All user reviews for the Sony MDR-7506

Rapidos little message ...

I bought this headset a while ago (in 1863) (well. .. not 2001 <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" /> ), I worked for 2 years ...
Mixing / making voice ...
The sound is not neutral but still surprising ... honest to work with dignity ...

However the headphone I drop her like the previous opinion <span class="reviewAuthor">arakno1</span> ( ../../../../membres/a.play,u.416715.html ) ...
I slammed a listener but yet I do not think pushing that much ...
Only guaranteed over ... trash ... A check can be bad end a series ...

Comfort level is not bad, bearable 3 or 4 hours max according to my recollections ...

These are musicians ...

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.

A classic.

I use this headphone for 4 years. Actually no, I bought these headphones 4 years ago and less I use the better I feel. It was my first headphone "pro". I was persuaded because everyone said it was "a reference". Indeed it is a reference in marketing term. This headphone is popular then it is worthless.

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.

On top of that, mosses are of very poor quality and destroy (literally) very quickly. Sony will then not be ashamed to propose the replacement of mosses to 19 € ... Unit !!!!!! € 40 to restore the headphone rotten (yes because if foams are eaten, the headphone low loss and comfort).

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.

I use this headphone now for almost 2 years and for me the reference studio headphones 2000s. it is the most accurate and renders perfectly the mix of a song, but watch me say that if you buy this headset for listening to music at home or play hard as a DJ in a nightclub. I think that's what you need (the HD 25 is better for that) because this headset is primarily a tool rather than a CONTROL MIX high-end headphones to enjoy listening to an album because even if the sound is super good this headphone appears to have been designed to have better control of the frequency when have finished mixing a track in the studio he has a sweet bass headphones HI FI standard. it is also ideal for a drummer or a singer taking or other musician who prefers to record with headphones, the sound reproduction is perfect

a bomb that headphone!

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!

Sony’s MDR-7506 are a set of professional level recording studio headphones. Sony has a ton of different headphones to choose from on all levels, and the MDR series of headphones are probably their most popular. The MDR-7506’s in particular are a great set of headphones. They’ve got large diaphragm speakers and are great for variety of applications. I’ve used these headphones for monitoring during recording and nothing else so far. We’ve got a pair of them on hand at the studio where I work and they’re pretty much constantly being used. 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.

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 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.
