The only difference is the magnet in the drivers as far as sound is concerned, but more importantly the 7506 has a 'pro' very long coiled cable while the V6 has a shorter, straight cable.

From what I understand, the V600 is not in the same league, but you should check that at Head-Fi.

My V6 has a coiled cable; it looks like the one pictured at http://media.headphone.com/productphotos/large/0020550006_52...

Whoops, I guess I was just wrong about that. It was the only reason I bought the 7506 over the V6, but I guess I was misinformed somewhere along the line.

I have always read that the only important difference is more bass emphasis in the V6's as compared to the 7506's, which have a very flat response.

You're probably thinking of the V600 which has heavier bass and swiveling earcups for DJing.
