It's the consumer version MDR-V6 that has sizzle.  The 7506 aren't as 
bright.  And gatiguging may have more to do with what's being listened 
through them.

They are, but turning down a bass control helps get rid of that.  That's why 
I like to have several different headphones and regular monitor speakers.  I 
can use the Sony's when I work, but at the end I can compare to something 
else to be sure using Sony's doesn't cause my sounds to be too bass light.

I bought the 50 ohm version just to be sure I wouldn't have trouble driving 
the. When comparing them to the others, the AKG lacked mid range.  And as I 
said before, if I hit the loudness button, it's like piling two loudness 
circuits ontop of each other because of the AKG response.  I just wouldn't 
trust that I'm getting a close representation of my sound through AKG 240K.

But as you can see there are as many different opionions as there are 
headphones.  Isn't that always the case.
