Editorial Review:
Step up to a higher level of quality sound. The MDRV6 headphones boost a 40 MM Diameter Driver for Deep, Accurate Bass, a flexible folding design for easy portability and a very comfortable fit. PRODUCT FEATURES: 40 MM Diameter Driver for Deep, Accurate Bass; Circum-Aural Design Reduces Outside Noise; Folding Design for Easy Portability; Oxygen-Free Copper Litz Cord for Low Noise; Stereo UniMatch Plug for Indoor and Outdoor Use; Wide, Padded Headband for Long-Lasting Comfort.
The Sony Monitor Series Headphones are ideal for professional audio artists ranging from DJs to recording engineers. The 40 mm driver delivers deep, accurate bass and broadcasts a broad frequency range. The circum-aural design cuts down outside noise while giving your ears comfort, and reversible swivel earcups also help keep your ears comfortable. A copper-clad aluminum wire voice coil enhances movement of the PET diaphragm, and an oxygen-free copper cord keeps noise down. The cord is 10 feet long, making it easy for you to concentrate on your work rather than being hampered by a tight, restrictive cord.

20+ Years of Use:

Do yourself a favor and remove the iPod headphones once in a while and plug these in...it's nice to welcome back bass into headphones--something those little white earbuds tried to make us forget. I know there are plenty of other headphones out there, but you won't go wrong with this set.
I'm hearing things (in a good way!):
Let me just start off by saying that I do not consider myself an "audiophile." I cannot give you a highly technical review of the lows, highs, and midtones that the MDR-V6's produce... I'm just a guy, obsessed with having my music sound great (whether it's coming from my computer, my iPod, or some other device). If that's you, read on.
