I just did a bit of researching and considered many of these models and ended up getting the Sony MDR-V6 based on reviews but a big consideration for me was the THD plot on when compared to other products. I also ordered the Beyerdynamic velour replacement pads for their headphones that also fits onto the MDR-V6 to aid in comfort over longer periods of time.
