Sony MDR-7506 Wired Professional Monitor Headphones - Black

These are amazing for studio work. I normally mix live events with a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50Xs but I've been wanting a fully flat response pair of headphones for years to use for producing music and boom work while filming. I've had my eye on these for a while now and finally took the plunge to purchase them during the latest sale. They're incredible to use when you want accurate processing, and you can hear every little detail so clearly. I can't recommend these more highly. I now understand why so many people suggest this model. These are amazing for studio work.

Can't fault these headphones. I'm certain they were made better back in the day, but they don't feel cheaper than their retail price. Please understand that these are not for listening to your weird German industrial house pop - they're for the guy who MIXES the weird German industrial house pop. Can't fault these headphones.

I'd read that the Sony 7506's were a popular choice for mixing and mastering but even so was pleasantly surprised at the difference they make for mixing and mastering audio.. Really good in my small home studio and I'm getting much more accurate bass tones on final mixes now using these.

These headphones sound great. Perhaps not as lightweight or comfortable as my last pair of AKGs but maybe that's why those ones didn't last! But you just know these Sony MDR-7506 headphones are going to go the distance - and if they do break they are serviceable with spare parts readily available.
Perfect for music production work - but that heavy curly cord is a bit of a pain sometimes. These headphones sound great.

Sounds great for monitoring purposes and comfortable to wear. Great for live sound mixing as well. Sounds great for monitoring purposes and comfortable to wear. Great for live sound mixing as well.

I've been meaning to get some decent monitors to use with the Audigy-rx soundcard, nominal impedance for these is 63ohm but they can waver in the 80-120ohm zone too, so they really shine when paired with the internal headphone amp on the card. It's long been common knowledge that the earpads for these are adequate enough, but could stand to be improved, the good news is that there's a sizeable aftermarket for them!

I've bought many pairs of these over the years and they are still my favourite headphones to use. I've bought many pairs of these over the years and they are still my favourite headphones to use.

I own a few Sony Bluetooth headphones (an old pair for the gym and one for office). Both have a cable you can plug in to go wired, however, with my electronic drumkit I found the cable was way too short and it was always getting in the way.

After a heap of research, I decided to stick with Sony as they had always been reliable headphones over the years. These are exactly what I was looking for, long headphone cable, comfortable to wear for long periods and sound great!!

These are a great set of headphones for getting your audio adjusted correctly. Very happy. These are a great set of headphones for getting your audio adjusted correctly. Very happy.

I mostly use these for listening to and producing music while I’m away from my home set up.
They are fairly neutral and not over hyped headphones like many other brands out there.
They sound nice on most music- fairly well detailed with plenty of grunt when needed
I like the way the fold up nice and compact into the supplied bag the cable is also nice.
They are a staple in the Sony h/p range and have been around for a while now- and there’s an obvious reason for that. They are just simply good headphones
Highly recommend I mostly use these for listening to and producing music while I’m away from my home set up.

I can see why these headphones have essentially stayed the same over the years, and are still on the market. Great sounds for listening to albums and for nitpicking small audio production tasks. They're also surprisingly good at blocking external noises. I can see why these headphones have essentially stayed the same over the years, and are still on the market.

I purchased these to use with my e-drum kit. They are great for this purpose. Comfortable, lightweight, robust build quality and excellent sound reproduction.
