eh... I've been producing (remixes, edits, ect.) for more than a year on 15 year old MDR-7506 phones which are very close to the V6's.. I use these for all of my initial sound design and tracking. I then use multiple pairs of monitors for the mix-down phase.
My recommendation... if you don't have any decent headphones, and by decent I mean anything that produces the full frequency range 30/35hz - 18/20khz, then this should be your first priority... I would buy the 7506's again without a second thought as they have gone through 15 years of DJing with only minor repairs. That said, if you have a decent pair of phones, then keep 'em and get yourself a decent pair of monitors with a flat response curve... Since you're producing bass heavy music, you will want a pair that has decent bass response with a flat response curve.
Hope this helps
