All user reviews for the Sony MDR-7506

I just bought these headphones in trusting her reputable, so-called "what you mix is ​​what you hear." Well I agree with those who say this is wrong. For mixing, I returned my old Sennheiser headphones, which at least does not m'explose ears. In contrast to the sound as a singer and acoustic guitarist, that he favors the treble or high medium is not a forcment inconvnient because it gives more precision and comfort singing. My feeling hot, a good headset jack, but mixed in mixer. To support use ...

I come back two months of use APRS and I confirm: this headphone m'explose ears because of his hump in the high and medium high. After 10 minutes, I have to put the Sennheiser Epargne to my poor ears. It's not the headphone that I will keep for decision, let alone the mix since despite its reputable, it is not right. In fact it looks like I'm not the only think. So mfiance compared to reputable, nothing beats the fact to try.

I use this headset since its first release, replacing the MDR-V6.
Only its relative strength, for the most "brutal" could be a weakness.
As a professional audio, I tried almost all professional models pro-audio market for over 15 years.
Nevertheless, it remains my "justice" absolute and non-contestable, in quality control as well as in sound recording / mixing / mastering.
His critics are missing probably the "habituation" necessary, in comparison with other monitoring systems to "weight" and calibrate their ears.
If we had that choice again? It's already done: I have three.

I have owned the Sennheiser 280 Pro headphones for 3 years. I was so pleased with my first pair, that I bought 3 more of them. However, I decided that as I need more headphones, I would purchase different kinds. Since the Sony MDR 7506 is the most popular $100 headphone at guitar center, I went with the purchase.

There is quite a difference between the two headphones. The HD 280 Pro's hug tighter to the ears allowing more noise reduction. The Sony pair comes with a nice bag for the headphones which isn't included with the Sennheisers. But I have to say, that what matters most to me is how they sound. Although these are still great headphones, they are too bright as somebody else mentioned and seem to have a boosted 1-2k area which I really don't like. The bass response around 100-240 seems to be more present in the Sony's but I am not sure if it is more accurate. Both headphones seem to have the really deep 40-100 hz frequencies. I would definitely have to take some time learning these headphones before I could mix on them. The Sennheiser's are pretty good for the price and a great second reference from my monitors (Event SP8's).

These headphones are super comfortable, and the fold-up design is awesome. . They sound too good. Pretty much every mix I've ever done with them sounds unbelievably awesome in the headset, but when the final mix is played on another system, there is much to adjust. I guess you just have to learn to compensate, but it seems like a lot of compensation especially on the lows and clarity of it all (as in the headset sounds much fuller, clearer and punchier than the mix really is). If you purchase these don’t get them used, buy new because over time the sound changes on you.

Salut.En qu'ingnieur as sound, and having read the reviews "CONSSO consumers" I do not drive the use of this casque.Un headphone headset and not a MUCH monitor mixing. I do not know ingnieur a sound worthy of not mix with headphones that "any brand" on the ears !!!!. It verifies the mix in the headphones, delays, rverbs the balances etc., but mostly we do not mix with, or is 90 sur100 chance to go straight into the mur.Ce headset is great, flattering trs in serious highlights reverbs "well Equalizer", good grain in mdiums, and pleasure in HF! If you want to please your artists, musician, singer, euse, producer, 7506 ... sony !!!!!, when an artist is cool in the headphone it will give the best of him .. and even what he's all of grace demande.Mais laissont headphones vocation Premire ...., do not make noise with his fucking And he is ....., l! but especially not mix with your monitors avec.Mixer "kind NS10M yamaha" or whatever, and listen APRS To check on 7506, but certainly not the opposite! To finish .. SUPER headphone warranty cost and pleasure of great singers in studio.Musiciens and / ravies.BETON keynote speakers, what else? SONY, You do not have a Walkman version? ???????? for the purists !!!!!

I just want to write these few lines to offset the previous opinion because I do not at all the same review like what.

this is what is noted on the previous opinion:

"The sound is very aggressive, very flattering. It" 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! "

In contrast to this opinion, I find the sound on the other hand very flattering and very dug in the medium! I would recommend for returns musicians who need a pleasant sound to articulate, or just listen hifi! on the other hand I do not recommend it at all in the mix (there is a recurring reference beyer and seems more suited to mixing)

This is a closed headphone, the repisse is very low! it's amazing how I do not agree with this opinion noted above, or you did not use the same material, or I'm Paco Rabanne!

