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!
AMAZING HEADPHONES AND EARPADS!

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
Used these with CNN. You will love these forever-work horse.

Seriously, Solid, clear work horse. I'm still impressed with the 7506. Industry standard. I started using these 18 years ago when working for CNN. They've taken the beating of being used for our run and gun shoots yet comfortable and clear to use in the studio. You get an "honest" sound out of these. Like I said... Solid and reliable.
Clarity!

Clarity and clean detail is what you hear. That's exactly what I want. Great for any music. Well recorded orchestras sound stunning. I love this headset and it gets a lot of use every day. The pads started to deteriorate after about a year or so but I found replacement pads on line that worked fine. Eventually one driver went down but I got my money's worth. Glad this model is still in the line so I could get a replacement.
Solid for the price

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.

Classic headphones don't disappoint!

Reviewed by Vintegreo on B&H Photo Video
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.
Mediocre At Best

Reviewed by Christopher on B&H Photo Video
I bought these headphones so that I could monitor field my recording rig. They are compact, lightweight, and form a good seal over your ears. However, the quality of the sound that they reproduce is poor. The low end is rather boom-y and just not very pleasant across the rest of the spectrum. If you're looking for a headphone that won't break the bank and that you can spot check audio with, then these can work. If you're looking for something neutral, or with any shred of truth to them, then steer clear.
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!!

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
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.
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.

While probably not on par with the thousand dollar headphones I've seen other industry pros use, I couldn't be happier. I use a pair of these at work and bought a pair for home use. While not of the currently popular noise canceling ilk, the comfortable and well sealing ear cushions provide just enough to block out extraneous noises. They fold compactly for easy storage when not in use and have a very sturdy design. While not overly large, you probably won't see me on the move with these things on. Just a bit too big to use at the gym... ... More
Just glad Sony still make them!

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.

I utilize the MDR-7506's in my project studio for tracking purposes. Vocal tracking more than anything is what these mainly get used for in my studio. Overall, I would say they are a great product. At first, I was worried that these might be hyped and not deliver to the level expected, but I was wrong. These definitely provide the clarity and noise-isolation that I was looking to provide for people in my studio.
Needs some quality control.

The MDR-7506 cae highly recommended. It has great sound quality and very little back ground noise. Very compact and easy to stowaway. Im not very happy with the ear cuff construction it is soft enough, but after one use a one inch tear at the seam in the ear cuff a appeared the material was very thin. A pain in the butt to send back with a RMA I hope the next replacement headphones i get will be better and hold up longer than a day. Once I use the headphones for a while and don't have tearing issues i will submit a new review. ... More
Headphones=Quality
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Reviewed by Josh Aucker on B&H Photo Video
I use these for recording sounds in the field for sound design. I also use them to mix on and the are surprisingly accurate and give a pretty nice mix considering they are closed headphones. They fit over my ears nicily so they do not hurt them when wearing them for long periods of time. They cancel out noise very well. Be careful though because it is easy to stand next to a bass cabinet turned all the way up and think you are good when recording it.
Incredible headphones

Reviewed by fishlistener on B&H Photo Video
Only used for a couple weeks, but very comfortable, fantastic sound. Big enough that I wouldn't use them for any athletic activity, but not an inconvenience to wear for nearly anything else. I don't like how the cable that connects the right ear piece is exposed, and could get hung up on something, but it's only a minimal concern at this point. Time will tell if it becomes an issue. I could see flexing over time degrading the wire as well.

If you're inching you're way up the production value curve, owning a pair of 7506's by Sony is a rite of passage. Whether mixing on-location or monitoring your rough cuts in post-production, Sony engineered these with you in mind: - awesome range - great bass response - zero latentcy - comfortable and convenient (they fold-up) - unbeatable price I keep my 7506's next to the set of near-field monitors I purchased from B&H (they're stellar!) to throw on every other hour to embed myself in my sound mix.

Recently I was close to dropping $300 on a high quality pair of 'phones but restrained myself and picked these up instead. After a couple weeks of daily use I am loving them. I use them for recording music and editing video. The sound quality is excellent and they are supremely comfortable as my ears fit all the way in the cups so there's no pressure like with smaller-cupped phones. Every part of them feels high quality, not cheesy like 80% of headphones out there. The thick, springy cord is great when you're standing up with a guitar strapped to you. You can't go wrong with these! ... More
