Manufacturer's Description for Sony MDR7506 Large Diaphragm Foldable Headphones

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.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Great value for the money in a field sound mixer's headphone!"

Sound: The Sony 7506 Studio headphones have become the standard in film and television field sound recording. I've been a film sound recordist for 20 years and prior to using the 7506 phones, and their predecessor the MDR-V6, I used what everyone else used, the Beyer DT 48. The sound in the 7506 is clean and clear. There is a low end accentuation which you have to get used to. This helps me hear rumble and low end hum better in a noisy environment and I see it as an asset. Just remember not to roll too much bass off because of it. Feature: These are barebones headphones. They come with a screw off adapter to use for either 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch jacks. The cable is tightly coiled and connected to a single side. The driver housing is thin aluminum. The ear cushions are lambskin and very comfortable. The over the head connecting rod is covered by padded vinyl. The phones are of the surround the ear design but do little to isolate your ear from outside noise, the way the DT 48s do. In fact, the 7506 phones conduct outside noise well, especially wind noise. If you are in an outside windy situation, you must cup your hands over the phones to see if your mic is clean from the wind. This is hard to do if you are booming too. I'm getting close to designing some windjammer style muffs to pull over each phone to cut the wind noise. Sony, why don't you do this instead? Ease of Use: Uh, you take them out of the package, plug them in and start listening! Quality: The main reason these have become so popular with film and tv sound mixers is that they sound decent and are CHEAP! Compared to the Beyer DT48s which are around $400.00 now, the Sony 7506 phones work just as well. I can buy four sets for the cost of one DT48. I've never had a failure. I've used them for 20 years and I've got some that are still working from then. They aren't pretty anymore, but they still work. All you have to do is purchase the lambskin replacement earpads and your 7506 phones look nearly new again. Sony's quality and fit and finish are high and the phones are dependable. I just bought a new set not long ago and may buy some more. Value: For what I use these phones for, the critical listening of field recording for film and television production, these are a GREAT deal. Again, I would have pay nearly $400.00 for one set of Beyer DT48 phones and those clamp your head so tightly you get a headache a couple of hours into the shoot. Plus, if you kill or lose one of these sets, you're only out a hundred bucks! The Wow Factor: I can't say that these phones are sexy, but they don't look ugly or stupid like many on the market today. And they have a very low profile so you aren't ripping your ears off everywhere! Overall: As stated earlier, I've used these phones, and the earlier model (MDR-V6) for 20 years and unless something comes out better for the same price or cheaper, I'll keep using them. Best value in a high end pro-level field headphone! Try a set today!

"The king of headphones"

Sound: The sound quality of these headphones are truly amazing, Sometimes they even gives me goosebumps due to the truly wonderful sound they produce. They work for all kinds of music, they have no limits at all. Low end bass (i mean really low) is massive, the headphones are almost vibrating, Higher frequencies is no problem neither.. The only time they sound bad is when listening to a bad recording Feature: Dont know what to say here, Its a really good pair of headphones :) Ease of Use: Plug it in and turn up the volume Quality: The quality is outstanding. it truly is Value: ItÂ´s defintively worth more than anything else! Manufacturer Support: Bought them like 5 yrs. ago and i havent had a single problem with em. The Wow Factor: They look good, They sound is great, Quality is awesome.. Cant be better? Overall: IÂ´ll keep these headphones until the day i die

Style of Music: All kinds of music
