MDR-7506 : Phat not flat headphones

5 years ago

At work, I use Sennheiser DT-25 headphones and they are great for giving me a good sense of the quality of the audio that I am capturing during video recordings that are quite often broadcast across Europe. I bought the Sony MDR-7506 headphones to use in a home studio situation both for recording and mixing. What a difference! The Sonys are, in my opinion, giving me lots of lows and highs with a noticeably scooped middle. In other words, they are not flat. Nevertheless, they sound very detailed and give me all the sonic information I need. I use them to both record voiceovers and to mix several channels of audio for video and I feel confident, now that I've got used to them, that I can add/subtract the required frequencies in a mix. As we get older, our hearing gets worse as we register fewer high frequencies and possibly more muffled lows. These headphones attempt to give back what nature is taking away. Well done Sony. I hope that I can find some spare parts for them in years to come.
