    I use this headset for plusiqurs Annes, APRS have tried many headphones ...
    Initially, the treble is clear, low to normal levels without damaging the rest of the upcoming spectrum.
    Comfortable for hours of use, it insulates well enough to the outside.

    I am as you can Chill a big fan of Sony headphones and the other manufacturers because they too tend to color their sound I got.
    Like the speakers, it must be in the ears and have boss with connatre several times to the quality and default.
    One cost not only allows the aprivoiser.

    Something very nice and convenient is the fact that these headphones are closed on themselves with ease.

    In the least, I will mention only the cable is a bit long for my taste and spiral: bof.

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    Philips SBC HP400 on. Good headphone

    Excellent for me since I ordered the United States. Sure that right now, given the rate of dollars is largely beneficial.

    Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    Different models in store. The most basic model to the Audio-Technica expensive through the Dr. Dre that I found appalling level value for money (and definitely not consistent with the purpose I wanted.


    Use

    In composition, therefore, mainly. Whether for mounting models in Ableton Live and Protools or recording.
    Also used for listening to MP3.

    Sound

    It's not the worst of what I listen to (see my choice for this headphone), but as time passes, the more I tell myself that this is not the best.
    The sound is very aggressive, very flattering. He "earache" after long listening.
    Although broadly balanced, the midrange is (I think) really forward, where the aggressive side unpleasant.

    Squarely hifi/MP3 recommended for listening, it does not enhance the music.

    Recording, the recovery (that comes out of his headphone and goes back into the socket) is frankly important!


    The material

    After two months of use, a jack has been folded in a sheet amplifier, error handling that I recognize (amp pushed against the wall when I forgot the jack plugged back into the headphone jack) but it m has not been pushing very hard for the jack is properly folded!
    The left side was broken. I wanted it repaired with my dealer that I Pigalle claimed that the repair would include replacing the cable complete with re-welding in the headphones for a price equivalent to a new headphone ...

    ... a colleague from work I changed the jack for pennies hardware and now everything works perfectly.

    Currently, the foam earpieces are very flat, and will fall squarely déchictent the headset several times a week.
    Apart from the incident of the sheet, I take great care of my headphone and let such concerns to be desired!
    Many colleagues have their foam completely ordnance (replacing all the same to € 20)

    The port on the head is not pleasant architecture, not painful but not really ergonomic and very narrow.

    Wearers, beware GALERE! I always feel that the ear does not "stick" not perfectly to my ears.

    Otherwise, it seems pretty solid and cord étiro corkscrew is really convenient.


    How would you rate the quality / price?
    I find the price slightly excessive in relation to product quality.
    This is not a "bad" headphone but it seems clear that this is the best.

    Its sound quality is improved and reliability is a bit lightweight material.

    With experience, you do again this choice?

    Hard to say.
    I think I would look rather two separate headsets. For monitoring, something more solid, more comfortable and more neutral.
    For MP3 I went to the Bose TriPod which is much more comfortable and the sound is more pleasant.

    In summary, not a bad headset but for me, he told me unconvinced.

    I bought this headphone because I can not hear my Fostex T20RP outdoors with my portable recorder Edirol R-44 when I catch his in noisy environments.

    It's true that compared to my Fostex, it sounds more musical and less "digital" but in fact it depends on what you did with it. Less bass, treble very far, its linear, so it's great for interviews or singing (mostly in French).

    With Fostex, must "seek" sound in all its depth and all its layers and it demands attention. But once his "found", they are extraordinary. When to Sony, the sound is more obvious, no need to "search", we hear directly evident.

    This does not mean it is universal, far away. To record music, it's better anyway these Fostex - it's not for nothing that I bought three. However, most people will think I prefer the Sony because they can not "find" the sound of the Fostex precisely.

    In addition, he is reticent about the ears for a closed and it is foldable, moreover, makes it easier to cram during transport ^ ^ Its telephone cable with other cables hanging when it comes to untangle but hey .. .

    It is just a bit fragile after just a few uses, this is one of two pads can be removed. They are removable to allow cleaning.

    I will repeat what has already been said but it sounds very aggressive, anything but neutral, it is incredibly tiring, so that working with the music quickly becomes unbearable.

