Sony MDR-7506 Headphones

Good when inside my ears, the clear noises when work with any Mixer, i like it

Bought for daily radio broadcast work, and it lives up to the standards I have heard about it. Highly recommend these headsets;

My sound engineer brother recommended these to me, stating he's used them for years and simply replaces the ear muffs! I am able to discern instruments in years-old recordings with fresh clarity. I love them and will suggest them to others. Thanks!

This is the 2nd set of these I've had (the other pair evolved legs). Good, solid cans. They're accurate, lightweight, and comfy as hell!! I've used and seen them used for years by many professional touring audio engineers. And...no you can't borrow them; go get your own, you won't regret it.

i researched for 3 days which under $200 headphones i should purchase, these came out on top over and over again. I now understand why that is, these headphones are very light weight. The 10ft cord is perfect for my setup, I also wear glasses with a thick arm and they don't bother me unlike other over ears i have worn in the past. noise cancelling isn't the best but it is more then enough for me.

not to mention this is the cheapest i have found them. thanks Vistek.

Very clear and comfortable. I use them for transcription and spoken word is easy to hear. I can also wear them comfortably all day.

Very comfortable for long hours in the studio. Great sound.

Great headphones ...would recommend

So happy to get the headphones with a price better than the one posted AMAZON!!! The shipping as well was really fast, to be honest I couldn't ask for more.

These were just as I expected they would be. Price was definitely lower than all other places I have checked, and it arrived within reasonable time and it was very well packed.

Saved about $30-$40 ordering from here. Quality is good. No issues.

Great balanced sound profile. Flat sound helps with editing audio.

Really happy with these headphones. Comfortable on the ear, clear/precise sound and easy to fold for travel.

Love these headphones! These are best for listening to music as you can hear every detail in each song. Great value.

I am not a sound professional, but these headphones are comfortable and work very well. Excellent sound from what I can tell!!

pads seem thinner than they used to be but still my favourite
headphones.

Fantastic closed-back headphones for music mixing and mastering. Flat response. Comfortable and well-made.

As expected, on time, product A1

Love these headphones. Comfortable, excellent sound, like the long coiled cord. Took a long time to get them because of COVID-19 but no taking away any stars for that, not their fault. Would definitely recommend.

I am very pleased with this product. I use them for transcribing court audio tapes, and the quality is very good. Standing up well so far.

Professionally been using these for years. Real like them very comfortable.

It is very comfortable to wear, even after watching a movie for 2 1/2 hours, my ears does not feel uncomfortable. It is a perfect size for me. The sound quality is good, however, I don't know if it is my connector, but when I test it by turning the volume off, I could hear some buzzing sound. Or went the volume gets too high, there are cracking sound. It is more likely my system and not the Sony's headphone that's the cause. But I don't know much about sound equipment and setup. So I can't give a great review since I am lacking in knowledge regarding sound equipment so my opinion would be amateurish at best. However, it is hard to beat the price for a good headphone like this.

Ive been using these to practice guitar and they sound amazing.

Brilliant sound. Despite its old design, the clarity and detail of these headphones never ceases to amaze me. The materials and workmanship are very good, they are lightweight and very comfortable, with soft but durable ear pads. They fold and are easily carried. About the only drawback is the long and slightly unwieldy coiled cord, which is not replaceable. The deal breaker is the ridiculously short 90 day warranty from Sony. After about 7 months of careful use at moderate volumes, the left earpiece has a pronounced and annoying rattle and distortion from some low frequency music, so looking for a replacement and I cannot recommend them. In comparison, at least two major headphone makers feature a 2 year warranty, so caveat emptor!

I have used these for almost a full year. I got these headphones on sale after my previous pair of headphones stopped working. Almost immediately after I put these headphones on I noticed an impressive difference. I was able to do more in-depth audio work because of the quality. The cord has never tangled and these headphones still look as if they just came out of the box! When I am just listening to music (especially EDM) it's just ear candy.

If you are a producer/audio engineer and need a decent set of headphones without breaking the bank, these are a good choice!

