Good to use for professional stuff, but I have trouble using it for some everyday things like my TV or laptop. I start getting interference in the sound some how but when I use it with my recording equipment it's great.

Sony MDR-7506 are a reliable reference for professional audio monitoring. I've been using them in my studio both in the control room and recording booth for years, and have added new sets to the ones that keep on delivering. I have come to count on their consistency and accuracy, and know that other professionals can count on their results as well.

Perfect headphone as a reference

I've been using this model for years. The clarity and true representation is never disappointing. I have a pair that I've had for almost 15 years and they still perform beautifully. I'm a very picky vocalist and have never found anything that sounds this good for the price.

Bought these for our mother so that she can rock out to her music, get in the zone and paint. Love the old school style of these. If you use it with your phone, just remember to purchase an adapter in order to connect it to your phone!

I sold my Bose QC3's and decided to go with these after a good music producer friend of mine steered me toward these. I love the sound and they are very comfortable. The bass doesn't get distorted like the Bose and Beats By Dre. This set is the BEST BANG for the BUCK!!!!

Durable and reliable, the Monitor Headphone by Sony is indispensable. We use it to monitor sound recording in the field. Perhaps a little bulky and a little heavy -- it can be cumbersome when you are shooting on the fly. But the quality of the product more than makes up for these minor issues.

Sony released a couple new models to surpass the quality of the 7506, and reviews have been lukewarm. At $ these are a bargain and are far better than any $300 Beats headset.They are still the standard with most of us pro film sound recordists.

I personally have never heard headphones quite this good, delivering clear and transparent sound. Frankly, the best word to describe the quality is thrilling. They create almost a dimension in sound. By comparison, the Bose noise-cancelling headphones sound muddy.