This is just to give my opinion that is opposite to the previous, like what you always compare review (And yes p'tits Trux two negatives: the cord is too short and the atria, which wear out quickly, but the comfort is truly top of head)

edit: I just read the previous opinions, it's incredible, there are indeed two schools: the abused, and flattered!

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.
Its largest default to my taste is a lightweight performance on lack of dynamic sounds trs applications (I use test of Autechre Second Bad Vibel to try dynamic)

As against this evil old headphone. With age, he spent a headphone has a neutral and enjoyable mdiums screaming in acute and becomes unusable for work. Although initially I did not understand people giving me this headphone screaming, now I have the explanation: they test with a little MODELS VCU.

Purchased in 2002 for Domestic use.
Listening to music, sound, mix ...
What I liked right away in this little jewel is its grain and its neutrality. Although opinions of this small proposed diffrent headphones, I find it really is aptly tbouleau trs.
It is true that beginners in the spectrum seems to need editing, but subsequently has become a RFLEX and we finally get used to it.
I really trs emissions often.
Same when I make a journey by train, I take my mp3 player to listen.
Yes, when we had these headphones in your ears, how to iron to small headphones which in addition to not having a low in the spectrum hurt the ears after 15 minutes.
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.

Hey, forget j'alais large jack adapter that apparatre dvice to the small jack. Although not seen all of the same?
Ouaou, Full mouth!
I put a 11 out of 12, just to say that nothing and no one is perfect.

How long have you use it?

I use it for about 1 week and I understand that my opinion is a bit chilly.

- What is so special that you like most and least?

I like the fact that the headphones cover the ears well, it is a comfortable headset, but I preferred the velvet cushions ...
I love the design! Personally I have tried many models in the store (most of the general public) and I have never been enthusiastic about the design often too "big" or too "plastic".
The sound played is obviously good. I never tried to high-end models but I really was surprised with the quality of headphones I've had before. I admit that I totally rediscovered some music.
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

- How would you rate the quality / price?

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

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Certainly

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- What is the particular feature you like best and least?</span>
mdium prcis and acute, clear, Defines. Pan clearly audible and good depth of sound. We hear many investments in front / rear and left / right
The restitution is broad spectrum
As against a big LESS:
ON the sub bass is too low sized and round. In passing on JBL LSR4326 I confirm what I heard on the speakers dj Ghost crap I show all my sub bass speakers that disappear on my kick and become dry and small.
Several solutions:
adapt and prvoir in the composition to the headphone
go back and make between headphones and speakers
to kick my sub and the speakers only
changing headphone
complter with other headsets.
It serves as the head too. Those glasses must suffer APRS 2 or 3 hours.

I was not offered it.
<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- How do you report qualitprix?</span>
My girlfriend has more than 200 pay in a store and fortunately it's a gift because I will never make this gift to the vendors who sold him the award.
When you see the price of OCCAZ ...
<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...</span>
No but despite a trs gift. What is unfortunate is that for the price if I could have known that I would go get me a headphone for a given track or AKG K240 271 (most comfortable), a MDR7509 (more fid on) or a DT 990 (my future in complment MDR7506)

I tried it at several costs:

Low and extreme low swell (flateuses at first tedious long) and a medium with a lot of acute dtail but rather accentus.

Trs a good dynamic.

But a product that lives on its reputable "usurp" and if we see often on the head of artists rather than Sony's is a subsidiary of the major "CBS" and meiux is to provide home rather than elsewhere!

In comparison the 7509 Submitted a different balance but not more neutral.
With normal or low presuqes lgrement shortened but a high mid and treble accentus if it borders on over-stamping!

When another foromeur said Councillor audiophiles delighted with this acquisition, either these people are not, or there is a problem ....

Made his ears and twist relative comfort are O nne can Tolra long enough audiophiles such as costs or otherwise.

Try the Allen & Heat xd53 and you will know what it means monotoring neutral MUCH!!

How long have you use it?

Because the group used in radio where I work, because the advice of several colleagues and users (technicians antenna) and because I was looking for a headphone serious, reliable and quality for both work and music composition listening to music, I purchased this headset for almost a year ago.

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.
