MDR-7506 : Value for money

10 years ago

I'm using these headphones mostly for mixing and mastering in music productions.

The bass is neutral, kind of low and it doesn't get faded by other frequencies. Mids are a bit saturated which make it annoying to listen to classical music. The highs however, are great. Clear and crispy, like it should be for monitoring. Another thing is that the soundstage isn't great, but that's not unexpected.

Listening to vocals is great and in complex tracks you can easily distinguish the highs, like hats. That's the biggest advantage over other headphones of the same budget, I suppose.

To sum up, good sound clarity overall (especially on highs), but suffers a bit on mids.
