clarification on these Sony cans...

Went to my local electronics store and found the 500 model. They had swivel feature in every direction and seemed to have decent sound quality.

I am wondering if the v6 or the mdr600 have the swivel features? From reading here on this site the v6 and the mdr600 are two different phones right?

v6 nor the mdr 600 have those swivel features, I think its only the mdr v500DJ or the mdr v700DJ that have them. But the mdr V6 also known as the mdr 7506 is in a class of its own compared to those other sony headphones in terms of sound quality and durability! I personally have not tried them, but many on this board will say they are a gift from the heavens

I thought the general opinion was to stay away from the v6?

i have the V500's. They are great!!!!!!!!!!....for my computer headphones I have technics for dh-rp1200 (or something like that) headphones for my setup. but i guess if you are starting out the v500 will be ok.

No way! v506/v6 for teh WIN!!!!

its the 700s weve agreed to stay away from!

actually i used the 500s for a while. great cans if u want a smaller headphone in the same style as the 700s.... ive actually seen a couple bigger djs using them from time to time.

right now i am using the numark HF125...the ones that come in the battle pack. I'm sure there are better phones out there than this.

so what kind of sound quality differences am I going to notice between the 500 and the 7506?

those reviews have mixed opinions on bass. I dont have any stores here that carry these for me to try out. Some say the 7506 has weak bass. Some say its rich and full bass. Fuckin eh...

NO- the general opinion was to stay away from the V600s....which are shite.

The V6/7506 are some of the finest headphones you can buy....for studio and for dj use.

i love my 7506's

now that it's been over a month and they've been properly broken in, they sound amazing

i always thought sony headphones were way over priced for what they were. bit like all of sony's stuff really.

audio technica ATH-A900s ($195) completely blow away all sony cans in terms of bass response, mid range response and accurate soundstage. the only sony thats up to par start at twice the price and even then the A900 holds its own.

grado sr80s and up are damn good too but they look like ass and they arent as comfortable as the A900s.

Now it is down between the 7506 and the Technics RP1200.

The 1200's have the side swivel which I like. But...how is the sounds/weight/comfort?

proud owner of sony 7506s. the only headphone i'd recommend above this, in terms of sound quality, are Sennheisers (HD25s i believe it is). however, my friend, even though i agree they allow for better DJing, you can hear the tracks start to drift a lot better with em and all, has destroyed his pair of Senns by now, and my Sony's are intact. and the difference in sound, while noticeable, is not SO big that he can't DJ correctly with mine. i am also confident he'll go deaf sooner by using those cans. fucking LOUD...

The RP-DJ1200s don't swivel like others do, they fold backwards rtaher than side to side.

Its hard to explain, heres some pics which i hope will make it clearer

RP-DJ1200

These are the pioneers, which have a conventional swivel

Its up to you though, I am just pointing it out in case you were expecting the normal swivel.

HOWEVER, I own and love the V6.
And I don't miss a swivel at all. I do have some others that do swivel and never use it, but thats just my style I suppose.

+1 for praise of the 7506. Sound is excellent, you will hear every little fuck up!

They're also very comfortable in comparison to other cans I've tried like, the 700's or the technics. The 7506 are super light and ear cups completely encluse your ear blocking out alot of outside noise.

i got the sony v6's as my first headphones and after using them for a good deal of time, i can say that i feel no need to upgrade. not having swivel is not a problem, they sit comfortably and are stable when you just push a side behind your ear. they sound great too. my roommate always tries to steal em to watch movies on his computer with cause they sound so nice.

see how steve lawler is doing in that avatar above? I have a habbit of doing that from time to time. Without swivel...that is not possible right? My current phones act like they might break if i did that
