or more but none will sound better. This is why still today in the Recording Studios' they are still number one.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent headphones.
I use these through my bass amp headphone jack to play my bass guitar in the evening. The sound quality is phenomenal. I highly recommend these phones for a true to the source sound. They are not colored or voiced in any manner as far as I can hear, they reproduce sound as it was recorded, or as the instrument sounds. I especially like the long chord. The mids and highs are smooth, and the bottom end has authority, but not overpowering.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very Good Headphones
I picked these up after wanting some lightweight and comfy headphones and these fit that. The sound quality is very good too. They are studio so it's a nice flat range and it's pretty wide. Everything is clear and you can mess with an equalizer to add more highs or lows depending how you like your music to sound. Overall they are nice headphones and I love them.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fine headset
This Sony headset sounds very clear. Earcup is new. Balance is good but it seems to lack bass. Then again, I have been using this for TV movie music. That could be the reason. The Thinksound ON2 has better balance, but the Sony seems more alive. On the other hand, the Thinksound costs twice as much as the Sony. All in all, the Sony headset gas fine sound and is a wonderful value.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
