unremarkable
I've had Sennheiser and Sony headphones and high-end audio gear for years; headphones include the low-mid-level HD598s and MDR-7506s. These 7510s sound something like the 598s in that both focus on midrange, somewhat to the detriment of high and low frequencies. Even after two days straight of playing various music -- the so-called break-in period -- through the 7510s, they retained a canned, nasal sound that I could not bear. I liked the additi... Show More

Very good, but could be better
I'm using those headphones for reference in my home studio, while doing live sets for soloing channels and simply for listening to music in&outdoors. The low end is a bit too loud for a reference pair, as is the top band. Noise isolation is really good, keeping the quality on the streets. The shells are not isolated well enough though, so you might experience scratches, pops and clicks if they're touched. More for listening to music than for work, but it's a good pair anyway.

Better bass than 7506, but, just as uncomfortable.
I use these for sound mixing within corporate video. I can say that for me the difference in bass sound quality between these and the MDR-7506's is quite noticeably better. Other primary difference here is the head band between earphones. The padding is noticeably thicker than 7506, but I was disappointed that the band is so narrow. Because of this for me, the headphones become uncomfortable after a couple hours and I have to move the band to ano... Show More

Good
Very good headphones. Only con is that they are too tight and my ears start to hurt after long use.

Excellent!
Owned multiple pairs of 7506s. Loved them but too bright on the high end. 7510s have a great flat response needed for the mixing environment

Excellent
I've owned 7506s for many years and have always had problems with the high high range on them. My mixes would always sound dull on other systems due to the 7506s brightness. The 7510s are definitely an upgrade. They won't flatter your tracks but it will give a much cleaner flat response, needed to have a closer representation of your work. Highly recommend.

Reliable, Proven Headphone With Many Uses
The Sony Studio Monitor Reference Headphone has been an affordable, music-industry and musician standard for many years. This newer model improves on the frequency response and sound balance of the previous 7506 model around for years. If you are an audiophile enthusiast who wants the most elevated listening experience with CDs, vinyl or audio files, you can find numerous higher-end models but spend significantly more money. Do so if this is your... Show More

Head set was everything I expected
I would come back to B & H and purchase again There was enough description to make an educated decision on purchasing the head set.

Clinical Reference Tool
These headphones are great for the price point, and I certainly prefer them to the Sony MDR-7506 (I think these are sturdier, fit better, and sound better), but at the end of the day these aren't designed to flatter what you're listening to. While the frequency response isn't necessarily super linear, they do a good job of reproducing a wide range of frequencies evenly and transparently. This means that frequencies in the critical band seem to st... Show More

Excellent Price and Quality
Great headphones and excellent price. Used when editing videos. The cable length allows a good amount of freedom when shifting around at the desk.

case does not fit the headphones
This a review for the package. Not specifically for the headphones,...but the fact is, this case does not fit these headphones. Many of the pro headphones out there have a detached cable from the headset. These do not. As a result, the cable extends a bit past the earphone cup, and as a result, makes it VERY difficult to fit into the headphone case provided here. I really worry about using this case for these headphones as I feel there is too muc... Show More

Great sound but not built for the road....
They are good for sound but not for rugged use. I have a gig bag and a piece of the plastic casing has already broken off... I guess I could glue it but I've only had them for a few weeks so I feel I shouldn't have to. They do sound great though, and you can't beat the price... but i guess they sacrificed durability for price.

Hardly a professional studio equipment
The 7510 have very similar problem to the older 7506 model - way too much treble, with high peaks so, that for me it was painful to listen for more than a few minutes. Build quality is not bad, but not good either. Overall construction I would describe as very flimsy looking. There are a lot of headphones on the market, for the same price which built like a tank (look at Sennheiser 280 at least). 7510 on the contrary, remind the rather my cheap (if not even fake) headphones I had as a kid. I am at loss to say how Sony call this a professional headphones.

Neutral quality headphones for your monitoring
These studio headphones have that flat sound response you would expect from your monitoring system, so you can fully trust your ears after, of course, the given time to really know them. I switch between the headphones and my monitor speakers all the time when mixing and I can say that I'm very happy. I also use them when I'm composing and don't feel like to use the speakers, for a more quiet session. They are a valuable companion for every sit... Show More

Certainly would buy it again
Great sounding headphone. Easy to use without an amp. Read many positive reviews about this headphone. And I fully agree !

They used to be good...
I've used these phones in studio for years - sounded good, fairly, durable, nice long cord, comfortable for long sessions. But I re-order them after most have broken headbands. That usually happens after several years. But these last ones I ordered started breaking pretty much as soon as they were out of the box. I guess this is a common problem now. Going to something else next time.

Good
This is good for professional work. Build quality is a 5. Mine broke after 6 months of heavy use. If using for listening to music, be warned: it's cord is very long and ungainly.

Great Sound! Recommended.
I have used these headsets in the past and you just can't beat the sound quality for the price. Now that I have my own production studio, the Sony MDR-7502 was the first piece of equipment on my list. I think that they sound great and are a real value. I am no audiophile but I use these for monitoring my sound quality during filming instructional videos. You can see and hear a sample at www.astute-digital.com. I like the fact that you have both 1... Show More

I recommend these cans
Love the flexible coiled cord, good screw type phono plug adpt, Nice felt carry bag. Best of all is the sound. I think it has a balanced non fatiguing sound for extended listening. Instruments have good detail without sounding too harsh from a personal computer port. Comfortable over the ears cushioned pad which rejects many outside sounds.

Great sound Headphone
MDR-7510 Frequency Range 5Hz - 40kHz MDR-7506 Frequency Range 10 Hz - 20 kHz so MDR-7510 Frequency Range wide than MDR-7506 for listen orchestra.

Mid-priced, but not a middlig performer
Once past the $100 level for headphones there are lots of good choices, however for less than half of that, the MDR-7502 represents a good value. No, they don't produce the deepest thump & bump, but they are quite accurate and easy to listen to in the all-important mid-range which is often scooped out to emphasize extreme highs and lows in some 'phones. These are lightweight but sturdy, go on and off the head easily and highly recommended for voi... Show More

Sonically awesome, comfortable, but one big flaw
I love these headphones, they barely leak and are surprizingly comparable to the HD 600 that are priced similarly but are less versatile. I havent had any problem wearing these all day either, they're built much better than the older 7506 and v6's with, obviously justifying the price point far nicer materials. There is one big caveat to this headphone though, the arm that holds the earcups. The joint on each side of each earcup squeak at every sl... Show More

Very Comfortable, Nice & Natural Sound, Fair Price.
I bought these for monitoring sound/music for video editing, and it's important to get natural/neutral sound. These headphones produce exactly what I was looking for. It has a good balance between bass, mid, and treble and not unnaturally boomy, like typical headphones available for music. Built quality is nice, the looks is professional, the material is not excellent but good. Not excellent because it's made of plastic, but the quality of the pl... Show More

Lightweight and good sound
Lightweight, good sound, fits snug on ears. I put them in my camera bag for monitoring sound. The onky drawback is they don't fold so it takes up more space than my other Sony headphones that I use for editing.
