Warm: Sony Mdr v6 Headphones $67 shipped!

[TheToddler]

Just to clarify, a lot of people have been saying the only difference between the 7506s and the V6s is the gold plug and the stickers. I happen to be a professional in the music business in Nashville, and the 7506s include a schematic with a parts list so that you can do field service on the phones if you ever need to replace anything. Not that a lot of the people here will care about that, but it is a feature. As much as a working musician or engineer will plug & unplug his phones every day, it's nice to be able to easily replace the cord assembly from time to time.

BTW, I happen to like the stock pads. In fact, I haven't seen phones with velour earpads in a recording studio since the 1980s.

To get the Beyerdynamic DT250 velour earpads, call 800-293-4463 and ask for them. The price is $17 and a fixed shipping of $5 to all of US (plus tax for NY residents). To remove the stock pads, carefully pull them off and the glue should give. Use a butterknife if you think the pad itself is going to tear and just ease it off. Applying the velour pads is the same as the stock pads went on; get some glue and you can do the rest. These give a nice improvement in isolation over the stock V6 pads, and not to mention the added comfort/dexterity improvements.

yep - I happen to like the stock pads on the headphones. but I happen to love the pads that I have on them now. I am sorry you have not felt comfortable headphones since the 80's. If you happen to wear these headphones alot and they arent the most comfortable then I suggest you check out beyer 250 replacments. It is easy to take the stock ones off btw. just slowly pull em off.
