Sony MDR7506 Professional Large Diaphragm Headphone (International Model) No Warranty

I purchased these Sony MDR-7506 headphones a couple of months ago. More recently, I've also purchased Sony's very similar (but not identical - see below) Sony MDR-V6 Monitor Series Headphones. My reason for purchasing a second pair (and getting both models) was because the V6's were very inexpensive at the time I ordered ($30 cheaper than the 7506's), and because I was curious to see if I could tell a difference between the two. In reading many of the reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere, I knew that the two are constructed very similarly but there were different opinions regarding both the di

These headphones are amazing, especially for the price. These headphones were introduced in 1991, so surely something in this price range has come along that is better, right? What I found, nope. These are still the king. I researched several headphones before making this purchase. I narrowed it down to these (Sony MDR-7506) and the Audio Technica ATH-M50, which at the time of this review, were $50 more than the 7506. I had seen both headphones recommended numerous times. Luckily for me, 2 co-workers had the 7506 and the M5's, so I was able to AB test both.I listened to a variety of music on e

First off, these were an impulse buy to use with the Orange Crush Mini guitar amp since the built in speaker kind of sucks. I wasn't really planning to use them for anything else, but curiosity got the better of me.I've had to edit this review a bit since my thoughts have changed with extensive testing and even some experimenting with two different DACs.The short version? Buy them. If you're on a tight budget and don't want to do any thorough research, these headphones WILL be revealing in ways that may not alway be appealing, which is precisely the point. They've been on the market since 1991

The best headphones I own for gaming. The reasons: 1. The cord is thick and swirled for extension without breaking. 2. The amplify quite nicely when running through desktop speakers. 3. MOST IMPORTANTLY. They sound phenomenal to me. I am by no means an audiophile, but I have been through MANY headphones in my life and these are by FAR my favorite. 4. The speakers have not torn when I crank up the volume to full blast. They sound as good today as the day I purchased them. Those who like loud music are all too familiar with rattling speakers. Hasn't happened since I bought them......

Honestly a great pair of head phones with almost no downsides. They sound great, are super light, reliable almost no matter what the situation is, they’re great. Only problems I personally had was that they’re collapsible. Any time I try to put them on, it’s like trying to fight with them to get over my head. Once they’re on though, they’re not coming off. They’re nice and snug, and they don’t kill my ears after being on for an hour or two. The only other problem too was that not much bass comes through the headphones. I make music and the bass can be the most important part, so I’ll be over m

I have had a few of these over the years (Sony has made this model for over a quarter of a century!) and they have never failed to impress me.They have been a standard among professionals for decades and I still see people in radio, television and all forms of broadcasting, sound engineers on location, musicians in the studio, etc. using these headphones all the time to this day!You can easily find better headphones for LOTS more money but you won't find a better wired headphone than these made anywhere by anyone for under $100!They are surprisingly rugged in construction, and the sound they r

I love these headphones. The sound is wonderful with deep clean bass and crisp highs. Individual instruments and vocals are clearly distinguishable, at times seeming to float around me. The ear pads fit snugly but comfortably, even with my glasses on. When combined with the closed back design of the headphones, outside sounds are strongly blocked, making it easier to fully enjoy the music. While the coiled cord is longer and heavier than I need for everyday use, it is only a minor issue for me, and it is better than being too short. The folding feature and the provided case are helpful for red

I am hearing impaired and have loads of headphones and headsets, some of which are much better than others for me. I did a lot of research before I bought these Sony headphones because they were pricey and I wanted the best sound for my hearing loss. I lost all my high pitches so I need both volume and the ability to get crisp clear sound in order to make up for my deficits. After reading review after review of different headphones, I chose these.These have large ear cups which is great because I can wear them over my hearing aids without pain. Although I usually don't wear my aids with headph
