I picked up a pair of Sony MDR-V6 headphones today for listening to music at home. I used to have a pair of these about 15 years ago, and loved the sound quality. Unfortunately the pleather substance on the earphones disintegrated after a few years and I ended up throwing them away. This was really dumb of me, since you can buy replacement earcushions from Beyer that fit perfectly. In fact, people recommend that you replace the Sony earcushions with the Beyer ones immediately. Oh well, that old pair ended up in the trash, but now I have a new pair and I am loving them.

I have been using my Sony EX71’s for a while now, but the V6’s are in a totally different class. I will just say that they sound so much better than any earbuds I have ever tried. All the music sounds so amazing now! The trade-off is in the size of course. These aren’t very practical for exercise or being out and about, but for relaxing at home in a nice comfy chair, it’s perfect. Now I just need to buy a nice comfy chair.
