A mythical helmet born in the early 80s, with the audio CD. Tens of thousands of recordings were mixed through this helmet. It is neither "boom-boom" or "foil" as helmets "Hi-Fi" with response curve V, or "any medium" such as high performance helmets for disk jockeys. Fineness and sensitivity are nevertheless impressive. No need for a dedicated headphone amp, it accommodates the low power level of a portable player. Acute are perfectly defined and bass well balanced thanks to the proximity of the transducers. The "greenhouse" but rather it is the condition for good sound insulation. A buy emergency before Sony finally removes it from its range. It is thanks to the pressure of Anglo-Saxon studios as Sony continues to manufacture it. His samarium-cobalt magnets are certainly more expensive than at neodynium his replacement, the MDR-7506 that it is lower (less bass and too much mid-high), and sold more expensive! Unfortunately, it is easier to find the MDR-V6. Attention also against the Chinese-ways, many more than the originals. I can attest that I bought on Amazon and from England is a true Sony.
