Sony MDR7506 Headphone

The Sony MDR7506 Studio Headphones have become the standard in film and television field sound recording as well as studio recording. I've been a film sound recordist for 20 years and prior to using the 7506 phones, and their predecessor the MDR-V6 Sony MDR-V6 Monitor Series Headphones with CCAW Voice Coil, I used what all the other location sound mixers used, the Beyer DT 48. The sound in the 7506 is clean and clear. There is a low end accentuation which you have to get used to. This bass boost helps me hear rumble and low end hum better in a noisy environment and I see it as an asset. If you are recording, just remember not to roll too much bass off because of it. The main reason these have become so popular with film and tv sound mixers is that they not only sound decent but are CHEAP! Compared to the Beyer DT48s which cost around $400.00 now, the Sony 7506 phones work just as well. I can buy four sets for the cost of one DT48. I've never had a failure in the 20 years I've use...

I normally don't write reviews, but for these headphones I'll make an exception. They are the ultimate. I have been using them basically non-stop for 12 months with a variety of music at a variety of volume- Jazz mostly but also metal, classical, j-pop, prog rock, you get the idea. I thought I would buy these exclusively for studio monitoring, but they work so g*ddam well that I use them to engineer albums too. They worked great right out of the box, but the icing on the cake is that they actually work /better/ over time. That is, the bass settles and sounds more like that which you would hear out of actual stereo studio monitors. I recommend them to everybody regardless of musicianship. They're less than $100 for goodness sake, and the durability leads me to believe they'll last for decades. If my pair breaks for some freak reason, then I'll have no qualms replacing them with an identical pair.

I'm in film school and needed some headphones for shooting and editing. These are perfect. Buy this product. You won't regret it.

I don't actually currently own a pair of these headphones, but I do have a pair on the way. I have used these on more than one occasion since my VJ700's decided to blow out on me. The sound quality is amazing and they are super comfy. If you are a dj and play long sets, you know how important this can be. They don't swivel quite like the VJ700s but the compromise is well worth it. They are very durable and they wont blow out on you like the cheaply made VJ700s will. They may not be as flashy, but you will be extremely satisfied with the overall sound quality, durability, and comfort of these headphones! Kaskade uses them too, so you know they are good.

I won't say much. These headphones rock. For what you pay, it's great! I LOVE THEM. No complaints whatsoever. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a great deal for quality. QUALITY BABY.
