FangWolf 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2003 Hihi, i'm basically a noob regarding headphones. However if possible, i would like to garner some opinions on which headphone i should be getting based on my needs. Basically i would like to get a closed headphone, budget is around $200. Usage wise i guess most probably would be for my portable cd-player, hi-fi and of course computer gaming. Was actually thinking of getting the Sony MDR 7506/V6 headphones after seeing the favourable reviews in this forum here. However Mustafa is out of stock for it and i can't seem to find it anywhere else.... So any recommendations?.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blues 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2003 yeap. low impedance. 1700 sounds great . It has warmth and quite expansive sound for its class. I fell in love with it esp that they're so portable friendly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gryphon1972 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2003 I guess you can always add a portable amp later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evil-zen 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2003 yea it can be driven out of portables easily. i like them better than AKG 501. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Scorcho 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2003 You might want to consider Ultrasone HFI-650. Not the most portable headphone, but isolation and sound is impeccable. I use with my Sony MD player (no amp); works great. Works pretty good for PC gaming and movie watching as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackie 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2003 I just received the Beyer DT770/990 (closed/open cans) this morning and will be trying them out. Personal reviews will be superimposed in my earlier DT880 review thread. If U can wait a while and up the budget, 770 may be your cup of tea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2003 Second bulkie's recommendation - it Sony V6/7056 is excellent value for money with outstanding build quality. Great sound as well for the price - not as good as a Grado SR-60/SR-80 but the grados are open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FangWolf 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2003 (edited) Thanks for the input guys.... i guess my budget of $200 is the max i can fork out... Didnt earn enough during my vacation job to spend anymore.. Not really into bassy type of music, would just hope for clarity and warmth in the music i hear, however the bass shouldn't be too weak either. Hmm, think i'm talking myself into a paradox here... oh well, hee, overall my heart is still leaning towards the 7506, any1 seen it retailing currently elsewhere?
