Thanks guys. I looked on Amazon, and the Sony ones are $85, but with 4.6 out of 5 stars and nearly 1800 reviews. Given that both are within my price range, would you say the Sennheiser or Sony is better? I'd love to have the quality of the Sony pair, but I'm a bit worried that they'll bring out imperfections in game audio I don't currently hear. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I've never used a high-quality set of headphones except for stage monitoring while playing with a band. Might the Sony headphones reveal things about my audio I'd rather not know? <smile> I can only get one or the other. Plus, as I said, I have to be able to wear them for hours at a time with minimal discomfort. > On Nov 24, 2014, at 5:53 PM, Aser Tolentino <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Alex, > For audio editing, I use around-the-ear headphones, Sony MDRV6s, that sound > great.
