I used both 7506's and SENNHEISER HD 280PRO and usually use 7506's more since got 3 pairs of both at the house. 7506's I have I use in the club all the time since in my locker at the club I 2 pairs 1 I use and other as back up in case if on I using on stage break or get wore out.

the headphones are fine, the dynamic range is 10- 20 Khz not bad but the 7506 HD's are better

Is the sound quality with 7506 better than HD280? (I have HD280)

I'd say no. I've used HD280 once though. Didn't find it that much of a difference however

These headphones have been a studio standard for years!

20+ years to be exact

FWIW, got these things nearly 6 months ago... love them to death. I have travelled with them on plane, car, boat, whatever. They get a lot of use... still bulletproof. I dropped them 6 feet from the top of my dresser onto a wood floor, no noticeable damage.

Posted by <tuss> on Sep-12-2007 03:26:

the first pair i bought about 6 months ago crapped out about a month into use, no idea why. the right ear just totally cut out one day, and the left ear lost about half of it's output. however, i got a brand new pair within 2 weeks under warranty and they have'nt failed once, damn good headphones, no doubt about it!

Posted by aLviNx80 on Sep-12-2007 03:37:

i own 2 of these headphones, and love em.
the sound quality is great and im pretty sure it
won't break on me like the mdrv700's that i used
previously.

on another note back to the stanton dj pro 3000 headphones, i've had nothing but problems with them. its like their made of paper or something, they broke 3 times in 3 separate places,the cord gave out in less than a month and i could only hear the highs and no lows, and had to wait 2months for the ******s to send me a new one cuz they didnt have it in stock. just terrible.

I know exactly how you feel.

that's one of the reasons i love the 7506's so much. other cans always slipped off my tiny head / shiny hair.

I just love the way the 7506 grip your head without feeling like your brain is under pressure. You can wear them for hours and not feel uncomfortable. Wearing the Pioneers or the fat technics for too long felt like I had a small child gripping my skill.

If you really want to see these babies shine, plug them into a proper receiver, turn the bass and volume up, wowzorz.

Owned both pairs. 7506 FTW.

Though if you like bigger bass, go with RP1200s.

the Sony's arent the nicest looking headphones though are they?

Posted by stan229 on Dec-10-2007 16:58:

why would you care about how cans look?
what i love about the sonys for me is that their oval shape of the earpad, not circular.. for me it acutally form fits on my ear, very comfy
reason i chose these over the rp-dh1200s is the technics are just really big on the bass.. it felt like the lows were at 5 oclock haha

I'd just like to add that I very recently bought Sony MDR 7509HD's - I have never heard headphones this good (huge difference between my old mdr v700's) so if you can stretch the extra $$$, do it!

Good to know. I've had the 7509's for 2+ years- my first set of headphones. I haven't had any others to compare them to but I've been completely satisfied with them. They sound great and although I've read complaints about how they break easily, for me they've been very durable. I've tried to take good care of them but throughout normal wear and tear they've held up extremely well.

MDR-7509: Highly recommend

over 2 years now and i still love my headphones

only thing is now my earcups are starting to get tattered

i went into the sony store and asked about replacement parts and they gave me a card for a local sony parts dealer, looks like i'll be getting some new earcup paddings for christmas

I've seen pictures of this, and I wonder how it happens. Mine are now a year old, used daily but they still look as new as they did the day I got them.

If you tape a pinwheel to the side...it looks better than any other pair out on the market.

(i think)

i'm pretty sure those are mdrs v6 or 7506 (same thing)

dj logic (who's dj logic?)

tiesto, on the other hand, is fond of technics and jesus poses!

i own MDR V6, same thing, great device. they were a little too quiet in the lows for me last friday, but that was probably because i was 5 feet around the corner from the goddamn speaker.
