Sony MDR-7506 Reviews

Professional headphones

These headphones are comfortable to wear with professional quality. But i also bought akg k 361 and i use them more. Mdr sound cleaner but they don't have this nice atmosphere when you listen to music. Sony are better for recording without the feeling of the akg k361.

The industry standart

If you are a musician, sound engineer or performer, you need this headphones (or several indeed). Incredible product! Forever!

Fantastic value and absolute reference

We've used the 7506 headphones since 2014 (6 pairs) in our home studios and for all other kinds of purposes among many other brands of headphones. I promise you will not regret getting these. Unbeatable and just incredibly good, true, monitor sound and (for my head) comfort. Only minus after 6 years of intensive use is the ear cover material starting to disintegrate - I've bought non-original replacements for 8,50€ as the originals cost half of the new headphone price. I ordered a couple of new pairs at the same time to give away as gifts. Heaven.

Not the comfiest but good value

I found these not the comfiest to wear but versus value for money definitely a good purchase sound quality again is very good for the price.

Great quality for the money

These are solid headphones with great sound and good build. Good bass, crisp highs, foldable. Rocommend.

Very Good

Very Good I liked, I use for studio recording.

A true classic!

There are better options, but, at this price tag, it's almost unbeatable.

Great upgrade from HD25!

I've been a long-time user of HD-25 for the location sound recording purposes and never quite got used to the uncomfortable and unnatural, over-emphasized bass boost they produce. While this was somewhat helpful during the live monitoring in order to keep the boom pole handling as smooth as possible, the headphones themselves were unusable for any other application. As a consequence, I often had to carry a pair of my well trusted Beyer Dynamics DT880 to listen to the rushes at the end of the day for a proper reference of what was truly captured.

When I finally had the chance to try out the MDR-7506, I was amazed by how their closed-back technology allows even more analytical monitoring than the HD-25 while offering at the same time a frequency response curve that is far flatter and natural sounding than the one of Sennheiser.

In my experience, Sony's MDR 7506 ear pads are also more comfortable than the HD25 but I haven't tried the new one they recently made available. This impression could also partly be the question of just a more natural-sounding reproduction of Sony.

In the end, these headphones are also cheaper than the HD25 so if you're an HD 25 fan, I would definitely recommend giving them a try!

In Love

I already had one for my home studio, and I've just bought another one for work, cause it's so good.

Incredible value for money. It's really hard to compete with this if you don't need wireless or noise reduction.

It's compact, and delivered with a jack adapter so you can use it anywhere.

The only drawback in my opinion is the spiral cable, which is not very comfortable.

Great Headphones

Very good headphones. This is my second pair. The sound is clear and rich with no extra bass and they can be very good reference along studio monitors. They are also good for just listening to music or monitoring vocals. The only downside are the earpads, but you can relatively easy change them with new ones.

Great Monitor Headphones

Industry standard. These headphones are neutral with a very true sound. Great for monitoring instruments and vocals. Also great for listening to music, if you are willing to take the time to EQ your sound.

fantastic

great for listening to music, not exciting for movies, but for critical listening to jazz and other acoustic music is fantastic.

perfect for music

Great earphones, perfect for using as a plug into guitar amp direct, the earphones have the power to carry tone / bottm end, and they are great value.

Great for the price

One of the most used and recommended affordable headphone. I use the to practice drums as well.

The isolation is not the best, but still quite acceptable.

Totally recommended for a beginner.

pro level headphones

would buy again , comfortable , good sound , good price for this quality

Very good headphones. I use them with my digital piano. The only thing I don't like is the cable.

Love these, sound great to me!

For the price I am more than happy with these which I use for every day listening and recording / mixing tracks via a DAW. Well happy... I use a lot so it was inevitable that the material on the ear cups do wear. Thankfully you can replacements fairly cheap. Apart from that they are still good as new! recommended h-phones for home studios but I know Pros use them too!

good gear for studio work

Legendary headphones

I bought two of these headphones to use in my studio when recording vocalists, one for them and one for me to listen to the performance. It's a really good product for the price but they don't sound really good in the long run.. They are really really bright and the build quality is something you would except for that price. But as I said you can't really find better headphones in the world if you take the price in the equation.

Not for mixing, but for tracking

These are great headphones, but be careful, these are not for mixing and mastering... the fq range is not flat, it has a a big scoop in the highs, and cut at low lows. But they are great for tracking.
