As a user of the 7506 I can attest to their sound quality and ruggedness.

I’am consider the Sony MDR-V6  
But considering the budget I also thinking on bying a usesed set of Sennheiser HD-201 for € 10,-  
On the other hand prefer to spend 40 euros more for something that last longer.  
Is it also a good buy if I want to record songs at home?

I can buy a Sony MDR-V6 OEM for a good price.  
I only don’t know if a OEM is as good as it original

So far as I know there is no such thing as an “OEM” V6 .. its a tag thats put on MOST fakes though including Pioneer HD-1000, Dre Beats, V700’s etc … and i’m living in the land of forgeries ATM where they are even given grades of how good a copy they are (e.g. Class A fake = couldnt’ tell the difference unless closely inspected side by side with originals)

I doubt these will be original sony, where did you see em’ and at what price, have a look at the thread I posted, its quite hard to spot the fakes without taking them apart.

Sometimes you will see refurbished ones for sale which should come with a sony docket stating it and serial.

- 1 for HDJ500 i dont like the sound quality + you cant hear everything thats going on in the transition, my pal got them in the pioneer 350 package

i used the hdj1000’s which like everyone’s snapped at the swizel joint, so i got the skullkandy headphones which i like but they are not as good as the pioneers, cheaper at £80 quid though
