Also, not to run your thread off with my own questions or anything but I have been looking for some good quality headphones. What do you think of the Sony MDR V6? Or do you, or anyone else have better recommendations?
Just curious what I am missing out on.  |
The normal The Wall CD has been normalized for a general audience. The version I have is a direct copy from the masters. It will have more dynamic range than the version you have. Think little details missing or that don't stand out very much in your version will stand out in mine.
Headphones are a touchy and personal subject. Best plan is to listen to your stereo and gather an idea as to how you would like them to sound, and then go listen to some. As for Sony, Sony really doesn't make anything good anymore. All they do now is bank on their name to sell product, but if you actually open up anything they produce, it is typically cheap junk for components inside. They did used to be good in the 70's though, so if you are after older equipment, older Sony stuff usually is pretty decent and reliable.

PS. If you want one, this bid ends in a few days - currently at $200. It will probably go for double or tripple that. I'm guessing at least $450:
