Great video. I don't mean to pry, but I actually worked for Sony during the 1990's-2000's, and I still have my pair (# 091) from the series. That "leather" box you have came inside of another box, a plain white carboard box that had the edition number stamped on the box. I still have the original packaging. Although, as you mentioned, the 350 headphones where given to Sony employees, that isn't 100% accurate. I actually worked in the department that managed accessories. Many of these headphones were given as gifts to special accounts (buyers, marketing managers, etc) Do you know what office the person who originally owned these headphones worked? At the time, Sony had offices in NYC, several locations in NJ, in Pittsburgh, and San Diego. I worked in NJ. Considering the 1,000's of employees who worked in NJ alone, these were NOT given to all employees! If I recall correctly, I received my pair as a reward for my service to Sony. Glad you mentioned the Gold Plating, which differentiated these special edition headphones from the regular MDV-V6 headphones. . If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for these? I see regular MDR-V6's selling for $500 on Ebay. This model is a special edition of only 350 headphones, thus unless you had a connection to Sony, you could not acquire them. Brings up another intriguing question. How many of these 350 headphones are still 100% intact, with all original packaging, and still in working order. My set is!
Nice there are just Sony MDR-V6 headphones the number one headphones used in recording studios for over 30 years. I have a pair and I bought in Dec 2006 and they are still amazing. I recently replaced the Headband assemble, cord, and ear pads. Now my Sony MDR-V6's are like new. Use them and enjoy!

They are certainly made to last and the build is awesome 🤗
This is really just epic...
Thanks for showcasing such a rare headphone edition. Also nice to see another Z Canvas user!
The Z canvas is still going strong 😊
@@ostristudio5670 Besides the graphics performance, the CPU holds up very well to modern chips. I really wish they'd do a follow-up.
Same here I wanted to see a follow up, it’s been great so far for all my needs 😊
I have #119! They are amazing! Hope you got a good deal on them!
That’s awesome, they are for sure a rarity 😊
Are they for sale ?
Thank you
funny thing is that i got these for 4 dollars on a flea market, kinda sad that they don't have earcups and a case, only the headphones
