Feature:
came with a carrying bag, screw on 1/8" to 1/4" gold plated adapter, 3m cord. Basically everything yuo would expect to come with a pair of headphones.

Quality:
These headphones are very well made, I've seen some used for remote broadcasts take *alot* of abuse and still work perfectly. most parts are replacable should they break, however it has a pretty solid construction.

Value:
This product is definatly worht the price, it sounds great, and is durable.

Desirability:
I'm fairly young for a sound technician, however a professional looking pair of headphones can make you also look professional. You could survive with crappy headphones and still make a decent mix, but this is your personal comfort. after extended periods of running sound, you definatly want a pair of good sounding, comfortable headphones. However there are higher pairs out there (at much higher prices).

Sound:
We used to use crappy consumer headphones for our mixing, until I was introduced to Sony's MDR 7000 line of headphones. These headphones sound great, for both live mixing, and listening to recorded media. They are really revealing of the quality of the recorded media. They have a full solnic range, give tight bass, and smooth highs.

Support:
Can only give an 8 because I haven't personally needed their support, however a friend of mine bought a pair of 7506 headphones that came with a piece broken inside, so he sent it back under warranty and got a new one in about a week.

Overall:
Overall a great pair of headphones, they are durable, and comfortable. Definatly one of my better purchases.

Feature:
Does the job, swizel earpiece design messy, fiddly, cumbersome. Speakers are awesome

Quality:
Good quality, I damaged on of the earpiece swivels so that it wouldnt hold properly.

Value:
Best I could find for the price by far, the cheaper ones were all total crap!!!

Desirability:
They are big headphones, they attract attention if you wear them in public (MD in pocket powers them surprisingly well) hope the I have sex appeal even when I can't hear anymore, won't be long before I'm deaf!! (did you say something?!!?!?! speak up, I can't hear you, but i see your lips moving!!)

Sound:
I tested a lot of sony headphones before buying the MDR7505, just kept on trying progressively more expensive nits until I found headphones that could handle volume and bass without distorting at half max volume when connected to my net MD. The MDR7505 produces fantastic sound, uncovering sounds I have never heard before in well known music. Great for techno, trance, drum 'n' bass, and of course heavy grungy rock!

Support:
Sony replaced under warranty, 6 months from purchase date, no questions asked, due to damaged earpiece swivel.

Overall:
They're a bit big to wear around town and at the shops!! Very highly rated by me, the sound is awesome, but I know there is a bigger pair with even bigger speakers, so only a 9 for the MDR7505. I don't know how people can listen to music through lower quality headphones.

these are great sounding and great quality
headphones. From the low frequency to the high
frequency, they deliver a very clean response.
The Quality of the product is sturdy and
rugged. Those who complain about parts breaking
are simply not handling them in a responsible
manner. why would someone run a pair of
these great headphones over with a tank then
complain that they will not play
after such abuse?

Quality:
See the "support" comments...

Support:
The headphones themselves are excellent... just be careful not to break the bit that holds the earpiece to the headband... you can't fix it - and you can't get a replacement for it... you *can* buy a headband kit, which is the entire headband and both earpiece holders assembly... for about $75.00 from Sony Professional... but at that price it's not much more to just buy new headphones. Sony always charges a huge price for their parts... the dirty little secret about them.

These headphones are a huge disappointment. I was extremely happy with the 7504, and when I needed a replacement, looked at the 7505. The earpieces do not fit tightly to the ears and the joints between the headband and earpieces do not stay in a desired postion.
