  1. Anyone here ever owned a pair of Sony MDR V6s?



    I just bought a pair today for AU$100. Read a few reviews and seems there is a general consensus that they are just about the best headphones you can get for under $150-200. I guess they've been around long enough to prove that they are decent (released for the first time in 1985), but I'd still like to see if anyone here has had any experiences with them.

    Going to these from a pair of 2010 Bose AE2s

    so it'll be interesting going from the mid-range bracket to the $100-bracket. I like the AE2s and don't have many complaints but need to upgrade the ear cushions and the headphone cord which was going to be about $20-30 plus $10 postage so the new set wasn't much more to be honest.
  2. I think that my grandfather might have some of these Sony at his recording studio. Never paid attention to the model name but I recall seeing them (or similar ones). That said, if I were to judge just from the external looking (without knowing specs), I would take the Sony over the Bose anytime
  3. All the reviewers and even Wikipedia mentions that the headphones were very popular for professional audio engineering, so it definitely wouldn't surprise me if they were in his studio!
  4. They might be an older version, though, I remember them having a straight 1/4" connector, not a 1/8" with a 1/4" adapter.
  5. Yeah, as I said, this model has been in production for 28 years!
  6. So so close Windows Phone but it has fallen to bits. No variable playback speed in the media player. I listen to all of my books and podcasts on 1.5 times speed and it saves me hours. Nexus 4 it is.
  7. No mod available for that?
  8. And there goes Nokia. Mission accomplished Elop. I have no belief in Microsoft doing the Nokia name any justice. Sad.

  9. There is an API which allows you to set the playback rate. But the default media player doesnt use it. Dont know if there is one that does.

    WP8's API is clear and concise, but lacking a lot of low level stuff.

  10. I believe that this is a good thing, as long as Microsoft keeps hardware quality of Lumia *20 generation. And remember that Elop put Nokia back on its feet...
  11. Microsoft couldn't make WP attractive to OEM's. How does buying Nokia change that? Windows Phone doesn't have a hardware problem, it has a software problem.

    Nothing seems to use it. Audible is a deal breaker for me. The variableb playback speed literally saves me tens of hours each month.
