I found the HD25's uncomfortable when I tried them on, and that was for
just a few minutes. As I noted, try before you buy if you can. Fit is a
personal thing.
Sony does a little game with headphones, there is a consumer line and a
pro line. Some models are identical except for model number. As far as I
can tell, the 7509 (pro) is the same as the MDR-V900 (consumer).
Certainly the same specs and fit.
One of the things that attracted me to the MDR-V900 is the 50mm
diaphragms. I like good low end sound.
I also record from the side of the road a lot. Though the application is
different as when a car passes the recording is no good anyway.
