Value For Money :
Excellent
4-5 years ago, I (do) had available (that) a Beyer DT911 (excellent in many respects, for any other use. I care!) I considered buying a headphone more closed (if possible too), less velvety, lovely, or more "uncompromising" bearable during long periods of work for the ear. I had the chance to compare to my home store a dozen headphones in a price range of between 100 and 300 € in listening conditions fairly neutral or even optimal. (Different brands: Sennheiser Audiotechnica, AKG, Beyer, whose younger brother of the Sony range, the MDR7506). Initially, I was focused on a budget of € 200 max. Unfortunately, that does not allow me to buy a Stax example.
I was not quite convinced by any headphone up to € 200 at the time, there was always one reason or another that kept me (lack of definition, its overinflated and frequencies "embellished" or filtered hardness Stamp, inconfortabilité, etc.). Ultimately, I decided to crack a little piggy, my choice fell on the Sony MDR 7509HD, a step well above the 7506 model.
I use it for 4-5 years, including the mix.
There are probably better, but I like this headphone for its transparency "flat" (neutral) across all frequencies, without making a sound bite hard or too tiring to the ear for long. While remaining neutral and embellished in serious or light. Its high quality in my opinion is that he can reproduce sound with subtlety, clarity and definition, it can collect a huge range of components sound with finesse.
Worn for a long time, weight (although reasonable) arises. As with any closed headphones, it is better to give quiet time regularly. The Sennheiser HD25 for example, is unbearable after 5 min.
Wearing this headphone and finish have their advantages and drawbacks:
+: The "shell" fit nicely around the ears, the cable (accordion) is quite long and firmly inserted (at one point, side L), gold-plated jack (which reduces oxidation).
-: Not so adjustable that for "small size noggin" foam interiors are very light (must wear quickly, even if this is not the case with me), "cushion" or "applied "are quite brittle plastic (ideally I would have preferred a fabric like my Beyer).
If I remember, I bought about 250 €. Difficult to say whether today can still be a good value, considering the number of headphones that have been around even Sony. At the outset, I would correct. This is a headphone that I use almost daily. Accustomed to the type of sound reproduction, I would look in the future a headphone even better in this regard, if possible, a little more comfortable to wear. It is and remains an honorable quality for a budget not too tight nor too high.
