In what way the DC2's sound better than other good sounding Walkmans?

    No good headphones yet. I'm thinking about getting a Sony MDR 7506.

    I have been reading about them and they look good for monitoring.
    If you want them to simply enjoy the music and not to monitor recording, I'll suggest you something like a Audio Technica ATH-M50x, which many people consider an excellent choice. Another good choice is the BOSE AE2 whcih I think it's the smallest closed over-ear headphone out there.

    If you prefer an open headphone, then I'd go for a Beyerdinamic DT990 which sounds great, or aPhilips Fidelio X2, which many people likes.
    What type of headphone you prefer?

    Thanks for the above suggestions. Will check them out. Not too fussed on headphone type. I listen to all kinds of music so would like something that has an even sound when it comes to bass and treble.

    Aha.
    Closed headphones: narrower sound, good noise isolation.
    Open headphone: wider sound, worse or no noise isolation (and leaking).

    On-ear: headphone presses your ears, distorting the natural way you hear sounds. Smaller.
    OVer-the-ear: headphone is over your head, not touching your ears. More natural sound. Bigger.
