<<Sony also makes the MDR V6, which are virtually the same,
but a bit cheaper. Very slightly reduced bass response, nickel plated
plugs, and a staight cable.>>

The MDR-V6 & The 7506 are the same model, sold through different  
dealers. The 7506 costs about $20 more & pro audio dealers carry  
them. The MDR-V6 is sold through consumer outlets. They both have  
coiled cables. I have about a half dozen of each & I detect no  
difference in bass response. They are both tipped up a good bit in  
the low end which is helpful in editing, but may give one a somewhat  
false sense of rumble problems. This makes them especially good for  
film location recorders where any hint of LF rumble needs to be  
addressed. In either model, this is basically a standard in the pro  
audio world.
