MDR-7506 : Excellent quality headphones

The first thing I look for in a headphone is of course how it sounds, if frequencies are even, and so on. The second thing is comfort. If I have to spend some hours recording with my headphones on, I can't have comfort related issues like starting to feel pain on the side of my ears.

I mostly use headphones for professional stuff: recording, checking for small noises during editing, and so on. That's the reason why I need to have something as comfortable as possibile.

Sony MDR 7506 work really good: sound is somehow neutral, altough of course you wouldn't use them for mixing, and most important they are easy on the head, I passed several hours with headphones on and I never had pain or felt uncomfortable.

If you are looking for something reliable, solid, ergonomic and not too expensive, go with this.
