Topic: Which headphones would you buy?

[cfbarlow]

Just picked up the Shure E3's, And finally my commute to work is not marred by the din of the Chicago Subway.  What was once loud train sounds compleatly disturbing some of my best live shizz, is now filled with musical bliss.  I should have bought these along time ago.  They sound great, litterally hearing new stuff today on very familiar recordings, while elliminating the rabble that floods the "L"

saying the V6 series of Sony’s are a studio standard is like saying AuraTone speakers are studio standards or NS10 Yamaha’s...don't make me laugh…just cause studios use ‘em doesn’t make them standards, it just makes them tools...

No, it makes them a standard device because many studio's use them, it doesn't mean they are perfect.  I haven't seen any live broadcasts (like Howard Stern on E!) or anything else where i saw the Ultrasone which i'm sure are a fine can, but the V6/7506 has been used in studio's for years, hence...they are a standard headphone in a studio.
