Originally posted by DJ RJT I've played on both, and there's no comparison, the 7506's absolutely destroy the Tech's. I love my 7506's.

You switched after the pio's broke? Cool.

Now when you come out here we just have to not get ours mixed up

Yeah dude, because I for sure don't want your c00ties...

uhm... v6's ftw.

i love them hardcore

I haven't tried the Sony 7506 but i owned a pair of Sony 7509 and it had great sound quality like the Sennheiser HD25 i own now. The sound of the Sony's were a little more dull but the bass were more present than the Sennheiser HD25.

The Sony 7509 is a bit clumpsy maybe due to the size and weight of the cans but they sit tight around the head and without getting my neck hurting when resting them around the neck so that's a good thing if comfort is important.

The Sony 7509 are a bit bigger than the 7506 but i think they are more suitable for studio use than the 7506.

yah... me too! i think i'm going to be buying a pair of those very soon. the difference between playing with your 7506's on Saturday night and my V600's tonite was soooo insane. i couldn't even mix with the V600's because of how muddy and bassy they sounded!! like i could beatmatch fine but it just sounded sooo bad compared to the 7506's, and if a mix started to fall off it was really hard to make the correction because i couldn't hear certain elements well enough.

... I have no idea how you can say the v6's are muddy w/ regards to bass... They are the best cans I have ever used.. never gonna change..

i have the V600's, not V6's.

edit // if the V6's are the same thing as the 7506's then why the difference in price?

-1 for my reading comprehension..

haha, no worries... i get all the model numbers for stuff like that mixed up quite frequently.

The only differences are that the 7506's have gold plated connectors and a blue sticker, the V6's have a silver connector and red stickers.

Apart from that, they're the same.

Yeah, that and they're way comfier than those bulky plastic cans...

got mine today. i've only listened to a couple tunes with them so far, so it's not like they've broken in properly yet, but so far i'm digging these. they're comfy as fuck at least. will give a better opinion later when i've had enough time with them.

Originally posted by dj_palm i want these headsets but its kinda hard get the right deal for me. live in norway. outside EU.

If you live in Norway, get some headphones by Ultrasone, Sennheiser, or Beyerdynamic. Each of those guys has some decent DJ headphones...

I dislike my V700's for mixing. The bass is very powerful and often drowns out the rest of the song and creates too much pressure on your earsm, making them hurt.

I might have to get some 7506's

so far the sound is great and they're still the most comfortable cans i've used. the sound isolation could be better though. especially as i'm used to the isolation of the sennheiser hd280pro. oh well, i guess you can't have everything.

Exactly how do they compete against the HD-25's?

Getting me new headphones along with the X:3D this Christmas and was wondering which I should go for.

Heard the Ultrasone were a pretty good buy aswell.

my 7505's broke over the weekend, so i've switched to my 7506's. Must say they feel so much niceer around my ears. The only thing I dont like about them is they don't swivel, so I find it hard to cup one earphone between my ear and shoulder, anyone got any tips for how to overcome this?

I have this one as well, also very happy with them, after 1 year of using it

I don't own these but I was wondering the same thing.

Can't you just twist them on your head so one can is over an ear and the opposite is sitting behind the ear? Thats what i do, no need to cup it against your shoulder theres enough spring in the headband to hold it there really securely.

+1 thats the easiest way to use them.

Ordered these today...

to kick the focus back in the right place

plus i figure this is good info to know

in a side by side comparison, my 7506's sounded a bit more defined and crisper than j:/digital's v6's

Spooky. I came to this forum tonight to pose the question:

Can someone tell me how much difference the gold plating makes on the plug of the 7506s, as opposed to the standard plug on the V6s?

What do I find? The very last post posted (above by Tony Morello) states an answer to my question. Wierd.

Does anyone else have any input on this?

I assume i am correct in stating that these cans use the exact same drivers and the only difference is the gold plated plug....?

Cheers

yea, the difference is the plug. its only about 20 bucks more. its a tiny difference, but nothing you can tell when playing out on a loud system.

i've gone through 4 pairs of cans throughout the years and the 7506s are the best i've had. the senns are a close second. i really enjoy the confort of the 7506s, esp. when i'm playing for more than 2 hours
