In look for some new headphones

So I’ve had my MDR-V6s for…over 5-6 years now. They’ve served me well. The padding on them has gone to shit. I had bought some replacement pads, but they were extremely uncomfortable, and I am much too lazy to return them and buy a new pair.

I am looking for some headphones with similar sound quality/signature to the V6s. I use it for pretty much all my activities: gaming, videos, music, etc.

I really don’t want to spend more than $40 (cause I am sure I will get around to getting better earpads for these sometime), and kinda just want something new to use.

Open or closed?

if open go for the Philips SHP9500.

also I'll give you a tip for replacement pads, get a pair of ATH-M50 velour pads, they fit perfectly on the V6's and are comfy as hell.
