-- Sony MDR-7506 Review
Pages (10): « 1 2 3 4 5 6 [7] 8 9 10 »
thinking about picking up a pair. I am using the older model Technics headphones now, and really like them. I have owned the silver Sony's and the Pioneer 1000's as well, and to be honest, don't really prefer any of them over each other sound wise. I use them to play out, and they all do the trick. I like the simple design of the 7506, and if they're comfortbale, thats a plus too. Just a quick question, are these really $100? That seems on the cheap side for headphones...

Have had these for a few years now best headphones i have ever used.
what about the Sony MDR7505? i like the fact that they are smaller and lighter weight...you think they are worthwhile?
Just got me a pair of these, for about $95.
Hopefully they live up to the hype, as they should. 
And they are WIN.
Has just the right amount of crunch, and they're quite comfortable...
Only gripe I have is a non-removable cord, but the quality, it is there.
Great cans, comfortable as f*ck and very crisp sounding. You really have to give them some time because at first they seems to have to much HIGH's. After 2 months Im in love with them and my backup technics rp-dj1210 (good hphones too) sounds muddy to me now
Cheers
so i got drunk and lost my cans at a party (don't ask)
sucks cause they were just getting broken in too, now trying to break in my new replacements
been leaving them running with music going through them while at i'm gone to work to speed it up
How long do you recon it took your old pair to get broken in?
Honestly, once I got over the novelty that I had a pair of headphone BT, Sasha, Howells, etc... used I have never been so dissapointed.
£120 quid not well spent.

I have a Denon reciever. And they still suck shit.
My Sennheiser HD580's on the other hand rock so much.
Everything just sounds so fucking crisp and clean. My production translate so well from them too. Obviously though they are openback so useless for djing. But otherwise they kick serious, serious ass.

even with import tax you could have gotten the v506 for well under 120 quid
Well I won't lie, this has pissed me off. I found my email I got and I paid £105 including postage, so fuck knows where 120 came from.
And honestly, even if I paid half that, I still think they suck bollocks.
How they came to be so popular is anyones guess. Sennheiser beat them in every bloody direction.
Credit where credit is due though, replaceable parts is cool, and I love the way they look.

There are 2 ends of sound reproduction... detail on one end and musicality on the other end. The Sonys are obviously on the detail end of the spectrum. Accuracy over all else. If you're looking for a headphone for casual listening they are not that great. If you want to hear exactly how your mix sounds then IMO, for the money, there isn't a better buy out there.

The 7506 and v6 are more flat/bright compared to other headphones. Some people just dont like the sound of it. My friend swears by the technics, but hates the sony. He says he likes full sound, but the technics i feel are a little tinny and muddy. His cans were kinda messed up in terms of the headband, but i dont think the sound was affected.
The midrange on the 7506 are great, but the highs are a little high.

I dont think they are muddy, just lacking in bass. I think the reason why everyone likes them so much is that they usually beatmatch with the mid and high range. I guess thats why i like them so much.
they've been standard in the recording and radio industries for over 20 years now
so obviously they're doing something right
different strokes for different folks
