Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Reviewed by Christopher Caldwell on B&H Photo Video
I'm a voiceover artist and for years have used these headphones in every major recording studio I've worked in. They are super comfortable. There is no noise leakage, so when you are doing a voiceover via phone patch, or ISDN, your mic won't pic up the director's voice. The sound is very clean and not colored. Nice high end, and the bottom end is tight. You don't need to crank the volume up with these up, either. Highly recommended for voiceover professionals and others who desire pristine quality sound, in a very well made package. Ive also used these to watch a movie on my laptop-there's a mini plug included, just unscrew the phono plug. Very nice headphones.... ... More
''Good'' headphones to begin with...
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Reviewed by Amadeus on B&H Photo Video
Clear and realistic sound reproduction is how I summarize my review.Besides, they have a decent bass that is just natural not amplified. Speaking of sound quality, they perform quite well: precise, crisp and honest.They're also very comfortable and tightly adjust on the head. They're flexible yet feel durable.Furthermore they're compact: you can fold them inside and twist or adjust them.The long coiled cord may be a plus for some giving them more freedom and a downside for others who'd want mobility.To the minus points now, I would note two: -They collect dust easily or it may be just me! -The travel pouch is okay but could be better. ...

Great Headphones
Sony MDR-7506 Professional Closed-Back Headphones
Reviewed by Josh on Guitar Center
I've had em for a few years and I haven't had a problem with em. They are very high quality, and the generate great sound. I had one pair before that broke because one of my siblings had a temper tantrum, but I hadn't had any problems until then. Despite using them for listening to metal and playing games, which can be very taxing on a pair of headphones, they haven't had any reduced sound quality or volume that I could notice. My only complaint is that the small wires on each side that provide power/ audio to the actual ear cup have a layer of insulation around them that separates from the headphones almost immediately. But, like I said, no problems with receiving audio or quality, so I can't complain too much. ... More
Good enough...
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Reviewed by Dan on B&H Photo Video
This Sony offering is lightweight, comfortable, covers 'my' ears and the integrated cable has a respectable reach. However, I'm not too crazy about coil cords as they invariably get tangled, and I would prefer the headband to be just a tad more cushioned for my bald head. Likewise, the isolation from background noise isn't that great for my taste. Frankly, I can't think of a more subjective and totally individualized component than a set of headphones. You can read specifications until you're blue in the face but until you try them on your head, and with your ears, you'll just have to deal with potential returns. Overall, these are more than adequate although I'll likely bump it up a notch. ... More
Good Value, Nice Sound
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Reviewed by Kramer O. on B&H Photo Video
I think for the price these headphones are really good. The sound is clean and I feel like I can trust the accuracy of what I'm hearing. I do a lot of video and audio editing so for me, sound accuracy is really important. I could've went with semi-open headphones to get a little better quality sound but since I'll also be using these in the field I decided to go with this closed style. My only complaint so far is that the headphones aren't as comfortable as some others I've worn. I think I'll get used to them so I don't think it'll be a huge deal but it could be better in that regard. They fold down well which is nice for traveling. ... More

Best monitoring headphones in the world for the price
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones With Deep Earpads and Carrying Case Kit
Reviewed by Christian on B&H Photo Video
Every film set and post production facility keeps a ton of these around for a reason. Very neutral so you'll hear what your mix actually sounds like, but still clear and capable of impactful bass. When I saw B&H had them for $88 instead of the usual $100 I had to scoop up a pair and wasn't disappointed. Took off 1 star because they do get uncomfortable around the ears if I wear them for a full work day. But again, can't be beat for the price. This 100% what I'd recommend to anyone starting to seriously use audio for work. ... More
Best pair of head phones I've had
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Reviewed by Alterego on B&H Photo Video
Bought these mainly for my recording class, though I was needing a new pair as my old ones managed to break in half. These headphones are made from metal and plastic so hopefully that won't happen again. The folding function is nice, and the threaded 1/4 adapter is a plus. All sound frequencies are crystal clear, playing guitar through these direct from the amp gives me great sound and range. My only concern is the small wires at the folding joints, which overtime I bet will be the point of failure when I lose sound in one ear. Folding joint + small wire...hmm... Other than though this is a great pair of head phones, definitely worth the money. ... More

Reviewed by Sajith on B&H Photo Video
Some people will tell you that this headphone will have a flat response. Some will tell you it sounds neutral. I'm not an audio expert, but the music out of these headphones sounds great for any type of audio. I am used to my in-ear sennheisser earphones and I found that this is a big step up for listening to music, watching movies and gaming. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind sacrificing state of the art wireless technology and ease of mobility for some good quality music. Ideal for laptops and mobiles alike.

