- I am planning to buy a pair of headphones to go with my Kenwood stereo
- system (receiver KR-V8040 and other components).
-
- I have looked at the Sony MDR-V6 ($69.50) and Sennheiser HD-150II (?)
- ($79.50). Here's how I compare them -
-
- Sony MDR-V6:
- - more comfortable ear pads
- - sleek looks
- - lower THD
- - cheaper by $10
-
- Sennheiser HD-150II (?):
- - slightly better sound
- - straight wire (as opposed to the coiled one in Sony)
- - replaceable components, such as detachable speakers, pads etc.
-
- What have been your experiences with these headphones? Are there any
- others I should consider too?
-
- Thanks.
