An industry standard for a reason
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones With Deep Earpads and Carrying Case Kit
Reviewed by Robert on B&H Photo Video
Whether in a recording studio or radio station, you'll always find these headphones there for a reason: they are the best. Just got my third pair (cat ate one ten years ago, other I gave to my wife). Tried my son's pricey Bluetooth phones with the opening of Jurassic Park: bass distortion. Let him hear the same with the MDR-7506 and it was clean. I'll never have a reason to choose any other headphones.
I have 7506 headphones older than my 13 year old son.

100% great headphones. I've had 6 of these over the past 20 years. I gave a pair away, had 2 pairs stolen, I tore the cable out of a pair repaired then lost them and I'm on a pair a few years young currently dressed in the 100% necessary SOFTIE covers. And just bought this pair for my son who got his 1st electric guitar at 13! Great value with fantastic performance, accurate reference, great isolation, compact, tough, AND affordable!!

So, I was using regular apple earbud headphones for quite a while to monitor the levels while recording. What I was missing though is that it was always harder to edit the episode after since I was using my computer speakers after. I now use these while recording to more accurately monitor overall volumes (without having to watch the Rodecaster on-board levels as closely). I also now plug them into my computer and use them while editing for a more consistent and flat experience overall. I'm glad I finally got these!
Great and Affordable

If given the proper treatment these headphones can last a very long time. On top of that, they are quite affordable, but also provide an amazing sound experience. Great headphones for any reason you may need them. I personally use them for listening to my microphone when doing recordings and they provide me with a very accurate sound representation, but I also now use them for listening to music and they are so much better than any earbuds I have owned. Definitely recommend, but make sure you take proper care of them.
Still the best studio headphones period.

I'm a producer and sound engineer. I have used 7506's for 20 years until I lost my original pair during a move. After a year of using a pair of senheisser 280s. I'm glad I came back. They still bring the truer flatter sound needed for great mixes. I wouldn't trade these for a pair of overpriced beats the color the sound. Let's just say that the music that a make with these sound great in beats but not vice versa. My only issue is that after a while u'll need to replace pads or wires, but that's because you know they'll get a lot of use. ... More

Reviewed by Matthew on B&H Photo Video
I use the product at my work station where I want to shut out my co-workers and just hear what I'm working on or referencing. They monitor fairly accurately. They are comfortable. I also use them on location. I find them robust and durable. My only beef with these are the ear pads come off when they get kind of old. I've been working with several pairs of these for awhile and I've only lost ear pads once or twice....so minor. Buy these for true monitoring and durable, long lasting gear. If you want something super-duper precise, I don't think these are the right headphones for you. ... More
Excellent headphones
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Reviewed by John on B&H Photo Video
I used this for monitoring audio for video editing. In that respect they were highly effective. In fact, in regards to audio quality they were awesome! My only concern was one, singular wire from one of the headphones to the band that goes around the head. It's only about an inch long and it sticks out slightly so be very careful it doesn't snag. Mine didn't, but it sometimes worries me. TAKE CARE OF THEM!

Reviewed by Marcus on B&H Photo Video
I can't describe how many times I've put on headphones around this price range that would quickly or even gradually start to hurt my head or just make me feel pressure on my head. Most times causing pain around the ears so I have to constantly adjust the headphones after only 2 hours or so. NOT WITH THESE! Not only does the headphones not put so many pressure on my head, but also the Deep Earpads are extremely comfortable which I can go on for 12 hours wearing them and still be good! Also another factor is the Deep Earpads add better Isolation as well. Don't pass these up! ... More

Sony just makes good stuff. When they introduced the MDR-7506, I couldn't believe the sound quality, comfort and smart design. I carry my own 7506's to every studio session. I don't like the mediocre sounding brain-squeezers used by some engineers. I can wear the Sonys for hours at time, even in brutal audio book voiceover sessions. It's taken me 20 years but I've worn out two pairs. This is my third. NO reason to change. I
Good Standard Headphones

This is my second pair. The original pair still works. It was possible to get new ear pads when the old ones wore out but it was difficult to install the new pads without damaging one of them. I've had to replace the 1/8 to 1/4 adapter, but screw in adapters are available if not common. Sound is good but pretty basic. I like the fact that there are a lot of them in use so the sound is familiar to many engineers. The long coiled cord and the folding feature can be a bit fussy for live sound but they work. I bought my first pair in 2007. ... More

I like these headphones, but I bought then for pure listening and I do not do any monitoring. I ended up letting these go and am still searching for the perfect sub $ headset.Pros: relatively comfortable, lightweight, solid build, excellent bass definition, and heavy enough for my tastes. Details are good and separation of instruments is good.Cons: I move around a lot and the cord is a minus. Woah the ear cups could swivel. Miss/vocals are a bit thin.

