Sony Headphones Not Playing Sound

The sound really came alive using these cans. Sony knows headphones.

My previous Sony headphones were studio headphones and I was unsure how much of an upgrade these new ones would be. I use them for playing my keyboard workstation. I read the reviews and decided to make the purchase not really knowing how much of an upgrade they would be. I was shocked when I heard the presence of the keyboard in these headphones. When I hit a bass note it sounded so different and deeper. I kept playing and playing and all of my songs sounded new again. For $90 what a crazy upgrade! You have to hear it to believe it.

I use these headphones primarily for playing on my church's worship band. They do a really great job blocking out all of the external sound while allowing me to clearly hear my monitor mix. I also use them to listen to music while mowing. The sound quality is better than your average Apple earbuds but is nothing compared to headphones with multiple drivers. I love how these fit in my ears. It takes a few times putting them in to get the hang of it but after that, the fit is sung and I can wear these for hours with no discomfort. For anyone looking for noise isolating headphones with good sound, the Shure SE215 are a great budget choice.

I have been using these headphones for more than week and they are fantastic. I have been playing Steam games at night and they sound loud with clear sound all around. These headphones are extremely comfortable when using with my Lenovo Legion Laptop. I always love Creative Labs products. Quality is always there. Plus i got them on sale here at B&H.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are excellent little headphones! The sound is typical for JBL with deep bass and crisp highs. They are very very light, which I like a lot. They are comfortable to wear. I really like the integration with the JBL Headphones app. This model has a feature that measures the fit of the headphones by playing some music and using the microphone to see if it hears it. I learned that one of my ear canals needs a smaller end than the other! These have ANC which works very well. I used it in presence of my loud motorcycle and it removed all of the harsh sound, but not all of the sound. I really like that these are able to sense when they are in my ear. They will stop playing when not in the ear. That definitely helps when I am listening to an audio book and have to take my headphone(s) out to chat with someone. It will pick back up as soon as I put it back in my ear. I do wish the case had some texture on the outside, because it is slick and I have dropped it a couple times. All in all, I would definitely recommend these to a friend!

Compared to my previously well rated Sony headphones these are the bomb! Sound is much more calibrated to how things sound in home stereos and car radios! A well priced option for head phone mixing applications and anyone looking for accurate and great sound phones! The ear pads could be a tad softer?

I have now tried 4 different headphones: Sony MDR-7506, Beyer DT990, Sennheiser HD650, Shure SRH1840. My intent was to find headphones that I could mix with, sounded suitably neutral, and have a similar response to my Yamaha HS7s, and to my HiFi which I use as an audio reference (Naim 42/110, into Rogers Studio One speakers..) Here are my conclusions/comments 1. Sony 7506: great for tracking; decent response, good isolation(I have two pairs of these..) 2. Beyer DT990: too much bass plus a sibilant top end, and 'scooped' mids. I did not like the sound of these. Returned. 3. Senn HD650: better than the Beyers but still an over-emphasized bottom end. Nice for general listening through a good headphone amp, but not good for mixing. Returned. 4. Shure SRH1840: best of the bunch, and sound very similar to the HS7s in my home studio. Bass is tight and responsive, and seems faithful to the intent of the recording. Also sound pretty close to my 'reference' hi-fi system. These are keepers. I wish that they were made in the USA.. !

The sound of this Sony ear-bud is exceptional for such a low cost! I have used these E9LP ear-bud headphones.... on the go for casual listening and at home critical listening and they do not disappoint! At such a low price, I own several pairs. I am very happy with the comfort and the high sound quality! Highly recommended...

Ive used the standard Sony studio monitoring headphones for video production purposes, and while they sound fine, they just dont last very long...ear cup material comes apart or just comes off. The Sennheiser HD 280s are buil to stand up to the riggors of location production applications while providing great isolated sound for monitoring purposes. My only compliant/wish would be for them to switch to a non-coiled headphone cable...gets stretched out if someone decides to wrap it around the earpieces or if it gets shoved into a bag.

I am really pleased with my new Sony MDR-7506 headphones. The sound is great. The headphones are comfortable. I don't know how they could be any better.
