I was browsing Amazon for replacment pads for my MDR-V6 headphones when I was prompted that I had already purchased these headphones 7 years ago. So I decided to review them now. First, this is my second set of MDR-V6 headphones. The first pair I purchased in 1986. 26 years ago and I still have them. They still work and I only bought the second set because I stepped on my first set and it is taped together. Definately not for outside use. But hey, after 26 years on my first set and 7 on my second set with super-heavy use these are the best cans at any price. They sound great, they are light and comfy and are durable. They will take some time to "burn-in" but once they do they will sound great, a tad "bright" but great. They also take a sick amount of power! I have used both pairs to the extreme and they never once blew. Sometimes I just crank my stereo through these headphones and use them as speakers without fear of them blowing.
