Adding to the small but growing chorus of over-ear 'cans.' I have an MDR-V6 and a 7506 -- and want for nothing. On ear is damned uncomfortable and I shudder when i think of putting something in my ears. My son with his ear buds - he can keep 'em. I can wear the V6 all day with no discomfort.
Postscript: i just ordered velour cushions for the two Sony cans. Can't wait. That will be Nirvana.
