I'm a huge fan of my Sony MDR-V6's - I'd love to do a comparison test between the V6's and the 7506's some time.

How do audiophiles get a chance to do this? I've never seen a "headphone store" on a street corner.

I came here to vouch for the v6 as well. With the Beyer Dynamics velour pads, they're just incredible. Comfortable, great all around sound and doesn't break the bank.

In NYC, you can check out Park Audio, Tekserve, and B&H (although B&H had horrible amplification last I checked).
