Sony MDR 7506 Professional Large Diaphragm Headphone Review

[jnbalmer448]

how are these with dubstep?

[dreamstwice]

The ear pads are easily replaceable.

[satjathamma]

Hi! is it possible to fold the ear pieces inside out like the more expensive sonys?how long did you have them?

it looks like you had them for years to be able to get them worn out like that?

or maybe thats just crappy material around the ears?

[bg99106]

I should of went with the Beats Solo HD for jamming, if these are just for flat sound.

[Studiologix]

Thank you. Great review about the durability, functionality AND sound quality. It's great to see reviews from guys like you who REALLY do use the stuff and KNOW about the things they use. Thanks bro!

If i am getting them strictly for sound, nice bass, and comfort, should i go with the 7506's or the v6's??? Please respond!!!

[JohnMorrisonMusic]

@majsk84lif3 These are studio headphones they are designed to be "Flat" and not have any enhancements like bass etc. They are for music production not DJ'n or general listening.

[BetterDuckAudio]

By far my all time favorite headphones. Im on like my 5th pair.

[gmlasam]

Can you replace the ear pads? I think these headphones are great for home studios, specially if you are recording loud amplified guitars and want isolation these headphones provide.

[jordana8899]

From the way you speak, I think you might be queer. I don't trust gays giving technology reviews.

Oh an guess what? I won't listen to you, I will buy this model to mock you!!

[irobdanation1022]

do they have a lot of sound leakage?

[TRGN909]

イヤーパッドを新しいのに交換すると、パンチのある音が蘇ります­よ。その時は、ウレタンリングも一緒に交換して下さい。良い音を­末永く楽しんで下さい。I love 7506&V6.

[TapouT227]

hey man i was just wondering if they have noise cancelling on them with a battery or anyhing. if not, would i need them in general. im looking to use them when i mow

haha. thanks man

[Tom8183]

Nice review, but please use a tripod next time.

[sapaha39]

i owned this same model for about a decade...and had the same experience...comfortable, great sound, ..but the spongy ear part started falling apart after couple years...i'd buy them again though

[mandoman1123]

the pads CAN be replaceable

but i strongly recomend you buying the Beyer Dynamic DT 250's velour pads

they are much more comfortable and much more durable

it will even increase your headphone's performance as for it seals much more than the stock sony pads.

[SealofApproval105]

are the pads replaceable??

[ZerOArtGFX]

yes but there costly, around 13 a pad. But the headphones are completely worth it. AMAZING SOUND for a now amazing deal.

[KinetikPlayground]

i love them but yer right the pads are cheaply made mine are coming apart after about a year...i thought it was just my fat head LOL

[dreamexecution]

replace the pads with the beyerdynamic dt-250 pads for around $20, pays for itself in the long run but they are more comfortable and durable

[RP2008PREZ]

If you want the exact same headphones for $25 less you can get the Sony V6.

[GLAXxan]

maybe u should use a static camera...

[lolitztoeknee]

Have you been chewing on them? I've had mine since Europe two years ago, they're in my garage right now on my drumset and have no damage to them.

[phototristan]

The earpads are replaceable but are not sturdy at all. Sony really needs to make them better. I think they just want to sell us more earpads. I've owned these headphones for like 15 years and bought like 4 sets of earpads already. Sucks.

I love everything else about the headphones though. I've compared the sound with headphones costing double and they sound just as good.

[boredtrophyhusband]

if you want better bass, try messing with the equalizer(for itunes, try theR&B preset) and listen to 320 bit rates.

[macklingaum]

I have that headphones ... SOUND IS V GOOD CLEAR.

[domeain]

my only complaint about these headphones are the ear pads since they started to rip a bit on the inside like the ones up on the video.but i heard you can replace them with Beyerdynamic DT 250 pads which should be more durable

[jasongrimm111]

Great headphones, audiocrunch in the uk have reviewed these too

[BrianPalmerPhysics]

Thanks for your thoughts - I just bought these online and am waiting for them to arrive.

[plew01]

You think these are better than the Bose Tripod

[JubrilRandom]

I do not own the bose headphones so i cant comment

[cram1nblaze]

i will let you know when i get my 506's in a few days.

[hotzcubiek]

@plew01 I owned the Bose On-ear (tri.), Bose AE2, Beats Studio, Sony mdr 7506, and Audio Technica M50...

These are clearly better for sound mix and overall sound quality than the Bose tri. Compared to all these I would say the Audio Technica M50 beats them all (for studio use and overall sound quality)

[kennyp987]

@plew01 LMAO

[plew01]

On a scale of 1-10 what you give these?

[JubrilRandom]

solid 8. Sound is great very crisp. Not the best for bass though. Very comfortable for wearing a longtime

[jordana8899]

@JubrilRandom Obviously, you don't know what you're talking about. don't be a nigger, 8 our of 10 is not fair. other professionals gave it great reviews, and non of them complained about the bass. It's your stupid Ipod or your old computer that doesn't supply much power to the head phone. YOU UNDERSTAND!!!

[PortalRealm]

@JubrilRandom these arent suppose to have alot of bass, these are STUDIO headphones. if they had more bass, your mixes wont sound as good

[raahr]

@JubrilRandom Jabril, you can replace those pads with beyerdynamic velour pads. I just bought a used pair. I have to replace the pads as well.

[raahr]

@raahr just realized that this was 3 yrs ago...