For any field monitoring use these headphones are the way to go. I am an owner operator video DP that also subcontracts sound engineers, I have tried many other headsets and it always comes down to, well they are OK, but not as good as a set of MDR-7506's So then I ask, why not just get them in the first place? Sonically they are un-matched, and because they are closed you can easily isolated what you are recording from background. Anyone who is seriously recording sound owns a pair of MDR-7506's. The only compaint is the wire used in the curley cable is difficult to solder, so many times a repair becomes a replace. ... More

I was really surprised at how well this headphone sounds. Deep low end response. Clear mids and highs. They are definitely the perfect pair for audio/video editing. If you're looking for a headphone to listen to your tunes on ipod - this is not the headphone for you (most likely). However if your looking for a headphone that will reveal EVERYTHING in the mix - you can't go wrong with these. In my opinion these are head and shoulders above the Senheiser HD280 Pro both in sound quality as well as comfort.
Nice, flat monitor sound
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Reviewed by John plays Bass on B&H Photo Video
I use these headphones both for home studio production as well as capturing live sound on set. The ear pieces give great isolation in and outdoors, and the sound is very flat and balanced which makes it easy to hear detail and fix problems in the moment. My only complaint is the the 1/8 jack is bulky and heavy, so it tends to fall out of my recorder when I'm capturing live sound. If it doesn't totally fall out, it dips from the weight and pushes on the sound card, so the audio will cut out for a second. Because of this, I prefer using these for my home studio work as monitors. ... More
Great Headphones for Music Production

Reviewed by Michael on B&H Photo Video
After my 30-year old Sony MDR CD50's ear cushions became non existent, I decided to give these headphones a shot. 1. Great "flat" response 2. Ideal for music production with DAW 3. Good for recording vocal with their minimal leak 4. Very much affordable for anyone 5. Comfortable to wear for extended periods of time 6. Foldable and come with their own "gig bag" Overall, I strongly recommend these headphones - you will be very happy with their performance.
Less than impressed

I bought these for personal home use. After reading the reviews I expected to hear angels sing when I tried them. Not so much. Decent sound, uncomfortable on the ears, plastic all over. Awkward storage configuration. Makes me wonder what all the people giving these 4 or 5 stars were listening to previously. I don't usually write reviews like this. I have a set of Klipsch one and Able Planet noise cancelling headphones that sound just as good if not better.
Exceptional; not just the value!

I use these headphones for both personal and professional use in broadcast, audio and video editing when I'm listening for particular audio ... nuances which are often easier to pick up via headphone compared to monitor speakers. There was a time at the tv network I work for in Canada, that we had literally hundreds of these. And then they started disappearing, so the network subbed them at work terminals with much cheaper models. Understandable, really. Highly recommended, although I did sub out velour ear pads for longer-term comfort. Thanks Sony for keeping these in the mix. And B&H offering amazing pricing on the 7506's. ... More
Back To Basics
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones With Deep Earpads and Carrying Case Kit
Reviewed by Richard on B&H Photo Video
I was coming from a 15 or 20 year old set of Sony noise canceling headphones that were worn out with years of use. The new MDR-7506 phones sound good and will do the job. I mainly use them with my Zoom H6 recorder for monitoring sound during video recordings. The sheepskin ear covers work well after you stretch them enough to fit. But the case provided is much too large to fit in my audio bag and so I'm not using it. No doubt it would protect the headphones very well but I need to minimize how much I carry for location video and this mega-case is just too large. Otherwise this should be fine for what I needed in a basic headphone setup. ... More

Im so impressed, by quality and comfort. I usually listen Spotify premium in my office during work, and with this headphones i just re-discover it again. Absolutely amazing that all that i can say. Super comfortable - after while of listening music, you simply forgot what you even wear it. Highly recommended. Also i have order delivery in Vietnam and have been received it after 10 days of place my order, what is very good delivery time.
Looking for that Flat Response?
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
Reviewed by William on B&H Photo Video
In the cinema world these headphones have become the standard for both field work and studio. The major selling point of these headphones is that they deliver a very flat response. Un-like other headphone that boost the base or even out the mids, these allow the listener to hear the exact response to their editing or mixing. In my own experience as a film maker, we use these cans both in the field, dubbing theater, and in the editing room. They deliver a great quality at a great price point.

i use these headphones to listen to my i-pod and do music assignments on Smart Music(music program). the sound is amazing, and the headphones muffle noise but don't completely block it out. making it useful for anyone who needs your attention. the fact that these headphones can also fold into a small bag is great for storage, and for finding them easily. the only small problem is the length of the cord, whenever i'm listening to my i-pod i have to stuff the cord in a pocket otherwise i can trip on it.

Reviewed by Mr. TOE on B&H Photo Video
I purchased these headphones because I wanted a second pair of monitor headphones for my studio. The very firt thing I noticed about these headphones is that they are very lightweight and the earcups are EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. These are very good for recording as the earcups provide a good level of sound isolation. I use these headphones for tracking and editing songs in conjuction with my ATH M50's that I use for mixing. One thing I noticed when first listening to these headphones is that the mids sounded a little exaggerated compared to my M50's. But overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and I highly recommend these to anyone whose looking for a good pair of headphones for recording. ... More

I'm a sound engineer and a musician and I have been listening to everything I can on these headphones since 1999. Got some in college and they'd get used afew hours every day. For my ridiculous amount of wear and tear they last about 2-4 years (I think that's amazing). Whether I'm playing bass in the live room with the drummer or having to edit tracks and not bug anyone, these are the only headphones I reach for. I've probably had 5-7 pairs and love them and will keep getting them/replacing them if they break or blow up (and they take abuse pretty well), I hope Sony never discontinues or changes them. For anyone using them casually I'm sure they'd last a long time. ... More
