Sony MDR-7506 5-stars Reviews

With a few small issues, good enough

This is an industry standard, so... I'm probably just splitting hairs. But... The exposed wires are an issue. Should have hidden it, this way they are easily get damaged. Comfort is great, though almost small for me. And I'm not a big guy, and do not have Dumbo-ears. I also never tried to wear it for more than an hour, so after that it might prove an issue for others. Sound is... well as a standard, great. To my ears a very slight boxiness and an extremely small amount of shift from a completely flat sound, but honestly, we should not want absolute perfection, especially for this price. It is more than enough, even at a pro-level, so..

Great headphones for mixing

I have AKG (20 years old) and Presonus (purchased in a bundle but quite heavy IMHO) headphones but needed a really good one to mix on headphones.

Comfort is really good, you can mix for hours with it.

I use it with Sonarworks to have a good flat reference while mixing and sometimes also use it with Waves NX series plugins.

I highly recommend it.

Best all-round headphones

I use these as my edrum headphones and mixing.

They deliver outstanding performance with clear sound detailing. These are the best headphones for electronic drums available for delivering high quality, clear sound reproduction.

These headphones are excellent for accurate monitoring as they offer crystal clear highs, present mids, and a deep low end that allow for expressive playing on electronic drums.

Thy are ideal for all manners of sound monitoring in professional studios. They are an immensely popular choice amongst professionals due to their rugged design and powerful 40mm drivers.

Offering a full-range response with crisp and clear detailing, the closed-ear design delivers both comfort and a high level of sound reduction from external noises.

If you are looking for unmistakably high sound quality and performance, these are the best headphones for electronic drums.

Best headphones for the price!

Great product

No faaults, great quality for the piece

Hands down the best headphones I've ever used.

I bought them just for tracking but have frequently found myself mixing on them late at night rather than my monitors (yamaha HS7's) and the results are comparable as they have a fairly flat frequency response amd a crisp clear sound although they are just as good for casually listening to music on as they don't have that clinical sound that studio monitors tend to have.

I try to take breaks once every hour/couple of hours so as not to damage my hearing or have my mixes suffer because of ear fatigue but I never have to take them off due to discomfort.

I have had them over a year now, maybe more and the only downside i've found so far is that with a LOT of use the coating on the cushion parts has started to flake off but you can by replacement cushions for cheap

One of the few headphones that fit my ears

I wear these headphones at work for hours every day. They feel great and are very durable. I've had other Sony MDR headphones before, they have become my go-to. My ears are a bit larger than most, these headphones are perfect for me.

KILLER OF BEYERDYNAMIC AND AUDIO TECHNICA

If you are considering of getting some beyerdynamic or audio technica, forget them and get this one this may not be popular as the beyerdynamic or audio technica but this headphone very underrated its so flat and natural sounding 100% recommended for producers and artist out there, don't waste your money getting the beyerdynamic or audio technica go with this sony mdr 7506 and it will change your production, believe me.

Great product

Amazing, clear, bright sound! I use primarily on sound design and music production. Very lightweight and offers great portability.

Highly recommend!

Totally underrated!

Probably only a few connoisseurs knows about this already vintage model: used in so many studios and by live musicians and classical orchestras, the MDR-7506 are perfect for your mix!

Very comfortable and the price beats almost everything on the market.

The only one for the job ...

The best headphones for eng use.

good and inexpensive monitors

I bought them last year for my bedroom studio setup, and they fit really well. Not like i am any sound expert, but for me they sound great: everything is very clear on all frequency spectrum.

Overall quality is good, didn't have any issues except for questionable way of headphone folding. Maybe it just me, but cable that goes from one ear to another always gets crammed while unfolding.

As in case with any full-sized headphones, i can't wear them longer than a hour or two. Althought they are fairly light, my ears get weary anyway.

pros: good for studio, cheap

cons: not good for casual music listening, kinda clunky design

Hands down best headphones ive used so far

I'm in the music industry and of all the headphones i've tried these are the only headphones i like so far!

These and the beyerdynamic DT100!

lIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE ..HEAVYWEIGHT SOUND

I bought these after buying a pair of Audio Technica M40X . Both were for use as home studio monitoring and field recording with a Zoom H4n Pro (Black) . I found the ATM40X Very heavy, hurt my ears and had quite a lot of bass. So i bought the Sony MDR-7506 and found them more pleasing to the ear and a lot lighter on the ears physically and way more comfortable.

That said the structure is a little feeble and the small wires protruding either side are an accident waiting to happen. The coiled cable is great for getting across the room but the weight and the fact it's not detachable isn't great.

All in all i'm happy with them they sound great especially in use with Sonarworks Reference Software . They work really well with the H4n Pro shame the cable is so long in that respect but you can always coil it up in your pocket while searching for sounds in the field.

If your looking for studio or field recording Cans on a budget these are for you and you can't go wrong with that price tag!!

Great Quality, Great Price!

I bought one pair in 2016. I've had no problems in 4 years time!

The only thing which wears off quite fast is the headphone ear pads. So, you have to replace them once per couple years time. But of course it depends how often you're going to use these headphones.

Brilliant product for it's price! Must have!

Great monitor headphones

I use it for transcribing music. I had the Sennheiser HD280 pro's before but these Sony MDR-7506's are much more comfortable. Can keep them on for hours without feeling any discmfort. The sound is very neutral which is what you want when transcribing music or recording and mixing. There is a reason why MDR-7506 is considered the industry standard of studio headphones. A lot of quality sound and comfort for a cheap price.

excellent

i love the sound of these. Great for tracking and mixing.

Great headphones

Amazing headphones for music producing. I read reviews about how clear the sound is and turns out sound is really clear. I can hear a lot of small details I never thought existed in music

Best Headphones For Mixing (For ME)

i Have used these for many ears haha. Tried other brands and these just have the best high end and a good low end to boot.

Great headphones

Great headphones, feel durable, very comfortable, sound flat. Originally thought they were quite bright, but not so much anymore, I may have gotten used to them or a break in mellowed the highs.

The only con I have is about the external wires, the lead is clunky, heavy and not detachable, though at a desk it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Also the wires to the L/ R cans are thin and exposed. These are easily serviced if something goes wrong.

EDT250V Velour ear pads fit and feel much more comfortable than the stock pads.
