Sony Mdr 7502 Professional Studio Headphones

I had been using a pair of Sony MDR-V6 studio headphones for years and years and always thought them fine. A friend convinced me to try these Sennheiser HD 600 and they are astonishinly better than my old trusty Sonys in every way - the clarity and sense of space in stereo recordings is amazing.

Can't go wrong with this set of cans. I personally prefer these to the Sony MDR-7506 studio headphones. The Sennheisers are much more sturdy and cancel out the sound very well. I would say these are heavy on the midtones but hold a decent bass. Not nearly as good of a soundstage as the Sennheiser HD598's which are dropping in price ($) but those are more for private music sessions as the HD280's I would recommend for video editing.

I've replaced the original earpads in a couple of Sony MDR-7506 studio headphones as well as a Audio-Technica BPHS1 broadcast headset. I find them more comfortable that the OEM earpads. Easy to install, and they last.

The Sony MDR-7506 headphones are a staple in the studio and it's easy to see why. These sound great and are so cheap. B&H had the best price I could find, they came the next day (for no extra charge), and immediately made all of my monitor headphones obsolete. The cord has a great flexible length, allowing the musicians to move about without being encumbered by length restrictions. Short story: Best studio headphones under $100.

I have used the smaller MDR-7502 indoors and outdoors for years. When it was time to replace it, I bought this MDR-7506. It sounds so much better, more accurate and is comfortable to wear. It also feels a bit sturdier and has a stronger cable which is good because I hope these fine headphones will last. I use these for video meetings, sound mixing, video recording and editing and listening to music. They are sensitive enough to be sufficiently loud when attached to the 3.5mm audio out jack of laptops and other equipment, but they really shine with a headphone amp or audio device that has a good headphone amp built in.

I use these earpads with rather old Sony MDR-V6 headphones. I have found them to be very comfortable.

If your needs are anything less than a professional recording studio, these are the headphones for you.

Sony MDR-7506 Headphones are one of the most prestigious headphones for audio production for a reason. Highs, mids, and lows are crystal clear and I'm able to wear these for hours without the ear pain. Could not recommend these headphones enough.

The Sony MDR-7506 headphones have great definition. Work great for mixing.

I needed to replace the ear pads on my Sony MDR-7506 headphones - this for the second time... I use them to monitor audio levels during production. The originals and previous replacements wore out quickly, leaving flakey black plastic bits all over my head, face and ears. NOT acceptable. I am trusting that Sheepskin leather will hold up much better.
