Sony MDR-7506 Reviews

very comfortable to wear for long period and of very good quality.

Got it for 2 years, everyday use. Does the job perfectly

Extremely good headphones for a good noize supression and neutral sound. Got it for 2 years now. I have 2 of these, never let me down.

If you're looking for good studio headphones or field headphones (video setup, sound monitoring). This is a great product. Did not even had to fix the jack cable, it's still there after 2 years of everyday use (4 hours/day i'd say).

I bought these to use for playing the guitar without waking the entire house, and for that purpose the work very well, although I do most of the time tend to just play completely unplugged if I don't want to did disturb anyone.

The sound of these is crisp and clear and they do deserve the label of studio monitors as the sound is indeed very flat and neutral.

They are fairly light on the head and breathe fairly well, but they're far from the most comfortable headphones I've used, but then again I'm comparing them to headphones that cost four times as much, and that's not really fair.

The only real complaint I have is the weight of the cable, because it's really quite hefty and it feels like it pulls the headphones down when you wear them, unless you have the cable resting on a table or something.

I also noticed that when I hooked them up to my headphone amp there is a very audible and rather distracting hiss, which I assume has to do with the impedance of the headphones as that's not present at any other time, and thus isn't really and issue with the headphones themselves, just something to keep in mind.

All in all though, for the price they are definitely good headphones that appear to be of good quality and they seem like they might last a long time, although they haven't been in daily use and as such I can't really comment on durability, but they don't feel flimsy at all.

Good overall headphones

I use this headphones alongside Audio-Technica M50, when working with somebody else and they forgot/don't have their headophones. Compared to M50, they have a bit more clear sound, especially in the mid-high high frequencies. They are not as bass heavy as M50, but I find them more accurate. They leak sound a bit more than M50 and produce less volume on same settings. They can still be used with telephone (those that even have headphone ports :).

The build quality is good, but might not survive rough handling or accidentally pulling on those small cables connected to speakers. With normal, respectful use they should be fine, the ones I have are still in good condition.

I think these are nice headphones, but not my favourite.

A great pair of headphones

I am very satisfied with these ones. I bought it for the purpose of building a home studio and starting own production, and these proven themselves as a great buy. The sound is clear and crisp, bottoms are well rounded and extra lows pack a significant punch. Maybe the overall sound can be perceived as a tad low in power and that the phones could be a bit louder, but the quality overcompensates for it. The sponge covering the speakers is very well made so I can keep them on my head for many hours without any sign of fatigue. If you're tight on budget and cannot afford some 200e+ phones, these are the ones you should go with. Also, being closed, there is almost no leakage from the speakers outside, even on blasting level.

Number 1 for comfort

Comfortable to wear for long periods of time, I had many pairs of headphones but these one lasted me the longest, 15yrs and still like new,

Won't be disappointed, highly recommend

My favourite headphones!

I love this headphones for DJ'ing, studio activities, ENG camerawork, ... for everything!

Sound reproduction is good and representative. From quite low to the absolute highest frequencies, the headphones is well behaving and sounding lineair.

After I've bought this headphones, I had 3 more colleagues who have bought this exact ly the same MDR-7506 after they had heard the sound from my MDR.

Good for tracking Vocals

They are very bright like my yamaha hs 5. Very ergonomic and weights almost nothing

Great headphones

These are a great pair of headphones which I bought for tracking, mixing and general music listening. They are very comfortable even during long sessions and sound incredible. The low end is deep but accurate and the high end reveals so much detail. When turned up loud however, the high end can become quite piercing and fatiguing so if possible, try before you buy. The top heavy frequency response may not be for everybody.

I considered the very popular Audio Technica ATH-M50's as another option but found them to be too bass heavy with added high end to compensate. Even with the Sony MDR-7506's exaggerated high end, I found them to be more accurate than the Audio Technica's. This coupled with the Sony's lower price tag make them the better choice in my opinion.

Overall, an excellent pair of headphones!

Best Sound For Best Price

It's The standard the classic. It's the cheapest minimum you should buy. In my opinion. Great Choice

One of the best of its price range.

Very good sounding headphones for Dj'ing and for listening to music as well. Comfortable enough for a couple of hours (not healthy to listen to more than that).

Professional sound and good comfort

The headphones have a great quality and their sound is outstanding. The only problem I see is that, after some months of not so heavy use, when I use them, I can hear a cracking on the moving parts.

Probably the best quality headphones I've every used. They sound amazing and have a brilliant build quality

Bon choix si vous aimez l'aigu!

Acheté pour faire du monitoring en live, il fait bien le job, il est assez confortable à porter.

Le casque est bien construit et paraît solides.

Attention néanmoins si vous comptez l'utiliser pour faire du mixage, il n'est pas neutre et vous aurez tendance à tailler dans les aigus.

Professional... Old school.

For studio maybe the best product!

Very satisfied - good sound isolation

I use these headphones mainly for adjusting the aux mix when recording rehearsals.

Good sound quality and isolates the sound well.

Like the screw on Jack from mini jack; solid.

Comfortable to wear and good cable that does not get tangled up.

This one is a keeper.

these are soo good for the price

I dont think you can find better headphones for this price! nice to wear for long periods of time and sound really detailed . nice for making tunes with !

Good Headphones

If you want flat studio headphones, you can't go wrong with these. The price is alright, and the build quality is good. The cord could be shorter, but that's really about it.

One of the best for sound recording

I use them for sound recording and some sound editing and i cannot wish for something else. very well isolated.

Cons: The cable is not removable, but i didn't have any problems with it so far.

Sony MDR-7506 feedback

They came out in a box with satin and everything really nicely put. Japanese not only respect themselves, and generally audio mastering engineers, but also other people in all 5 corners of the world.

Pros

Beautiful sound, from deep bass to high end, very crisp, and they're a joy to have (for only 95 EUR, that's amazing).

Really recommend these for proffesional audio producers, sound engineers, radio and broadcast, they're an excellent pair of headphones that really reveal what's wrong with your mix.

I might add this can be a secret weapon for mastering engineers, as they reveal efortlessly the "bad" parts of your mix, helping you choose the right tools to process your sound better.

Cons

no
