Rameish 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) Sony MDR-7056 is one of the better cans in the Sony line-up for under S$250. However I personally prefer the Beyer DT-150 - better built and better (more accurate) sound. Edited August 30, 2006 by Rameish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nsjong 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2006 If you can, I would get a hold of something like a Grado SR125 except those are open. The MDR-V6 (or 7506) are fine if they're comfortable for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) I highly recommend Beyer DT150. Believe me, this can has resolution which the 7506 can't beat. I could easily discern the sizes of concert halls with different classical recordings; just an indication of its prowess in the detail department. U could turn professional with it.

papaya86 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Seriously, go with the 2 lao jiaos advice. The beyer 150 is light years ahead of the sony in terms of accuracy. As for nsjongs advice on the grados, i would disagree as grados are pretty heavily colored. Hes using it for critical listening, so the grados are definately out. But i have to say the grados are terrific for rocking out. Edited July 27, 2007 by papaya86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

papaya86 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2007 I havent been in touch with headphones and head-fi for a long time, but from what i remember its about 350-400 brand new, back then. You need good amplification though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
