Everyone loves this headset, which has been around for quite a while. Great sound. I'd give them five stars if they did a better job of excluding other, unwanted ambient sound--they do a pretty decent job, but of course are not designed for that

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.

A friend who is very particular said these are the ones to get....he's been happy with his for 20 years! I just listen to music at home with them but they've made that a whole new great experience. Very comfortable, too. I've haven't had them all that long but no complaints.

I've used these headphones for more then 20 years. Their frequency response to highs and lows are perfect. And that's why its great for studio applications. Also use it onsite for weddings. I think I've gone through like 5 or so but keep on coming back to the same model.

Very surprised how good these sound. Clear highs and mids. Even decent lows. The cable is a bit long for hand held camera work. I have a Sony FS7, and the muffs bang against the camera body. But when on sticks or in studio, no issue.

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!!!!

Used these on a shoot one weekend and bought a pair the next day. The difference between these and the phones I was using ($30 pair from a reputable company) was night and day. High quality and they fold up compactly to fit in my gear bag.

This is my first step into production-quality headphones and I'm not sure why I waited so long. They sound crisp and clean and collapse to a convenient size. I bought a $10 Sentey case online and can now safely toss them in my backpack when traveling to shoots.

These 'phones are a classic for a reason. The MDR-7506 is an easy-to-wear set that last way into long hours without fatigue, always dependable, quality sound... you cannot go wrong with them. And the price is still great, too. Get extra pads and you can go even longer.

Sony Studio Monitor MDR-7506's are alone in their class. All the field audio engineers and camera operators I know use this headphone to monitor audio recorded on location. They are ruggedly built, comfortable enough to wear for hours, and accurately represent what is being recorded.

These headphones are clean and crisp. For the money, this is superb value. My only thing would to spend the little extra and get the leather cover ear pieces instead. A previous owner informed me that the original ear pieces do strip over time. Other than that audio quality is on point.

I purchased these primarily as tracking headphones in a recording studio. These were exactly what I was looking for. Comfort, great sound, portable, and little sound leakage when recording next to microphones. You can't ask for much more for the price.

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.

I use this product when listening to the music I am recording and mixing. They're great considering I don't have a lot of money to spend as an independent artist. The higher frequencies, however, are a little high in the mix. It's something to keep in mind.

Great Product.

Bought my last pair in 2006 and they lasted me until 2011. I, myself chewed through the cord while mixing on them (mixing habbit) and instead of getting them repaired I just decided to order new ones. I now chew gum when mixing in these.