I've wanted a pair of these headphones for years, and I don't know why I waited so long to pull the trigger on ordering a set, as I've rented them countless times. These headphones will likely be with me for the rest of my career. After all, in the unlikely event that parts wear out, they're easily replaceable both from the stand point that parts are readily available and easy to replace. I recommend them without hesitation!
Simply great.

Reviewed by Tim the Tapeless on B&H Photo Video
I've personally owned these headphones for years, and when it came time to buy a set at work for recording and editing video, there was no question that we should get another pair. They sound great and clear throughout the entire range. The 1/4 adapter screws on quite snug when in use, and comes off easily to expose the 1/8 jack, which is great for plugging into our DSLR. When not in use, they fold up small and can be stored in the handy little storage bag that's included. Good stuff.
Perfect Headset for Most Situations

Reviewed by Brad on B&H Photo Video
I got my first MDR-7506 headphone about fifteen years ago and it still sounds clean and robust like the day I bought it. I know this because I just bought my second 7506 headphone and when I compare them side-by-side, the sound is identical. It perfectly represents the signal being sent to it which makes it a great production and post-production monitor. The size adjustment make for a great, comfortable fit, and the included 1/4 TRS adapter fits tightly on the 3.5mm connector to insure versatility.

I've been using the MDR-7506 headphones for televison audio and studio recording since 2000. The MDR 7506 are great because: the sound quality is amazing (lots of low end and a lot of clarity in the high end). Also the 7506 are ultra tough they've been dropped, thrown, kicked, they endured such a beating and they always keep working perfectly. The other great feature is that the 7506 headphones are so comfortable that one can wear them for 12 hours straight or more without any discomfort. Overall The 7506 is a great product. The standard of the industry.

I got these as replacements for my Sony MDR V600. Bad decision. Good bass response but mid highs and miss are muffled sounding. I use them with a digital piano and you can really hear the muddy ness in the middle of the piano. The old Sony headphones which are no longer made have been great for many years. They had not as much bass and the midrange sounded much crisper. I wish they had kept making them. I would have bought them in an instant
Great sound, durability issues

Reviewed by radioops on B&H Photo Video
Our radio reporters love these for their robust sound. Caution: if they get extremely heavy use, as they do in a broadcast studio, the exposed wires can get stripped as they rub between plastic parts. The wires are not replaceable. A little judiciously applied electrical tape can prevent the problem. Also, the pad covers will wear out more quickly than you might expect (they are replaceable.) But all in all, great phones.

Definitely worth the money. I can only compare them to Sennheiser HD 280 (mine are prob'ly 15+yr old) and AKG K371 (just bought). To my ears, they are all fine products. The HD280 are slightly more flat (as expected). The K371 seem a bit softer, maybe slightly more subdued highs. The MDR cups have a tendency to flip because they swivel more freely but not a big deal. They do seem a bit more fragile for that reason plus the exposed wires that make a big loop. Overall, I'd say a nice round sound. I love them so far. ... More
A Nice Set of Cans!

Reviewed by XEMENES Productions on B&H Photo Video
This unit is a must have for professional use, especially in video/audio production, It provides quality sound at an affordable price. Great bass and ambient noise come with these. We use these on video cameras, so we love the coiled cord, something we didn't find to much of on other products up for sale. The only thing we have a minor issue with, which we can find on many sets of headphones, is the moisture build up after wearing them for so long. So get the Garfield Headphone Softies to keep you nice and dry.

For Location Sound, which is what I do, I haven't found a better set of headphones, just the right audio quality for the spoken word. Also I like to have some contact with the outside world or your Camerman tends to want to drag you under a float at the Stampede parade! So it's good to have both enlosed sound and some outside ambience. Shame the earpads are a bit flimsy, but it's a small price to pay. Hope Sony carry on making them, never usually participate in reviews, but they are a cracking product for the price.
