The MDR-V6 will last forever but the treble is super harsh and the bass is lacking (much of this can be attributed to the stock pads). The HSR-1000s are still quite balanced but they feel much better for casual listening and gaming, and they're also much more comfortable.","subreddit_name":"buildapcsales","author":"spamyak"},{"body":"[Gemini DJ HSR-1000](http://www.amazon.com/Gemini-HSR-1000-Professional-Monitoring-Headphones/dp/B006Y2BI04/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1446818229\u0026amp;sr=8-3\u0026amp;keywords=takstar+pro+80) also known as Takstar Pro 80.
