Reviewed by Jon on B&H Photo Video

I have always like the 7506's more than any other headphones in the price range. You can find more exquisite headphones, but in my opinion, not at this price point. The only thing Sony missed with these is making earpads that fully cover the ears, and Auray addressed that with their aftermarket earpads for these 'phones. The combo is my go-to for tasks from editing to live music mix.

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.

Beautiful product. Incredible sound quality, people clamor to listen to them. Very lightweight, comfortable to use (even more comfortable with pearstone velour pads, $). Very mobile, as they fold up compactly. The cord can get a little annoying because of its length, and they're not the best-looking headphones, but these are very minor gripes. Altogether I recommend them immensely.

Too fragile for student use

These sound good and are comfortable. But for everyday use with high school media students, they aren't holding up. Each ear pad is connected to a thin and fragile wire that breaks too easily and looks quite difficult to repair (unless may you have a jeweler's magnifier and terrific soldering skills).

Just great 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!

Reviewed by Marcelo on B&H Photo Video

I've found a very good and plane sound, with good response at all frequences. The only thing that I'd complain is that the box for them seems a little small when you put them in, but nevertheless they enter perfectly. I'd really recommend them for basic studio monitoring, or sound editing for cinema & tv, like I do.

Replacing a pair of the same headphones that got me thru over 12 years of service. It doesn't matter what new technology is out there, these are a professional pair of headphones that do what they are supposed to do every day and now they are the the same price and performance they were 12 years ago, yet they out-perform theIr 'stylish' imitations over and over.

I've been in the industry for 35 years and when it comes to headphones in the field, this pair is a match for me. I do tell others about the Sony MDR-7506. In the past I've had a pair or two where the material flakes off the padding. I usually buy Garfield Headphone Softie Earpad Covers for to keep the pads in good condition and to add a level of comfort. The headphones are a recommended buy.

As a professional musician, voiceover artist and radio broadcaster, I need headphones that are durable, reliable and provide clear, even sound every time. Sony's MDR-7506 headphones are all that and more. They are very reasonably priced for what you get. That's why I, and countless other pros use them. You should too!

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!

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.

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.

...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.

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.

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 use these set of headphones at work mixing and editing audio and video, I also own a pair of Seinhesser HD and beyertronic's with the velvet cushioning; compared to them these still have great bass and good mid and high ranges. They are accurate and not much sound from outside leak in. Def a great set to have in the studio!
