Well worth the price!
While not as bassy as I had hoped, these headphones really produce an accurate sound. The phones are comfortable and also feel sturdy. All around good product

MDR-V6 Me ASAP
I bought these for my son, age 15, I think they are better than popular headphones that are 3 times the cost, which my daughter owns. They were recommended by a DJ friend, they are great -- and hip enough to wear in public.

Quality of sound is fantastic!
I use these headphones to listen to classical music, which means that the quality and detail of the sound are incredibly important as is volume. These phones more than meet my expectations for all of these requirements.

Great Sounding Comfortable Headphones!! They are very sturdy and well made. It is impressive how much surrounding sound they cut out! Very Clear full range sound spectrum! Over all I am very impressed with these and would definitely purchase them again.

Sound Great and Designed Well
These are great headphones. These are probably best for monitoring audio as opposed to casual music listening as these let you hear everything. I use them for monitoring audio while filmmaking or shooting events and for audio editing. The folding design is great for storage and transport and they feel very well built. The cord is a good length. I know of people who have had these for 20 years and they are still going. I expect to get quite a few years out of mine as well.

Bad for the first bit, amazing afterward
When I first heard these I thought they were terrible, so I decided to break them in by playing music on it on moderate volume for about 25 hours. The sound changed drastically over the course of this time--Very clear highs and great punchy lows! The only thing I dislike is the comfort, I can't wear them for longer than a couple of hours. But then again, I'm comparing these to the Sennheiser HD650's.

Sony MDR-V6 - Review
I was very impressed with the Sony MDR-V6 headphones. The fit and comfort are excellent, but where they really excel is the quality and richness of the sound they deliver. I have four other Sony headphones, three of which were more expensive than this model, yet the MDR-V6 out performed all four in comfort and sound quality. The headphones are so comfortable that I forget that I am wearing them. That is where the coiled retro cord comes in handy.... Show More

Flat... and that's a good thing
These are about the flattest sounding headphones in this price range. And that is essential whether you are mixing in a studio (which is what these cans were made for), or listening to audiophile recordings. If you want boomy bass or crispy high end, look elsewhere. If you want music the way it was recorded, these Sony MDR-V6 will deliver just that, and nothing more or less.

Great Headphones
I recently got these headphones the sound quality is great the best headphones I ever bought and used. The bass and subtle voices and instruments come through clearly. Unlike anything I have heard before. A real good buy.

Excellent Headphones At A Great Price
In using this product daily for sound design work, I'm greatly satisfied with it's craftsmanship and functionality. I've had multiple studio headphone monitors throughout the past decade (including this set once prior), and I'm happy to return to this model. Great value for the price, and as always, impressive order placement turnaround and shipping from B&H.

Solid All Around
I use these everyday. They are super comfortable and i forget that i have them on at times. The only thing i see that can be improved is the headband doesn't stay clicked on the number notches all the time, causing the need to readjust them when putting them on for the first time again

Better than expected. Great surprise.
I bought this headphones for studio use. I was looking for an alternative solution for tracking choirs and orchestras in my studio. We generally use 7506 , Sennheiser hd 280 and Akg 271, but this MDRV6 heaphones has great sound compared to 7506 and they are cheaper. I will buy more of course.

wonderful sound
use for listening to music and for amateur home music recording. great tone and volume. my ears get a little hot, but I'm not sure how to not have that happen. I'm not sure how much better headphones can get by spending more... these seem to be pretty amazing.

Solid, of course
Bang for the buck, certainly. I don't want to taint this review with too many works. They just produce a sweet, crystal clear and warm sound. Love em.

Better than expected!
I use this produce in Shooting and Directing Education videos for a university. Also, used in Edit room for post-production. These work really well, and come in nice packaging and are made excellently well. These sound great, fit my ears very well, and even block out enough noise from everywhere else to suit my needs. I bought these because we already owned the MDR-7506's, and these are almost exactly the same, with the gold tip headphone jack as the exception.

Excellent sound
I give these headphone 5 stars because the sound quality is very nice for the price. I have never paid this much for headphone but I don't regret it. My only negative about the headphones would be the size. I am unable to make it four stars because I know what I was buying. I wish it had a volume wheel. This wish is because my iPod classic isn't loud enough. I am yet to try another mp3 player. I tried on a pc and it sounds even better and it's much much louder. Buy them. What sold me is that everyone says they last years and years... Which make the the value even better.

Best value studio headphones
I've also owned a pair of MDR-7506s for almost 10 years and these v6s seem to have just as clean with a flatter frequency response, which I prefer. The build quality is solid and it comfortable with a good seal from exterior noise. The only improvement I'd like on all Sony headphones would be a shorter, or detachable cable like some other brands. The ability to change the cord length would be awesome.

Comfy and Good Sond
Everyone should know these are the industry standard headphones and they hold true to that name. Extremely comfortable for my egg shaped head, nice thick cable, and the sound is great! The coil on the cable doesn't start until about 2 feet down from the headphone ear so there is not as much weight hanging off your head. Good engineering. Well worth money.

Awful
Okay these are awful soundwise. They have a really nasty spike in the higher mids 2k region and extreme rolled off treble and very bleh sounding bass. This gives music a very artificial rough harsh sound nothing is pleasing and nothing is accurate about it's sound some music will sound okay on it but 99% of music sounds bad.It's almost like someone EQed it to sound as bad as it can. Other Sony headphones don't sound good either.Although they soun... Show More

After 20 years they still sounded great
I first bought a Sony MDR-V6 about 20years ago because of a Consumers Report article .I had to replace the ear pads about 4 years ago,although they still sounded great.One night in the dark I stepped on them and broke the head set I didn't even give it a second thought about what to get as a replacement(another MDR-V6) . By the way they originally cost me twice as much. I think they are a great deal.

Wow! NOW I Understand!
Now I know why Sony has kept making this model for over +20 years now! Wow! Astonishing! I compared it to other brands costing 3x more and I like this model better! Apparently, I'm not alone here!
