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!

Style of Music: All styles on electric bass

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "BEST headphones EVER"

Sound: The sound produced by these headphones rival any pair Ive ever worn. It is so crisp and clean and every detail can be distinctly identified. I use them when Im in the studio or playing drums to my MP3. They get loud, reduce the live noise from my kit so I can concentrate on my playing and they dont leave my ears ringing. Feature: It has a soft carrying case which is good to prevent dust buildup but I use the phones everyday. It has a 1/4 inch connector which helps me plug it into my Tascam. Ease of Use: The phones produce the natural sound of your equipment. So without much editing and mastering, what you put in, youll be able to hear with the MDRs. Quality: One thing that worries me is the folding capability. Im somewhat of a baby when it comes to expensive equipment and I tend to baby the headphone ear cushion so I dont fold it much. However, the silk-like padding is uber comfortable and hasnt torn on me yet. Ive owned them for 4 years now. Value: If youre a musician and music is your passion, you need to have a pair just like these. I promise youve never heard anything better. Manufacturer Support: I havent needed to contact Sony on this product. The Wow Factor: The phones look cool but Im not so much into the design as I am the functionality of it. Its everything I need to get the job done and I enjoy listening to music through them. Try playing a computer game through them and hear sounds you never knew were there. Overall: until these break down, I will own no other pair, and when they do, Ill buy another one.

Style of Music: punk, emo, classical, drum, rock
