MDR-7506 : Great headphones

These are a great pair of headphones which I bought for tracking, mixing and general music listening. They are very comfortable even during long sessions and sound incredible. The low end is deep but accurate and the high end reveals so much detail. When turned up loud however, the high end can become quite piercing and fatiguing so if possible, try before you buy. The top heavy frequency response may not be for everybody.

I considered the very popular Audio Technica ATH-M50's as another option but found them to be too bass heavy with added high end to compensate. Even with the Sony MDR-7506's exaggerated high end, I found them to be more accurate than the Audio Technica's. This coupled with the Sony's lower price tag make them the better choice in my opinion.

Overall, an excellent pair of headphones!
