What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sony MDR-CD900ST Studio Monitor Stereo Headphones

So very light and compact, clamping force is correct. Ear pads look minimal but are quite comfortable.
They are very light and comfortable. I could keep them on for hours.
It is light weight and comfortable for long hour listening, but everyone has different opinion. Some people said it's too tight fit for their heads, especially when they were wearing glasses.
The headphones them self are really light weight and comfortable to wear.
Very light which is great especially if you wear them for long periods of time.

Sony MDRV6 Studio Monitor Headphones with CCAW Voice Coil

They fold and adjust for different head sizes.
While I believe I have a larger than normal sized head, I didn't experience the discomfort that others have.
The headphones them self are really light weight and comfortable to wear.
Reasonably light weight for their size.
The headphone cord itself is heavier than the pair of headphones.
Unfortunately, It is not very comfortable to use for a long time.
That is a lot of cable to carry around coiled up for field work.

What customers say about "Features"

Sony MDR-CD900ST Studio Monitor Stereo Headphones

The headphones are slim and not overbuilt, but the fit and finish is excellent.
When listening to an orchestra play, I hear very clearly each instrument and pinpoint the sound well enough that depending on the recording.
I love them. They’re comfortable and have a high dynamic range that is remarkably clear.
The isolation is excellent and when music was playing sounds from outside was almost impossible to hear.
They are comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time and have survived a couple of bouts of total clumsiness that sent them bouncing off a tile floor.

Sony MDRV6 Studio Monitor Headphones with CCAW Voice Coil

They sound smooth to me across the entire frequency range.
He balance and range is amazing, such that the bass is loud but never over-powers the higher range frequencies. Everything sounds so clear! My ears can separate different instruments or voices in the music better than I ever thought was possible.
They have a great frequency range and are extremely crisp. The binaural sound sounds extremely realistic.
These headphones also have a low impedance (requiring much less power to drive the speakers).
The low impedence allows me to use the V6 with my retro portable CD players (one of them only uses 1 AA battery) with good sound volume. No need at all for an amplifier.
