Sony 7506 Headphone Amp

We have a couple of pairs of Sony MDR-7506's around and one of my team calls them the "AK47" of headphones. Reliable, indestructible, and they just work. When I picked these Senal's up- on a B&H daily deal, and they showed up- he said- "Look like they came out of the same mold as the Sony" which may be correct. As to comparing the audio specs for listening to music- I can't tell you squat. I use them with our video camera to shoot talking heads- and they work just fine. The best part- which may be a curse over time, we'll see, is that they have interchangeable cords. I LOVE the short cord while shooting. It stays out of the way- and doesn't get caught on things. For this alone- I'd buy them again and again. I'm hoping it holds up. But, then again if the Sony cord goes bad- good bye entire headphone. I was a bit disappointed they didn't come with a headphone pouch. But- other than that- these rock.

For the price this dac/amp is a bargain. I use it to drive my Sony MDR Z1R headphone and my Sennheiser IE 900 IEM. Wired connection sounds better than the bluetooth connection but all the features this product offers makes this a must have. Just buy it you will be happy. This is audiophile bargain

A rare find. Not too long; good use for a headphone amp.

Mic, Pre-Amp, and Headphone Amp in an all-in-one package! Nice to be able to use a USB mic without the need for a separate pre-amp. Really like the headphone jack incorporated into the unit with separate gain controls for the headphone volume.

The fir was perfect on my Sony 7506's and they were easy to install.

I use this cable to connect dac to headphone amp. Works flawlessly.

I got my first MDR-7506 headphone about fifteen years ago and it still sounds clean and robust like the day I bought it. I know this because I just bought my second 7506 headphone and when I compare them side-by-side, the sound is identical. It perfectly represents the signal being sent to it which makes it a great production and post-production monitor. The size adjustment make for a great, comfortable fit, and the included 1/4 TRS adapter fits tightly on the 3.5mm connector to insure versatility.

My old MDR-7506 headphone ear pads are starting to wear, and shows visible cracks. It's been more than a few years, so I figured I would try these CanSkins Earcup covers. These are covers, in other words, they go over your existing pads. They are NOT complete replacement earcups ! I have found the sound is still excellent, and I didn't want to replace my headphones, which are nearly 100.00. I would recommend, but just remember they cover your existing ear pads. For the price and excellent buy.

The MDR-7506 is a great set of headphone, but the pads that come on them are terrible. They break down fairly quickly and start to flake off, leaving debris in the user’s ears. These velour earpads are much more comfortable, and they don’t flake. This is an absolute must for the 7506 headphones.

I use to as a headphone interface to a guitar tube amp DI out. It works great for that.
