Two serious bits of headphone listening hi-fi. First off I have a pair of the classic and highly revered Sony MDR-7506 headphones (Also known as the V6 but the 7506 are more expensive), these can be seen here http://www.zzounds.com/item--SNYMDR7506 and their legend can be read about here http://www.audioreview.com/PRD_118049_2750crx.aspx

They can also be read about on any of the Headphone forums banded about regularly such as www.head-fi.org or www.headwize.com

They are a few years old now and as such have some slight ear pad wear on the edges (normal for this model), and some slight wear and tear marks around the headband. On the whole though they are in good condition, buy some new pads for them (quite cheap from Sony) and they will be almost as new again.

Second part of the combo is the Pro-Ject Headbox, this can be seen and read about here http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/moreinfo.cfm/Product_ID/1389 It is a great sounding and pretty bullet proof bit of kit, it also allows you to plug in a second pair of headphones for someone else to listen to, at whatever volume they choose. It can also accept three different sources, selectable like a pre amp. I bought this just before Christmas and have just upgraded my amp; it is in as new condition.

I'm really only interested in selling both at the same time as a package, I believe that's how they work best (but could at a push be persuaded to split and/or price drop). So if you are interested drop me a line - I ask £130 for the pair ONRO. As you can see, new the combo would set you back approx £225.

Cheers,
Rick
 
I'm interested - £130 for a headphone setup seems like a good deal. You got links to any reviews of the Pro-Ject Headbox? I haven't been able to find much about it on the net?

Going by your avatar you've upgraded to the Creek.. :)

Hi Michael,

Yeah I thought it was a pretty good price really (Given the Headbox alone cost me £150 six months ago) but not had much interest. I've found these comments:

To be honest though it hasn't had the best reviews from people in and around the headphone forums :confused: Just goes to show everyone's tastes are different, I feel the Headbox gives the Sony's a much more airy sound and the selector is a real plus - but that's just me.

I won't be offended if on the basis of the review you don't fancy it anymore, just let me know :)

Best regards,
Rick

PS - Yep, the Creek is winging it's way to me as we speak :JOEL:
