-- Sony MDR-7506 Review
Pages (10): « 1 2 3 4 5 [6] 7 8 9 10 »

Lee Burridge also uses MDR-7506s.. Sasha uses MDR-7506s
DIgweed usually uses MDR-v700s, last i've seen pics of htem they were both suing A&H Xone cans but i think that was just for sponsership

Also, celebrities using these = nothing new, since they have been used in radio stations and recording studios for years and years...

A friend of mine is visiting the US in a couple of weeks and I asked him if he could buy me one from there. It's a whole lot cheaper than over here.
Does anyone know stores in preferably Houston where he might pick one up?
He'll be visiting Dallas and Detroit too so if anyone knows some stores in those cities that would be cool.

industry standard for over 20 years now, i've been in radio stations that still have original pairs, obviously they've been worked on over the years, but that's why they're designed modular, for easy repair

i was quoted about 120 each cup for replacement, i think they thought i wanted the whole cup though and not the cushion

either way i think i'll just grab a new pair regardless, then i'll at least have a backup in case something drastic happens and it's beyond repair or i lose them again (that week i had to borrow my friend's v700's was torture), which is quite possible considering the amount of use and abuse mine have gotten over the years

i seriously have put my 7506's through some tough shit and they're still kicking strong, you're stupid not to own these headphones

I have 2 pairs, and am buying a third soon.

I have 'em, I like 'em. Very durable, even after a great deal of punishment.

My one complaint is that the coiled cable gets fucking annoying after a while, and it's starting to become loose near the plug, exposing the inner wires. So far, I've solved this problem with electrical tape. Anyone know if the cable is replaceable in some way?

yup, you can just order a new cord through your local sony parts retailer

thats a pretty persuasive review. i'm still rocking my Sennheiser HD280's and very happy with them still. next time around i'll check out the Sony's, i do know they're very comfortable which isn't as important as fullfilling their duty as a well-rounded headphone but it's still very important

you won't be disappointed

i've tried and used in a working environment many headphones, the sennnheisers, sony's and technics, nothing holds a candle to the 7506

i bought 2 pairs a while ago and buying another 6 now lol, pushing all my friends to have them.

I loved my pair until there were stolen at the airport (d'oh!). I'm back to using a 5 year old pair of HD-280's, which still do the trick...but look terrible (imo).

time for another update i guess

as stated in another thread, after years of rigorous club use i've finally broken down and am picking up a new pair, only my 2nd pair since i started

my earcups are tattered and falling off and my cold is stretched and tangling, otherwise they're still pulling through for me

real djs use real headphones

there is a company which makes custom earpads for the 7506, i forget the name, but I need a pair as well! will google

i'm just going to grab a new pair, there's a big sale going on at axe music this saturday, might as well go grab a pair, then i'll refurb these and have them custom painted

Right now I have rp-dj1210 and just ordered 7506 as a second pair. Based on comments here I think technics will be collecting dust when Ill get my hands on Sony

IMO these and the senheisser HD-25s are the two best DJing cans out there...

yep

The right ear has just given out on my technics and my brother has nicked the my rpdj 1200's which I fuckin love. So that said with all the positivity being displayed in this thread about these. i've just ordered a pair.

about £65.00 off amazon. looking forward to getting them..

The Beyerdynamic DT250 cups fit the 7506s. From what I have read they are suppose to be amazing..way better then the stock cups that come with the 7506s.

I just got these delivered this morning..cannot wait to put them on

those look lovely! let us know how they work out!

so i finally went out and grabbed a new pair, damn i love these cans

the drivers on my old ones were getting a bit sloppy (especially compared to my new out-of-the-box ones), along with the eaten up pads and stretched cord, but that's after 3 years of hard use, averaged 2-3 gigs a week

soo comfy time to break in the new set

Just got my pair in today. First impressions:

- They look smaller than I thought they would be. Especially compared to the 7509 I've used a couple of times.

- Comfy as f*ck! I like....I like a lot!

- Sound wise I've tested them on lower volumes only up to now. Sounds good so far.
Compared to the HDJ-1000 I've had for almost 5 years (and are still in top notch condition btw),
they are somewhat a relieve.
I was never too fond of the sound coming from the HDJ-1000 which is too boomy and overwhelming in the bass.
That's OK when using them in a club but I wanted to hear what was going on in the other frequencies too.
Something the 7506 provides in a better way.
Will test these soon live and see If all the earlier raves in this thread are justified,
but I have no doubt these cans will be good

Not to forget I'm finally cured from the "look how pimpin' and pr0n my headhpones look".

I really want to purchase a set of these but i CANNOT justify it owning both a set of HD25's and Xone XD53's.. (i got the xone's for a 10er extra when i purchased my xone92)

I've found myself using the Xone's more and more as they seem to put a little more emphasis on the mids compared to the 25's which i find sound better to me if i wanted to 'listen' to music but for mixing i seem to be able to mix tighter when using the Xones..

And trust me i'm a die hard fan of the 25's so my opinion isn't because i'm some Xone whore..

i really can't describe how much i love these cans.

like seriously, they're one of the greatest purchases i've ever made

I've actually got a pair of these coming my way for Christmas. I'll be using my Senheisers for production/listening and the Sonys for mixing.