Normally, I would write a review and list 5 things I liked, and 5 I didnt. Ending with an overall conclusion - however, for these headphones that would not be proper. Because that would exclude the main appeal of this product - the emotion it brings to your listening experience.

There are a few reasons why people buy headphones.

Some buy bright colorful plastic headphones with a certain letter displayed on each side - in an attempt to tell people they are hip/cool/ and probably a bit wealthy. But for people in the know, it also tells us that those people know NOTHING about sound quality.

Other people, care less about designer good looks for headphones, and more about the sound quality.

If you're person #1 - don't buy these. They aren't instant "street cred", nor will they make you feel like some famous football or soccer player when you're gasping for air on the treadmill at the gym.

Person #2 - definitely SHOULD buy these.

Here is why:

First off, these headphones aren't ugly. They look professional, as in something you might find in a recording studio. They are also build quite nicely, and do not feel flimsy or cheap at all.

You wouldn't know it, but Sony has been making these headphones for nearly 30 years - they originally came out in the 90's. Being studio monitors, they represent a clear and pure audio experience. This means that music will play as the artist intended it, without engineered meddling like pumping up the bass.

There is a big "professional" label on each side of the headphone, and its there for a reason. Record labels around the world use these headphones in their work. These! Not Beats, Not Sol Republic, Not your Apple ear pods (thank god), these.

Sound quality with these headphones is not only pure, but is above excellent.

Try listening to some diverse music, something that has multiple instruments or styles within a single song - I personally like One Republic for this test. Using these headphones, you start to hear instruments you didn't before, such as a soft snare, a hum in the background, or a very quiet trumpet. Cheap headphones just can't pull that sound out, and it becomes lost to your ears. You only hear a bit of what the artist originally recorded, and that loss means everything.

The best way to describe it, is that everything sounds separated yet connected at the same time - like a live concert, minus the screamers and drunks. This is not a mushed together sound, this is the thing audiophiles lust after!

Yes, better headphones exist. But these are already excellent, and unless your ears are incredibly well trained - its doubtful you will notice such a significant difference that would justify the price gap - because those better headphones, will cost at least twice as much.

My only complaint would the cord on these headphones is clearly meant to be plugged into recording equipment - its long and looped, and feels a bit awkward when plugged into your phone or tablet. These aren't headphones you want to walk the streets with, they are more for sitting on the couch or bed and closing your eyes and just relaxing. Or plugging them into your entertainment system for great sound for a movie without disturbing sleeping family members

Note: YOU DO NOT NEED AN AMP FOR THESE. Other brands might recommend you get an amp, which makes mobile listening tedious and slightly dangerous (many people get burnt or shocked when they put their phone + amp in the pocket and the thing starts to heat up without air flow).

Another thing to note, is that if you listen to low quality music - like the free streams on Rdio or Spotify, or low quality Pandora Bit rates - while it may sound fine on computer speaker, these headphones will sound terrible. Make sure you're using high bit rate (check the high quality audio box in settings for whatever music streaming service you use) to have a good experience. Locally stored, high quality , music on an ipod/tablet/pc/laptop will always sound best though.

All in all - if you are looking for great sound, and a strong yet inexpensive step into being an audiophile - these are the headphones to get. Nothing else in the price range compares, and better headphones will cost AT LEAST double.

Safe to say, that I personally, will always have a pair of these in my home!

These headphones produce an amazing sound. it is quite different from your run-of-the-mill over-ear headphones and certainly different from any ear buds you've ever used. The sort of surround-sound effect that a lot of artists record with these days is amplified by the quality of these headphones. They are also very comfortable. the one thing I was most worried about in purchasing some new over-ear headphones was my ears getting too warm and uncomfortable, but I have yet to have that experience with these headphones. They do have quite a bit of plastic at a few of the joints, but they are very solidly built and most areas appear to be reinforced with some sort of metal. The cord is a bit heavy and does not detach, but is certainly long enough to move around any sort of studio without any trouble. I use them at my local college radio station and they are excellent! For the price, I don't think they can be beat.
