Sony MDRV6

Pros: Encloses the entire ear
Responsive bass
10 foot coiled cord
comfortable for prolonged use.

Cons: Earpad cushions deteriorate (replaceable)

Summary: I have no idea how CNET missed one of the best full ear headphones ever. I bought these headphones at Fry's electronics and have never regretted it. The bass thumps well without being lossy. It is also responsive to the mid and high ends of music. These headphones are comfortable for a full day use although be weary that they do get warm after awhile and produce ear sweat. I did notice that after prolonged use, the earpad cushions detiorated. I would recommend buying Beyerdynamic Earpad Cushions (compatible with the V6). I've been told that they are more comfortable than the stock cushions. These headphones are a definite buy.
