Q: 1. I'm told that since these are 63 Ohm impedance, they require a fair amount of power to work properly. In other words, I was told to expect poor results from an iPad or iPhone. Is that correct?

A: These reference headphone are considered high impedance but will work with a mobile device, such as an iPhone or iPad. A portable headphone amplifier, such as the FiiO A1 Portable Headphone Amp (Black), BH #FIA1BK can be used to boost the signal.

Q: 5. Is this headphone stereo? I assume it is due to type of plug, but just want to verify before purchasing it.

Q: 6. Is this a good headphone to use to manage sound from field recording?

A: It is an industry standard for that application.(answering in case someone else other than the asker benefits)

Q: 7. I saw some Sony headphones advertised as Hi-Res audio capable. Are these headphones capable of that?

A: In a word, no. They are not rated to exceed 20kHz in their upper frequency response. That doesn't mean they can't reproduce these frequencies in some capacity, it means they are not flat (however that is being measured) past 20kHz. In fact, these headphones have a significant drop off past 15Khz, but that does not equate to a more muffled or low-fi type of sound. You'd have to hear the difference between these and something like a Beyerdynamic DT880 to know what I mean. There is no loss of fidelity, but they are not rated up to 25 or 30kHz, which I would consider the minimum to be Hi-Res capable.I'm answering this in case it helps someone else out.

Q: 8. Is the 1/4 adapter screwable?

A: Yes the 1/4 adapter that ships with the 7506s has threads. The adapter fits snuggly over the 1/8 plug and locks in place by twisting / tightening the threaded section at the end of the assembly. The connection is secure. Sound quality and clarity remain excellent.

Q: 9. I own the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, which I use for film production location sound. I'm looking for a more compact alternative that will take less space in my camera bag. Are the Sony MDR-7506 a good option in that regard?

A: Yes, the Sony MDR-7506 Headphones (BH #SOMDR7506 • MFR #MDR-7506) are a great option for monitoring location sound, with 40mm drive units that can accurately capture a wide dynamic range. They are also easily foldable and should definitely take up less space in your bag than the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x's.

Q: 10. Is the coiled cable replaceable? Does it detach from the headphones?

A: The cable for the Sony MDR-7506 headphones is not detachable.
