Hi,
I'm trying to find a decent pair of headphones as cheaply as possible. Right now I'm using a few AKG and Sennheiser sets that all cost <$30, but I find them sounding very different from listening on a Roland MA-8 or stereo (plus they get uncomfortable). So far I see recommendations for the Sony MDR-7506 and AKG K240S ($100 ea.). But some reviews say the Sony MDR-V6 ($60-70) has the same specs as the 7506, and a lot of people (albeit those who buy for music only) recommend the Grado SR-60 ($70) over either $100 sets. Is there some advantage to the 7506/K240S that would justify the price difference for mixing/monitoring? Thanks
