"Perfect DJ phones, casual listener: pick something else."

Feature:
Headphones with an included bag that I never use. No features, but do you need "features" on headphones? They do fold up nicely and they do include a 1/4 inch adapter.

Quality:
Pretty durable, but the pleather on the ear pieces is deteriorating after about 2 years of use, which is acceptable I guess.

Value:
Pretty good value. They sound better than 100 bucks. I wish the frequency response was flatter though. They are super comfortable, and I'm pretty picky about the comfort of headphones.

Desirability:
These are my favorite headphones thus far to DJ with. That's what I bought these for. I would not use them for casual use without putting the signal through an EQ first though. The bass is okay, but again, too much high end.

Sound:
Disco smile. High end is too high for my sensitive ears, and the bass is too loud. Other than that, these are incredibly clear. I use them to DJ in noisy clubs and they are great DJ headphones. Also, when using them as a second reference when producing music, they are pretty good.

Ease of Use:
Headphones, uhh, how hard can they be to use? You plug them in and put them over your ears.

Support:
Never needed support.

Overall:
My next pair of headphones I will buy will definitely have a flatter frequency response. I love the comfort, enclosed earpieces, and that they fold up nice and small. I don't like the high end on these phones. Older people might not mind so much because as you get older, your sensitivity to high end decreases. But, I have taken very good care of my hearing, so I am pretty sensitive to the high end. Perfect for DJing. Not good for casual listening. Okay for a second reference.

"Sony Monitor Headphones ... Now With Bass Super Special Big Ass Boost!!"

Feature:
The fake leather bag is 'a must'

Quality:
Solder connections must have been done by a drunk monkey.

Value:
More accurite brands are less by $10 at least.

Desirability:
This is a "PRO" product. It could come with a pink wire and I would still not care.

Sound:
Well, as far as some of the reviews from other users...I do not think that you know the difference between studio monitors and consumer headphones. Just because they are expensive does not mean that they are going to be everthing you are looking for. Volume control is a "consumer level" feature. Studio Monitors are just that...Monitors. They are meant for pros, not MP3 players. That said, what happened to flat response? The bass end of these is way out of line with the rest of the response. I will be looking for a new brand for my pro stuff after these have lived a short life.

Ease of Use:
Easier to adjust then their oler models.

Support:
Not Applicable

Overall:
Ranting aside, Sony seems to have blended a consumer product with a pro product. From a Sales and Marketing standpoint, good for them. From a consumer standpoint, don't pollute pro audio with consumer features like "Bass Boost". It defeats the purpose of spending $200 on a good pair of monitor headphones.

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
Sony's Pro Audio department has a real winner on its ears with the MDR7506 large-diaphragm foldable headphones. These 'phones have everything a musician needs for the studio or on the road. We probably don't even need to mention the excellent Sony sound quality, but it's there, with smooth frequency response from 10Hz to 20kHz. Closed-ear design gives you great comfort for long sessions, exclusion of external noise, and no leakage for when you're recording. But that's just the stuff you'd expect - the MDR7506s are also supremely rugged and collapsible, making them the most road-worthy of headphones for DJs, drummers playing to click tracks, engineers, and others. A soft carrying case comes supplied. Stereo Unimatch Plug with 1/4 in. and 1/8 in. applications. Gold Connectors and OFC Cord for reliable and stable signal connection and transmission.
