Sony MDR V600

Pros: Foldable, case, comfortable, long cord, and the sound.

Cons: Expensive, could feel a bit sturdier, adapter can get lost.

The Bottom Line: If you've got a few extra dollars to spend, pick these up.

Review: Alright everyone, here's the story... It was my twentieth birthday (or Christmas, I don't remember) and my mom wanted to get me a present. For the first time in my life she said that we could just go out to the mall and I could pick something I...

Pros: Crystal Clear, Comfortable

Cons: Difficult to return to case; Case often rips

Review: I originally bought these headphones when I was in the army because I lived in an open barracks with rows of bunk beds and no privacy. I used them to block out conversations and to relax and they worked wonderful. and due to the flexibility of the...

Pros: None, except comfort and blocks out ambient room/environment noise.

Cons: Poor sonic performance for the price

The Bottom Line: The V600 is a poor buy. Save your money and find a pair of MDR-V6 or audition other units in its price range. The old V6 was much better!

Review: I've owned a pair of Sony MDR V6's for a long time - possibly 8+ years and have been thoroughly happy with them for the price. They are comfortable, good sonic performance, fold to a fairly compact package and have survived a lot of business travel...

Pros: Good sound, folds to a compact unit, gold plated jacks, good padding for comfortable wear for extended periods of time.

Cons: Higher price than some, needs a higher powered stereo system to bring out the best.

Review: The Sony MDR-V600 headphones... Well let's see...

Price: About $100 at the time I bought mine in 1996, I am not certain that they are still that high, but I would think that they are in that range still. I thought at the time that it was...

Pros: They Fold. Seem Sturdy. Did I mention they fold?

Cons: Horrible on any source < $2000. Muddy, cluttered, not transparent. Doesn't come close to replacing the V6. Needs equalization to sound even close to acceptable. Needs amp.

Review: To tell you the truth, I was extremely confused when I first visited the epinions product page for the MDR-V600. I had purchased a pair of these 7 years ago and returned them within the same week. Wanting to see what all the fuss was about, I...

Pros: comfortable,good price, great sound quality

Cons: a little heavy

Review: I bought my Sony MDR-V600 headphones about 2 years ago. These 'phones sound great for the price. I listened to 10 -12 different headphones from various manufacturers and finally chose these. When comparing, I found that the sound quality of the...

Pros: excellent value, comfortable, great response and output

Cons: earfoam/padding disintigration after regular use

The Bottom Line: Best-value headphones for multiple uses, professional and consumer.

Review: I have owned several top-rated headphones over my 7 years of DJing and studio work, and can say with certainty that the Sony MDR-V600 heaphones are BY FAR the best value for the money. Their frequency response is excellent, bass is tight and highs...

Pros: They don't completely suck

Cons: Not worth more than 30-40 bucks.

The Bottom Line: If you can pick them up for around 30-40 bucks, go ahead. Otherwise, I'd pass.

Review: I bought these thinking they would be a good update to the venerable Sony MDR-V6. Boy was I wrong.

The MDR-V600 are big on bass, too much so for my taste. The bass seems overdone and excessive. The mid levels seem lacking and stifled,...

Pros: Light weight, Midrange price, great for home/office, over all design attractive

Cons: Extended use provides heat build up.

Review: Sony MDR-V600 is an exceptional value for the $100 price tag. Their light weight form fitting design is ideal for home/office use. I would not consider this item to accommodate the high end consumer or professional market. The Sony MDR-V600 would be...

Pros: super-comfy

Cons: weak bass; needs amplification

Review: The MDR-V600's are a decent set of headphones, but they're nothing to write home about. My thoughts:

Executive Summary
The V600's are classified as "Studio Monitors," aimed at the higher-end market. They're more than enough...
