I wish to replace/upgrade my broken, 20yr old Sony MDR-V404 phones. I have always been impressed with their sound. They are the only ones I have used for 20 years. I bought a MDR-ZX-100  for time being and they not close no cigar to the old ones.

I am not a professional. I use my phones for making cd'swith my laptop: music/movie/you-tube. I like all types of music ezcept for rap and "new" country. For the most part I like classic -rock/hard rock/heavy metal/blues

I have seen the 7506 on sale for about the same as the V6. My price window would be $80-$100.

The earpieces on the V404 basically sit on the ear, while the V6 and 7505 look like they go completely over,( cant think of exact terms), and I think they would probably be more comfortable since I wear glasses. They would block out outside noise better also.

The V6/7506 have 40mm drivers vs 30mm for the V404 so that with the complete over-ear design seems like it would make for more/better bass.

My basic question is: without being able to listen to them in preson, which of the two are going to satisy my ears better?

From reading other forums and reviews I am leaning toward the V6, but I welcome all facts and opinions.

ThankYou

PS. New guy here, first post

Read your welcome PM.  We don't really talk much about headphones here.  Try www.innerfidelity.com.

Hunh?  Very few (if any) here would have heard either of those cans.  You can get all kinds of free advice over at head-fi.org.

Yes.

7506 and V6 are the same except for the gold on the plug.

It has been learned that they are exactly the same headphones.  It used to be that one was cheaper, but if you're finding them for the same price, then I guess everyone's figured out that they're the same.

 

By the way, excellent choice.  We usually treat newbies like shit, but they're usually asking about Beats vs. Bose...this is one of those, "do I want vanilla-chocolate swirl ice cream, or do I want one scoop of chocolate and one scoop of vanilla?" questions.

I guess I am in the wrong place. Funny, I thought it said Headcase.org--Gear--Headphones.I spent most of 2 days at Head-Fi.org but wasnt able to post for some reason. Tried a couple others and had same problem. This was the first forum I could actually post on(  Headphone forum buy the way). You should feel sorry that I wasted my time.  Seeee Ya Later!
