For a VO person recording his own voiceover, which one would you recommend, Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80h or Sony 7506 and why?

I've never heard the Beyers, personally, but I own several pairs of the Sony 7506s. They sony's are very hyped, but if you are not mixing on them and just using them for VO's, that may be a good thing. I was in radio for about 10 years and almost every DJ had a pair of 7506s (or the v600 i think - more isolation). These days, I use them to reference a mix only, and use the Sennheiser HD600s as my engineering cans.
