Sony MDR-7506 Reviews

Years of trust

Got these almost six years ago and I still use them. There are some bruises after tough gear travels, but they still work like brand new. Sitting on a desk in post-production, these can last a lifetime.

Still favorites

I prefer models I had from over 20 years ago as the sound quality was a bit better balanced, but they’re still a favorite and best in class

Super Item

Good quality headphone very very happy

The Best for field recordings

After many years of work I have come to the conclusion that the MDR-7506 are the best for me !

It’s a Sony!

Good closed headphones from Sony. I have a Beyerdinamic D770 and Audio-Technica 50’s. Then bought these. They are all different, but all are good to record in the studio.

Pretty much perfect

I bought these for basic production using a DAW but ended up using them for listening to songs too. They sound brilliant and allow you to hear the music far more clearly - I can now hear even the quietest tracks in the mix. Thus far, I have little worry about the leathery bit deteriorating with use and they fit comfortably with vast adjustability. Overall, pretty much perfect.

Clear sound

I had a pair of on-ear headphones and I needed a good closed-back over-ear monitors...well, a friend recommended the Sony MDR-7506 to me and I could not be happier. They improved my home recording a lot thanks to their clear and neutral sound, I love them both while playing and while I'm mixing. Nice choice!

Love these

Perfect for electronic drum kit, really comfortable and durable

Great quality, but a bit bass-heavy

Overall great quality, and I'm happy with them. They fold really small, the sound is clear and they are comfortable to wear (although a bit warm).

Even though I like the sound quality, I must say that they are a bit heavy on the lows/bass for what I had expected of studio headphones. It is not a problem for me, and the highs and mids are still crisp enough for my use-case, but it is worth considering if that isn't what you're looking for.

Solid Sounds

Used for mixing initially, for which they are fantastic, but I also use them for just listening to music too now. Not for people used to the 'Beats'-style bass heavy EQ but gives and even, clear reproduction of everything. Worth every penny.

MDR-7506's three frequencies are very balanced, and its frequency range even exceeds the limits of the human ear, which makes it

Overall, the wearer still feels very comfortable. Due to the closed design of the headphones, the headphone diaphragm in a closed chamber, ear cushions closely over the ears, ear cups and ear contact area is large, the actual use of what do not feel any sense of pressure, and wear the headphones, the sound will not leak out almost. The owner did not feel any discomfort after wearing the 7506 for several hours, so it seems that these headphones are indeed suitable for professionals to wear at work. But since it is this fully enclosed headphones, so summer wear will still be a little less breathable.

Perfect!

What to say? The history of this headphone speakers for itself! The only thing that could have a better quality: the eat cups. But cmon! For this price you can’t find anything else. (I Even returned a beyerdinamics td-700 pro x after buying the Sony) hands down, Sony!

very professional

very pro sound, is accurate and I would recommend it as an essential for a home studio

Perfect

My mixing and monitoring headphones, use them every single day, Andrew Scheps uses them too!

Replace the pads

Find aftermarket pads and have a better experience. Otherwise top tier headphones for low cost - very clear and surgical. I can hear things that are otherwise hidden in the mix! Perfect for that last few adjustments in the mix.

Excellent headphones for mixing or just listening to tunes

I half live in these. I had a pair of Beyer 880s before, but these provide a much more balanced and focused sound which has allowed me to make better mixing decisions especially in the low mid area. Extremely comfortable. Ideal cable length too ..

Creaking

Sound was fine and packaging etc. was fine. But the headphones were creaking on the left ear everytime I moved my head! Impossible to listen with an unbearable creak in my ear everytime I nodded my head to the beat. Must be a faulty batch

I am absolutely satisfied with this product.

Thanks.

Why did I wait

Yes!

Why oh why did I wait so long to buy these.

I've gotten two headphones, choosing them over the Sonys MDR-7506 and realised that I should have bought these first and be done with the search.

For the price, don't think there is any competition.

great headphones for live performances

keep the highest sound quality even at high volume levels (although of course do not abuse it))