    I have since tried (and purchased) many headphones in the same price range (and cheaper) Seriously, it's the most disappointing of all. Since I am a lover of the brand Beyerdynamic. DT 990 Pro, Pro DT 880, DT 770 Pro are 3 products, each for a different use. It is rare that I really "love" of a mark and there it is.

    One board so ... Do not buy this headset, nor any other Sony if you ask me. This mark this fool really the shit out of people.

    Tiring and aggressive

    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Strengths: it has fishing, it is a correct choice for the sound. He looks solid and well built

    Weaknesses: How aggressive! the high-mids are prominent, dry and hard, and it seems to me to flatter the bass without it accurate, so a limit listening loudness.

    I do not understand the ratings of "good neutrality" in this headphone! It is anything but neutral!

    And again I found it tiring! Bringing me 8 hours straight my Beyer DT-880 without the slightest discomfort, with the 7506 I want to violently remove it after 30 minutes! Note that I speak of auditory fatigue, not physical!

    Bah ... It is OK to catch sounds, although I would much prefer my Beyer DT-770, but closed just as much fun!

I haven’t used them for mixing or anything like that, as I never mix with headphones and wouldn’t recommend that you do either. However, these headphones are good enough for checking mixes on for sure. It’s always good to get as many different perspectives as possible for a mix, and these are definitely adequate for that sort of use even though I haven’t had a chance to do so myself. As far as using these for monitoring during recording, they are basically the perfect set of headphones. They have a great frequency response across the board, especially on the low end, which is rare for a set of headphones. They have a crisp high end as well, presenting an overall accurate picture of the sound you send to them. They are definitely more than reasonably priced, as you’re getting a great set of headphones for less than $100 USD. There are definitely a ton of different headphones out there that are worthy of being checked out in this price range, including the Sennheiser HD 280 Pros which are a favorite of mine, as well as other high end Sony headphones in the MDR series, but definitely make it a point to have the MDR-7506’s on your list of headphones to check out as well. Highly, highly recommended for those looking for an overall great sounding set of professional studio headphones.

    Pros: sound quality, isolation (although it's not enough on stage), sturdiness, very long coiled cable, looks and comfort.

    Cons: protections are starting to wear out.

    I tested several headphones in this price range (Sennheiser, Koss, Bose) and I chose these.

    Good value for money.

    I would buy them again for this price.

    Sony MDR-7506Published on 08/10/08 at 04:26
    The Sony MDR 7506's are something of a standard for headphone monitoring in studios. I have been using them for years. They are quite common, and you will see them in a lot of places. They are closed ear headphones, so you get a pretty good degree of isolation when using them. Not as good as something like the sennheiser hd220, but still good enough for most recordings. Sometimes if a singer in a vocal booth likes a really loud mix, you'll have leakage into the vocal mix, but usually it's fine.

    Obviously the closed ear style will attenuate a good degree of background noise as well, which is nice if youre using them for casual listening on an airplane or something like that. The sound…

    The Sony MDR 7506's are something of a standard for headphone monitoring in studios. I have been using them for years. They are quite common, and you will see them in a lot of places.

Sometimes if a singer in a vocal booth likes a really loud mix, you'll have leakage into the vocal mix, but usually it's fine.

    Obviously the closed ear style will attenuate a good degree of background noise as well, which is nice if youre using them for casual listening on an airplane or something like that. The sound quality is generally very good. The frequency response seems fairly flat, and they aren't too fatiguing to listen to. The bass is a bit lacking in definition, as with most headphones, and of course there's the problem of not really being able to feel the bass like you'd be able to with a good set of monitor speakers. They are somewhat comfortable, given the foam padding on the ear cups. However this padding tends to tear over time, as I've noticed with one of my pairs and others i've seen as well.

    These headphones come with a nice carrying bag, and an adapter for 1/4&quot; connection. They also fold up to be very compact - good for storage and travelling. The cord is very long, and is the coiled type. You can adjust the size on them as well, in case you have an abnormally sized head.

    Overall a very good pair of headphones, useful for fairly accurate monitoring and just listening to music. I'd definitely recommend them, although if you want to spend a bit more there are better headphones out there. These are a good value for the price. I'd get them again, I own a couple pairs.
