-Frequency response with decent amplification is very flat, but YMMV with high impedance sources. I've run them from phones, HP laptops, Macbooks, and dedicated amps, and they sound great in every case.

-My pair lasted 15 years of *terrible* abuse - if you need a headphone that will absolutely definitely work no matter what, get a pair of these. They sound genuinely good, but the bass response is a bit lumpy and loose in places - if you're listening to anything except house/techno/DnB, though, you probably won't notice it.
109
-Get the velour pads - the pleather standard ones fall apart in a few months of heavy use, and the velour ones are more comfy. You'll lose a bit of isolation, but they improve the lumpy bass response slightly.

If the V6 are cheaper, get them - they're identical to the 7506's. (Well, the 3.5mm plug body's plastic on the V6, metal on the 7506. If you manage to break the V6 plug without the aid of a vice and sledgehammer, I'll buy you a pair of 7506's myself).

There's a lot of snake oil in headphone amps, so be careful. Look for actual measurements in reviews. If your headphone amp has valves in it, then you need to have a word with yourself. Seriously. Stop. Get some help.
