Solid Value and One Gripe

Sony MDR-7506 Headphones Review

Reviewed by Jerome on B&H Photo Video

It is hard to go wrong with these headphones. Everything that I need to listen to music, whether recorded or through my Vox AC115CH guitar amp, and at a very decent price. They are quite comfortable and light. The only gripe I have is that the connection cable is on the left side. My MacBook receptacle is on the right, so I have to drape the cord behind me, which is not optimal. Is it just me or isn't this just wrong?

Granted I've only had them a couple weeks, but my goodness you can hear everything. I use some XD200's for personal iPod use and they're pretty decent for the price ($20) but wow these 7506's I just used on a shoot and they sounded brilliant. I used them with an iPod and it was unreal how clear everything was. Quite a product.

These are amazing earphones, so good that I swear my audio track quality has improved just because of the clarity of the sound while I'm shooting. I now see why they have become legendary. I do have one gripe; the cord is WAY too long for my liking. It must be 12' when uncoiled. As I'm monitoring off the video camera, 2 feet would be ample. I wish the cord could be interchanged easily.

NO at all disappointed. I bought this because I moved to a storey building where my room faces the streets. I wanted something that could keep the noise of passing cars out while I record Youtube covers. The low frequency response is mind blowing too....has never gotten distorted despite massive lows in the stuff I do. I just wish the cable was detachable.......but that is no issue.

The MDR-706 Headphones are an indispensable standard in the field and the studio. I've owned probably 10 sets in my career without ever having a failure. Now keeping them from walking off on the set that's another story. Buy them, you won't be disappointed, they're a real work horse and sound great!

I love how throwback these are, and I see why they've been the champ for so long! My only critique is not with the headphones itself, but the deep ear pads. They are definitely better than the original, but get warm way to quickly. I have to take them off once in awhile just to cool down. They are also a serious pain to put on once you've removed the originals...

After using the 7506's since the mid 90's and needing a new set just because the old set was a little beat up, but still sounding great, why mess with something that just works each and everytime for field/studio audio monitoring. Great reference headphones,especially after a short break in period. I also added the beyerdynamic earpads for added comfort. Cannot go wrong with these headphones.

After borrowing this model from my audio-video son for a year, I have finally made the plunge. These headphones are great, comfortable, not too isolating, and very linear for a classical music buff. Presence is very good. You just won't find better headphones for the money. The long cord is a real plus!

Good headphones. Comfortable. Ear cups could be larger.

Overall these are great headphones and I would purchase them again. Nice long coiled wire. Comfortable. My only complaint is the ear cups are a bit small for me. I guess I have big ears! I didn't think I had big ears but they just barely fit inside the ear cups and over time it can be slightly annoying.

Works Great!

...very comfortable and is great for a simple pair of monitor headphones. As I am not an audiophile but rather a sound engineer I prefer the best raw sound as opposed to the highest fidelity. These phones work great for giving you a raw sound without too much bass. A more accurate sound is what I work with, and these deliver.

I am on my second pair of these Sony Headphones. Unfortunately my first pair literally fell apart. Then the cord malfunctioned after 9 months. Maybe I got a bad pair I don't know but the second pair sounds different(More Highs).I know that I paid only a mere $but I expected better from all the talk about these Headphones. They do keep the noise out very well and fit just right, but if you are clumsy like me, these are not the headphones for you.

I had these for many years, and have been amazed at how many profesional use then all over the world,tv, radio, etc. I broke the connector or I would still have it. They have a good sound, it handles the los and high with out over doing. Excellent head shoes with excellent price. Yes you can find better if you need hi fidelity sound , but you will pay much more

These are not for Audiophiles, if you are looking for those set of headphones look at the AKG K 702 Headphones. These should be used for monitoring of audio inputs for video recordings. Don't get me wrong, these are good headphones overall and I used them on flights just to avoid carrying two sets of headphones when I travel around. I cannot speak highly enough especially for the price.

The headphones came in brand new condition. They fit comfortably, the ear pieces are a little flimsy though. The sound is great but i wish they were louder! It might be the device i'm using, my laptop, that i use them with. I was expecting a little more base and sound but overall i love them. It was definitely worth the money i spent.

I have a home studio and need things a little quieter at night. The MDR-7506 are the only pair of headphones I've used. I love the sound quality and feel of the headphones on my ears. They are durable, reliable and will last you many years. Sure you can pay more for something else but there really is no need to. For under $, that sounds just perfect and so do the MDR's.

This is my sencond 7506 and I just bought it as a backup. I use this headphone for video editing and encoding and have been using my firtst one 5 days a week for eight years now but it is sitll in good condition. Ear pad is somewhat vulnerable and you may need to replace it every year or two but if you think of sound quality, durability and price, there is nothing better than this one.

Amazing Value!!! Couldn't be happier!

These offer a really refined balance of highs and lows- perfect for audio mastering and field recording. They are also just great for music enjoyment of all kinds. I looked at headphones of 2-3 times the price and read nothing but praise for these-- I have to agree, for the money, I couldn't ask for more.

First, thanks for the great service and fast shipment. Got it within a day. It wasn't easy to choose a headphone to buy since there are too many models and too many reviews of experts so I decided to choose the brand I know since the 80's and if it is good enough for the music industry then it is great for me. The sound is a very clean stereo kind with no unnecessary special effects.

I can hear clearly now...
